I would love to awkwardly walk up to you and force you to talk to me because OH MY GOSH IT'S HEATHER! OK, so I wish Austin was closer to Dallas but you are probably just fine with the 200 miles between the two. Enjoy the city, though. It's lovely. There's a coffee shop near Lake Travis called Mozarts and it always makes me smile. And a restaurant named Shady Grove that is fantastic too. I so wish Austin was closer to me.

But I feel you. Networking and schmoozing is part of my JOB, ferchrissakes. Oh, and I haaaate it. I'd be the girl in the corner busily pressing buttons on her cell phone like she's texting someone very important so that she doesn't have to make eye contact with people she doesn't know who might (gasp) TALK to her. AND, if I know one or two people, I'm mostly cool, except then I feel guilty and apologetic for attaching myself to them, limpet-like. Oh, barf. Of course, if there are so many of us like that... why isn't it easier? Maybe I need to go to a blogger party instead of these professional schmoozer parties. I’m a lurker, too.

If I was so inclined I would even spit back your own words to you...because even you admitted that you made really freaking good arm candy. Arm candy that could talk the talk and walk the walk with the likes of the head of Goldman Sachs. So there. Have fun.

I always come down with a case of the Socials at these big events. A little alone time and blammo! Socialsbegone! (And this time, I'm doing it sans booze. Egads!)

You can do it. I am the same. You may think I am a crazy extrovert, but it is simply not the case. Unless a margarita is involved. Have fun with Aimee! And the margarita. Dude. You can do it.
