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. :-)

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.

Gratuitous attention post

*hugs* *kisses* *rapt attention*

And when are we meeting for coffee, missy?

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. ;-)

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

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. ;-)

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!

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

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 :)
