Ever do this thing where you comment in someone's journal and kind of lose it, praise-wise? Like maybe you might have gone just a weeee bit overboard? And they give you the LJ equivalent of backing off and surreptitiously checking out the exits? Pretty fucking embarrassing, isn't it?

Gosh, not that I've ever done anything like that. *koff* Not me, I'm made of cool.

OMG, I do that SO often. And then I want to go back and delete, but that would almost be worse. And I always manage to do it in the journals of people I barely know, so I'm convinced they must think I'm a total crazy person.

Ahhh Roxy you made me laugh. Thankyou for this moment of sheer bloody cheerful embarrassment. I love that last line and I don't know why but I hear a voice. I'm sure I've had the same treatment from hugely dorkable over-exuberant puppy love comments I've left but I refuse to acknowledge the existence of such reactions...preferring instead to go along my merry way blissfully oblivious to all the not so covert, highly suspicious and more than a little bewildered looks and the scrabbling, frantic user profile views thrown my way.

how would they do that?
i mean, i would like to know the signs, if that happened to me.

though, that concept of going overboard, in fandom, seems strange to me, since fandom (well to those who are active anyway) is kind of an obsession, and i most of the time assume, the other is about the same level of craziness as i am so, *shrugs, where it the problem*.
when they want to be cool and aloof, they are in the wrong place, or should completely flocked their LJ

*raises hand* I've definitely done that.

oh yes, me too. i usually back off in embarrassment and then do it again next time they post something wonderful. being a fangirl is all about the squee, isn't it?

I think I did that earlier today actually! LOL

I can't help it - no cool, whatsoever. ;D

I thought I was the only one!!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh yeah. Big time. I completely feel like I'm back in High School and the popular cute guy smiled at me and I tripped over my own feet trying too hard. *facepalm*

Yeah. All the time.

Heh. Who on LJ is so damned cool that "too much praise" is even a possibility?

Well, okay. I know what you mean. Sometimes enthusiasm of the moment gets the better of me.

Ah, I'm sure that's not the case!!!

[midori79.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've really gushed, but I have a dry sense of humor, and I worry after I post that they will take it the wrong way.

ENTHUSIASTIC CAPSLOCK IS MY FEEDBACK BREAD AND BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

(so are excessive exclamation points)

I only tend to comment on fic if I truly love it or have a personal realationship with the author, so the squee is pretty much built into my commenting system (not that I'd fo - squee good friends, just be pleased that they'd given something a shot even if its not to my taste).
