Friending and Non-friending

A little information on those who've put me on their friends list and wonder and/or complain about why I do not recripocate. There are a few reasons for this:

1.) I don't bother updating my friends list for ages at a time. There are people still not on my friends list who friended me over a year ago. Don't complain about being in that select group for only a few months.

2.) If I do not know who you are by your LJ handle, the chances I'm going to friend you are slim to nil. If you think you fall in that category, tell me who you are. I'm not going to sift through everyone's journal to see if I can figure out where I know you from.

3.) This isn't a popularity contest for me. I don't compete to see how many people will friend me. Not to be rude, but just because you wish to read what I post does not mean I think likewise. Just because we share a common interest in a community does not mean I wish to read about your daily life. Harsh? Sure, but I'm honest.

Yes, these reasons may make me seem like an asshole. Guess what? I am an asshole a lot of times. Deal with it.

BTW ... anyone here besides myself quite enjoy the taste of the Holiday Spice Pepsi?

Ze new Holiday spice is ok. I can't really taste too much of a difference, but I like it.

A-fucking-men. You're preaching to the choir over here though :)

I've heard the stories of "I friended you, why haven't you friended my yet?".

God I love his creative responses.

Yup. He is. I get that, too though. For a lot of people, a 'friends list' really is a popularity contest.

And hey! I know you! For the life of me I can't remember your real name, but I remember you from thecont.com :)

She's the current roomie. I chose her because she, unlike most, wears her insanity on her sleeve. I knew she was a raging nutjob going into this.

Basically she's the teenage daughter I never wanted :-)
