no fan mail for me

having an attack of the lonelies.

i'm envious. i just went to the diary of one of my faves on open diary,and she gets tons of notes, and meets tons of her fellow diarists. oh,and has friends too. not that she doesnt deserve it,but i think i do too.

meanwhile,though i'm not entirely friendless, i don't have any hang-around-with friends. and i guess i'm not interesting enough to get lots of notes or comments. the strange thing,and i guess i must be deluded,is that i think i'm interesting,but maybe i'm only interesting to myself!

yeah,i'm having a big ole pity party.
and i've started out the year by losing something that was one of the highlights of my silly little life,and i'm not going to say any more about that.

i don't want to be a rock star (or in my case,a journal star [?!!!]), i just want to have a cult following.

how appropriate. nirvana just came on the radio. guess i'll go and eat some worms.

ha.

Okay, consider me your Official Groupie ^TM.

For a small fee (and expenses) I could also be your official stalker, but at my age that borders on the creepy.

boy,i sure do get 'needy' sometimes,but not so needy i need a stalker! i think they're creepy at any age. but,hey,having a groupie sounds good to me.
woohoo!
good thing you trademarked yourself too. one can never be too careful in financial transactions. speaking of which,can i have my receipt?

oy,i'm slap happy. long day...
thanks for your morale support!

Hi, you're on my friends' friends list so I was checking your LJ out today. I think one of the best ways to meet people on here is to add people and comment on them and then drop the ones who don't comment back. There are people on here who for whatever reason (usually lack of time, they tend to be the folks with a 350-person friends list) don't comment much on other people's LJs, so adding them doesn't do much for one's interaction unless you talk to them somewhere else like AIM or in person.

I'm at the point where I'll add people and if I don't know them from someplace else, I'll give them a trial run for a few months and see if they interact. If they're not interactive and I don't have some other reason to read their LJ (some people have really neat LJs that I just like to read even if they never talk) I'll drop them off my list and keep only the people who talk back at least sometimes. that works pretty well for me.

hi. thanks for your notes and your thoughts.i read the 'instructions' on your user page and it's interesting how you've set up a system for yourself. i think part of my problem is that i tend to be scattered. i get bored easily and don't always focus. some people call it a.d.d. it's got its good and bad aspects. in any event,i've been thinking i need to be more consistent in commenting and reading a core bunch of folks even if i go skittering off on other tangents at times. for that connection,you know. you're right about those aspects of interacting.

i love your slinky icon and your name-our lady of perpetual exasperation!

thanks again.
