Teach me to click aimlessly on LJ...

To person who won't even know it's about them, most likely: Dude. Not all about you. You're not that special. You're not that cute. You're not that important. I do not want to be your girlfriend. Right now, I don't even want to be your friend. Get over it, seriously. Take up pottery or something.

But now you are going to set off all of the paranoid people on LJ to think "Is she talking about me?" And the person you are really talking about will probably think, if he/she reads this at all, "Damn, I wonder what arrogant asshole she is talking about. I'm sure glad I'M not like that."

*giggle*

I have a bunch of pathetic paranoids reading me. It will do them good to freak out. Get their hearts pumping. Almost like exercise.

My usual disclaimer is "this is about no one on my friends list", but it can really be expanded in this case to "this is about no one who lists me as a 'friend'".

Hey, you're cute. I'm not talkin' about you here. :)

Okay fine, I get the point, I'll leave quietly...

*weeping*

;-)

Seriously, it creeps me out when people I don't have friended keeps reading me. It's one of the many reasons I keep my journal friends only. I can only imagine what it would be like for your with your incrediblely large friends list.

It stopped creeping me out a while ago.

It started creeping me out when someone I'd never met (on LJ or off) told me that they thought that they and I would be great friends because we're so much alike. That was just weird.

Makes sense. LJ does seem to create a false sense of intimacy. I've only ever met one person through LJ and she now is a good friend.

I've met a few. It's been fun. There are several people who I will meet in person whenever we get the chance, but even though I met them through LJ, I don't count them as LJ-only friends, because we exchange other forms of communication as well.

I definitely get that living-in-a-fishbowl feeling...

I am sorry, but you are wrong. It IS all about me. I am that special. Okay, I don't know about the cute part. But I am impotent....errrr Important.

But I've tried pottery and I suck at it.




It took hours to get all the clay off my teeth...

You're right, it's not about them, it's all about me.
