say what?

March 16 2006

i thoroughly enjoy a good conversation. that's the point of socializing and meeting new people, right? that's why networking sites are so popular, because people really like talking to others and opening themselves up to new individuals that they haven't met before. it's fun.


for all of you who have added me to your friends list, i thank you for acknowledging me. and for those who have taken the effort to actually converse with me, you're awesome. but for those who simply added me and have never taken the initiative to get to know me...then what was the point? am i just another digit to make your friends list look more populated? you added me, so why don't you introduce yourself? do you think it's my responsibility to talk to you first?


i'll talk to those that read what i post and respond because i know that they find me at least somewhat interesting. that's why, in turn, i'll reply back because then we might have some things in common. if you don't care, then why did you add me?


life is not a popularity contest. people aren't going to think poorly of you if you don't have tons of people on your friends list. and even if they do, that just means they're not worth your time.

that was well said. very well said. yeah i hate it when people on myspace think they are so cool because they have like a million friends but they never talk to them. i mean whats the point if your not going to talk to them. it is like your another friend to add to the digits. i completly agree with all that was said. stacy.

continuing our previous dialogue: the meaning of the word "friend" has been thoroughly thrashed. how many friends do we really have? many acquaintances, yes. many friends, true "lay your life down for them" friends, no. yes i'm playing semantics...but the loss of this word bothers me. moving on…i'm not even going to get into the psychology of it or freud's theories of puffing up one's online "friends" tally. online social networking is incredible because it provides a previously nonexisant opportunity to meet new and interesting people. to me, this therefore makes those who actively participate more well rounded in the long run. henri, you are well spoken, interesting, and i appreciate the opportunity to interact with ya.

happy st patrick’s day to you as well!! did you wear your green!? henri, i understand your perspective on the "friends" thing. now totally random &#61672; if you look at all my phusebox the entries [remarks included] , i tend to have a split personality. the blog entries in myphusebox are usually very random and light hearted with lots of attempts to get a laugh while interjecting snide and sarcastic comments, HOWEVER, when i'm here in henri's “anti_hero world”, i become deeper and more dignified and refined, it’s cool to conversate on a higher level. [pfft! like OMG!!! rofl gurlz so crazy i told her to stfu. :P i <3 my nu hair do u? hehe it’s prpl! :D wut u wunt 2 do tomm]

Whoa! I never saw that you had updated. =( I read the whole thing though. It was very well said. It's like the people that have 600 friends and you know they can't possibly have 600 friends all on PhuseBox. I doubt anyone is going to think ill of you if you don't have very many friends...so I totally agree on that point. Wait, I think I agree with it all. There's no point in adding someone if you're not going to talk to them. =) I hope you've having a fabulous week.. &hearts;
