on friending
Since I started my current job I have put a lot more of my posts under lock-and-key (figuratively, of course) because I am pretty seriously terrified of anyone from work finding this journal. Understandable.
Every few months ago I have a flurry of 'friend'-ing; 5 or 6 people from other communities, friend me, (probably because I am a genius) and I get inspired a friend a few other people on whom I have had friend crushes, and I usually friend back the folks who friended me. I'm not too picky about that. How will we every get to know each other if I don't friend you?
Anyway, what's funny is that on occasion people think it would be a good idea to friend me, and then once they gain access to the friends-only portions they realize what I am really like and immediately defriend me. And I don't want to be all fussy and defriend them too right away, and to be honest the whole thing makes me dizzy. So new friends, and potential friends, hear this: just give me a shot, OK? Seriously, the whole thing makes me dizzy. all this adding and dropping and adding and dropping..it makes me crazy.
