Despite the new button to the side, I am mostly ok with not going to BlogHer. Of course I'd love to meet Frema in the flesh and some of my other regular reads who will be in attendance. But I am very much anticipating seeing updated posts with pictures over the weekend from those who are there.
As I commented on Isabel's blog, my husband doesn't know how much this community has started to mean to me. (Heck, I don't think I've mentioned that I started a blog to him.) I hope that you don't care what I look like, if I'm having a bad hair month or six, if I've got cat and dog hair all over my clothes (insert other negative attributes here); as long you enjoy my writing, which I do try like hell to keep true to myself.
So maybe everyone doesn't care about my dog destroying things or that I'm struggling with even the appearance of fertility, and that's ok. My life isn't yours, and vice versa. This community has provided the opportunity to connect with other people to say hey this world isn't so big and bad after all. Maybe I'm not the only one out here who's felt this way.
Now where am I going with this and how the hell am I going to wrap it up? I guess the point is that I don't need to go to BlogHer to confirm that I am a blogger, and that I am part of the community. And if you think there might be a little sour grapes in there, then you just might be right.

I'm not going either, but I can't wait to see the pictures from other bloggers like Frema and Isabel. I agree with you too, going to Blogher does not validate one as a "real" blogger. This community that we are part of it awesome. I never knew that I could feel so close to some amazing women I've never even met.
ReplyDeleteyou're a bigger blogger than me- the photos and endless recaps make me hella jealous. but that's okay too, right? :)
