No "whys" from me. I just saw, friended you back, and was happy. :)

Hah. I second that.

Me too! (I need more adult friends anyway! Until now, most of my LJ friends were actually my daughter's friends. It's great that many of them think of me as "Second Mom," but I yearn to talk with adults!

Most of my RL friends are much younger and sometimes i need people of wisdom to talk to too.

I have absolutely no idea who U r. But I liked reading your journal entries, so I friended U back. End of story.

[zendej]

I'm even going to quote this post in my blog... Can I?

[zendej]

absolutely.

[zendej]

thanks. i found your LJ to be quite entertaining and unusual, so the feeling is quite mutual.

Same as the above, saw you friended me and friended you back. I don't get why people complain about you adding them. If people have public journals they should expect people they don't know to read it, and the LJ website encourages looking at random people's journals with the "Recent Public Posts" section of this page http://www.livejournal.com/site/search.bml

What I find funny is the fact that on a public forum, no one has a problem with meeting anonymous new people. But on this website, people for some reason get all paranoid - "omg, he must be spying on me, stalking me, because I'm clearly worth that kind of attention" is what I assume everyone thinks.

Finally, you apparently have 702 friends listed, so it's pretty obvious you don't read many, if any of the journals on your friends page, so there really is no reason in people being worried about you prying into their "private" lives

I try to read as much as possible, but obviously, it's an impossible task, so i read and comment only selected ones, and differ them every day.
