A proem:
I have recently made this journal entirely friends-only, so as to be able to keep some kind of track of who is reading it. If you leave a comment, and you're an interesting stranger, I will almost definitely friend you back. If you're a real-life acquaintance, I probably will, too, though the chances are a little smaller.
If I do know you in real life, though, you are required to never respond to my anecdotes by saying, in earnest, "yeah, I know already, I read it in your livejournal."
