"yaaaawwn"

[roxy]

So, I've spent the evening composing witty, pithy comments to your fascinating and informative posts, much more interesting than my usual comments of "lol" and "goodness!". Mind you, I deleted them. I think I am the world's worst lurker. I do try to comment on the fic I read but...*hangs head* I'm not very good at doing that at folks LJs that aren't on my friends list. I mean, I *know* very few people will say, "who the fuck are you get out and never darken my door again", but I do kind of worry that they will.
I know, shut up, I'm a doofus.

Comments

YES YOU ARE.
Sheesh.

Anyone would be *happy* to have you comment! Thrilled! Ecstatic!!
Get out there and *comment*!!
*twirls you*

I know!!!!

It's horrible! You don't know--I'm this awful combination of big show-off and painfully shy. It's easy commenting on your LJ and other folks who know me. For some reason it's a *lot* easier for me to step up and blurt out stuff on the SpN fic I read. I wonder why?

Re: I know!!!!

[tabaqui]

Hrmmmmmmmmm.
I suspect because they're writing Smallville fic? And maybe you don't want them to come read yours, or you think they'll compare yours to their or.....something silly like that?
*pokes you*

You *are* silly. You're so wonderful! Just so long as you never stop talking to *meeeee*.
:)
*smoooch*

Oh geez! You know what, I think you're right in some ways about that.
Stop talking to you??!! Ha! Not even possible! *g*

Re: I know!!!!

[tabaqui]

And that's *silly*, 'cause you have *nothing* to worry about m'dear.
Nothing t'all.
*hugs*

*HUUUGS*
See, this is why you're Star!Girl. :)

Re: I know!!!!

[tabaqui]

*dances you*

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Awwww! *hugs*

If anyone ever kicks you out of their LJ.... they need help! I'm sure people out there are hoping and praying to hear from you. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!

Okay, that I doubt--but don't you ever feel shy about commenting in some folks LJs? I just get like--stage fright or something. *snort* :)

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

I'm getting better about commenting in non-friend journals. But when I first started here, I was almost "star-struck" commenting in some journals (your's included). That was when I was primarily on yahoo groups. Now, some of the ones I was almost afraid to comment on are some of my best lj-friends. :D *smooch*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's true--some people I thought were such stars were so nice about the newbie commenting. I can't imagine anyone being afraid to comment here though--we're all just big old mushballs here!

Dang, I *love* that icon, lol!!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

hehehe That's definitely one of my favorite icons EVER. :D

[danceswithgary]

I just jump right in. That's how I met you! *hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

But you're brave! *hugs and grins*

[nashmaveric.livejournal.com]

Just a wee bit. But then I'm one too so I can't be all judgemental ::grin:: I shall, instead, tell you what I tell myself: "Shut up and comment." It's sad that I never listen to myself really. ::shakes head sadly::

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!

*hugs* you sweet talker you!

[nashmaveric.livejournal.com]

I do have a way with words, don't I? ::snicker::

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

but kind of an adorable doofus.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*blushes*

*snorfles*

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

i get that about being a combination of show-off and ultra-shy and oscillate between the two too. even with my friends, i'm sometimes unsure my comments will be welcome. (paranoia will destroy ya, so they say.) your comments are always a treat in my ljs, roxy. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See, you know what I mean. And then on top of that I'm kind of a bitch too...gosh. RL is very interesting for me, lol!

Your comments are absolutely appreciated by me!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

I have the same kind of shyness when it's people I don't know (when I do know you, though? Totally shameless - but you knew that) so I am trying hard to say SOMETHING, but it is hard, yo. You, however, are completely awesome and anyone would be thrilled to get a comment from you. *nods*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

when I do know you, though? Totally shameless - but you knew that

Both of us, lol!

Awwww, you're making me blush, you! *HUGS*

I'm a doofus

[ender24]

you are, but then you are "our" doofus, so that is ok ;D

Re: I'm a doofus

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! I'm glad to be your doofus!

too sad I am neither witty, nor do I have those pithy comments

[ender24]

for your amazing posts *g*
I shall stop commenting on you, until I reached that level of wittyness.

Re: too sad I am neither witty, nor do I have those pithy comments

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ack!!!

Not unless you want me to show up on your doorstep!

HAHAH!

[ender24]

one more reason, to withholding my comments!!!

*makes tea, and cacao, to wait for you showing up at my doorsteps*

You made me think about when I comment on a fic and when I don't... Definitely the length of the fic and if I know the author are two factors.

I also realized that since I moved to 99% commenting on LJ about fics versus sending emails, I send more feedback, but it's shorter and sloppier. I don't carefully craft my responses, even to a beautiful epic. Also, I used to try to throw in a bit of concrit--mention 5 thinks I liked and briefly hitting on one thing I thought could have been better/different. I don't do that at all on LJ, I think because it's not just to the author, but open for all to read... *ponders*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Before I had an LJ, I sent feedback by e-mail, and yeah, it tended to be much more detailed than what I send now. But, I was also mostly just reading fic, and not communicating with people beyond that.

Also, I used to try to throw in a bit of concrit~~~~ I think because it's not just to the author, but open for all to read

Yes, that makes sense.
There have been some rare occasions lately that I've commented in e-mail instead of posting because it was a sensitive or personal matter--and also a few occasions because I wanted to fawn horribly, and I guess I have some sort of mother complex. Y'know--don't show favoritism to one over the other? But you knew I was a doofus when you came in here. ;)
