So apparently it's a DW day, and will probably continue to be that way on my friends page for the next couple of days. Really though, are that many mirrors really necessary? Yes, of course they're appreciated, but after a while people don't need that many links

It's funny you should mention the DW mirror thing since I am uploading an iPod video mirror of tonight's episode as I type this. ;)

I totally get your hangups about friending people on LJ--I am the same way. Hell, I've been on here for over three years and I have only recently added a few new friends who aren't people I know in RL. Snail's pace? Yes, please.

We can be losers together.

[celestedeloeste]

NOOOOOOO! At least there are fewer of the iPod formats. I guess. (I still hate them all.) :)

Sweet. One of us! One of us! Oh my god that's why I don't have friends. :(

[specialj67]

Is it sad that I use that phrase, like, a lot?

[celestedeloeste]

Not at all, not at all (coming from me, who, let's face it, tends to do things to an extreme degree).

And your icon? PERFECT. On that subject- you got extra icons, right? Did you end up with 100 total, or 100-plus the number you had before?

[pleiades]

I was just going to post a friending meme because my f-list has seemed all empty lately. So I say yay.

I get to work at 7 and that's awful enough, so I really sympathize with you at 6. Yuck!

And I would loooove to see that list when you get it done!!

PS - the insane amount of DW mirrors is unnecessary.

[celestedeloeste]

Oh! I would totally do a meme on your journal! That would be a good way for me to test one out.

It's just funny because I'm the farthest from "morning person" a person can be. In fact, I'm nearly totally nocturnal. It's going to be interesting.

If I ever do get it done, it'll be right here.

Thank you. And the poor mod of the community... Glad I don't have that job.

Yep, it's definitely a DW day. Actually, there was a kind of "scare" 'cause they thought the football game might go into overtime which would thus postpone the episode "Gridlock" (hahah! the irony makes me laugh) for a week. But thankfully, it wasn't. :o)

And yeah, the amount of mirrors on that community is quite insane...and not so necessary. I could see if the links were expiring and they were re-uploading, but that's not really the case. Oh well.

I've done the Friending meme once. It wasn't bad. Granted, I don't like talk to the two people I friended all the time, but I do comment every so often (and it's nice to have the new people on my list that just seem to get me). But yeah, the friending meme is weird. I have a big fear of rejection...hence why I've only done it once.

YES. That's awesome. But they would delay the show a whole week? Not just... push back the schedule a few minutes? That's weird. What if the overtime went shorter than DW would have aired? Would they just show fifteen minutes of commercials? (Also, I don't know how soccer works, so I have no clue how their overtime goes.)

In a way, it's kind of sweet that people feel the need to upload and return the favor, but in another way it's just kind of annoying. But if I really hated it, I would take the community off the friends page, and I haven't. So apparently it doesn't bother me too much.

Still, it's something that sounds like it would be nice to do. Aww. Was it for a fandom/interest, or just a general one?

[chale]

Yeah, they said they would push the show back till the next week 'cause if they aired it after the overtime, it'd be too late. It'd be Post-Watershed ...and then the kids couldn't see it (since the Watershed is the marker for child-friendly/adult shows).

It is kind of annoying...but like you said, if I minded I would have taken the comm off my friendspage. It's okay for me. Just gotta hit the back button a few times. :oP

It was kinda fun to do. It was a fandom/interest that made me say "hey! let's be friends!" Actually, it was Doctor Who and Firefly. heheh. I'm such a geek. :oP

[celestedeloeste]

I always forget that it's supposed to be for kids. Kind of like with HP. Hm.

I could go for a meme like that one. I guess my only issue is that a lot of the time I'm not sufficiently active in the fandom to feel like I qualify to participate in the fandom-specific ones.

Geeks are the most interesting people (along with dorks).

I sometimes participate in friending memes. I commented on one this morning although I haven't done any for ages because I was quite happy with the size of my flist. Usually I will pick through and ask people to friend me who I think I'd get on well with. Once I did post my own information, and I found a lot of really great new friends but also some that I weren't sure why they friended me, but felt like I couldn't say no thank you. So.

[celestedeloeste]

That sounds like the way to do it. Though I wouldn't have the guts to comment on other peoples' posts- I would have to stick to making my own and seeing what happened.

[vintagejoy]

God. I just saw how awful my grammar was in that comment. I can't even begin to ammend it. I'm so sorry!

[celestedeloeste]

Ha! Don't worry, my response was also less than perfect. :)
