a couple months ago, i received an email from jish inviting me out to a informal gathering of vancouver bloggers. this was pretty impressive considering mr. jish’s internet notoriety. i didn’t go. i chickened out. i didn’t want to be judged or ruin my carefully crafted “image”. my foothold in the community was tenuous at best. i regret it.
a couple of days ago, i received an email from jish inviting me out to an informal gathering of vancouver bloggers. it is still pretty impressive considering mr. jish’s internet notoriety. i don’t know if i’m going or not. i’m getting braver, but am i that brave? the more i read about devon, paul, col and derrick the more i’d love an opportunity to meet them in person. i’m still chicken. i still fear judgement and rejection. i have until seven-thirty tonight to decide. i will probably regret it.

10 Thoughts on “fame and assorted consequences

  1. I don’t think they would have invited you if they didn’t think you would get along well with the others. You should go, it might be a lot of fun and you might make new friends!

  2. i say GO! it was nice that you got an invitation. :)

  3. Yes, go! If you’re not comfortable, you can leave, but you’ll never know til you go.

  4. gogogogogogogogogogo!!
    ps. i would be terrified. but i’d go.

  5. being one of the people you’d like to meet, i think you should definately come. plus jish is cool too!

  6. come, you silly girl!

    a game above my head;
    i may not belong in this league.
    how do you know unless you go?
    try…surprise yourself
    what you can do, or dream you can, begin it
    boldness has genius, power, and magic in it
