If an lj user posts her rambling thoughts, and no one stops by to read them, do those thoughts actually exist?

I've made a promise to myself to start commenting on other people's fics.  I know how much I love getting comments.  It's ridiculous how much I love them, actually.  If I don't get many reviews, I feel sad.  (When I posted The Naked Truth at the yahoo group, no one reviewed it.  Not even the b-day girl it was written for.  I'm starting to think no one got the e-mail or something, because that's just weird)

Anyway.  So I've come to realize that I'm a HUGE hypocrite.  I get all excited about reviews for my own work, but practically NEVER take the time to tell other people I like their work.  Why do I do that?  It's so mean.  There's even been fics I absolutely love and I still don't write a simple 'That was lovely' comment.  So I'm going to start commenting.  On all the fics I read.  Seriously.  I mean it.  I just commented on two in the last hour.   I'M A CHANGED WOMAN, darn it.

It's kinda horrible that I'm deciding to do this now (and write a post about it) when I have a dh_exchange fic due TOMORROW.  I am a loser. 

On non-HP fandom related issues:
-'Life' on NBC, Wed. at 9.  Good show.  I get the feeling it's veeery loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo or something.  And as much as I love Damian Lewis, I can't help but to think of him as Richard Winters from Band of Brothers... which is probably a disservice to him.  Ah well.
-I feel fat.  (I mean, I know I'm overweight, but I'm starting to actually feel fat) I need to start exercising again.  On the plus side, after two months of not exercising, I'm still about the same weight.  Just not as toned or something.
-I'm loving this weather.  

Anyone got anything interesting to say/add?  Any deeply probing questions about yours truly?  Seriously.  This journal is all HP centric and it's making my dork show.  I need to fix this (though I'll probably be just as dorktastic).

On that note, I'll leave you with Dick Winters Damian Lewis again:


...he looks kinda like a Weasley.  Crap! Darn HP for infecting my brain!  *wanders off to do something NON-HP related*
