Your humor caught my eye. And that icon of yours.

I'm curious, the only interest we have in common is 'Writing' so and I have no idea who you are and don't recgonize your icon.

Your account seems to be new and already you have added so many onto your friends list.

So what was it about me that made you want to add me to your friend's list? Surely, I'm not that interesting.

Normally I would be very stand off-ish becuase of so many people who make a new account, then add as many as they can onto the friends list and then pull some imature stuff... but, clearly your entries don't seem to be that way at all.

何方様? (So who are you?)

Hi! I saw you added me so I came over to check you out ;)
I tend to be somewhat leary of adding new people, but after reading your posts I figured it was ok and I added you back.

Maybe you could put some more info in your bio so people can learn a little bit more about you? :)

Seconded.

In addition, you're clearly new to lj Kevin, so I'll be nice and let you know that it IS considered socially unacceptable in LJ society to, as a new person, add HUGE amounts of new people to your journal, as you have done. I'm NOT saying you are a troll, but it "makes you look like a troll," by LJ standards.

You can offset this at least somewhat by writing an LJ post that says, "Hi! I'm new here and welcome to my journal if I've recently added you!" and then go on to tell us a little bit more about yourself in the entry, and why you may have added various people based on whatnot. It's rather like setting up place cards at a dining table for those of us who were brought to a party we didn't know we were invited to, you see?

I hope that helps.

Based on what little I've learned about you so far (therapist, and I don't even know your age...) I'm not yet interested in adding you back. I'm still taken aback. Having said that, I hoped my explanation helped, and good luck with LJ.

I added people who share common interests. But, I haven't had a chance to update all my info.

I am guessing you do not know me either and randomly found me, but I am unsure why outside of the interests, since there is really nothing astounding to see in my public posts....
