If I ADDed You, and it Seemed Random

[detroitfather]

I have had a pretty "fixed" Friends List on LJ for several years.

Quite a few of those LJ Friends have stopped posting. So, I have added some more folks who looked interesting. I tried not to be totally random, but if I Added you, and you find that we have nothing in common, please accept my apologies.

I'm not trying to stalk anyone.

I look forward to getting to read your words-I tend to write a lot-sometimes people drop me off their friends list because I write a lot-also I do write about what is listed in my personal information-I personally find it odd that people do not write about what they have listed as their interests-well thanks for adding me to your friends list-peace

That is an interesting point.

Probably about 50% of my posts have little or nothing to do with my Interests, as listed on LJ. I suppose I view that as a list of things I would prefer to spend my time thinking about. But then life steps in, with other ideas, and I end up posting about those instead.

I suppose what I am seeking to communicate is that I write as a Christian-but I do not seek to preach in my blog-but I do write about the things mentioned in my list of interests-I have found over the years there are people who claim to be Christians but they never write about such things as the Bible, Theology, the Christian life, death etc. . . I tend to write what ever is going on in my life from one day to the next-I just want to be honest-some folks might find my constant emphasis on Christian realities boring and soon they drop me from their friends list-I do hear what you are saying that it is hard to find time to pursue all ones interests-we are always changing and new things come into our lives-peace

I have the same thing going on with my f-list. I'm busy enough that I don't feel like I have the energy to post, but I wonder if a more active f-list would encourage me to write more. Adding semi-random friends is an interesting strategy... I'm curious how well this will work for you.
