"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*

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. ;)

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

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::

but kind of an adorable doofus.

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. :)

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*

I'm a doofus

[ender24]

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

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.

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*
