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.

Hope you don't mind me adding you. I keep seeing your posts in the Atheist Community and think you're pretty well spoken. Also, you're an fan of Bean/Ender. =D

Well, damn, dude. Here I was trying not to be overly interested in you. :D

I've popped over to your journal more than once, and I just wanted to say I have horrible hayfever.

Adding you back, of course.

I don't post much lately, I'm mainly just commenting here and there. Trying to work on that. =)
