6. Two words come to mind: "entitled" and "needy." No, make that three - there's "whiny," too.
You're the kind of person that makes me wish LJ would use the term "readers" instead of "friends." I've dealt with people like you in the past, and guess what? You're really fucking annoying.
I used to be just like the person you've described. I was still new to LJ then, and thought it would be rude not to friend people back when they friended me. Before long I had (what I consider to be) a big friends list.
There was no way to read everyone's entries unless I wanted to spend hours out of every day online. Plus, a lot of my new "frends" just weren't very interesting. A lot of them were boring, in fact. We shared the same fandom, but that was it, and usually they didn't even post anything worth reading about fandom. Then there were those who were just plain crazy, stupid, annoying or illiterate.
The ended up skimming my friends list, only pausing to read the most interesting stuff, which was usually posted by the same small group (maybe 10-15 people). Eventually I created a reading filter for just them, plus my favorite communities (the A-list), and most of the time that was all I bothered to read. On most days, I never got beyond the A-list filter because I have a life and I don't spend it all on LJ.
If she's not commenting on your posts, it's probably because your posts just aren't interesting enough to comment on. Maybe you just turn her off - that you're so desperate for validation from an popular, talented online acquaintance, and so bitter that you're not getting it suggests that you don't have much of a life. I'd back away slowly, too.
Even if her friends list is small, suggesting that she has an obligation to comment on your posts because *you* manage to reply to everybody on your friends list is bullshit. As for her resolution, notice that it's to get to know SOME of her friends list better, not everyone.
If you were cool and intersting, she'd already like you and comment on your posts. You're not, and that's not her fault. Get the fuck over yourself.
