Haha. Here’s a hint from Andrew’s page: ”…and (I) enjoy many outdoor and creative activities.” Gee, maybe that’s why he’s been around since 10/2006 and hasn’t reached 7500 yet. That’s my excuse too: been here since 12/2009 and barely at 3900. Also, the few followers I have garnered along the way have used up their lurve caps. I guess. Or maybe the awful truth is that I’m really not that interesting. I don’t ask a lot of questions and I’m pretty clinical in my answers. Mostly, I lurk. I follow a few people I find interesting. If I changed those things, I imagine I’d probably do better. Maybe finally get myself a red award. Always wanted one of those. I also covet the mysterious Pilgrim, Robot Crush and Cake in the Frizzer awards, but have no clue how one gets them. I’ll gladly trade 119 Perfecto-fishes for one of each, if anybody is interested.
I don’t like spending a lot of time inside at the keyboard. I’ll have plenty of that in my dotage. I spend way too much time writing for the Internet Archive and Wikipedia as it is. About 6 to 12 hours a week when I’m in port. Those two sites, including a couple of hours on Fluther, are my favorites. I might spend more time here if there were more serious discussions on history, literature, geography or pre-1960s film. But there isn’t and I’ve always felt that this was a shame because there are so many intelligent people here. I keep looking in here basically because the people are relatively well behaved, even under disagreement in an election year. I’ve seen way too much nastiness in other places to waste time in them. Life is waaaaay too short for that.
Like all people everywhere the Flutherites prefer mostly small talk and socializing. Can’t fault them for that. Politics can get interesting, if you’re into it. Me, not so much anymore. It’s also a painfully slow site, not a lot of activity here. Small population, as well, which provides a kind of small town intimacy, but the downside is low activity. Good luck on your quest for more lurve (I hear it makes the world go ‘round). Here’s a couple for ya.
