Hi! I've been here for a while now - about 3 days to be exact. I've been fiercely devoted to QaF since 2002, but haven't been able to watch season 5 and most of 4. That's about to change! I got some DVDs and at the moment, I'm very, very Season 1. I'm trying to wait between episodes so I can savour it. But it's hard! I am thrilled I found this place. I've never had anything to do with fandom before, and I never knew about IJ or LJ. The learning curve is quite steep for me. But fun!
I have a question about friends. What are they? I feel a bit like Frankenstein or ET or something asking that. But I don't know what is the significance of being someone's friend, or asking them to be your friend. It seems like I should get some friends, but what if I then get overwhelmed with notifications? I'll feel rude if I can't keep up with them. But if I have no friends, maybe nobody will read my journal. In real life - or even on web forums - you don't ask someone to be your friend, you just hang out and gradually click with people. So is it like that here? Sorry for being slow on the uptake :D
