Good Night Sweetheart, Well It's Time To Go

[the_gneech]

I had a pleasantly unproductive evening, which I think I needed. Mrs. Gneech and I watched Pokemon 2000: The Power of One, which is my fave of the Pokemon movies (just because I am a shameless Team Rocket fan), then after some file-sending back and forth with a mysterious un-named fellow cartoonist and some e-mail catching up generally, I decided to go poking around my "friend of" list to see who's reading these posts.

Odd things, these friends lists. Every time I look at it, there's somebody new on there I either don't know very well, or have never heard of at all ... and their user info pages very often lead me to other people that I do know -- but didn't know they had a LiveJournal.

I don't put everyone who puts me on their friends list back on mine ... not because I'm snobbish (or at least, I try not to be), but because I have such a limited amount of mental bandwidth. Some people I've put on my list for a while just to see what they were like, then taken back off when I found we didn't have much in common, and so forth; others are people I am interested in knowing more about, but want to wait until I have a little more attention to devote to it.

So if you have me on your friends list and I haven't reciprocated, please don't feel snubbed. It's nothing personal. :)

Anyway, I'm about to head off for bed for what will probably be my first sound night of sleep since last Wednesday or so -- cons are wicked schedule-whackers. I'm in an odd mood and would like to stay up and chat with various folks I know, about all sorts of things I'm generally not prone to talking about, but I'm just too tired and need to sleep instead. Go fig.

Oh well, g'nite, LiveJournal. :) Have I mentioned I like you?

Well, I don't know about the other strangers, but I added you because I like "Suburban Jungle"... and as the proud papa of a wobbly-legged two-month-old comic of my own, Scandal Sheet!, I like to read cartoonists' LJs on the off chance they might dispense some cartoonly wisdom. *grin*

(by the way, I'm working on some fan art for you... hope it turns out the way I have it in my head!)

I added you because I'm an SJ fan from Wayback and I want to keep up with things. An unknown, untalented hack like me doesn't expect to be Your New Bestest Friend.

Then I'm flattered!

Duuuude.. I'm glad that you think that we either have enough in common, or that you've wanted to know me well enough to keep me on for a bit! *hugs* Thanks!

*flattered that she apparently has enough in common*

...tis very flattering...

Soooo, you're on his list because you've been blackmailing him, is that is? ;) Just kidding. I remember that party. -Frisk{

My vote was always "Drunken Orgy of Destruction".

And if he has, you are now under pressure to be as interesting as possible or get dumped into the Pit'O'Shame. AMUSE THE GNEECH, my veins command you!!

... and I'm still one of the lucky 58 people to be on your Friends list. Yay! Guess that means my life-slash-Journal isn't that boring after all! Either that, or you're just afraid I won't give you any lefse if you ever visit Norway. Mmmm, lefse.

Really though... 58 different Journals... that's a lot! I don't think I could handle that. My Friends list is already starting to grow too big. 58 Journals... That's a lot of reading.
