I'm also majorly skittish about meeting authors. I feel like such a dork when I meet someone whose work I admire - especially writers. I've only met a handful of authors before and all that was "required" interaction - they were college professors or they were guests and speakers at my various jobs. At my core I'm still a high school band dork with my nose stuck in a book in the back of the physics lab. Don't get me wrong, I'm not socially crippled, just a tad shy and awkward, so I'm a little nervous about meeting so many people (bloggers and authors) that I adore. That usually equals total spazz moment for me. I'm just betting that I'm not the only one attending who was a high school band dork with their nose stuck in a book who still feels like a total spazz sometimes.
