Hello to new friends [livejournal.com profile] beck4664 and [livejournal.com profile] ne (whose party I might go to tomorrow, if it's cool with [livejournal.com profile] yendi...?)!

I think [livejournal.com profile] mightywombat's right - my journal has reached critical mass. I have no idea why I'm being added so much - I think I'm pretty boring!

And every so often, when I look at that userinfo page and see how big those numbers are getting... well, it's kinda intimidating. On the one hand, it's a rush - "All of these people like what I have to say!" And on the other hand... "Whoa... *all* of these *people*..."

Heh.... wish I had that problem! I can't seem to reach the 100 mark...

I can pimp you out, if you'd like. :) Seriously, I think that the cascade effect begins after you hit 100.

I haven't seen journal-pimping actually work before, but it's still a kind offer. :)

Honestly I'm reluctant to add more people to my friends list, as reading through it already takes up a significant portion of my day...

Me too.

my journal has reached critical mass.

Toldjaso. :^) It's the Shadesong Effect(tm). Soon all of LiveJournal shall join, and you shall rule with an iron fist. Or pen. Or keyboard. Or something.

'song is a vortex. Like fandom, or SCA, or Amtgard, or tech support. Congrats, girl; not many people manage that. ^_^

There's many effects contributing at once. Highly non-linear.

reasons to add 'song
1) pure enjoyment of reading her posts
2) thought provoking (and feeling provoking) subject-matter
3) easiest place to meet other LJers
4) reliability of having something new to read with every "refresh" when playing refresh bunny. (You know you all do it!)
5) access to instantaneous net knowledge in 'song's replies to your own journal
6) best place to advertise yourself in comments to 'song's journal.
...

I'm sure there's at least 4 more, come on people, help out!

Have I mentioned lately how very much you rock? :)

You're locked in a closet, with 200 people watching you, stripped naked and forced to dance for their amusement. If you stop, your only punishment will be that they'll leave and go do something else.

Something very like that. Yes.

That's a delightful image that captures it beautifully.

Not!

Hmph. You're different. You added me after seeing me in a Naughty Schoolgirl ensemble.

No, I added you after meeting you in the (ever so lovely) flesh.
You ust happened to be wearing the schoolgirl outfit...
