Girl, you didn’t know I had Xanex in my purse? Just kidding… But seriously you know I LOVE you! Can’t wait for our next slumber party on Thursday. Watch out Houston, here we come!

Umm… Is this the same Lizzy that I met with Erica and Dwan? Really? Honey I adored you! Aside from a few tweets here and there this was the most I’d ever talked to you AND our first meeting! I know you think I’m nuts but let me tell you, it’s crazy and insane meeting so many people in such a short amount of time. I get nervous and I talk too much and then I obsess later about what I said, mental replay if I was a complete nut (consensus on that is… YES.) But I chalk it up to this is another part of me. I’m not nervous in front of monitor (unless I’m vlogging), I don’t get hung up on what I say so I have to FORCE myself not to do it in person.

Hugs to you lizzydear … You are much adored and loved and you have a new fan in me!

Jill is right, many have their gameface on. My first BlogHer was 07, nobody knew me aside from a couple of blogfriends. I attended 08 which was more fun because I had more friends, but it really wasn’t until 09 that I got the occasional, “I know you” or “I’ve read your blog.” And I started blogging in 2005! Best to focus on your goals and if you don’t seem to fit or be welcomed into someone else’s “tribe,” then start your own.

I feel MUCH the same way at conferences. Seems everyone puts their game-face on, but many feel the same way. Hopefully we can spend more time together and get to know each other at the next one.

Thanks so much for the encouraging words ladies! I actually had a better day on Saturday, so it all worked out, I was just really struggling on Friday. You all are awesome, and I do appreciate your kindness!

Hey, tomorrow is another day. The sun will shine and you will feel better. Sometimes a little break from home is good to you and them.
Keep the faith and all will be well.

If it makes you feel any better, I felt like that all during BlogHer and even at the brief Ninja launch event. I hope it’s normal! In any case, it is certainly relatable- especially if you are closer to your blog friends than real life friends at the moment. It’s hard not to have time to yourself at conferences and it’s awkward when you’re not the life of the party. I am sure you will enjoy yourself when all is said and done.

I’d get homesick too, but I am totally green that you’re at Blissdom. My blog is centered around reviews/giveaways and I feel kind of used too at times. It is what it is. There are a few bloggy friends that only comment on personal posts, and this year I’m trying to post more non-giveaway posts.

I’m hoping to go to BlogHer so that I can meet you – you sound really nice in person.
