Child-like
Sep. 11th, 2015 10:32 amSo in trying out the friending meme on LJ I have some new friends. Which is awesome.
The friending meme protocol has been something like, "Hey, you sound interesting...want to give the friends thing a go?" "Yes! Hello New Friend!"
It reminds me of small children playing together--not in an insulting way, but in a simple, innocent way devoid of hangups and reservations. Hey, you and I both like coloring. Want to try being friends? YES!
It's a bit intimidating, to tell the truth. But also exhilarating.
And Live Journal, man. I can't think of another place where people actually become real friends; and frequently take the step of knowing about someone's personal life online to meeting in real life and becoming real friends.
It makes my heart swell like a big ol' cheeseball.
