My Thoughts on Friending

[jaina47]

Hi,

So a few people have friended me lately that I don't really know, and I haven't added ya'll back.  Hi.  Thanks for friending me.  That was cool of you.  I'm assuming you're here for the fic, because there's not much else of interest in my LJ, and that's great.  I really appreciate that anyone would be interested enough to friend me.

I'm gonna admit though, that I'm a leery re-friend-er.  This is because I'm paranoid.  I've been around the internet for, oh, about nine years now.  I've spent the bulk of that time on some pretty great message boards.  But in that time I've also run into some not very nice people who really don't like me and my friends.  Also the internet can be a scary place.  Look no further than the kid who committed suicide because of myspace bullying or a dozen other incidents. 

Now I'm not saying anyone who's friended me is a scary psycho.  Ya'll all seem to be pretty nice.  But in general, if someone friends me that I don't know from else where, I'm not gonna friend them back.  If you wanna get to know me, comment in my LJ a few times, and let me know you're friending me, odds are I'll friend you back. 

So, I just figured it was time to say something about all that.

That is the reason I friended you. :) I find you to be an excellent author and i know when I read your fics that it will be time well spent. I'm a huge fan of your abby/ziva and your rachel/ivy stuff. I also added you as a friend because when I started posting in live journal I was a little confused and you were awesome enough to help me out. Thanks again!
