I'm not popular am I?

[fluffymark]

A month ago I was lamenting the fact that I appeared to have very few friends, and nobody was paying me any attention. Things are beginning to feel quite differently now. For the first time in a very long time, I'm actually feeling popular. Like the sort of person people actually want to talk to and spend time with. Maybe I'm deluding myself again, and it possibly won't last, but hey, I'll take advantage while I'm on top. It's true I've been getting out a bit more recently, and have met lots of new people and talked to people more, which is fun. I've also had the Val factor, who's somehow been making me feel good about everyone and everything. Catt's being especially nice to me, meg was flirting the other week, doseybat dragged me off to dinner the other night, eve is genereally being eve and cuddly towards me on email, tish is outrageously flirting here on my journal. Where did all this attention suddenly spring from? Add to that the dozens of comments on my LJ since sunday (39 and counting...) then the result is me feeling wanted.

Thankyou everyone. You've actually made me happy.

Comments

True, but then thats a tautology. What makes me a likeable person? Because people like me? Then we have a circular argument.

Aha. I see how eve's snowballing comment works now. People like me because people like me??????

You could do a lot worse... and at least it's a factual statement...

[fluffymark]

Its factual yes. But totally crazy.

Its akin to the famous people thing. True there are people famous for doing great deeds and suchlike. All well and good. But then there are some people who appear to be purely famous for being famous. And thats it. Theres nothing special about them at all - they didn't do anything worht being famous for. Tehy just *are* famous, and then the fame sustains itself. Crazy.

True.
But then there are random people, like myself, who just happen to run into you (in this case on LiveJournal, thank goodness for it) and think "Hey, I really like this person".

*blush* Why does everyone like me? Not that I'm complaining! Quite the opposite.
I was beginning to wonder who you were. Seems you know a few friends of mine. Is that how you found me? :)

Why does everyone like me?

Hmm.
Sweet, enthusiastic, funny, and oh so oh so *oh* so pretty.
So far that's all the reasons I've got, give me time and there will be more. ~smile~

The first I ever saw of you was on emarkienna's website, and I wished you had a LiveJournal just 'cause I wanted to know more about you...I'm like that...
Found emarkienna's website from countess_sophia's as it happens, but it could have been one of a few people, yes. ~smile~

Also, just noticed you have been to - or even possibly regularly go to - Electric Dreams night? ~bounce~ Excuse me while I cheer a little...

Not as strange as she appears on LiveJournal, honest.

[fluffymark]

*giggle* Let me get theis clear. You saw photos of me on someone else's website and decided you liked me purely on that evidence.
Now thats a first for me. Although it could just be you're the first with the guts enougfh to admit it. I admire your bluntness.

Yay electric dreams!! I've only been there twice but i looooooooooove it so much. I'm hoping to get there again before the end of this month. *enthusiasticbounces*

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

No, just decided you were very very pretty and wanted to know who you were and the like.
Decided I liked you after reading your journal.

Not so much a question of courage in admitting it though - I don't see it as a particularly odd thing to do...~s~

Electric Dreams is (as far as I can find) the only club night in Britain that plays the music that I like. I've only been once, and that was last *year*...I can't wait to make it back.

[fluffymark]

Well I'm flattered you like me. Or maybe that sort of thing happens all the time on livejournal? Maybe I'll have to get used to it.

I'm sure there must be other clubs out there similar to Electric Dreams. They *must* exist. Only I've not found them either.

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

~laughs~
It does happen from time to time on LiveJournal, yes. Also, if I'm LJ-notorious for anything, it's running across random people's journals and telling them how great I think they are - apparently that's a bad thing, but I can't quite see why...

I take it then that we like similar music?
This would be a Good Thing, if it were to be the case...

[fluffymark]

*giggle* Well at least now I know you're notorious for it :)

As for my music taste, I like a lot of things so my music taste is very broad. I mainly like goth/punk/80's type music the most, however I also adore the qulaity selection out of a lot of related music genres so you'll quite happily find me listening to bizarre folk music/ industrial / power electronics and the like, even if theres some music in those genres I really can't stand.
Chances are anyone could find music they like in common with me, unless they like rap or R&B or something totally urk!

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

Well, hurrah. ~smile~ Both for the things you like, and the things you emphatically don't.
Good music is good music, whatever genre you may find it in.
Except possibly for rap. ~shudder~

Rufus Wainwright?
