(Although when I get nervous and awkward, instead of shutting up, I talk A LOT and then really show my stuff. Nice.) <br /><br />And just so you know if I was at your Wednesday night dinner and saw you order a beer, you'd be my new best friend--to be a beer drinker in a sea of wine drinkers is kind of awesome. <br /><br />PS I think there's only one picture of me, too. I think Justin took pity upon me. :)katie//salt+pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769420277840297005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706389922010724345.post-18541394564930198262012-01-31T16:05:38.560-06:002012-01-31T16:05:38.560-06:00Great recap.

Jessica: I can&...Aww, you all are making me blush!<br /><br />Jessica: I can't stop laughing at "Fuck that shit", that is pretty much exactly what I was wanting to say! Nothing beats beer in my opinion. Plus, I look like a fool when I order wine, I never know what the hell to order. I usually just scan the list for the cheapest bottle!!<br /><br />Justin: You are too nice, and don't worry about not having more pics of me, it's quite alright. I'm actually really awkward in photos, I never quite know if I should pose, or act 'natural'. I probably would have just creeped you out! Your photos were sooo great by the way!<br /><br />The rest of you: I totally wish I would have met you all and we could have been awkward buds together! Next year fo sho!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012685931843261640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706389922010724345.post-30244293684450458422012-01-31T11:53:07.162-06:002012-01-31T11:53:07.162-06:00No wonder you're my best friend...

That was sooo lovely!<br /><br />Extroverted introvert here too - you weren't the ONLY one standing around watching all the amazing, well spoken, chatty, charming people. I too forced myself to speak to people. And then came home with extra biz cards and wondered why I didn't speak to more people!<br /><br />Sorry we didn't run into each other - we could have commiserated! And cheered each other on...<br /><br />Next year, right?!!!Sandrahttp://raincoastcottage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706389922010724345.post-20325387608083206892012-01-30T21:21:08.277-06:002012-01-30T21:21:08.277-06:00Oh, boy.

I went to the Squam art workshops in New Hampshire a few years ago and felt exactly the same way. i cried a lot during that trip! Keep writing. You are a funny gal, and I like it when you "get real." And kudos to you for ordering beer and steak. I'm with you. Wine and fish? Fuck that shit. Pardon my unladylike language :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093115457695116752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706389922010724345.post-11145461858842486532012-01-30T19:42:26.846-06:002012-01-30T19:42:26.846-06:00P.S.

Although I am also unconfortable in social situations (yes, I'm freelance as well) and I always find myself wondering why everybody else seems to have such passionate conversations but I don't, I don't have the talent to turn my experience in such an interesting post, funny and heart-warming at the same time. If you are an introvert, be prepared to get even more out of your comfort zone next year because I have the feeling this story will get you noticed! You will therefore see people go to you instead of you having to go to them (imagine that!) Good for you for finding the positive in the whole experience, and you are absolutely true: you are awesomely awkward and that's what makes you special. <br /><br />Will definitely keep on reading your blog and have a peek at your online store. Cheers - and I hope we meet next year.Marie (Food Nouveau)http://foodnouveau.comnoreply@blogger.com
