on our way back home

_ I like the fact that I have written nothing of substance today. And for the most part, I stayed off of AIM. And I got made fun of in front of Victor's with Josh & Matt & Matt and had an all around good time. They even laughed when I pretended to storm off to my car

I cared as well, because your livejournal is one of the only ones I really look forward to reading everyday. I didn't want to miss anything, and I thought it was just me that you took off, but I guess I can assume differently now.

But no matter.

take it up with you-know-who.
i'm taken, babe.

"he says he's going to make a shirt that says "my girlfriend got a 1500" and he's gonna make me one that says "i'm with stupid." lovely."

that is so awesome. if you guys do that, send me a picture.

[tarantelle]

Just so you know: I don't really care that you took me off. I mean, yes, I enjoyed reading all your entries and I still enjoy reading the nonfriends ones. But, as I don't actually know you and I'm not actually your friend, it doesn't really bother me that you took me off your friends list.

Don't let these people who are whining get to you. It's your Livejournal and you can have whoever the hell you want on your friends list. People are just feeling rejected and well, that's lame of them because they need to realize that this is the internet - it's not REAL.

ok - how is this NOT real? i am writing. right now, right here. i am reading. nothing is virtual about interaction, granted that it may be estranged across fiberoptics, and what not - but the fact remains: peoples emotions are real, their writing is real, and our reactions themselves are real as well.

i don't think anyone was WHINING -- there is something genuine about a crushed ego -- as insignificant as the case may be -- and that, i believe, is real.

however, i don't think it's right to play this push/pull bullshit game through livejournal. i mean, whatever -- she obviously decided to remove certain people for whatever reason, so be it. i regret anything i said that might've swayed her otherwise. but you are right, it is stupid to get bent out of shape over a 'friends' list -- when that's what it is, a friends list.

I'm sorry, I think I was a bit more harsh with my wording than I meant to be. I do understand that people got their feelings hurt, but I guess my point of view has always been that this little internet world isn't really real - these people don't know you and you don't know them so however you feel about each other should be inconsequential.

I guess I just think that you shouldn't feel bad if you get "rejected" or whatever online because it just doesn't seem like interaction through a computer screen can be as personal as face-to-face interaction.

That's just my opinion, though. I'm sorry if I offended you.

It's not that big of a deal that you removed me. I'll read your journal daily just the same. I have you on my friends list still because it's more convenient to read entries from my friends page than visiting different journals.

I didn't expect for you to add me in the first place, because in the terms of beauty, brains, and anything else comparable, you're at the top, and I'm far below.

(yeah maybe I'm pathetic or something, but it's true.)

"I didn't expect for you to add me in the first place, because in the terms of beauty, brains, and anything else comparable, you're at the top, and I'm far below."

wow. there is no "maybe." it makes me feel incredibly sad if you truly believe that. i don't know you very well, but i see it in your work because that's all i have to go by; you are intelligent, you're pretty, and you're very very talented. as far as i'm concerned, there's no reason for comparison with anyone because no one's at the top. you're unique.

so i'll shut up now. wheee.
