Making friends

[raechel]

In adding a new friend here recently it finally hit me why I feel like there's less community since moving to DW from LJ. On LJ I didn't simply have a big list (I didn't really, maybe 30 active users tops.) I had a list of people who were also friends with each other. There would be comments with each other on multiple posts, conversations would carry over from journal to journal, and everyone was friendly with all involved. It was the written form of standing in your favorite coffee shop with some of your closest friends, and you'd all grown up together!

So, I propose a friending-thread where I not only invite you to be my friend, but you also friend each other! Point to this entry on your own journals so others can join and maybe we can get a good tight-knit group of interconnected people started? Or, if this idea already exists in other communities and threads, would you mind sharing various friending links?

YAY! (Also peeking at your profile, I'm really excited to read what you share.) Check out alwaysbeenasmiler's page for a friending thread, too! I'm headed there next :D

I have a friending meme over at my journal though it is a few posts down but I concur.. friends are amazing and ties forged can definitely be strengthened

[raechel]

Awesome! Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Thanks for starting this; I've been lax about posting, but you can never have enough friends!

Interesting thought, but I'd love to get to know a little about you and your journal is a blank slate.

I can always use new friends. I'm not as active as I would like to be but I am still here and still posting.
