Hinoto's got it rough, dude. She's like Cassandra - she can see the future, but despairs of ever being able to change it. She's sacrificed so much for the sake of her gift, and look what it's gotten her. *pets her*

I identify most with Arashi. She's got the same tough exterior with a mooshy center as I have, except she definitely has better luck finding a good man.

	I adore Arashi, but I don't identify with her. I don't manage the tough girl exterior, though; I'm far more likely to pull a Tohru or Kotori or Duo and hide behind a smile and pleasant manner. I do adore Hinoto, though; especially when she says "I can do all this, but I can't save this one girl..." Urg; heart wrencher. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Indeed.

Eventually I learned to just suck it up, post a preemptive note to the effect of "I don't hate any of you, if you really want back in then tell me" and cull every now and then. Nobody cares.

Though I still can't find it in me to add people whose journals I find interesting if I don't already know them, because I'm afraid they'll freak out and go OMGOMGOMGSTALKER. It's like this in reverse. :/

	Maybe his journal was boring. I had this one girl on my friends list, and all she did was whine about her boyfriend - how they would break up, how she missed him, etc. Eventually it got to be too much, so I de-friended her. Wasn't that I didn't like her, I was just sick of reading about her boyfriend. They really should change it to 'Stalks' and 'Stalked By' (Reply to this)(Thread)

Eeeeeexactly.

Hell, if you're going to get bent out of shape over a defriending, at least get bent out of shape for the right reasons. "OMG she thinks my LJ is stoopid! How RUDE!"

At least that'd be a new drama.

I do kinda like the fact that i have a DJ when i am one of the least goth types i know. I had some friends on each service, though i think i'm down to only a couple on DJ that aren't on LJ. Not entirely sure why i keep both up, but it's become a habit. Repeating all that crap on here seemed silly, when like so many, i'm just here to read the wank and point and laugh.

LJ is a mass of over emotional crackpots crying out for attention, and sometimes to be a man you just have to rise above it and move on.

(Be a MAN!) You must be swift as the coursing river...

Seriously, though, that person who unfriended him? Most. Boring. Journal. EVER OH MY GOD. I can understand being a bit miffed at the ego ding, but jeez, it's not like he got unfriended by Wil Wheaton.
