Just a note: friends requests can sit there indefinately. There's no deadline by which you need to decide.

I know that they can sit there. And it has for about 2 weeks. But I'm not generally satisfied with that situation, and its been bothering me more than it should so i'd like to get the decision made and the issue out of my brainspace.

-nod- makes sense. My other comment is that Facebook is about the most distant and riskless type of friendship you can get. She starts being a drama llama, you click some buttons and she's out. Whether you want to give her even that much space in your life is up to you.

On the one hand it's a possible olive branch and she's not crazy anymore, or at least her crazy won't rub off on you...
On the other hand you'll be seeing her "status updates" from time to time and you have to think if seeing those is going to just stir up the sediment of bad feelings for you.
On the third hand (oh yes I did) it will give her access to all of your status updates, notes, and photos... not knowing if she is the stalker type or not I am not one to advise yay or nay on this...

On a more specific level the note she left with the request sounds like she's recently been dumped by "PersonA" and is looking for some old lorhusol affection. Sounds needy. And "brain aneurysm"? if that's not an inside joke, that's just weird. Right? That it my uninformed instinct but you can take that or leave it.

Yeah, I've got so many hands on this issue its not funny.

"brain aneurysm" is not an inside joke, and yes, its weird, but fairly par for the course with her.

I am less worried about seeing her status or about her stalking me on facebook. Nothing goes on facebook that I am not comfortable with the world knowing about. This is esp true since i have work and family both on there and don't want to spend the time filtering that content.

That's what LJ is for.
