Meeting Bloggers...

I first started blogging in May 2005....not knowing how it was gonna turn out. At first I was skeptical, it was daunting, yet exciting. Then came the time, where I regreted starting blogging because it kinda took over my life and could not do anything but do...say...sleep...sneeze...eat...sream...about blogging. What did I get myself into??? But now, it all simmered down. Blogging became a comfortable part of my daily life...my source of news, entertainment, research...yada yada yada.

The best part of blogging, is meeting some of the Kuwait Bloggers...some planned and intentional, and some total randomly! I met the most amazing, unique, special, and quirky people who happen to be bloggers. Granted I knew some before I started blogging, but it seems to get to know them in a different light through blogging. For example, some I've known for years (back to middle school and high school), some of them I met when I got back from college in 2002 and become very close with. I'm not mentioning any names...you know who you all are :) I met most...if not all...the bloggers from my links. You guys Rock!!!

So who did you meet? or Who do you wanna meet?....and why?

Judy Abbott: So far, all that I met have all been ups...and no down...No tensions. I believe..if bloggers already made up their mind on how they feel about other bloggers without meeting them, this can cause tension when they meet up :) Always have an open mind, and it will be ok.

Forzaq8: ulla...a threat?Dude...you do rock! Just becuase I dont have you on my list, does not mean you do not rock! It was a pleasure meeting you :)

misscosmokuwait: It was a pleasure meeting you too. Such a small world huh? :)

exzombie: Wow! You will need a ballroom to fit all of them. Maybe Nibaq should organize a Kuwaiti Blogger Convention :)

papillona: My pleasure :)

mark: Forza is a cool down and down to earth guy :)

tata botata: Yalla..coffee?

well.. i didnt even know the blogging world even existed before march.. a kuwaiti dude with me in uni showed me Q's blog and then formally introduced and guided me into creating one of my own since i was feeling frustrated that i was here instead of in kuwait when all the womens rights talk took place, not having a way to contribut something.. thx to my blog, i was able to voice myself and in a way be present at the march 7 rally through my mom.. and the rest is history :)

 
At 1:05 PM, Blogger Unknown said...

so to answer ur question.. LOL.. i met a blogger thru uni before knowing blogs existed and then got me hooked :)

 
At 1:27 PM, Blogger MiYaFuSHi said...

None and all. Why? The more the merrier as they say.

Oh apart from the ones that type in arabic. I have no clue what they are saying.

I did not meet any blogger, and I do not want to meet any blogger, they get on my nerves.

 
At 4:13 PM, Blogger Shurouq said...

Hmm..I'd like to meet Ayya (among others) to help me work on my nonexistent spiritual side.

Met you, Mr. they-get-on-my-nerves, Sheba, Nano, Shady, Zaydoun, SheWrites, Nibaq, Q, BoGhazi, Tata, Eva, Mama Fusla, Waterlilie, Amunki, Tooms, Stallion..
That covers it I think.

Abu 7afs.

 
At 4:48 PM, Blogger Purgatory said...

I deny meeting shurouq.

 
At 5:03 PM, Blogger Rampurple said...

I deny meeting any bloggers .... i never met anyone and would not want to meet any bloggers.

 
At 6:52 PM, Blogger Nooni said...

well true ..personally im open minded enough to meet other bloggers ...but the thing are they !?

 
At 9:35 PM, Blogger Shurouq said...

heh.. Denial!

In fact, people, I met most of them thru Purg and I can prove it.

 
At 10:07 PM, Blogger Rampurple said...

shurouq u lie! purg does not exist... he is a character i created. there is no purg.

 
At 10:37 PM, Blogger Jacqui said...

I seriously don't recall meeting anyone other than Sou (formerly known as Symbols), I know Swair, Zorath from outside the blogging sphere, I saw Tata once but didn't introduce myself. I guess that's all.

I'd like to meet, Rampurple (you know you want to meet me), and her puppet Purgatory, Shosho, Don, William, Nibaq, and ummm Tata, and I think that's it for now, I'm not sure though, my memory is hazy at the moment, need food!

 
At 10:52 PM, Blogger Tooomz said...

JC: "My name is Jazz Central & I'm a blogaholic." It doesn't simmer down until you start calling people by their NAMES again! *grins*

Shurouq we must gather again. That didn't count as a meeting!

 
At 11:21 PM, Blogger nibaq said...

I regret meeting you.
YOUR DEAD TO ME!

 
At 11:44 PM, Blogger Sou said...

So nobody wants to meet me?! *cries hysterically*

 
At 3:46 AM, Blogger Jelly Belly said...

Oh there are so many bloggers that I would love to meet...I just can't wait to be home and meet them :)

 
At 7:14 AM, Blogger Unknown said...

shurouq met my mom LOL :P

 
At 7:17 AM, Blogger Erzulie said...

Hmm...I thought about this before because I read Tata's posts concerning the whereabouts of blogger meetings and such. Being an introvert, I don't think I'll purposely meet a bunch of bloggers (ie strangers?) because I'll just sit there in my aloof, starry-eyed state. But to answer your question, I want to meet (ie observe?) the bloggers I comment on the most. For now, I think I'm just going to continue writing away into oblivion...

 
At 1:57 PM, Blogger Spontaneousnessity said...

hmmm weird I never had the thing thought of, I mean to me bloggers will never be more than bloggers! even the ones I know in reality don't behave the way they do in their blogs, me myself am me =} so I wouldn't want to change that =}

 
At 11:56 PM, Blogger Nunu-San said...

Well, I wanna meet TATA or shall I say 6a6a ;P

Why? Cz I wanna find the truth of "Maqoolat":
من كشته الناس حبته
;P

 
At 5:37 AM, Blogger Jelly Belly said...
