you've summed it up nicely the way people act when
they meet someone new,  I enjoyed this piece.

I wonder what would happen if we really did have that bloggers ball

that used to be bandied around. Would people go to it would they really love to meet other blogit members.

I'm still shy in a way

I have to take time to warm up to people when I meet them in person.  When I use to collect autographs and meet "classic" stars I always got nervous and ended up saying something dumb.

Ariala

I was born cool, calm and collected, although I lost it a bit when I realized the doc was gonna smack me! I said to him, "Listen, if you're gonna hit me on the bum, I'm gonna rearrange your face!"

I love to meet new people

I've never been overly shy, even as a child. My sister and my mom are both very shy...introverts, kind of. I take after my dad, who would talk to strangers at the gas station for ever ,while we waited in the car, thinking hurry up...lol

I was a shy kid. At 15 got a job as a soda jerk/counter waitress

in a diner. I had to greet people, make small talk to make 'em feel welcome. It was great training. As a reporter assigned to write "day in the life" stories and interviews with interesting people, I learned to listen, probe gently, have no opinions -- amazing how people open up and tell great stories. The secret is to be interested in them, instead of focusing on the impression you're making.
