Thank you, livejournal! I've been asking for this for over two years - I know others have too - and it's nice to finally get it. I can now abandon my feed-reading lj and friend people back worry-free! Huzzah!

Yay, lj!

In other LJ news, I've changed back to my Cuteness Attack style because for some reason, I can load 50 entries on my sidekick of my flist on *that* but I can't in Expressive. I'll fix it back when I return from Disney on Monday....

How many contacts can the SK2 hold? Please don't tell me 2000 and that you have 1999 of them used. The SK3 can hold up to 2000 and right now I only have 45 contacts in there.

I have about 1300 on my sidekick - it holds 2000 - but this is all the contacts I've generated since I got my first Newton back in 1994, and a lot of them are email addresses only (and haven't been used in years).

Wow. You have a lot of LJ-friends!

Well, yes, but...

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I've had this LJ for over 5 years, and out of the 750 journals & feeds I had friended before today, about 100 were feeds and communities, so it breaks down to adding an average of 100 or so people in an ordinary year. Which is a lot, but it doesn't feel like it.

Heh.. How do you keep all of the friends sorted? I know who everyone I've friended is.. I know who you are, etc. Most of them come from FA anyways :)

Holy cow!

As soon as I saw that I thought of you!
Very exciting day!

Am I totally notorious for friending people in huge numbers? I guess it's because I so rarely read LJs that I haven't friended because it's just not that easy on the handheld...

My journal is permanent so I don't have to worry about this, but if a paid journal becomes a free one, I wonder what happens with the number of friends. Just unfriend the latest thousand you friended? Hope people don't get too surprised by that.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Ew. I hope not. Someone should ask, but yeah, if not, then paying two bucks to be able to friend an extra thousand people within that month? Could be a useful thing.

2000 friends? Holy crap! Who could keep up with 2000 friends??
