Poo. :(

No one has added me to their friends list today. :(

Strange how addictive the human networking thing is... want to meet new people! Every day!

The day's not over yet. :-)

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

sometimes you gotta go out an meet them

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I'm shy!

I added a few people a few days ago who haven't added me back. :(

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

that does happen from time to time

i try not to sweat it... depending on the person I either take them back off or just leave them

(btw... useful tip... daoistraver)

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

never mind... already there I see.... :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Way ahead of you. :) Actually, he added me first - got him through bob_dot_com.

Yeah, I'll generally take them off if they don't add me back... I like reciprocation. And I'm a friend junkie. :)

I usually give people a week to add me back...then remove them if they don't add me. Yeah, it's silly and kinda petty, but it's a blow to my ego if I'm not friended in return. It makes me think, "geez, am I *that* lame that they don't want to add me back?" And what's up with the people who get offended if you add them? I don't understand that one at all. I'm flattered and touched when someone adds me.

That's one of the few things I dislike about LJ...all the friend's list angst/drama/politics. :P

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Oh, I feel the same way! I like it best when they add me first. Big ego boost - "oooh, this person stumbled across my writing and liked it!" But yeah, makes me feel lame to not get added back. :(

I've never had anyone get offended. I've had a few people just ignore my comments, and I just unfriend them when that happens...

Friends-list etiquette is weird. :)

I agree it is addicitive. But just think, you'll meet me in person at DragonCon. What more could you want? ;)

Prior to LJ I met new people like once a year, when the new post-docs appear. This is a feast for me. Drag me out of my hobbit physicist mode. (oh wait I mean hermit... LOTR is too deeply imbedded in my subconscious)

I just don't understand how you read the posts of that many people. I have trouble keeping up already. I don't dare add anymore just now.

P.S.

[astrophysicat.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and tell Ken he has to add me or I'll kick his ass...

Re: P.S.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Message delivered. :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yay! I get to meet you at DragonCon!

I'm able to read all of those posts for one main reason - work is slow. Work is really, really, really slow.

[ariadnesthread.livejournal.com]

Speaking of physicists, the Smithsonian Institution has several openings right now for astrophysicists. www.si.edu, go to Careers. Just thought I'd mention it in case you know anyone hunting for work. I thought of you immediately when I read the listings yesterday.

Cool that you're coming to D*C, too! Last year was very fun.

[mfree.livejournal.com]

Umm, if you replied back to the email I haven't recieved it yet...

Got AIM or ICQ? mfree54321 or 118051180

[mfree.livejournal.com]

what I meant to say was, sometimes my email server gets funky and I don't receive my messages. You may not be able to email me directly, but mfree@livejournal.com would probably get around that.

[dorei.livejournal.com]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I can remove you from my list and then add you again ...

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Hee! Nah, that's okay. :) How did you find me, anyway?

Re:

[dorei.livejournal.com]

The lovely search engine on livejournal; looking for people who consistently update their journal who have a number of similar interests. ;)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, I update pretty consistently. :)

[bob-dot-com.livejournal.com]

Say the word and I'll have the Bobettes add you.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nooo! Not...the Bobbettes!
