R/A/F. If you rate, fan, or add me THANK YOU VERY MUCH! XOXO I am going to assume that you did these things because YOU wanted to, NOT because you feel it's expected of you.
Please understand that I also do these things because I want to, NOT because it's expected of me or because YOU did them first. If I add/rate/fan you it's because I checked out your page and you seem like a decent person. The same goes for those who add me to their family. Again... THANK YOU SO MUCH! If I do not return the gesture, it's not because I don't like you or because I think I'm better than you. It's because I reserve the right to make this decision for myself, not based on the actions of others.
I DO NOT accept every friend invitation that comes my way. If you cannot even take the 2 seconds out of your day to say AT LEAST "hello" in a friend request, why should I take the time to accept? This just shows me it's all about numbers to you and I'm NOT about to be just another tally in your friendship pole.
Along these same lines, it is impossible to talk to EVERYONE that adds me or that I may add. At some point in time, I'm sure we'll exchange a few words but to sit down and have conversations with everyone is unrealistic. You should know that I HATE the shout box here... if you message me and I don't respond, again, please do not take it personally.
I am a full time student who attends online classes and I also work full time. I may be busy doing school work, doing research, helping other Fu's (for the Shadow Levelers), not home or just away from my desk. Quite honestly, sometimes I just don't feel like conversing right at that moment as well because I'm taking time out for ME!
I do try to keep track of who rates my pics and when time allows, I DO return the love. I am not superwoman and my stats only go back for 8 hours. If I've not hit your pics, do not take this personally either. I do not mind a private message letting me know that you've hit my pics and when time allows, could I return the favor. That's cool by me!!
