The Obligatory BlogHer Post

by Maria on July 3, 2009

in Self, blogging

So, BlogHer ‘09 is three weeks away. I’m excited. Super excited. Waayyy too excited.

Last year was so much fun, and there’s something amazing about actually being able to hug and poke and prod these people that you call your friends but you’ve never met in real life before.

There are so many people that I’m excited to meet that didn’t come last year. I won’t name them, because I’ll forget someone. There are so many people that I met last year that I can’t wait to see again.

If it’s your first time, don’t be nervous. Nothing to be nervous about. You’ll have a blast. Unless you allow someone else to make that not happen. So don’t.

This is what I look like, in case you don’t know. Just so you’ll recognize me when you see me:

Borrreeddddddd.

If you’re not going, and you’d like me to carry you around on a stick like I did for some folks last year (many of whom will be here this year!) send an email with your photo attached to maria @ immoralmatriarch.com.

So, you going? You as excited as I am? Any worries or concerns?

I can’t wait to hug and prod and poke you, Maria!!

I’m a little anxious, but not nervous. I thrive on interaction, so this is right up my alley!

I admit I’m a little nervous. Questions? One thing I have been wondering is if I should bring my Nikon D70 or just my CoolPix. Will lugging the D70 be more of a hassle than its worth?

I can’t wait to see you there! Virtual ((Hug)) for now.

Nervous? Kinda, but I am relying on my roomie and the folks I know to keep me balanced after one to many.

I know someofus, *pointing my finger at you* don’t get drunk.

This gal isn’t one of ‘em.

I would totally let you carry me on a stick (does that sound dirty? I think that sounds dirty.). I am, however, the least photogenic person in the world. I don’t even look like me in pictures. I don’t know what it is. I wish I was going though! I think it’d be a good time.

I’m sad not to be going this year. I hope you have a great time!

I don’t know which I would prefer… being poked and prodded by you or carried around on a stick…hmmm- LOL- Have a great time- wish I could go- but might not make too much sense for me to go since I haven’t posted since Halloween!

I wish I was going. I should have went when it was closer to me but I missed that boat. Just tell people I’m the next best thing to television for me. Okay? Thanks!

I’m super excited. Can’t wait to meet you, can’t wait to meet everyone!

I’m excited, too! Though I realized that my lack of proper shoes is becoming obvious right now. I have, um, sandals? I’m usually barefoot! I’m thinking that that doesn’t fly in Chicago hotels…

OMG you look just like the girls in that last pic. Or should I say, the girls look just like YOU!

Now I really wish I would’ve just forked over the damned money for the conference part. I will have to live with eeking out some of your hours for dinner or drinks or something.

I’m knew to this whole blogging universe and learned about Blog Her and the conference way too late. Maybe next year. Have a great time!! :)

I’m afraid that no one will know who I am – because most of my friends are not “into” the BlogHer thing. And I’m afraid that the ones who do know me won’t talk to me because they’ll be too busy chatting with everyone else.

Yes. I’m a dork.
