I know exactly what you're talking about. For a while there it seemed like half of the people on my friends list decided to start using their blog to constantly talk about how horrible there life is, and how depressed and miserable they are/were. Honestly, I just stay away from that crap. That may seem a bit heartless, but oh well. I mean, there are some people on here that I consider genuine friends. People that I would offer to help if they were going through hard times.

Generally though, I use this site to be silly and to interact with people on the boards and in the group section. I'm not on here to get wrapped up in everyone's day-to-day problems. Again, that may make me sound like a jerk, but it's how I feel. Part of it is that I'm genuinely a shy person, and I feel weird and awkward offering help to someone who I barely know. And part of is that I'm just not interested in everyone else's drama.

You might notice that I'm not the most affectionate and open person on here. I don't post in everyone's appreciation thread and tell them how fucking hot they are, or how they're the greatest person in human history. Sorry, but that spot is taken. Gene Rayburn is the greatest person in human history. Anyways... yeah. Enough rambling.

So, I guess I would suggest cutting off people that are starting to wear you out. Maybe start limiting the journals you visit to people who aren't spilling their guts out 24/7. But I would advise against canceling your membership. You're too much fun to have around. Wait... was that too affectionate? Great, now you're going to have drop me as a friend. Seriously though, stick around.

Blah, sorry about how awkwardly-worded some (or all) of that was. It's kind of late, and my brain is beginning to shut down. Not exactly conducive to brilliant prose.

If you managed to make it through all of that, you get a cookie of some sort. Maybe oatmeal raisin.

BTW: if any of that makes me sound like a jerk, I reserve the right to claim that I was drunk when I wrote it. Can you prove that I'm not drunk? Hmm?
