なんでもない
Well, I've been still on semi-vacation, I guess, in that I'm not in any rush to do things this week. At work I've been trying to upgrade stuff on my computer and write instructions about how to upgrade it, but mostly been failing for random reasons. At home I've been lounging, playing a lot of SSX and simcity... last night I watched Mystery Men and knitted, too.
At work today I got a floppy disk stuck in the computer. I'm not sure how to get it out. Sort of amusing.
I went for AYCE sushi tonight with Kevin, Charlie, and Charlie's friend from Mudd, Lara. It was fun and enjoyable for various reasons. The sushi was kind of crappy, but the company was good, basically.
I wonder if I should wonder why some of my real-life friends haven't added me as LJ friends. Does that mean they're not really my real-life friends, or just that they don't want to have to read all of my crap? Oh well. I figure that it can't hurt to add people anyway, and leave it up to them to add me, and not worry about it. (It only sucks when they have friends-only posting turned on and you can't even post to say "yo! I've friended you, did you notice?")
I guess I'll go play DDR now. Sometimes it's good for life to be boring, I guess.

Tho I know some of them still read my journal but haven't added me to their friend's list...
Maybe it would cause me less anxiety if it wasn't called a "Friends" list... maybe it's all just semantics. I'm sure that their being my friend is't dependant on them adding me. :P

The thing is, mostly I want to be friended by people so I can read their friends-only stuff and post to their journals more than to just be on their friends list though... so part of it is, "do they not want me to read their journal?"
I don't expect random strangers to friend me, because I don't think I'm that interesting to someone who isn't a DDR fiend or someone I've met in real life. though, i wonder if people get freaked out more by having people they see all the time reading their journals or by having random strangers read them. (no, i don't consider you a random stranger, in case you are wondering..)
I get freaked out sometimes by the random people around CMU who read this every now and then, but who I don't see that often, but who will say "Yeah, I read about that in your journal." when I mention something I did, because I wasn't aware they read it, and then I have to think to myself, "What did I make friends only and what didn't I, so I know which stories I can still tell?"
hmm, this response ended up longer than i thought it would be.

There's that too... a lot of my friends make all their posts friends only...

I dunno... I would be more weirded out by poeple that I know reading my journal... with strangers there's no expectations there, they're not going to be disappointed in you. (If they are they'll just move on.)
With people you know, you might have to worry if you'd said anything about them that you'd rather have them not know about...
(no, i don't consider you a random stranger, in case you are wondering..)
Cool cool. Likewise.

I don't make anything friends only... I don't feel that I should have to censor myself in my own journal. Course this metality has come around to bite me in the ass a few times, because I've posted my feelings and opnions on certain situations, and some of the people who were involved didn't particularly appreciate my views. But I guess that's just too bad.
I didn't think they were reading my journal anymore as they made a big fuss out of removing me from their friends list, in a very rude manner and for no reason.
So yeah, it kind of worries me that something like that will happen again, where I voice my opinion and someone who wasn't meant to ends up reading it. ::shrugs::
Oh well... if people are so sensitive that they can't handle a bit of venting on my part then that's their problem.

Mostly I read the people that I don't list as friends but still want to read the journals of by going to Mike(mrpeck)'s page. :)
Someday I'll need to actually meet Sean McGuire, I suppose.

Nowadays the reasons I don't add people as friends are 1) I'm lazy and haven't gotten around to updating my friends page yet (I don't do it all that often and tend to do it in batches), or 2) I don't know they exist. Pretty much all of my friends were added because they added me first. (except for the first run, where I could go around and determine a very small crowd of friends)
Now I just have everybody I know added as a friend and then I make groups specific to who I want to talk to and post that. Nearly everything is still public, though.
