aw dang ;__;

I've actually wanted to check out the local meeting sometime, I think there's a chapter in Detroit, but I've never been...
You showed up. That makes you one step ahead of the curve. >.<)b
Give yourself a good pat on the back! You were strong.

There's a spider jar? Who has a spider jar? What, are they certifiable?

Haha, that's my metaphor for what it's like for me to do social things (especially with strangers)- being asked to stick your hand into a jar full of spiders.

My brain is super broken.
Ah, poor sooz! I'm glad you got some good arts done at least. That always makes me feel better~

Yeah, I wish there were some magical way to get known by just making a lot of stuff, because this networking thing is balls.

Yeah this seems cool that you'd go to these events. I thought the spider jar analogy was pretty brilliant, as was the one about balls. Because balls are funny because they're balls.

But yeah, good on you, Sooz.

I can't imagine trying to manage networking alongside actually making stuff, and it's so damn important, too, if you actually wanna make money or get noticed or whateva.

I always feel so damn shy when talking about my own stuff, too, until I'm actually releasing it anyway.
