I know I'm preaching to the choir here with you. You see all the things I see. Just sometimes, it gets too irritating to bear. How do we spend hours composing well-crafted, entertaining posts and get nothing, while someone else speaks in 2-word sentences: "Fuck this," and gets a flood of pretend sympathy?

And also the popularity thing. People who have so many friends that they can't comment in other journals are superficial and only in it for the popularity contest. I've got a couple of those and am giving serious thought to making some cuts soon. If you can't be bothered with my shit, why should I bother with yours?

I know, so much angst for a stupid online journal. I just think it all boils down to mutual respect and interest, which some people can handle and some people can't.

Maybe we're both getting too old for this.
