I guess I'm just a walking contradiction. My bad.
This weekend was very, very relaxed and equally appreciated because it was my first free one since filming started last month. Doing nothing never felt so good. But last night, I did do something. And it was most definitely the highlight of my weekend.
Who: Katelin, Tara, Michelle, Allison, Andrea, Kerri, Matt (le fiancee de Katelin) and myself
What: Girls' Night (plus Matt) consisting of wine, cheese (and a kick ass cheese slicer), brownies,
Where: Katelin and Matt's adorable little place
When: Last night
Why: Because we can
There were 3 girls I'd never met before that I met last night. The funny thing about meeting bloggers for the first time in person is that, well, you kind of feel like you already know them and in a way? You already do. I knew that Tara was a social butterfly who attended really amazing events and interviewed just as amazing celebrities at said events. I knew that Kerry was an incredibly crafty (and I mean the good kind of crafty) girl who didn't have to put on a stitch of makeup to look good. As for Allison? Well, she's my name twin and we knew nothing about each other until we shook hands. Hi Allison, you crack me up.
My point is, I find meeting bloggers to be a very special experience, one that non-bloggers find hard to understand. "Oh, you and your blogging," some of my friends will say to me when I mention it to them (and I do...I do a lot).
Yes, that's right. Me and my blogging. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Very cool! I want to meet some blog friends!
Ok those girls sound/look way cool! I hope I'm half as exciting tomorrow ;-) Yay for bloggy dates! XOXO

So great to finally meet you. Sorry for all the teasing ;)
I HATE it when my friend's dismiss my blog like that too, especially when it means so much to me and allows me to meet amazing people like all of you. I left the party feeling that it was great to meet more people who feel the same way and get it, always important.
Ohhh I so agree and so glad that we met through our blog lands too! This looks like such a fun group of people, I'm so glad that you had a nice time! :) So two bloggy events in one week = double bliss for Ali! :) OH and I totally understand about the blog comments, "You and your blog!" I always get funny looks when I say I am meeting a blog friend. Lol they are the ones missing out!
Agreed! Plus, if there was no blogging, we wouldn't be friends. So, drinks?
I've never met any of my fellow bloggers but I bet it would be so fun! awesome post.
um heart this post like wo. and you summed it all up perfectly, i don't know where i'd be without blogging and it's just fun to be with other people that get it, haha. also, heart your face sniglets partner.
"accidental ironing"
the end. we win.
How fun!! Bloggers unite! :)
I've been so thrilled with the bloggy meetups that I've had...especially the ones that have blossomed into real life friendships!
awww. im cheesy but this gave me chills/warm fuzzies. So true about knowing each other before you meet - I always talk about my friend so and so but really I mean someone whos blog I read
How Fun! I'm jealous! I haven't actually met any bloggers yet, but I have a whole list of them to meet this summer... I can't wait!
Speaking of which, I'll be in SoCal over Memorial weekend if you wanna try to get together!
