Numerical Inaccuracies

[wolven7]

Yellow Machinegun - [Go Away]--- For some reason I just can't seem to keep a steady 113 people friended. Every time I do, someone eventually drops me, and usually I'm disturbed and surprised by who it happens to be.

Bigdumbface - [It's Right in Here]--- I like the number 113. I would like to keep it steady. You people waiting in the wings? Comment. We'll see what see.

I don't know what's more disturbing: That people friending and defriending me, on a public journal forum gets to me, or that I'm more concerned by the numerical symbolism of my friends list. I don't want hundreds of people, mind you. But if i'm going to be this close to a number I value, this much, it's pretty annoying to reach it, and lose it, constantly, through less work of my own than would make me happy.

You know?

Night.

I've been at 99 Friend-Ofs for a while now, though a lot of them are idle journals and people I don't really know. I had 100 for a bit and then someone deleted their journal and now I seem stuck at 99.

Ahh, numerical obsessions. I like that I now take the 23 part of the way to work. ^_^

Are you taking it, or is it taking you?

[pallandrome.livejournal.com]

think of it like this. You are getting to 113 REPEATEDLY. Over and over, you manage to win!

:)

I knew if anyone was going to posit that view, it'd be you.

I think it's an awesome view, and I should like to give him the Hero of the Day Award for it.

Numbers can mean stuff, or thing at all, or both. And that amuses the crap out of me, too.

Do I know you? Who is this? How did this end up on my friends page?! *drops wolven from friends list*

Snarky bitch alert

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Never that. I don't tend to add, until i've been added, and feel I have adequate reason. Unless I know the person. Then we talk.

[emmasfriend.livejournal.com]

You're the one who told me I should get an LJ, you dork! Hehe.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So I'd be slightly more offended, than if I just knew you. But less than if we'd been best friends, for twenty years, or so.

[emmasfriend.livejournal.com]

We have been AOL friends for like, what, 8 or 10 years? Lol.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

A while, yes.

You know what's going to happen now, don't you? You'll reach 113, and for one wonderful, blessed, lovely day you'll have that number...and then you meet someone ELSE who you want to befriend and have them friend you. Then NOONE will unfriend you so you could go back down from 114 to 113. I've seen the future, this will come to pass.

Scary what a Window into the furture you seem to have... Damned creepy.

[pallandrome.livejournal.com]

A window to the future? No! My way out! Bwahahahaha!!!

You gotta be carful who you emulate. Might end up splatted, or trying to fix the presidencey, or somethin'.

What amuses me most is that I got Christine to add you about two hours before I read this.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

See prophecy of jessicarabbitt.

Hilarity ensues. ^_^

Rereading my friends page and the enclosed comments chains is always, always hilarious.
