Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Is there anyone no longer on your friend's page that you genuinely miss, no matter what the circumstances of their departure?

I don't think so. Since I can't answer with certainty, I'm betting the answer is no. ;)

Well, there's a couple people who don't update for ages at a time, and i miss them while they're gone.

And there's one seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. Last i heard, he was living with his girlfriend in oklahoma. I sent him an email, but haven't heard back yet. He's very mindful of his friendships. *snort*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I do kinda hate it when people disappear...

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

Hmm...well there's someone who's on my list but hasnt posted in ages. We used to talk quite frequently then we sort of just grew apart.

[spacedlaw.livejournal.com]

YES.
We do email each others every now and then though.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Email is a good thing :D

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

Only two, both deleted. Everyone else who is gone can stay gone.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I always wonder about people who've deleted...

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

Nope - we went our separate ways for a reason, regardless of which side initiated it. No sense on dwelling on the past - it's a waste of energy.

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

there are a few people I often wonder what happened too, but generally only when I am reminded of their username buy runnign a stats program.

One person who deleted me was a big surprise. So Ithink because of the shock, it makes me miss her a bit. But really, the past is the past, and it doesn't matter now. But if ever I had a chance to make her explain, I might appreciate that.

There was another person who I even met in real life and we had a charming time. So I liked her.. but then she turned out to be a bit unstable, unadded me on a whim (on her part). And then got mad at the only mutual friend we had left, on a whim.. So I don't miss her, but I kinda miss who I used to think she was. But I'm definitely better off.

Yes:(

Not a bit. It wasn't meant to be and it made journaling not much fun when they were a part of mine so I wish them well but I am much happier not corresponding.

[sorah.livejournal.com]

Yes, two individuals and they post every few months or so now.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Yes, and eff them right in the neck!

Kidding! No, I don't miss anyone not on my list. I keep the happy memories and make new friends. There's a reason people - especially immigrants - say, "you can never go back," why Yoda said, "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not," and why Buddhists teach that nothing is permanent.

I suspect that if a person can accept that, that they can live to an age old enough to have seen all of the friends they made in the first 20 years of their life die and still be happy.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Very well said!

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

A few. I hate that about LJ. I have no idea what their names are or where I'd find them. Perhaps that means they don't want to be found.

[xjenavivex.livejournal.com]

yes

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[honuhoney.livejournal.com]

nope. anyone that is no longer on my friend's page is gone for a reason and there was much deliberation in the removal.

[innerly.livejournal.com]

yes, a dear friend deleted a couple of weeks ago, hopefully he'll come back

hey, i ran my stats on top commenters and you came in first, goldstar for you :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Woo Hoo!

And I hope your friend who deleted comes back!

[hecatesdaughter.livejournal.com]

There is always a few that I miss that I used to be real tight with but as time moves on things are ever changing and I just embrace those that I have in my life now and look back on the good times with the others.

[stalkings.livejournal.com]

No. They aren't on my friends list for a reason: we somehow got seriously disconnected!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

There are a few I miss, but only because they were assholes and I would really like to sock it to them. Pure childish ego on my part. ::grin:: They are really not worth all the stress to bother with. However, that being said, if the opportunity ever gracefully arose from out of the depths of serendipity... I would totally sock it to them! (A certain 'path_of_menstruation' comes to mind...) ^__~

There is one person that I really do miss, though. pooka.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A certain 'path_of_menstruation' comes to mind...

You have an awesome way with words, brother fox :D

[beatzz.livejournal.com]

My first fandom friend. She got busy with her young career when we were just getting closer. She might come back, though, she says, one day. Her journal's inactive now. Miss her. :(

[castlelady.livejournal.com]

Yes, there is. One of my LJ friends passed away from cancer two years ago, and I miss her dearly. Her journal is still on my friends list and will always stay there. It's like a shrine to her now.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:(

*hugs you*

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

No, but there are people currently on my friend's page that I genuinely miss.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

[spritegirltn.livejournal.com]

yes, I get attached to people quite easily. I am weird like that.

[soothethemuse.livejournal.com]

only one out of sincere missing, since he's passed on. I'm sure you know who that is.

And one because I have a morbid curiosity about what she's actually doing with her soap opera drama of a life right now.
