I'm not one to keep secrets from the world, however I feel that the time has come to perhaps restrict and restrain such easy access to my life since I do litter this journal with personal and sometimes incriminating subject matter. It probably wouldn't be wise to name names and then leave this whole blurb wide open to the reaches of tattlers and those who are quick and easy to judge. What this really is, of course, is an excuse to have a snazzy friends only banner.
comment to be added
I'm very open to meeting new people and I'll most likely definitely add you if I've seen you around a community I frequent, if you're friends with my (other) friends, or if you just radiate some sort of awesome field surrounding your comments. Sharing interests is nice but ultimately not necessary if we just happen to connect in that way.
