Title: A-S sanity check.... Please give $0.02 worth....or more.
Post by: driftingblizzard on January 11, 2007, 03:00:18 PM
My ex wife (and husband) have recently sent me a "myspace friends request".  (Before I get slowly roasted for having a myspace account, its predominantly to keep in touch with my kids)... 

Why do I think this is a strange request,  and why do I think I have to approve it or face "trouble"....   I think I may add voting buttons after I hear back...  Situations like this tend to puzzle me on how to react....

Do you think you have to approve of it or face trouble?  Cause you may, they may force the issue, and give you a lecture about how essential a myspace page is to your life, and how easy it is to use, similiar to the lecture our generation occasionally gives to the elder generation about computers.

Approve it and then politely ignore them as much as possible.

If you don't want to, don't approve them. I don't know what kind of relation you have with them now, but it doesn't sound like you actually want the added contact.

I agree.  And if they harass you de-friend them.  Unless you have personal stuff up on your Space, then don't friend them.

Usually I can give advice quite well when it concerns someone else.   However, when it comes to me and my decisions, I seem to freeze like a locked-up computer.  So far, I seem to favor Odeon's advice.

omg yes I do.  And you may all scurry off and go look at it. 
BTW, what does j/k mean?  I'll guess "just kidding"?

PS, be sure to look at my downloaded videos....  I didn't tell you about THAT fetish yet.

But do you have $0.02?  Sanity isn't required, cash is.

Eureka!  I have just had an Ahh-Ha moment of clarity.   This whole thing has to do with me feeling compelled to do something just by being asked.   I have lived with the compulsion to lead a very ordered life and have always felt a compulsion to do what is asked.   A-S thing?  I think so.  The confusion is between doing what I feel compelled to do, and doing what I desire to do.  (Which happens to be NOT add her). 
However, I would still like your thoughts on the subject.....

It is simple.  If you don't want to add her, then ignore the friends request and don't add her.

"She will not be added.  I'm going to ignore her request.

When I first saw the request, it was like a giant firework had exploded in my calm night sky.  A bright flash, so bright that it lit up smoke trails from previous bursts.

Then a delayed but loud thunder-like bang as darkness returned.  The trailing sparks drifting to the ground, bright then slowly dimming as they fell, like the thousands of fractured thoughts filling my head, too many to see at once, yet all part of the same picture.

The chaos of the moment slowly fades.  Rational thought can now return to its proper abode.  Uneasy anticipation of the next raport lingers, like the ringing in one's ears. 

To me, the ability for rational thought to stay in place, and continue to function in the midst of chaos of mental fireworks, is sanity.  It is what I seek."    DriftingBlizzard  01142007.
