I don't have any friends
I mean, DU friends. I've been here a long time, but I've never added anyone to my friend list. And you know why?--I think I'm worried what it'll do. If I list someone as my friend, will they get something from the Admin saying "KCdem has invited you to be her friend"? What if they reject me? Yikes, I don't think I could handle that.

Anyways, I'm just wondering... what's the point? Are those people's posts highlighted or something? Am I missing out? :shrug:

1. I'll be your friend, you know that
no rejection at all.
I have none either, I don't see the point.

4. We're ALL friends here!
I mean, underneath some superficial squabbles, maybe.....

You just call
out my name (just not at the wrong part of an intimate moment with TXlib)
And you know
wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

12. damn you, now I'm going to have that song in my head!
:grr:

OMG, I just now noticed the part in parentheses... too funny!!!

No offense to you, I'm sure you're a REALLY great guy. But Forrest Gump is not a name I'd ever be calling out in an intimate moment. :hi:

20. Sorry about the song....
Really sorry, because it's going around and around in my head, too, and I don't even like James Taylor's work. Just another of my slick moves....

And you never know just what yelling "Forest Gump!" at the height of passion is going to do for you 'til you try - I do it all the time, and it's just wonderful :D

23. I was thinking about that, but I can't remember how it sounded
Oh, the horror....the horror!

I think I'm going to give myself a dose of "Boogie Wonderland," just to let me sleep.......

6. aww hell, let's
start a club.
Friendless DU'er's or whatever.

We don't join in, so we can automatically belong to a group that doesn't join...or somethin.

7. that reminds me of a club I used to be president of
when I lived in Russia. BCVSSSR... aka Bez seksa v SSSR, or, in English, Without Sex in the USSR. Anyone who hadn't gotten any in that country was welcome to join. Basically, another club for losers. :hi:

8. Just added you.
I don't use a buddy list either, but now you can see whatever anyone sees when someone adds them.

24. You've got a friend in me.
When the road looks rough ahead,
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed,
You just remember what your old pal said:
"Boy, you've got a friend in me."

:hi: KCDem

27. seems like it doesn't do anything at all.
I've added everyone who said they wouldn't reject me (sniff, sniff, you guys are GREAT!) and there's absolutely nothing different happening. I was hoping it'd make stalking easier. Oh well.

But, on the upside, I have buddies now! :bounce:

28. I never even realized you could add friends from this website...
so ok, you can be my friend if you want, I just may not be able to figure out how to be your friend back!! I would never reject you unless you stalked me to the point of no return haha.
