Why this journal is now friend-locked by default.
Over time these journal entries have become more personal, instead of just poems and snippets of stories and ramblings about books. I like sharing my thoughts, concerns, and musings, but I prefer not to share the more personal ones with the entire internet. I realized that I was f-locking every entry I wrote, and thought maybe, perhaps, it would be easier to just make that the default. Feel free to friend me -- I do still post open entries occasionally. If I friend you back, it's likely because I've visited your journal and decided you sound like a real person instead of a spam-bot. I am often away from the internet for long stretches of time, so if I don't get back to you right away, try not to feel insulted. I'm probably not posting anything then anyway.
