Argh!

Wasn't going to write this, started to, then didn't. But I'm gonna. Take it with a grain of salt, because it's uterus time, if you know what I mean.

I've seen people ponder this in their own journals, so I don't feel too goofy, but, what the hell is with someone ignoring feedback? I commented in someone's journal about a story they'd written (none of my lovely LJ friends, someone else), and not a word back to me! But...they answered everyone else. Someone left a friggin' one-word comment, and this person replied, but ignored my comments!

Am I psychotic or over-sensitive? Hmmm, could be, but I don't think so. Well phooey on you, cow-who-shall-remain-nameless! No more LJ feedback for you. And you seemed pretty cool, too, more's the pity.

Argh. Yes, it shouldn't bug me but it does. Rant mode off. Wait! Wait. Back on.

ARGH!

Ok, off again. ::deep breath:: And because I'm a Libra, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Le sigh.

I pretty much have the same view on this as Jae. I don't answer LJ-feedback at all since, I don't know, I just can't, but that's a personal thing, I'm sure. It's part of the reason why I don't announcement in my LJ anymore. I feel bad that I don't reply like I do in email.

and on the comment thing -- I turned off my email option for, like, months, so if people left stuff, I didn't even know, half the time. and yes. comments can be easily missed.

probably don't take it too personally. and if you were slighted, chin up, yo. You're awesome and stuff, and we all know it. and if that person doesn't, then it's her/his loss :)

Another fabulous person! A squeeze for you. ::squeeze::

I get cranky and sensitive and weird when it's that special time. ;-) And seeing how I deleted a friend by accident a couple of weeks ago and couldn't figure out who it was until last night (happy reunion!), I really can't throw stones. But, but, but...my hormones, officer!

I understand about the more restrained thanks in an LJ thing. It's very public if you want to do lots of squeeing and stuff, even though we squee regularly about other things. Hmm. Oy, now I'm thinking about it, and it's too close to bedtime to start thinking; I'll never go to sleep! But yes, I do know where you're coming from. Odd, isn't it? We're rather naked in our LJ's, aren't we?

ROFL!!! I just had an epiphany on a couple of levels. Two things:

1) When I first wrote you, I was afraid that you thought I was a psychotic fangirl.

2) I've become less restrained in my comments in journals. At first I was very polite, didn't say much, and rarely commented in journals of non-friends. I've recently begun leaving comments in a voice that's a little more me.

It just occurred to me that my feedback might have been a little too whee!, even though it really wasn't. But for a first time comment/feedback combo in a stranger's journal, it was perhaps too much, though again, it was on the restrained side of giddy. I think.

Again, ROFL!!! And I feel much better. Don't know if this is the case or not, but it makes me laugh to think of this person puzzling over my feedback, wondering what kind of loon is surfing the net without apparent supervision. OK, I'm happy again.

Thanks, Rhys! Thanks, Jae!
