Tell me about yourselves!

[teaberryblue]

So, my little pumpkins!

I have been thinking about something lately, and I would like to put it out there for all of you:

Over the past few months since I started doing comics, the number of people who have friended me has almost doubled.

And I feel badly because I don't know all of you and just can't keep up with friending everyone who friends me. This is not because I don't like you! I love meeting new people and getting to know them and I feel kind of callous when I don't friend people back, but I also feel callous when I don't comment on lots of people's posts. I am trying to find the right happy medium. I sort of wish that there was a way on LJ to do what you can do on Dreamwidth and unlock friendslocked posts to people without adding them to your reading list. Yeah, I know usually people talk about reading people without giving them access to locked posts, but I'm a much more open person and my downfall is more in the context of wanting to tell people about more personal things but knowing I just can't keep up with the friendslist size (or with the complications of reading list filters-- I have tried and it just confused me).

So, I would like to do this! Usually people post that meme telling people to ask something about themselves, but I don't want to make this about me. I would like to learn more about you! If you're reading my LJ, I would love it if you tell me about yourselves! Even if you are someone I know pretty well, figure it will be for the benefit of other people who are reading, to see if maybe they would like to be your LJ friend, too! And if you do have questions you would like to ask me about...well, pretty much anything unless it's a topic I normally keep under a friendslock...please feel free to do that!

If you need help thinking of things to tell me, try some of these:
--What do you do for a living?
--What are some of your hobbies or interests?
--What is your favorite color?
--What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
--How do you feel about chickens?
--Or anything, really! What is important to you to tell me?

<3 to everyone!

--What do you do for a living?
I'm a graduate student/TA in classics. For now, at least. I'm planning on taking a break from my MA in order to rest and probably to take some library science courses too. I'm not entirely sure at this point what I want to do. Something with libraries might be neat, and I could work in more specialized library stuff if I finish my MA, but right now I think that anything that isn't too stressful and pays a little more than my current stipend would be nice!
--What are some of your hobbies or interests?
Reading webcomics, Googling interesting things, reading blogs and forums, drawing, making up stories
--What is your favorite color?
Purple
--What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Why do you ask? Is this a test of some sort? Where did this bridge come from? In any case, I don't kno--auuuuuugh!
--How do you feel about chickens?
They are pretty neat. Also quite delicious.
--Or anything, really! What is important to you to tell me?
I really enjoy your posts and think you are an awesome person!
