Exhausted humor

[demiurgent]

Daylight Savings Time kicks my ass. It does every year. It exhausts me. I can't get to sleep when I should. I can't wake up when I should. Or I don't sleep at all for three days, and then the fog takes me.

That's where I am now. In the fog. The thick, thick fog.

One of the things I do these days, about every other week, is go through my Friends List and see who's picked me up. It's this thing. This thing I do. Because I like to know. And when someone's picked me up, I often will pick them back up. It just seems polite. (It's not 100%, but still.)

And I was going through the list today, and clicked over to the bio of one of the new readers, and this jumped out at me:

"Technical Editor: By day I translate Engineer into English for a large company."

My brain, fogbound as it is, immediately came back with "and by Night... I am AGENT-J!"

Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.

This is where my brain is right now.

On the plus side, I've gotten some INCREDIBLY EXCITING POTENTIAL RPG NEWS I literally can't talk about because, Dude. NDA, if it even becomes a go. But needless to say, it's a happy fog.

Out of curiosity, what does friends mean when you get to the point where you have over 200 people on your friends list? It would be pretty much impossible to actually keep up with reading all of those, so I imagine you probably have the list cut up into groups only some of which you check with regularity. Is it something like that? It's one of the things about livejournal etiquette that I haven't figured out yet.

I'm just glad I can point to his name and say 'See see! I'm not a completely pathetic loser! Someone put me on their friends list!'

just kidding :)

You can stick friends in groups, which allows you to both select which groups you are viewing, and also restrict 'friends only' posts to certain subgroups of friends.

I would certainly consider putting anyone who put me on their friend's list on mine, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. That I have not been 'friended' by most of the people I have on my list doesn't bother me at all. I'm not sure what the 'unofficial etiquette' is though.

Of course, this is the point where I COULD cackle evilly and say "being (near) friendless can be a good thing!"

But who wants to admit to stuff like being (near) friendless?

Even if it does mean you can add back everyone who adds you without worrying about having huge loads of posts to trawl through... Though I do like to read quite a few previous posts of the said individual before they pass my careful screening/vetting tests. (I read the first line, and then pounce on them!) :D

I go with the "Groups" thing. Right now I have 6 groups. :D
