when i found out that there was such an event, i immediately talked to my friend Juni about attending next year (that girl didn't want to miss her family reunion in HAWAII to go this year...i don't know what is the matter with her, lol). anyway, we made a "pact", not in blood or anything, but we were going. what was funny is that she immediately said, "let's go" and then afterwards asked what it was. that is just how SHE rolls.
then, a day ago, i found out that next year's will be in NYC....what could be better. one of my favorite cities, on top of the fact that juni is in NJ. perfect
i'll say that i have read many more not so good reviews than good ones. now, i'm not saying that i'm going to base my entire going/not going on these....but they are something to think about. especially since, some of them touched on some things that i was already worried about. the inevidible cliquiness of the event, the sorority like aura...it just freaked me out. i thought maybe it was just me, and my penchant for avoiding big gigantic groups of women...since birth. but, after reading some of these reviews, i find myself in the company of many other women as well.
i will say that there was one observation that threw me for a loop, but after thinking about it, absolutely makes sense. that even if you LOVE someone in their blog...you may not like them in person. and in fact, how this is more likely to happen, than you loving them.
then, i realized how lucky i was with my juni. we became fast friends... i wrote to her when she was changing her blog to private, so that i could get my very own password...along with a question on how to post pictures (now THAT is funny). she helped me through a very hard time in my life and on top of it, because we share the same culture, she "got" me, in all of these times. we met, and she was the same as she was always...it really couldn't have been any better.
