I suck at blogging

Obviously, since this is my fourth post since it’s inception.  I also suck at shmoozing and self promotion.  I really tried tonight.  I accepted a request at Pecha Kucha tonight which happened to coincide with the Hawaii Craftsmen Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition, I had my postcards, ready to hand out, even had a pen to right down any pertinent information. Once the exhibition opened, I made one round, shook hands, smiled for pictures, answered and asked superficial questions, and then I was done.  While everyone carefully positioned themselves near their piece, (but not too close) I slipped out and away from the fanfare and came up with the convenient excuse to pick up Gen.  Upon reluctant return, I reverted to typical wall flower form.  hid in the fringes, surrounded myself with the comfort of friends, and spoke of things unrelated to anything art.

I loathe these things.  I don’t know how to stand.  I don’t know what to say.  I can’t remember people’s names. (especially the important, need to know ones)  I am totally the tattoo on my shoulder,  (Yes, I have one, been there for 15 years) a fish out of water. (yes, I did just say it’s of a fish out of water)

It’s okay though, I’m okay with all of this.
