Thoughts.com Blogs - Excuse me, but, would you like to be friends?

I had not checked my friends request list for awhile
because
I sort of forget that its there

and 2 friends were just sitting outside my blog door
waiting to be friends with me.

Bless their little hearts!

I feel so bad
for making them wait so long

of course I want to be friends
I'm honored you asked

and apologize for making you wait so long for my answer

it wasn't like I was sitting at my computer
trying to decide
hum
do I or don't I want to be friends with this person
who happens to be a total stranger

who has
a crazy name
and no face
and who
lives somewhere in Afghanistan?

sure
come on in!
make yourself at home
so
what's new friend?
besides our friendship

Have a seat,
get comfie
Have you met my other good friends?
Let me introduce you!
Oh, I had better warn you in advance,

I'm really bad with blog names
because everyone here has more than one name and I never know what to call them and some of their names are so long,
I feel the need to shorten them and I have no idea if they resent it?
lets use our head thinker here on thoughts as an example
His blog name is Jason but his real name is Ben
his sons name is Jason
so what is that about?
he is such a great guy
do they call thier son Ben?
I get a kick out of reading a thread whenever someone tries to refer to our fearless leader
you just never know what they are going to call the poor guy

I digress
thats another story
now where was I
oh yeah

welcome friend
check out some of these cool people
but do me a favor

try not to be better friends with them than you are with me
because you know that
you and I
have a special friendship

don't we?
besides, we were friends first

lets see
now that we are friends
I probably should check up on you every once in awhile
to see how you are doing
make my way over to your posts
every now and then
leave a comment or two
just to let you know I stopped by
and occasionally send you an e mail
if we want to say something to each other
without our other friends hearing
maybe we could meet up at the forum some night after work
if youre free?
seriously

has anyone ever turned anyone friends request down?
that would be pretty harsh
tell me your friend stories!
who has the most friends?
should we feel jealous of them
what if we hardly have any friends
should we feel sad?
do you have to be a friend first
before you are able to make a friend?
who initiated your friendships

what does all this mean?
do you think that being friends with someone in blog land requires a certain responsibility?

and while I have your attention
assuming I do
you have to think positive

what the heck does bookmarking someone mean

is it like branding someone?
is a bookmarked friend a better friend?
like a sorrority sister?
than someone who is not bookmarked
are those just aquaintances?
this is so confusing
espeicially since
you always have a blank look on your face
I can never tell what you are thinking?
do we send birthday cards to each other
FYI
my birthday is May 21st
just for your records
