Umm... Well, I'd considered friending you for quite a while before you friended me. The reason I didn't was that you were going through some issues that semi-mirrored mine at the time. I was barely holding it together a lot of the time, and really needed my f-list to help me with that. If we'd actually known each other IRL, of course I'd have tried to be supportive, but since we didn't know each other, and I had very little support to give...

Anyway, I'm making a hash of this, but just thought I'd throw in that failure-to-friend doesn't mean someone never checks out your journal; and it may be a lot more about them than you. (Like, I suspect my happy-mommy posts are not what a lot of what the people I have friended, that haven't reciprocated, want to be reading!)
