I noticed that I haven't been commenting much recently. Which is not to say I wasn't reading, or that I wasn't enjoying reading my flist. It just - how many times can I write "wow", or "dies laughing", or "hugs" without feeling stupid? And recently I had no idea what to write in comments. So I didn't write anything. I have cool, smart, and witty people on my flist, and they write cool, smart, and witty things in their entries. And I think: "Cool!" and then "Hee!", and then again "Cool!" But, honestly, to write "Cool!" twenty times a day? No way.

All said above doesn't prevent me from sulking when I am not getting comments in my LJ. I can try to stay calm about it, and explain myself that people had better things to do, and they may have the same problems I do, or may be, different problems, and who said I write anything worth attention, and I am not here to get attention, anyway...

Who am I kidding? I love attention. I love to be flattered, pampered, and told that I rule the Universe. That is not the point.

And by now I totally forgot if I had any point at all. Feel free to skip this post. I love you all anyway.

So, guess who promises to be around more and love you like a fat kid love cake? ME!

Seriously, I was at J's for so long and without a computer, it was making me nuts. I am happily ensconced in my own home again and can't wait to make ::hugs:: comments all the day long in your LJ. :-)

::beaming:: Thanks! Now, when I got the attention I feel very embarrassed. don't worry about commenting in the least. ::hugs::

I totally get what you're saying. I haven't read the Moscow posts yet, but I'm looking forward to them. They are at the top of my list, and once I have read them, I WILL comment.

Now, I send you hugs and kisses and reassurance that attention is being paid.

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Oh, part of me knows that attention is being paid, as I am reading most of the posts without commenting. Another part is rather childish though. I am looking forward to your comment on Moscow post - I am curious about how they will mesh with your memories.

Gratuitous attention post

And when are we meeting for coffee, missy?

Well, any time - save today and this Thursday. I also hope that you know more decent places for coffee than I do (I came to love Future Bakery on Bloor W for its cakes, but otherwise - no clue). So I am open for suggeestions.

::hugs and kisses back::

What times of day are good for you? Lunch? later in the afternoon?

I suck at morning and evening.

What part of town do you live in?

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

I prefer afternoons to lunchtime. 2-3-4-5 pm

I live near intersection Dufferin-Eglinton, so the closest subway staton is Eglinton West, and everyhting within walking distance of any subway station is fine. Preferably University-Spadina or Bloor lines.

How's next Tuesday at 2:00? Maybe Yorkville? There are lots of cafes there.

I live near Maple Leaf Gardens.

I don't really know any places west (or east) of Yorkville on the subway line.

I suck. I'm very Bloor/Yonge centric.

Let me know if Yorkville is not ok.

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Yorkville is fine; Tuesday, 2:00 is great too.

Are we meeting at any particular place?

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[jonesiexxx.livejournal.com]

How about Holt Renfrew inside the main entrance? That way if one of us is early/late the other can browse?

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Great! Main entrance is from Bloor street, right?

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Picture! Thank you, I figure out I should post one here, too, so you didn't have to go through my previoous post.

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[jonesiexxx.livejournal.com]

Ack!!!!

North side of Bloor St. Not south!

Re: Gratuitous attention post

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

I know the place, just weren't sure if it is the main entrance.

I totally understand how you feel about commenting. I used to be a comment machine on the boards that I hang out at, but then after a while it's hard to find something new to add to what's already there. ;)

I am catching up on LJ still, and will read all the posts I've bookmarked after exams tomorrow!

Oh, and, Who am I kidding? I love attention. I love to be flattered, pampered, and told that I rule the Universe.

I don't think there's anyone who doesn't love that. ;-)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

My problem often is that I one of the slowest typist I know of. So it takes me twice as much time to comment, and I feel like LJ is eating me without any actual results.

don't think there's anyone who doesn't love that.
Not everyone says it in public ::is slightly embarrased::

::hugs::

[fer1213.livejournal.com]

I think you know *my* excuse. *winks*

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know! I certainly didn't mean to demand anything. It was a moment of some self-indulgent whining, and musings on my commenting habits.

::hugs::

[asta77.livejournal.com]

I'm in the same place as you at the moment. It seemed as if I was on a posting and commenting spree last week and this weekend I just couldn't find the energy to do either. Usually if I'm not up to posting what I type out is crap, so it's best just to wait until inspiration strikes.

I know the frustration of having no one respond to posts though. Really, we are reading (and I assume people are reading me!). Undortunately, if I have a time crunch I have to choose between reading my entire friends list (I hate skipping over posts if people took the time to do them) or just read a few selected ones and reply (I take forever to compose my thoughts). I usually choose the former cause I don't want to miss out on what's going on in peoples lives.

I don't know if I had a point, just figured I'd empathise. ;-)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Thank for emphathizing! :-)

On the one hand (more sensible. I guess) I understand that people may have stronger reasons for not commenting than I do, on the other... well... hence the post.
Thank you again.

I admit, I suck at replying to other people's posts sometimes because I can't think of anything witty or interesting to add to the conversation. I'm trying to be better about it though, because I love getting replies to my entries, and I know everyone feels the same way!

Oh, and I'll be happy to tell you that you rule the Universe!

you know, that's exactly my problem, too. I cannot comment with nonsensical interjections - not all the time, so I often don't comment at all, and feel guilty about it. ;)

::drive-by hugs::

I'm here too. Just quiet at the moment. :-)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I feel very loved by now. ;-)

[onetwomany.livejournal.com]

I'm being quieter at the moment as well. Not sure why ... I'm definitely reading as much, but I'm suffering from the same kinds of intelligent response deprivation syndrome that you are. But I loved, loved, loved reading your latest posts about Moscow and looking at the pictures - fascinating stuff :)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Great!

I suppose, my Moscow posts were what promted sulking - even if I know it is unfair to my friends, but I spent too much time writing them, and I wanted to know if I should write the next ones - that is if anybody is interested. But I will, and I am naming the next album right now.

Heh. & :-)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Yep. I ca be a sulking toddler.
