You don't have to explain yourself. If you like my profile or saw a comment or a public post in the lj-verse, feel free to come on in. I friend back just about anybody, but am especially interested in people in my area. If I've friended you, I must have found something that you said interesting and I want to know more. : )
For security purposes, this journal is friends-only, not to be confused with discouraging new friends. I just like to know who's reading.
