New journal, but I've been on LJ since 2001. I don't update as often as I used to, but I keep up with my friends list. I'm very selective about who I add because after being on here so long I know what I want and don't want in an LJ friend.
I LOVE interaction and think it should go both ways. I comment often because I feel that usually if you like someone you almost always have something to say. I don't buy the whole 'I only comment when I feel like I have something to add' because in my experience that just means that you're not going to comment all that often. ;) I LOVE back and forth conversations, so if you don't reply to comments left on your entries we won't be a good fit. If you tend to disappearing for weeks/months at a time we're also not a match. If you're really private to the point where you won't share your name or what you look like please don't add me. I'm only looking to add women (or gay men!); it's just what I'm comfortable with. :-)
I update about life and love reading updates about life. I'm not into fanfiction or any LJ contests, so it's not what I want to read about. I LOVE reading about friends, family, goings-on, etc. I want to read about your job, your friends, your travels, etc.
I'm a great friend and am open to adding people who genuinely want to be friends. I don't want to be just another name on an already long list so I don't add people with a large (100+) friends list. I'm open to new friends but realize that sometimes the chemistry isn't there or people just aren't compatible. Even though I hate doing it I do make cuts and I'm perfectly okay with being deleted as well. No hard feelings. :) If I've deleted you it's because I felt we didn't mesh.
