Bloggers' meet tomorrow!
I should be getting my beauty sleep soon, or the sight of me will be giving the other bloggers nightmares at the bloggers' meet tomorrow.
I'm such a chicken that I even contemplated not turning up, but I'd given my word, and, well... I can't allow myself to be so wimpy, can I? *grin*
Yesterday, a friend sent me an SMS message, and I suddenly remembered that she has a blog. Not very frequently updated, but a blog nevertheless!
So I called her up and begged and cajoled her to go to the meet with me. She eventually agreed (after making it clear that I owed her big-time and that buying brunch wasn't even gonna start to cover the payback).
Then I started worrying about not being alone. Coz you know, she's the kind of friend I can be totally myself with, and when I'm with her I tend to be goofier than normal simply because I can be. It's not an act, it's just that the wackier side of me starts coming out...
Well, she had news this morning that her grandmother's very ill, so she can't make it tomorrow. I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.
Ash says he's never been very good around new people... well, I still think of myself as the introverted bookworm I was in my schooldays! My standard modus operandi in social situations is to ask the other person questions, to get him/her to talk. Then I don't need to worry about keeping the conversation going. In my experience, people enjoy talking about themselves and their interests and once you get them started, all you have to do is pay attention, be interested, nod your head and ask intelligent questions once in awhile. So now you know my secret :)
Boy, I'm nervous - oh, did I say that already? LOL. OK, I'm going to get my beauty sleep now. Man, what shall I wear???!! (I can't believe I'm starting to sound like a typical woman!!! *gasp*)
