Results of the 100 random strangers experiment

[dotinthesky]

Of those 100 random people that I added last week to my journal, only 6 added me back.

Of the 6 people that decided to embrace me into their hearts:

- one of them is from Russia. I can only comment on her posts with pictures.
- two of them are gay and lovely, in their own unique way.
- three of them added me later during the week, so I'm still getting to know them. I suggested one of them lick the wall plug for an electrical jolt, and I commented in the other's journal about a poem he/she wrote.

I would have been happy if only 1 out of the 100 had added me back. 6 new friends is indeed a great thing.

Awww, I should thank you! I've really enjoying reading your journal this afternoon. I'm going to stop at November 1st and pick it up tomorrow.

Do you realize you are now my Livejournal equivalent of "The Bold and The Beautiful"? :-)

I am SO happy you r enjoying it...it makes having jotted it all down worth it. Hang in there...it only gets "worse"...

hahaha
you are scary dr frankenstein!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Don't you make me come after you.

Mar, by the way, I would like to return to your Spanish filter! I feel like I hardly ever hear from you by being only in the English filter.

[suede.livejournal.com]

Only used it twice, but did today! Really I dont write in spanish, but I am going to add you so you can check the lack of spanish posts :D

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Aw, but then you should write more! I'd like to hear more about what you've been up to.

[suede.livejournal.com]

I'll try to its just a lack of inspiration :D

I am not gay, sorry to disappoint, I only sleep with some men and love another...I am divorcing and have a son, I am only unlucky with girls!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

In that case, I will think of you as representing the original meaning of the word "gay". The other adjective, lovely, still applies.

some folks you might enjoy

aeonflux is erin. she writes and writes and writes. i took a film class with her once and she's one of the most interesting people i know. she doesn't update often.

michael_caine has some funny posts about baby spice and going to the zoo.
seanby is my bestest gay boy. he posts randomly. a lot of times he'll include an excerpt from whatever book he's reading at the time.

Thank you! I'll go say hello and add these wonderful folks. I'm always open to new and entertaining journals.

Was I one of the random hundred?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I've noticed you before in Melanie's journal, then I checked your info page a couple of times and saw your swimming icon - so I figured you were like myself and enjoyed a nice pool. Also, Melanie said you were a great person so I figured I should add you as a friend. ;)

Interesting idea on adding friends. I selected you because your journal entries are sooooo interesting, & also because I seem to have this enormous attraction to Latino ( I hope that's the correct word; or is it Hispanic?) men; the last guy I was involved with was a Mexican illegal, & ever since him, I can't help noticing the beautiful Latino men, who seem to have suddenly appeared all over the city...they're so insolently sexy when you first meet them, but afterwards so sweet & lovable when you get to know them....

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I don't really look hispanic, though my mom is Brasilian. I take after my dad, who is English (I've got the pale skin, green eyes and brown hair.) But if you don't mind that, I hope you enjoy my journal! I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts too. ;)

you are so cute, ollie............
i want to have your babies!!!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

*thinks if he wants Hobbit babies*

[erulisse.livejournal.com]

LOL. I added you back because I enjoyed your sense of humour, but I'm afraid all you're gonna get out of my journal is err...brainless fangirling though.

And gratuitous use of emoticons.

You have been warned. =P

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I don't mind brainless fangirly stuff. And emoticons (though I'm desperately trying to give up on them!)

You have also been warned about my sense of humour... :-)

[calience.livejournal.com]

Only six added you back? Out of a hundred? Heh, people need to lighten up and be open to making new friends.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people expect the adder to say hello, which I didn't. I left, instead that message, so if they came to my journal they would see why I had added them - but I guess they didn't bother.

It's ok though because I really don't want zillions of new journals to read... it's hard to keep up as it is!

eles não vão se arrepender Ollie ^_^
