I'm not prone to caps-shouting. I feel it necessary, though. for the simple reason that I need to get **everyone's** attention here.
My friends list-- my virtual garden-- is getting kinds weedy.
I feel like there are an awful lot of you out there who sought my friendship solely for points. I'm here to try and form acrual friendships-- you know, talking about things. Now I do feel blessed by the ones who really make an effort to come by and keep in touch-- Maggie, SeidrDragon, Shalai, DivaDez, Janice, Amourette, and others, and new ones like AWitch4Life who do genuinely enjoy the art of conversation.
There are others of you-- I won't name names-- who have never stopped by and said anything.
I've rated everyone's photos, and stash. So I know I've done my part. I stop by every now and again to wish everyone a good weekend or whatever. What's really disgusting is that if these people are into my friendship for the points, then they aren't even rating my pics and stash which is a large number of points for them too. They don't even seem inclined to do anything but sit there and accept the passive points! Sorry, but that is utterly ridiculous. You need points, go out there and rate people. When you're done, talk to people. Leave a comment.
Here's the deal. Don't be a weed. Stop by and say something, even if it's "I hate your attitude". Here's the rest of the deal. If I don't hear from you soon-- I'm pulling the weed. That's right, I'll remove you from my friends list.
I'm going to post some bulletins to remind everyone of this over the next week or so just so no one forgets. I might add that if I named you above, you're exempt-- i already know you are for real (although you may certainly come by if you wish!) I will also exempt people who I have befriended in the last couple of days. This blog isn't aimed at my recent friends.
So stop by, say hi, or it's goodbye. I'm tired of statistical "friends".
