Huh?
Something I've been thinking about...why are there so many ADULTS on my Friends of list?
I'm generally very cautious about adding any adults. I have heard the winds tell of "grown-ups" who get very cranky when they see a twitty teenager adding them and commenting.
When adults add me back, I generally assume it to be courtesy, but lately, adults are adding me FIRST. Wassup?
I would not be intimidated if the people adding me were clearly not too bright, but that hasn't been the case. I get this feeling that is almost dread when I go to a user info page to add back, and I see something like:
Why do these people add me? Really? Now I feel so pressured to be witty and...um...and um...NOT DUMB! Yes, that's the word I was searching for.
I think to myself, "Well THIS one won't last long," as I add them, but the funny thing is, I've only been dropped by two people so far. *shrug* I'm just getting this "other shoe" feeling.

"I'm Richard, I'm gay, 39, and a rocket scientist. I'm currently working on my "Theory of Everything," which basically explains everything in the universe, although it's a little long to summarize here. The working title of my theory is "The Meaning of Life," but that could change. It's already patented. I live with my partner, Cory."
