*Ding*! You got it -- she didn't leave any way for non-friends to get through to her, that's the problem exactly. In fact, in going back I realized she never made a "today I'm friends-only" post at all; just a comment that she was thinking about it. Then, yesterday, another post saying she's locked down friends only posts even more, which I'm not sure how you do that.

I'm not in the habit of calling people dumbasses, though (well, except politicians and criminals, but I repeat myself). Although we do share some friends in common, I have to accept the possibility that she may just not want any more friends, and/or that something I've written has pissed her off and she'd rather not hear from me. Truly, I'm not sure why I'm still receiving posts from her, if she's friends only -- maybe this "lock down" thing she spoke of will be the end of that. And maybe I should just let it go, rather than let it bother me, when I already have plenty of other people on my own flist.

I'm of a mind to just let it go ... first of all, a part of me keeps insisting there's some sort of simply mistake that would explain the whole thing (I'm a closet optimist! I admit it!). Second, I've got way too much to do already and all these other great friends -- I figure if she doesn't want to keep track of me, there's no point in making a fuss about it.
