livejournal is weird!

[verbminx]

I just had a slightly surreal moment when I looked at my "friend of" list and saw that it had leaped up by about ten people. I blinked. Then I blinked again. Then I blinked a third time. (Um, I just woke up an hour ago after sleeping for 12 hours and having dreams of... all kinds of things. It was some weird stuff. Earlier in the night I was staying with relatives and the B-cat was killed due to various kinds of negligence; later I was in charge of the keys to a really nifty Korean stationery/toyshop and there was intrigue and long bike rides involved; later than that was something weird and romantic involving cute goth boys who wouldn't be my type IRL; still later I was shopping and I had a newborn - no, not related to the goth boy - who happened to be a kitten.)

I then started looking to see which of my friends had namechecked me in some "she is so fab. you cannot imagine her fabness." way (awww, shucks), only to find that not many of the new people had any friends in common with me.

Oh! It's that "commonalities" search tool thing.
I did mine yesterday, I think... it was odd because the highest person i knew on the list was someone who just dropped me & with whom I had been slightly uncomfortable because of their real life frienditude with someone who is a real life ex-friend of mine. Below that, much further down on the list, it was ppl like ragdoll and candles who I've known forever. I don't think ppl who joined at my urging (like ragdoll) are surprising, but not because we've known each other forever, but because I think it's pretty common to look at the interests of people you already know and "early friends" to make up your own interests list (like, "oh, yeah! I like that! I should put that on my list!")

anyway, I haven't really gotten around to adding people yet; that may take me a few days. I am a tired bunny with lots of schoolwork that needs to be done (and, er, a batch of people to check out for feministas). But hi, new people!

*grins* That search thing is fun. You show up as #4 on my list.

hee hee...
i bet i could move up if i developed a serious obsession with Amy Ray! ;)

I'm not obsessed! I'm... uhhhh... well... *laugh* Okay, I'm obsessed!

Pleased to make your acquaintance. You seem like a happy person, and I like the way you write.

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

thank you! :)
i am not always happy, but i am often perky. cos being sad and depressed and upset is just... it becomes deeply boring after a while. i have to admit that the SSRIs have helped a lot. also have to admit that when i get angry and depressive it's usually expressed as snarky cattiness. at any rate, i like to laugh. :)

you're the only person i've gotten around to adding back so far. you might like psychousagi...

As I said, you were #3 on my list which was pretty amusing. I agree with your assessment of *why* -- I hadn't thought of it. I also sort of thought it's because I've known you forever and we do have many things in common (esp. when forced to list 150 of them on a LJ list) so there. :) Of course now I have to do the Usagi Mochi thing because it's a bunny and not a scary thing like a kitty loaf!

I think you're in the second spot on my list.
No one's interests correspond very highly to mine, though- none above 25.
I feel like I'm interested in odd things.
