It was time for a change...

Dec 17, 2004 11:32

Blurty is too slow, although I liked my friends list. My other LiveJournal account is becoming tiresome. So here's to yet another new journal. It shall be friends only, so comment to be added.

EDIT: Due to a slight case of paranoia, could anyone requesting an add please state why. Thank you :)

My journal has several recent posts you'll be able to access now. May I add you as well?

Your comment in my journal leads me to believe that you are also a para, no?

Hello :)

Yes yes, add away. You're right. I'm T4/T5 incomplete. It was great to read your journal - I read practically every entry! (by the way, just let me know if you'd like me to delete what I quoted in my journal).

laurielou862 January 8 2005, 21:53:04 UTC

No, I'm flattered, thanks.

add me? katweed January 26 2005, 21:20:05 UTC

Could you add me to your friends list? I am new to livejournal and trying to figure this all out. My husband is a wheelchair-user and I have been trying to find journals that may increase my understanding of his experience with life. Thanks.

Of course, but I must ask;

"I have been trying to find journals that may increase my understanding of his experience with life."

Do you have some form of sixth sense...or perhaps you're on laurielou862's friends list? I can't figure out how you knew, that's all...

I saw your reply in gotscoliosis, decided to look at your profile, and felt compelled to add you as a friend. So I did. Hope you don't mind. :)

:D Finally, I am added by someone...

Just added you, too.

Hey there, I'm a total stranger, but is it okay if I add you? I think I discovered your lj via the essex community majiggy. You seem cool, and my livejournal isn't *too* bad either. :) x

Just added you =)

there you went.

Re: erin c. i be. taste_of_fate March 11 2005, 13:01:04 UTC

I did add you, but then decided it best not to. Thought perhaps we could get to know eachother a little bit, if only through journal entries, but seeing as though that is not the nature of your new journal then I suppose that wouldn't happen.
Good idea though, to have a scrapbook-type thing.
Take care :)

Hey, I just wanted to clear something up,

I think you got the wrong end of the stick, or read into what I said too much. I wouldn't have thought of adding you at all, until you added me. This is due to how I feel about what I write. I consider most of the content to be personal and I'd not disclose it to people I know - that's just where my life is at the moment. However, when I saw that you'd added me, I figured why not - if you're willing to be open with me then I will be too. Upon seeing your first few entries, I didn't mean that I had no interest in your journal, only that I felt somewhat vunerable? I include lyrics and whatnot also, yet there's quite a difference between typing out lyrics and speaking openly about a personal aspect of your life, I feel. So yeah, when I went to look at your journal, it seemed like I needed to explain what I meant more thoroughly.
I also do not understand what you mean when you say it's unfair?
Anyway, hope this clears it up,
Take care.

Re: erin c. i be. carbon_unmade March 12 2005, 14:57:51 UTC

i meant exactly what you just said. what i got from you was that you wouldn't put me on your friends list to read your journal because you would feel like your feelings were exposed and mine weren't because my journal wasn't in my own words. however, you seemed to forget that i still had a blurty journal which was quite personal and which i was beginning to be inspired to update more often.
in the end, i decided that since you didn't feel comfortable sharing your private thoughts with me, then i'd respect it on both ends and not put our interaction on that level at all, which is why i put my journals on friends only. this way there's no question of feeling weird about one person reading deeply into the other's life while the other does not. it's the same on both sides.
