This week I just sat back and didn't push myself too hard. I used the excuse that I AT LEAST doubled up on challenges last week.
To start with, I headed to Comic Con. I've gone and admitted that I'm a total nerd/geek, which prompted last week's post on comics and my relatively newfound interest. I figure admitting I'm a nerd counts as a fear. Just like everyone, I always try to be the cool girl. But when I got over that, it's an enthusiastic group of people who like to play dress-up. I can get behind that! I didn't dress up this time, but I think next time it's a go!
On top of entering nerd world, I faced HUGE crowds. Ack! It makes my brain feel all muddled when I try to work my way through a crowd. And when it's a convention like Comic Con, no one knows where they're going or what they're doing. NO ONE. It's impossible to maintain personal space, or a sense of chill for that matter.
Yeah, it was worth it.
But wait! There's more!
One of the nights after the Con, we headed off into no man's land... ok, it was just east of downtown. Not the point. I decided I had waited long enough for the tattoo that I kinda wanted. No, it wasn't my first so it wasn't the tattoo itself that qualifies as the fear. Instead, it was the person who did it. I found the the artist using Google maps combined with its convenient location next to Panda Express.
Don't worry, I wasn't a total flake with something that is now permanently part of me. After the random location, I spent time reading reviews, browsing the portfolio, and talking out what I wanted.
So basically, facing my fears led to a weekend filled with greatness. The tattoo ended up being something I LOVE. And that was on top of spending 3 days hanging out, people watching, learning great info, and all kinds of fun stuff.
I would do it again, for sure.
