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:

"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."

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.

Maybe you're just more interesting than you're willing to let yourself believe.

It happens.

Just keep being who and how you are, and don't worry about what people think of it. You may be pleasantly surprised. :)

Ha, I ALWAYS worry about what other people think of me. :D

And, of course, I think I'm utterly fascinating, I just wouldn't expect other people to find me interesting.
