Careful

[talktooloose]

I sometimes suspect that I don't really know what it means to be a friend; that instead I'm just so needy that I will present whatever face you need to see to make you like me.

And if I ever misjudge that, god help me.

It is possible that I'm a hollow entity and that if you call my bluff, I will deflate.

I appreciate your definition of LJ as a cocktail party. That tells me a lot, and has given me something to think about.

My use of LJ is much different from yours. A lot of the things that I write here are things that I can't share with my real-time family and friends. My LJ friends can comment or take it with a grain of salt as they please. For the most part, we added each other simultaneously, as an act of good will.

There are some other people on my LJ friends list who didn't friend me. In one case, I didn't ask (because of certain industry connections that he may have) and in another case, this particular person has not surfaced for years, but still has an undeleted journal. So it's hard for me to understand why you wouldn't, other than lack of interest. By your first paragraph, you noted a lack of interest in my LJ, which I can accept. And as you have a lack of interest in my LJ, then there is no reason why I should maintain interest in yours. I wish you well.
