Gnomedex

Yes, I’m here at Gnomedex again this year. Having a pretty good time, although in groups like this I find myself being somewhat guarded, and my past definitely shows up large at times. It’s a bit weird having people come up and talk to you because they read one of your sites, or more, and know so much about me. I mean, I’m naturally shy so it’s nice in the sense that people will start conversations with me and we can talk without me being too terribly shy. On the other hand, it just shows me how much I don’t naturally trust people right off the bat because I find my self being somewhat guarded in talking with them. Each year I get a little bit better though, so that’s good!

I’m sure I’ll get more practice at it throughout today and this evening. I’m looking forward to it!
