This is my babble, let me show it to you....

I've been giving a lot of thought to the comment numbers people have been posting and how I'm the top commentator on so many LJs. 

Some made sense- I'm certainly guilty of the occasional (or not so occasional) commentfest with some people- like [profile] _medley_ and [personal profile] mad_jaks and [personal profile] unfeathered but others honestly did surprise me, especially on some journals where I was pretty sure I hadn't done much other than squee and comment on stories and answer memes and offer hugs when needed.

If someone on my f-list writes something, and I know the fandom, I read it.  And usually comment on it.  If they're doing a meme and I can participate intelligently, I do.  I thought everyone did that.  But, then I looked at my own list of commentators and the list of those who have friended me and who I've friended back (which I'm terrible at remembering to do, I'll admit that) and how many times various people had commented and realized that, no, few people do. Which sort of surprised me.

Commenting in journals is not a two way street.  Just because I comment in your LJ doesn't mean I expect you to comment in mine.  I'm a little shocked and embarrassed about the numbers that have come about by people doing this meme, but I've decided not to let it affect me.  If I like your writing I don't plan on stopping telling you so.  If you're down I'm not about to quit trying to cheer you up and if you're in need of donuts I will continue to offer them.  I hope that's okay with everyone.  If not, just let me know, I promise not to be offended.

But did you see the Tony happy dance icon? :D

oh that's AWESOME, but, but, but... the wording... it covers his butt! Why would they do that?

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know! It's a crime, isn't it, to cover up that butt? ._.

if it isn't IT SHOULD BE!!!!!! *snifff* Poor Tony, wiggling his rear for a happy dance and then no one can see it like that

I saw we re-write the constitution and make that illegal.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
illegal and immoral and punishable by having your donuts taken away.

poor tony

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
we need another happy dance from him. Only one in 5 years? that's just wrong

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Nowhere near enough, I agree! Let's write to them. Make a list of things they need to include in the next couple episodes. Naked Tony, happy dance from Tony, naked Tony waking up to Gibbs, the whole team eating donuts, Tony and Gibbs having donuts for breakfast together (in bed and naked, preferably), ...

my tony-voice in my head has been terribly angsty and wanting h/c of late. but I like the way you're thinking!

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
oooh, tony h/c *sighs happily*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
now if only the muse would SIT STILL and quit jumping around like it was hopped up on caffeine!

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
your muse behaves like Tony. He'd cover up his angsting with a sugar high, maybe?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
quite possibly. I have an post-series/Au sort of verse with Tony happy, but brain damaged and Gibbs caring for him story, A tony's dad as not nice but not abusive guy Tony having to face him and Gibbs comes along with and a few other stories all jumping around, refusing to settle down and make sense!

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I vote for you writing them all!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
eventually maybe. unless something else shiny comes along

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
*cheers on your tony-muse*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Tony's very strong in my head. how could he not be?

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you he'd settle in and make himself right at home ♥

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
you're grinning at being right, aren't you?

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. It's a very smug grin, too.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
at least you're honest about it

[identity profile] chatona.livejournal.com 2008-08-14 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
