How many on your buddy list?
I've been coming here since November 2004 but don't have anyone on my buddy list.
What's wrong with me? Please treat that as a rhetorical question, okay?
Am I the only one who has no buddies here?

3. Well, one of them is my SO
:D

The other one is a friend I made through posting in GD, of all places. :)

10. A friend from GD
That's amazing. Every once in a while I venture over that but too often get flamed for something trivial. The other day I apparently put down the wrong age for Miers while talking about her makeup being unflattering for a woman of her age(I said she was 65 but she's only 60). I got a scathing message in return about my calculations.
Nice to meet you, flamingyouth

7. Meh...
I was never sure what the buddy list did anyway, until this morning, when I found out is just makes it easier to PM people. Since I don't PM people that much anyway, I'm cool with being a sullen buddy-less bastard :D

14. I guess my question
was more like how did you reach a comfort level with these folks to add them to your list? Maybe I'm making more of this than I should.

18. No one is on my buddy list
which might seem odd since I have certain indescribable relationships with certain other DUers. That might seem odd.... but I feelthat if I want to say something privately to someone, if I can't be bothered to do the work, then it probably isn't worth saying......

30. No
Everybody hates me so no one wants to meet me :cry:

I came close with datasuspect - but Rita washed away all my hopes. Came close with bikewriter but he decided I wasn't worth a bike trip.
Came closest with TJ, but he was just teasing.

I am destined to be alone and lonely....



Poor Sad Little Khash.

33. I'm fairly sure he is dying to meet you
but it's simply such a great distance.

Jesus, even *I* haven't met tj yet, and he's just down the road from me...

38. If I EVER find myself in Houston..........
You can be sure I'll bang on your door........

I'd love to meet you, my dear Khash....and that way I'd be sure of getting a genuine, first class, up-to-date pic!

Plus I'd get to talk to you.....and that would be fabulous.......

Someday....I can dream, can't I?

*sigh*

I put one person on it a long time ago, and I don't know what it does for me. :shrug:

28. None, at this point since I'm still a newbie...
but I'm not too worried about it.

There is nothing "wrong" with you, my friend.

As far as I'm concerned we're ALL buddies....

It's all good,
Shine
