「 ｡ read rules and comment to be added ｡ 」
❶ We must have at least one or two things in common. I'd personally prefer it if we are familiar with a couple of subjects. It's not really a must, but it'll help for the both of us to talk often and spark some sort of a conversation. You can go to my profile for that. :)
❷ You must respect my interests. Obviously, not everyone is going to like the same things. If there's something I like, but you don't like, please respect and be tolerable about it. I'm willing to respect your tastes if you respect mine, so I don't want any flaming or bashing on my journal because of them.
❸ Comment once in a while. Don't add me just to fill up your friends list, and then ignore me after that. If we're going to be friends, then I want us to stay in touch with each other, so please don't forget to come by my journal every now and then and drop at least one comment or two.
❹ Friending is extremely selective at the moment. And for a good reason too. I've been through A LOT on livejournal; drama after drama, it's caused me to loose a lot of friends and break a lot of my trust and bonds with people, so I'm extremely touchy and sensitive about having an enormous f-list, not to mention I'm even picky now about who I want to read my journal (and I don't want just everyone to read my journal) - that's why I won't add just anyone anymore. But please don't let this discourage you from friending me - who knows? We might actually hit it off. ;)
