... I've been wondering why I haven't seen someone around lately. I thought they simply weren't around. I just discovered that they de-Friended me again, which makes it so I can't see their posts in their friends-only journal. **yawns.** And the cycle continues. If the person's reasons from the past are still the case, apparently I just don't post ( Read more... )

Newkirk officially gives his "Wot?" look at whoever that is who keeps friending/de-friending you.

I like that Amnesty Day policy they instated last year. ^^ I haven't used it yet, but I still think it's a good idea.

I probably should've asked this before, but what exactly is the Patty Duke show? Sitcom? Drama? Classic? New-ish? XD; Anyway, glad you're enjoying it and the Autor lookalike. ^^

In all the years I've known her, I've long ago come to the conclusion that she just doesn't grasp how rude it looks. But that doesn't stop me from feeling exasperated.

I think I've used it a couple of times.

It's more of a domestic comedy, made in 1963-1966. And a domestic comedy of course means deeper characters and plots than your average sitcom. Most episodes have some kind of moral, but it doesn't hit you over the head. It's always integrated very nicely.

Hmm, I think the de-friending-thing is certainly not meant to be rude. Maybe she is just very fastidious about her friends-list and doesn't want someone to see that you are on her list? Or just wants to have people there who always comment to her entries. De-friending you because she doesn't want to read your entries doesn't make sense since she could customize her friends-page so that your entries don't show up (or is it something only paid members have? *am not sure about that). De-friending somebody prevents them from reading your friends-only posts though. Maybe she doesn't want you to read posts which are too personal?

I tend to de-friend inactive journals (people who never post, never comment, and seemingly don't visit that account any more) because I'm paranoid about somebody misusing that account to read my friends-only entries which often contain personal things. I never got the idea that somebody could be offended over that, though, since it's not like breaking off a real friendship or so.

Well, see, I know this girl quite well and she told me herself in the past that the reason she de-Friended me the first time was because she didn't want to read my entries. And at the time, I was very active commenting on her stuff.

You're right, it isn't like terminating a real friendship, especially if it's being done for the reasons you did it. It's possible that that was her motive this time. This time around, however, she apparently also booted me from her IM list, so we have no way to communicate at all anymore. And after the long time we've known each other, it does discourage me a bit.

Uh, that's really not nice at all, especially if you've known each other for years (and you are obviously still posting and commenting). Strange girl. XD I don't think it has anything to do with you personally, though.

Yeah, I didn't like it one bit. XD; So I actually wasn't pulling ideas out of nowhere (which is what I gathered you thought I was doing from your first comment); I was basing my opinion on what I knew had been true in the past. This time around, it's true that we haven't really talked in some time and maybe she booted me everywhere for that reason.

I actually did read that it had happened more than one time with you. But I thought that she was just fidgeting (you know, procrastinating by editing stuff and playing around with LJ). It often happened to myself that I just played with things which I could have left alone just to procrastinate. Hence I thought it was just a misunderstanding between you. XD

She seems to be very concerned about her LJ, though, if she edits things like that. The time during which you two didn't talk might have felt like an eternity to her so that she just de-friended you. XD But it still looks kinda rude.

Yeah. I don't think she does stuff like that, though. She does stuff like delete all of her entries after a while because it's the past and she doesn't want to look at it, or something like that.

**nods.** I definitely think it's rude. XD;
