No offense -- I'm sure you're very nice and deserving of attention -- but I use this journal for a lot of personal venting space and I need to be really, really comfortable with everyone who's on my friends' list, and -- after your comment and skimming through your journal and over your profile -- that's not the vibe I'm getting from you. Apologies, but I won't be adding you. No hard feelings; it's nothing personal.

Oh! Thanks, hon.

[devi-says.livejournal.com]

Hi! I friended you! I hope that’s ok. :)

I really like your fic “Auld Lang Syne” (creepy and daring and awesome!!! And it’s how I found your LJ) and we have a few interests and friends in common!

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

'Course it's okay! I love new friends -- especially people who take the time to read the rules out front and come to this post and give me a heads up -- and ALS is my baby, and complimenting it is the fastest way to my heart. And, now that I've checked your user info, the interests -- B/A? Popular? Nip/Tuck? Pro-choice? -- we have in common are all very important interests to share, and the friends we share are some of my very favorite people. So I like you already.

And now that I've gone on and on and on -- but you're reading my neverending opus; I'm sure you're used to that, ha! -- hi, I'm Lamia. It's nice to meet you. I've friended you back. Tags are out front (at the top of my user info) for easy surfing, and if you're interested, last week I posted an all about Lamia post. And generally, I try not to talk this much in one go.

hey, I don't know if you got the link at the tv-community, in case not:
hxxp://up-file.com/download/322f31333390/The.Evidence-107.avi.html
enjoy!

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

My apologies; I had the worst migraine this weekend, so I'm just now getting around to downloading that. Again, thank you so much; I really appreciate it!

[masquerade-ivy.livejournal.com]

I just finished reading your IWRY fic and I thought it was amazing. So of course I want you as a friend, so I can continue to read your brilliant work.

So, Pretty Please!!!!!

*mi*

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Well, sure, sweetie. I'd be happy to . . . but I should let you know, that if you only want in for the fic, I make all my story posts public, and I also post them at my archive, lexio divina.

But if you still wanna hang out with me, I'd be delighted. I just need to know what filters you want to be on, because -- due to popular demand -- all of my posts are on filters.

FANDOM: fandom stuff, duh
SO-CALLED LAMIA: RL & family stuff
SCHOOL HARD: stuff about college, getting into med school, and also my job at an elementary school clinic
PAGING DR. FILTER: stuff about doctors (not me); mostly migraine-related
SICK IN THE HEAD: bipolar disorder talk
MUSIC JUNKIE: wherein we trade music
POETRY SLAM: where I post poetry

And if I've scared you off with that . . . I understand. Heh. And I totally don't mind if you don't want to be on a filter; that's why I have them; I understand there are things people don't want to read about. Also, there are other filters that people are added to at my discretion, and also seasonal filters, like if I'm making a surprise for someone on my friends' list? In the case of the latter, you'll be added to that automatically . . . anyway, you'll see the name of the filters in the header, after the subject title, in parentheses: TITLE (SICK IN THE HEAD, FANDOM)

I know that's a lot of me talking. Kind of a crash course. Anyway, hi, it's nice to meet you, and thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story; I hope you enjoy being on my friends' list!

[philister.livejournal.com]

Having friends is always good. Besides, I really like your title picture.

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I've been feeling not entirely well. But yes, you're definitely friended. Again, apologies for the delay . . . and, just for reference, in my journal I usually don't talk in telegraph style. Usually. Stop.

[luxemburger.livejournal.com]

Hi. You seem cool.

(I suck at these kinds of comments, by the way!)

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Everyone does. It's very hard to be suave in a tiny box.

You're totally friended, by virtue of your Joan Osborne lyric bio and your Veruca default icon. (See? The comment didn't even matter.) I'm Carly. I work here. Good to meet you.

[tiffyangel.livejournal.com]

Heya, it's the old Tiffys_no_angel. Just wanted to let you know that I have moved to this Lj and have been updating pretty regularly. :) Was hoping you'd still want to keep in touch.

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

(Sorry for the delayed response; it's the week before finals, so I'm sooo busy!)

Hi, sweetie! I was wondering where you'd gone off to! It's great to see you again; of course I still want to keep in touch. I'm adding you right now!

[myhappyface.livejournal.com]

We don't have that many LJ friends in common, but I find myself deep within the grips of a David Boreanaz revival (will I ever get over that man? survey suggests no) and consequently have been reading a lot of B/A fanfic. I just got through several of your longer ones - and a few of the shorter, pornish ones, yay - and would like another Jossverse fan on my friendslist who can understand the flailing it induces in me.

Also, Nip/Tuck! Season four! Singing!

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

David Boreanaz is too good-looking. There are several small countries that, their militaries not large enough to control the screaming mobs he generates, have banned him for public safety concerns.

And we only have two friends in common, but they're very important friends. Welcome aboard.

(Zomigod, Nip/Tuck is crack. Crack!)

[chiara607.livejournal.com]

I found you through fox1013, who is quite awesome, you seem awesome as well, and I was wondering if I might friend you?

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Amy is very awesome! She's one of my oldest LJ friends, and I love her a lot. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine; I'm delighted to have you friend me. I'm adding you back right now.

<3

[madcap-shiny.livejournal.com]

Hullo, there. :D As you prolly know by now, I've friended you. Your fic is damn pretty (that one Faith/Buffy story - I think it's called Datura? - just kills me), and I'd love to read your thoughts on other stuff, so...um...friend me?

(Dear God, I cannot introduce myself without sounding desperate.)

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! And flattery will get you everywhere; I've friended you. I'm Lamia; welcome aboard.

Your Fluffathon Fic is Up!

[thenyxie.livejournal.com]

Hi there! You probably don't know me, But I wrote your Fluffathon assignment. You know, Buffy/Angel/Cordy with candy, lingerie and plot? :) It's up if you want to read it!

Link: http://thenyxie.insanejournal.com/11204.html

Hope you enjoy it! :)

[kwizbit.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'm the girl that has left the last two comments on your journal. I read your C/A stories, and I know they're all public, but I still want to friend you. I read your userinfo, and we have a lot in common, and some mutual friends as well. If you have room for one more, I'd love to come in! If you want to know more about me before friending, you can check out my lj. The first post is a little guide to who I am, etc. Hope to see you around on my flist! (I'm friending you now, no pressure to return the favor)

-Katie

[anna-williams.livejournal.com]

Pardon my lurking, but the fic is just too good. I don't need to be friended back (as I'm incredibly boring) but I wanted to provide fair warning that your writing talent is being stalked.

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm incredibly vain about my writing, so that's probably the best foot in the door.

And whatever, like I'm not going to friend you. I've got to keep an eye on you, don't I? ;)

[bramjunkie.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Sloane. I found you via popedish. Add a fellow Carly Pope fan?

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

(Sorry for the overdue response; life's been weird lately.)

Sure! Carly FTW!

[clevermonikerr.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm Sarah, and I found your journal through a Buffy/Angel fanfic rec-list. We have some mutual interests, and you seem kind of awesome so I'm friending you.

I'm a college freshmen majoring in journalism and political science, but I want to write for television and watch entirely too many shows. I like Doctor Who and traveling and had entirely too little sleep last night so forgive me if I'm rambling.
♥

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

I'd like to start with: omigod I love your icon. Obama yay!

I looked through your journal and I am very excited to friend you; you seem awesome as well.

The short on me: I am a college senior who was pre-med and then decided that may not be the best idea. I am a (just a little bit) published and award-winning poet and author in real life. I work as a pharmacy technician, and I volunteer in inner-city school clinics and for Planned Parenthood. I have bipolar disorder, and the world's cutest puppy. I'm learning Italian, and sometimes I do posts half or entirely in Italian to practice.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'm very happy to meet you.

[yourlivewire.livejournal.com]

hey there. i noticed we have a few mutual friends and similar interests. (and the same name, it seems!) i was wondering if i could add you?

i'm a college...student (it doesn't really seem appropriate to say "senior" when i'm not sure what i'm doing) and i have two jobs, one of which i really, really hate, so most of my entries consist of me bitching about that. so if you choose to add me, i apologize in advance for that.

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

Add me at your own peril. :) If you have any questions at any point, don't feel shy asking for backstory; I don't mind at all. And I have a job that I often hate, too, so . . . yay for commonalities?

Welcome aboard. Ahoy and such.
Carly

[robas.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm a relatively new convert to the Buffyverse and stumbled upon your journal through friends and your fic. Would you mind adding me?

[carlyinrome.livejournal.com]

I would not mind! Welcome to the Buffyverse, and to my flist. :)
