(no subject)
Me: Thirty something, dog groomer, artist, writer, procrastinator, ranter, fangirl, asocial introvert. I like Lord of the Rings. Lots of my ramblings are about it and anything halfway related to it. Really. Yes, still, ten years on. I am the only fangirl still wildly obsessed with it and little else, apparently. Sometimes I talk about work or stupid people or the occasional tv show. Sometimes I post artwork, but not much these days.
So here's the thing. This is my personal journal, which has been totally locked down for years now. When people add me and say nothing, I immediately go on an Epic Quest to figure out who the hell you are and why on earth you're interested in my mediocre real life. If I come to the conclusion that we don't have so much as an LJ community or even a friend of a friend in common, I will be creeped out by your randomness. So, you know, talk to me. I'm paranoid. And I will pretty much never add back unless I have interacted with you in some way or another. Which makes you adding me useless. So interact. Tell me why you're interested.
If I add you, usually I'll comment occasionally, but mostly read and lurk. I suck like that. You're welcome to do the same after I decide if I want you in my personal bubble. If I don't add you, don't take it personally. The part where I'm not social and paranoid applies. Or I just don't think you need insight into my daily ramblings.
I also take people off my list whenever I feel like it, mostly because we no longer have anything in common or you don't use your journal or you do use your journal but as nothing more than a twitter dump or you use your journal waaaaay too much and it sort of annoys me. If I remove you and you are emo about it, let me know you still want to be around. Please don't get offended if I don't, though. People change. I'm usually the one who stays the same.
