Yer doin' it wrong

There is another friendzy going on...

Last time or two times ago, I went through the entries and added people who's journals I might like to read. All had private journals so until they added me to their list, I could not see what they wrote. None added me.

This time, I went through and discovered that all of the people I wanted to add, I had added before and were never added back so my add did nothing.

Today I added comments to their entries expressing a desire to read their journals.

I mean isn't that why you add your information to a friendzy? So that you can get more people to read your journal?

I don't often add my own information because they questions they want you to fill out really aren't relevant to me. I don't have favorite songs or movies or animated gifs. And it seems rude to chime in but not follow the rules. Plus my journal is already 99% public so no one needs to be added to my list to get access.

So here I am trying to play the game but not doing it right. Oh well.

I am kind of tired of these cookie cutter memes too. The only interesting people I see on there usually are my friends already :D

I don't participate in every friendzy because they're usually the same people over and over again. I'll jump in every few of them, and I'll meet interesting people. But I don't need to do every single one.

Yep. Seeing many of the same people.

I'm so sorry, I was slow off the mark in adding you back. I thought I did it this morning, but there are two steps to doing so and apparently I had only done one. Mea culpa.

I agree....I want to read the journals of complete strangers. Lol

[susandennis]

I'm guessing you LOL indicates that you are sarcastically saying you do not want to read journals of complete strangers. To each his own, but I enjoy it very much.

[anonymous-b0y.livejournal.com]

Not sarcastic at all! I enjoy your entries and want to come across other diaries. Added you btw:)

[susandennis]

Well, slap me down. And... welcome!

FWIW, I find looking at your friends page to be a good way to find people whose journals I want to read. Of course, that only works if their journals are public.

That's a great idea!
