Not all these people are on my buddylist. I still read their stuff. And it was good, might I add. BUT - for all you new bloggers, don't expect to jump into throwing name after name on your buddy list just to get reads. I don't think it'll work like that. Because what if a blogger reads your buddylist and see other bloggers that are on their imaginary "he's-a-jerk list". That would probably make them like you even less.

OH! I almost forgot to ask - has anyone been a big enough kiss ass to put Admin on their buddylist? Brenda needs buddies too!

Well, that's all for today. It's time for some orange juice, a nap and a cigarette (Gee, I wonder why I'm sick?) Hopefully my neighbor won't be in the bathroom!

HOW TO ADD TO BUDDYLIST

realitycheck's picture

let's say you wanted to add me to your buddylist -

look at the top of my blog where it says "realitycheck" in blue,

if you select my name you will be taken to a screen where you can review all my info - all of my blogs, my buddies, my interests, etc.

it will then say "add realitycheck" to my buddylist?

you just select yes!

you can do this with any bloggers name that is highlighted like that.

Buddy lists

I enjoyed this blog. I've been in situations where I wanted to "remove" a buddy, but it wasn't here. It was on a forum, and it's really awkward. I thought the enemy list idea was pretty funny, but I'm not sure I'd want the list of people who get on my nerves to be viewed by anyone who reads my profile, not that there aren't a few bad attitudes out there that might deserve it.

My Buddy List Confessions ;-)

First of all, great blog! I posted my blog last night because I was blog-less too...:)

Ok, now my Buddy List confessions -- I generally only add people who...

have left me a comment :-/ lol...

Yes, it's true! Leaving a comment on my one of my blogs is a sure-fire way to get me to notice you AND your blog. Now, I don't ALWAYS do this.. but it's how I started adding people anyway. ;-)

Then, once you're on my buddy list, I start checking out your blogs every day, leaving comments, etc. etc...

So, yeah, I always check out my buddies work first, then if there's time I read random, INTERESTING blogs...

As far as removing people... I haven't done any removing here, but I have on other sites. It's uncomfortable, and sometimes the person you're removing has pissed you off and knows it's coming... but hey... you can't like everybody, right?

But Realitycheck, you are one of my favorite bloggers and your blogs never fail to make me think, smile OR make me jealous (for being so damn good!) ;-)

Thanks for the nice compliment :) !
When I wrote this I thought it's going to be funny - either people are going to be removing me from their lists for such a stupid blog or they're going to add me out of fear that I'll remove them from mine!

Ya know, people don't always have to agree with me to make me like them either. Sometimes someone who just raises good point is appealing.

I like your blogs as well! Keep up the good work!
*I can't believe you've actually removed people. That's hilarious!

BUDDY SWAP

What if there was a "Buddy Swap", like "I'll trade you a Gom Jabber and a Realitycheck for your paintedladybug" - kinda like in Monopoly? That would put a whole new twist on things, wouldn't it?

I've thought about adding our Admin too...

but figured I'd look too much like a brown-noser if I did. :-/

What is the rule for something like that? Is it expected or not?

I don't know about that

Um, I'm not sure. Is it kinda like if you plan to stop and get a bagel before work, you buy the boss one too?

I'm so out of the loop on this buddy list thing

Other people can actually see your buddy list? How do you know whether someone has added you to their buddy list?

Realitycheck, hope you feel better...
be my buddy and I'll be yours!

I hope I feel better too! I think it's strep throat. I called the doctor yesterday to make an appointment and the lady said, "I can fit you in on Wednesday at 3:30pm, is that all right?"...Why the hell would I want an appointment for Wednesday? It was Friday when I called! By Wednesday I'll probably be better!

Anyway, here's a breakdown of "the buddylist" -
If you look under your account section you will see "My buddy list" and a "Buddy of" list. Yes, anybody who chooses to look at your main page can do so. For example, if you click on my name you will see all of my junk.
In my response to Theclassy1 (above) I mentioned how to add a buddy. If somebody adds you to their list you will get a message the next time you log on. It will say, "realitycheck has added you to her buddylist".
Did I answer your questions?

Yes, that's helpful, thanks!

It's kind of weird that everybody can see it but I guess it's good publicity too.

No buddies for me

I have no buddies. :( I feel so rejected all of a sudden.

I have buddies on my other username(s), though, so that's okay.

If you go to your "my account" section you can see who's added you.

I thought you were going to

Brenda - I'm sure you'll have like 40 buddies after today. You'll be the "Buddy Queen". People will read your profile and be envious of how many buddies you have.

James - Yea, I though about removing you. I was really debating it, but then I thought - "who am I goin' to go to for insider Piston info?" so I decided not to.
Just Kidding. I'm your biggest fan!

Thanks for the add and the

Thanks for the add and the mention, but I honestly didn't expect it. I add people who interest me for one reason or another, and I never expect it to be reciprocated. I guess I don't see it so much as a friendship as a "Hey everyone! This person is consistently pretty cool." And to me it doesn't mean I think anyone not on the list is not cool. I dunno. I used to worry about it and whether they would list me also, but now I don't care. I'm too old to go through the high school experience all over again. lol So add me or don't add me- I'll still think your writing is worth reading.

Which reminds me, there are a few people I need to add.

That's What Makes The Damn Buddy List GREAT!

The whole idea of it being "high school-ish" is what makes it so great!

More Buddy-List Drama

great article! Usually when you keep it to just buddies there is no drama, just wait until they get the Lover-List...WOW!

I can't believe you thought realitycheck was a stripper! ;-)

Blogger Party is starting to sound more and more like MySpace everyday...with posts like "Rate My Body" and comments like "Thanks for the Add!" How funny :)

Well I appreciate you not removing me. On another note, it's funny that you call me James, which is my real first name but a name I have never gone by and a name I kind of hated when I was younger. I have always been called by my middle name. It's okay that you do this. I mean how else would you refer to me. Just a casual observation.

I am sorry. I did not

I am sorry. I did not exactly assume she was a stripper, but I did ask after she said she worked in a strip club. I see her thumbnail, which is (how can I not be disrespectful because I like RC) kind of provacative and when she said that, I did kind of jump to a conclusion. It's funny because RC used to comment on my blogs when first got on bloggerparty, but I didn't really pay close attention to her pic. I was just like that's pretty cool that a woman is interested in my content. Then one day I looked closely and I was like Whoa.

I Have You in my buddylist !

Because I simply like to have buddies... LOL:) I think I probably have a LOT more in my buddylist that I add--- I do not take it to mean that those whom I add should add me. I just like people .. I put then IN. That's it.

It's nota big deal:) I simply add if they are interesting and I READ their latest blogs. Never regretted anyone YET anyway. Most of the active ones except "the rate my body" is on my buddy list. I don't even check who got me on theirs.

Checkin, ohh yes Brenda is admi and is on mine too

Yep I need that therapy!!!! I have this habit of adding everyone and that's an onsession I guess. It can also mean I NEED to have my repressed memories come alive to understand this weird conduct!!!! I recall when I was 5 years old, I had a crush names Pedro and he didn't look at me because I was chubby - I have to sue him!!!!

Thanks To You Miss RealityCheck
