I mean, a friend that was familiar with the blogging world - someone that would vow not to leave me in any awkward situations.<br /><br />Because I didn't have another person by my side, I was very introverted. It's difficult to work up the courage to just walk up and talk to random people. Fortunately, Gigi and a few other people helped me warm up a little!<br /><br />Next time, I think I'm going to feel like I already KNOW so many people (even if it's through the computer) that I won't have as difficult of a time!Jessica | The Frilly Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856046520941215320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-52706594761448446872011-06-28T13:11:24.341-04:002011-06-28T13:11:24.341-04:00I agree that we shouldn't be intimidated by pe...I agree that we shouldn't be intimidated by people we think are better (more famous, richer, etc.) than us. On Sunday, Austin Collie attended our church again. I knew my dad wanted an autograph, so even though I can have a conversation with Austin I felt stupid asking him to sign a piece of paper. But he was so gracious about it...some people are just nice, even those who play in the NFL.<br />SandyMom of 12https://www.blogger.com/profile/03622293584581118824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-85147216669743438072011-06-28T12:59:40.688-04:002011-06-28T12:59:40.688-04:00Great info, Shell!
