+ I have got a sleeping sickness. I sleep and sleep and have naps in between and feel lazy-boned..

+ Because of sleeping during all spare time I haven’t watched/read much. I am getting through "A Feast for Crows", but very slowly – you know, I don’t mind getting old but my eyes are not as they used to be. Never mind, there are good things about getting older too..

+ I have a LJ crisis – over the last 10 month I have accumulated 3 or 4 LJ’s that I have added to my friends list and they didn’t add me back. I don’t have a problem with it at all – I mostly added these LJ’s to my friends list because there is something of interest to me in their contents, and they could not see anything in my LJ of interest to them, so this is totally cool.. The problem I just realise is that what if they would rather that I have deleted them from my friends list?? How can I know??? Even if they don’t say in their Userinfo?? I am in tortures of uncertainty?? Shall I go clean and remove them all from my friends list??

+ Veronica/Logan - O YES!!!! Kind umeedmerchant wrote in her comment that Jason Dohring is 24 years old and YES, that makes me feel better!! Only a little, the rest of my attraction to the very young Logan I put down to my inner-teen (soniag.:)

I also have sleeping sickness.

As to the friends issue. I have 73 people who have added me and I did not add them back. I don't have a problem with them adding me and wanting to read my public posts and I don't expect them to delete me just because I didn't add them. I think that most people should understand that while some journals are interactive, some are just for reading. Often when I add people I have no expectation that they will add me back, I just want to read what they have to say. I actually get more frustrated when people add me and get offended when I don't want to add them back.

I'm rambling but my theory is that if they have public content, presumably they don't mind if people add and read and unless they state in their user info that they would rather you didn't add them, then it's fine :) Just my 3 cents ;) Sorry if this makes no sense. I'm very sleepy. :)

Wakey-wakey!

I don't think you need to worry about friending those people. It seems to me that they wouldn't open themselves to friending if they felt uncomfortable with it.

I have got a sleeping sickness.

I know how this is. And I think it's normal since you just finished up a great mound of stressful stuff. Your body needs to recuperate.

But I also know that one summer, when everything in my life was going wrong, and I found myself sleeping all day and staring at the ceiling and obsessing all night, that I was truly depressed. I really don't think this is what is going on with you, but at the same time I do hope you will take good care of yourself.

Do I sound like an alarmist? I don't mean to.

Oh, don't get me started on the LJ friending crisis. I am an absolute nutter on this issue. I wish I wasn't this way, but I do take it personally when people don't friend me back. I panic about being a boring, worthless person. It's ridiculous. I usually wait a week, and if they don't friend me I unfriend them.

And even with my mutual friends I often find myself wondering, "does this person secretly wish that I would defriend them?" And I have moments of panic where I decide that I'm going to do a massive purge of my friend list so as to relieve people of the burden of my presence.

It's sad really. I was comforted to read your post because I have LOTS of anxiety about this.

Oh, I finally saw the VM episode you referenced in a previous comment -- the one where Veronica is in Logan's bedroom and he's wearing the too large towel. Yay! My favorite part, however, was earlier when Logan made that remark during the business club meeting ("You should have plugged her right the first time," or something to that effect), and Duncan went nuts on him. I loved the jealousy over Veronica, but I mostly admired Logan for basically saying "You abandoned me" to Duncan. For all his immature pranks, Logan is pretty in touch with his emotions, isn't he?

I think if the people you friended really mind you reading their posts, they'd either email or somehow ask you to remove them. I've seen it before. So I gather they don't care if you read their public posts. :)

Hope you feel the need for less sleep soon.

EEEk I hope we don't have to remove folks we read just cause they find us less than interesting ::grin::

There's several folks I read who probably never notice my LJ and haven't added me. Some add me later. Perhaps they noticed my name or something. If we're supposed to only read who knocks on our LJ door Golly, I'd never have met YOU - or gee, most everyone. I amble about and read whole journals sometimes over a couple days when I'm On Hold forevah. There are many strange folks out there but there are Way More Groovy ones.

I'd just enjoy and if someone wants you to shuffle away, they'll tell you

I don't want to sleep, now that I'm starting to feel better! I want to be active!

Re: your LJ crisis and the friending - I feel your torment! Sometimes, even when mutual friends say something about feeling awkward about friending, I think it must be about me, even though logically, they wouldn't let me see that post if I was the person in question, but I still get all anxious for a bit! Hee. Then I remember that it's not All About Me.

I really think that if these people had a problem with being friended by you (though why would they??), they'd lock posts. If you enjoy reading their posts and they're public, I'd keep them.

+ I have got a sleeping sickness. I sleep and sleep and have naps in between and feel lazy-boned..
I can totally relate to that! But my antihistamine is to blame! It makes me totally drowsy! So now whenever I watch a dvd and end up nodding off on the couch and missing the whole movie/episode! Waaaah! I even nodded off while watching Kobol's Last Gleaming the other day...

About the LJ crisis, I thing most people have already answer. I don't friend everyone who friend me uless we share interested and I find them interesting... equally, I don't feel offended if someone I have friended does not friend me back :D

Veronica/Logan EEEEEEE! They are so Epic, and Jason Dohring and Kristen Bell are so believable in the portrayal of their characters!! She is so fabulous! I loved her since I saw her incredible performance in a couple of Deadwood episodes, a character quite different from Veronica.

Darling, I hope my post from yesterday didn’t precipitate any kind of friending/not-friending anxiety... There’s only ONE person ever in the history of my LJ whom I just wished would not even have me on her friends’ list, and I’ve had this journal for nearly four years, so I should just say that I was very, very, very sorely tried and that is the reason I wanted her to just please go away... but I cannot imagine that anyone would feel that way about you!

As for not friending people back, well, obviously I have you friended, but when people friend me, I go to their journals and read some of their entries for a while and I try to feel out whether we have more than just one single interest in common – as you know, I kind of flit from interest to interest, and nearly all my fandom posts are pretty public anyway, so I don’t like to friend people based on a passing interest in something-or-other only to deal with the potential drama of unfriending, because some people take it very personally... I dunno – I suppose there’s no really nice way to deal with it at all, right? Heh!

I know how you feel about the lazy. I feel the same way sometimes.

I don't think it's necessary to friend those people back. When someone friends me I don't always friend them back. I go look at their journal. If they don't write in it, or write in another language, or if they don't have any of the same interests as me I don't friend them back.

Sometimes I friend people because they write interesting posts. And they don't necessarily have the same interests as me even. And I don't feel bad if they don't friend me back.

Actually I rarely look at my friends list. Every once in a while I will look at it and realize there are some new people there.

I think I would be hurt if someone I like unfriended me. But I don't think I would say anything.

I'm babbling now. :)
