And then be embarrassed. And THEN pray they thought me endearing instead of cray-town.<br /><br />Anyway, I can't wait to go to a signing with.

I STILL get awkward when meeting authors, and it's even worse when they're authors I really admire. I usually end up babbling about their book or what it's done for me or what I loved about it, and most of the time they thank me. Other times, (like with Siobhan Vivian & Jodi Meadows), they actually know me from Twitter - which is freaking awesome!<br /><br />In general, I mostly just go with the flow and try to say what comes naturally to my mouth. 9 out of 10 times, it's an awkward, babbling mess... but sometimes, it's pretty darn golden :)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-61276368002909862382013-02-09T20:48:51.696-05:002013-02-09T20:48:51.696-05:00I'm telling you, the buddy system is THE WAY t...I'm telling you, the buddy system is THE WAY to go!

Hopefully that will change soon though. However i am so shy when i first meet people that i would probably stare blankly at them whilst muttering incomprihensibly. Hopefully if i ever get to go to a signing someone else we be with me and they can do all the talking so i dont seem like a wierdo :PLaura @Bookish Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795454043499755702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-24567790625426247242013-02-08T12:05:43.640-05:002013-02-08T12:05:43.640-05:00Can I just say, this post?

Faye is the name and oh, look, DAPHNE - TALK!"<br /><br />Bahaha.<br /><br />I hope it's gets easier but when there's only two-three minutes of talking involved it's just like hi-yeah-love-bye! *runs away screaming* lol.<br /><br />Maybe one day I will be able to not be so awkward... maybe... but um... doubt it?Faye (Daydreaming_Star)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06492031772343256845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245378071915174733.post-8152927559834714692013-02-08T12:01:29.481-05:002013-02-08T12:01:29.481-05:00When I met Walter Dean Myers, I kept telling him h...When I met Walter Dean Myers, I kept telling him how awesome and amazing he is and that I love his books.

On Tuesday, I was sitting next to Veronica Rossi and across from Tahereh Mafi at dinner, with Cynthia Hand and Brodi Ashton also nearby, and I said very little.
