Last minute, i decided to go to Jae Ran's reading at Patrick's Cabaret last night. It would be my first opportunity to meet a real live blogger (besides my brother and sister-in-law...they don't count). I'm glad i went. Her reading was interesting and thoughtful. And it was odd to meet her. She looked so.....Korean, and didn't have an accent (ok, i know...this still strikes me as odd sometimes). It did give me a chance to finally purchase Outsiders Within, an important book about transracial adoption.
I was nervous to meet her and almost left without a trace, but she was gracious enough to talk to me and ask to hang out sometime. Which we will.
As i was telling my sister-in-law about it, i must have sounded like a 12 year old girl, because she said, "Did the popular girl like you?" Shut up.

I'm so glad that you came to the reading, but even more excited that you introduced yourself to me. I felt the same as I did when Mama Nabi and I ran into each other at an Indian restaurant - like some dork whose just been unrobed of her secret identity!! LOL!
seriously, I do hope you call. I'm not as scary IRL as I appear online *wink*
Oh, SO not fair! You make it sound like I was being mean! :)
Ha ha... and once I induce (no OB/GYN pun intended here) a real-life playdate between our tots, I can finally stop wondering if every Asian woman in scrubs is you. :-)
