Great story Gwen =) I’m still slowing wallowing into the whole blog thing, so I’m probably more shy than you!

Now that the Thanksgiving madness is over, we should do tea one of these weekends . . . .

That is amazing..and I am soo jealous that I missed this..been reading her blog for ages and was also reading Glow in the Woods through her.

Am now sitting her pouting and feeling left out…

Good for you…and thank you for the mention…I too am social awkward and verrrry insecure (can you tell in this comment !!!!!) and I count you among my REAL friends now just so you know..even though we haven’t really done anything non bloggy.

I hope so too Gwen! That was just so amazing to see you. Although I feel like we didn’t talk enough – we spent too much time pointing and cracking up at the shock of seeing each other there!

Next time.

Feeling shy and not wanting to come off dumb stop me from commenting as much as I’d like too but I could not read this and lurk so I stumble over my words, typing and erasing and typing again.

I’ve met you twice and each time I wished that I’d come out of my shell more and taken the initiative to really talk to you.

Thank you for writing this!

It’s fantastic that you came out to these events, even though you felt incredibly shy. For what it’s worth, I would not know that you are shy unless I had read this post.

Also, for what it’s worth, I thoroughly enjoy your company, Gwen (yours and Anthony’s)

That was an awesome coincidence. I love the small world of the East Coast. .-= Carol´s last blog ..Can I come in? =-.

How great is that?! I also suffer from shyness and find it really difficult to meet people. In fact I've lived in Vancouver since I started college (15 years ago!! Yikes) and really have only managed to find (and keep) a handful of friends. Good on you for meeting up with these folks. I'd say you're doing better than me. .-= Marilyn (A Lot of Loves)´s last blog ..Sometimes You Have to Be the Adult =-.

That’s a cool story! Shyness can be such a taskmaster at times. Good on you for conquering your fear and finding an old friend!

don’t you just know it. As we get older we realize that the world really is a small place.

I’m glad that you met up with such a good friend from the past.

take care,

luv
