My Penis is All Tangled Up

[strange_aeons]

I have a little glitch about emailing people, a vague reluctance to do so unless they open that channel themselves by emailing me first or by stating explicitly or strongly implying (by, say, asking me to email them something) that it's okay. It's probably a territory thing. Email (well, personal email) is private correspondence, which means I (in my mental mock-up) go a little ways into the recipient's territory when I send some; email happens in a part of my territory that is on-limits, but I can't be sure this will hold true for J. Random Recipient.

The point of my self-absorbed rambling is that I appear to have lifted this glitch more or less wholesale and applied it to adding people to my friends list. That and I don't check the list in question often enough to know if certain parties have added me to theirs if it isn't actually called to my attention, in case you were wondering if I was ignoring you.

No worries. In case it wasn't clear at five in the morning (which I suspect it wasn't, knowing the clarity of the world in general at such hours), I meant my comment on "being left out" as a humorous way of pointing out that I'd added you, and nothing more.

And, if hasn't been clear by my adding you to my friends list (and I hope your glitchish thing doesn't work in reverse and that it was ok to do so; if not, my apologies!), you're quite welcome to add me to yours ... ah, I see that it was clear after all. *grin*

Bringing Whole New Meaning to the Phrase 'I Missed the Automatic Email'

Oh, I figured you were kidding.

I wouldn't have put the message in such a front-pagy sort of place, but it may prove useful later as a sort of open letter to people I haven't noticed yet. (Which possibility I'm sure makes you feel special. )

Plus, I couldn't resist the opportunity to title a post 'My Penis is All Tangled Up'.
