Festival of Friends

[dotinthesky]

Hello Dear Stranger!

You must be wondering why I added you to my friends' list. I had nothing better to do with my afternoon so I hit the random button 100 times. Your journal came up and I added it.

If you would like to add mine back and become a friend, that will be nice.

Otherwise, just let me know and I will take you off. If I don't hear from you until the 4th of April, or you don't add me back until that date, then I will also take you off.

I bet at least one person is paranoid enough to yell at you. :-)

It's more likely they'll quietly stalk me until I delete them. I still haven't added all one hundred and I'm really hoping somebody from my LJ past doesn't pop up!

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

oooh, drama!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Trouble loves me
Walks beside me
To chide me
Not to guide me
It’s still much more
Than you’ll do
So, console me
Otherwise, hold me

you are correct, my dear!

[annakey.livejournal.com]

LOL - What would you do if artysmokes turned up as a random?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'd add him without missing a heart beat. He would never add me back.

[pixxers.livejournal.com]

You like bread and butter and Kids in the Hall - this is good enough for me. Welcome, welcome. :D

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hello there! :-)

[belacane.livejournal.com]

have any of your current friends turned up on random yet?

what a fabulous idea.... except i would never do it.
I don't want random people to read my journal, nor do i really want to read random peoples journals, unless (as is so rare) they are really interesting.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

The strange thing is that good, GOOD, friends on LJ were found through random journals. With the whole filter thing, I choose who reads what and I like to keep some of my posts open anyways, which works fine if I have strangers hanging around.

You never know who you'll meet, and that's the appeal for me. :-)

[llivejournal.livejournal.com]

Are you telling people you've added them? Or do they have to notice it on their own?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

They have to notice on their own.

[mihakken.livejournal.com]

It's actually a good way to meet people that you would not normally meet. Or a good way to meet -odd- people. Which is an entirely different type of fun. XD

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I like meeting odd people. Check out my flist if you want to see some examples. ;-)

[sometimescrazy.livejournal.com]

Just noticed that you added me, but we don't have 1 thing in common. Cool idea, but I bet you'd be bored with my journal, i'm a stay at home mom of 5, a pop music freak and i'm crazy about teen tv. Go ahead and take me off. Like I said though, cool idea. :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Awww, well, it was nice to meet you, however briefly. Take care. ♥

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

Just for the record, if wasn't by bondageup I would never find you here, so I'm glad I added a common friend like you :) *hugs*

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I think she met me through a common interest, didn't she? She was looking for people interested in punk, or something like that.

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

I don't know how she found you ^_^'
But knowing her I guess you're right :)

[blindscouse.livejournal.com]

I hate the whole "Argh, can I add you thing". I get all shy. Well done you for being brazen and upfront. I like your style!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You should give it a go if you are feeling like making new friends. ;-)

Guten Tag, Freund!
Good day, friend!

Ich wuerde dich gern in meine Friends-Liste hinzufuegen, aber du kannst ja Russisch nicht verstehen. Kannst du? :)
I'd like to add you to my friend's list, but you can not understand Russian. Or can you?:)

P.S. I've read your previous record, you wrote, that you met over 100 Russian Blogs. I'm not Russian, but it's my second language.
Take a look at the history of USSR and you will understand why a lot of people(not only Russians) are speaking Russian.

Sorry for my english. I wish you good luck and peace forever!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Welcome aboard. I'd love to learn more about the history of the USSR, the Russian language and the people.

I don't speak or read Russian... perhaps you could write in English once in a while for me?
:-)

Or perhaps I could start learning Russian. So what is your first language? And where are you from?

[dan4o.livejournal.com]

i can't good english though i can good understand, but not write or speak.

my native language is kyrgyz :) land - kyrgyzstan, was in the exUSSR. but i was born in kazachstan, also in exUSSR:) Now i am in Germany and study computer science. so i can also german:)
So it's life:)
can you german?:) do you know any words in russian besides "vodka"? :))))

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I don't know any german! I do know Portuguese too, and I can understand Spanish. Maybe I can try using internet dictionaries to write to you in german or kyrgyz. :-)

[dan4o.livejournal.com]

ok, but kyrgyz i know worse then russian :))
you can write in english :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'll write in English and try to read your posts with online dictionaries. I hope it works!

[bookishgal.livejournal.com]

Hello! We have some common interests. I'll warn you, I tend to post a lot.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

That's okay. I usually skip if it's something unrelated to me. Welcome aboard!

[gi-jules.livejournal.com]

Yay for random!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Random is the way to go. ;-)

[applebear.livejournal.com]

99.9% of people who have me as friends are people I don't know....it's all good

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Cool. Looking forward to getting to know you.

[applebear.livejournal.com]

well lets see what happens...added.

[guignolhornpipe.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell. As Shakespeare once said, 'What the fuck?'

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hey, I went to high school in Hong Kong! HKIS.

[guignolhornpipe.livejournal.com]

Nifty! Truth be told, I'm only spending the semester here (APA - woot). My 'real' university is University of Limerick and 'home' is Washington, D.C. (I guess).

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

And how are you liking Hong Kong?

[guignolhornpipe.livejournal.com]

I like it very much, but I just wish I spoke Cantonese. So far I can say 'sanguo' and 'wah.'

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I could only say my address, for those nights when I had to get home by taxi.

[nooz17.livejournal.com]

boo(:

i just noticed you added me. ha, not a moment to soon, being the eve of the deadline. added you back, i love the way you write. i love deep, thought-provoking posts and your latest was what snared me.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Great, I'm glad you noticed me! :-)

I look forward to reading your journal too and getting to know you.
