It's just about impossible not to be paranoid about that, but I think 99.999999999...% of the time, that's just quirky random timing.
Oh, I'm sure it's just random, Sean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And there are thread subcultures. I often feel thin-air-ish in the Movie and Music threads. No big whoop -- I don't post much in either of those threads, know my taste and experience are different from the "norm" of the thread, etc. And god forbid you only have five minutes in Natter -- that's a sure ride to the thin air feeling -- you have something to say, it's not what the current conversation is about, and then you have to leave before you get a chance to catch the topic. It's no one's fault, it just is -- really the only way to "fit in" is to spend a lot of time interacting, not just posting.

Also, agreeing with what everyone is saying about talking-to-thin-air. I'm always worried that I've ended up on people's personal twit filters, but I get over it.
edited to add a wandering "on".

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Shawn and ?? posted this upthread and it pretty much covers my feelings on the topic, LJ.
I'm the ??, Lexine.
That sentence works in so many ways... heh.

Hee. Poor Sean.

Astarte - do I go back and edit, which would make your post look incredibly strange. Or do I just say thank you for reaching into my brain and putting those thoughts into words much better than I could have.
I guess I will go with the later...THANKS!
