getting out of the house

I’m a firm believer that you get what you expect. If I think that I’m going to have a shitty time, well guess what, I have a shitty time. I decided that I needed to get out and have some fun! When I heard about the VanCity BlogHer meet-up I knew that this is what I needed to do, that this would be fun. I RSVP’d and then I was wor­ried because I didn’t know any­one but I’m so tired of feel­ing lonely so I decided that I was going to go and have fun. I got dressed, got a hair­cut and got my ass downtown.

I held my breath as I walked in. Would they all already know each other, would I be an out­sider? Would I fit in? It sucks to feel so inse­cure, to be so full of self-doubt. I was one of the first to arrive, but once I saw the other women I exhaled. They smiled at me and I knew that I was going to have fun. These women are an awe­some bunch. We sat and talked and the time flew so quickly. My only regret is that I got so engrossed with the con­ver­sa­tion that I was hav­ing that I didn’t actu­ally get to talk with every­one. Next time I’ll have to get out of the cor­ner seat and make a point of circulating.

Thank you Mr. Lady for orga­niz­ing and host­ing this meet-up! It was so nice to get out and meet fel­low blog­gers. I’m sad that I can’t make it to Chicago this year, maybe I’ll be able to go next year. I’m slowly adding every­one I met on Twit­ter and get­ting them added to my reader too. This blog­ging thing is awe­some and over­whelm­ing! I’m so glad that I decided to get out and have some fun!
