You may or may not have noticed the increase in the number of buddies I have acquired since my return. I'm up to 20 now, up from 16 or 17 I think. That number is likely to go higher, too, should I decide to go through with the preemptive adds of a few members whose journals I enjoy reading. (A quick little aside here: this is always a tricky decision. The long-term sense of rejection I will endure should they decide not add me in return always outweighs the short-lived sense of inclusion I get from having a larger buddy list. What's worse than this though, is when a current buddy removes you from their list, for unknown reasons. Sup Singularity!)
You've said something before along the lines of, having more than 25 people around here you can call a friend is just not being discriminate enough. Actually, I threw my personal friend cap in there, but I think 25 is an agreeable limit. Anyway, I am inclined to agree. But maybe I'm wrong to think that, and my expanding list of friends is proof. I must admit, however, that I do not have it in me to outright refuse a new friend. When someone preemptively adds me, I have to add them in return. I can't help it. It is just RUDE to not add them, unless of course I have a legitimate reason not to, which they themselves are aware of. I mean, what can it hurt? Obviously I am doing something this person likes! Why not let them be my friend?
So, I guess the point I am making is I am sorry if my growing friends list leaves you feeling lumped in with undesirables. I know the special feeling you get when you're apart of a small, select group - I enjoy it as much as you do! But these are new times for me around here. I'm out it the forums now. I'm making multiple entries a day! Doing such a thing was inconceivable to me just a year ago. Making more friends is inevitable should I continue on this course.
Has this eased your concern at all? Were you even concerned in the first place? Either way, I felt it was best just to address the issue now. You're one of my faithful journal proppers, and I just want to let you know it is appreciated. In fact, you're now a member of the most exclusive category of my online friends: the dedicated journal entry. Only two other buddies of mine can claim that, if I'm not mistaken: Elmoogle and AcerBandit. And just know that no matter how many tenuous friendships I form here in the coming months/years, you'll always be apart of the group that's been here from the beginning.
PS. To make extra sure you aren't feeling forgotten or neglected as a forum buddy, I'll try to send you a PM from time to time informing you of how funny and cool I think you are.
