::Sigh:: I've been hit by 3 Drive-by LJ Friend-adders in the same amount of days. Is this a new trend? Ugh, I don't like sheep.
The first one was sorta fun, pretending to be ignorant and not have a grasp of the english language. I played around a bit, trying to make them say something other than their 2 line repertoire. They stopped replying to me, lol.
The second clearly only seeks to infuriate. They claim that they are picking randomly to actually make friends. Of course I don't believe this for a second. Someone who truly seeks friends, does so through common interests (and deletes people who are adamant about not wanting them as a friend).
The third is just plain sad. They have interests that range from Abraham Lincoln to Kurt Cobain to Pokemon, yet they can't be bothered to write one journal entry.
I find the concept - adding as many people as possible to an empty account, not paying an inch of attention to these 'new friends' journals, and yet refusing to take them off - such a waste of space. Someone must be (or will eventually be, in one form or another) paying for the space all those useless accounts and 'heated requests' are taking up on servers.
Update 01/28 - Another one added me, lmao, they're stealing eachother's friends. This one's hillarious though. He wants people to write him a 500 word essay on why he should unfriend them and, if they're convincing, he says he will, lol.
