Hahaha!
Sorry, this journal is friends only!
So, you were browsing the Internet and you found this journal whose ID is
eowyn2995. Perhaps you thought, "Hey, I know only one person who would have that sort of user name," and so you clicked on the link, read
eowyn2995's user info page, and thought, "Yeah, this is definitely Chris!"
Ahh, I knew I shouldn't have registered with such an obvious ID that screams, "LORD OF THE RINGS IS MY EVERYTHING!" Goshdarnit. I should have chosen something that makes no sense. Like "chockawhocka." Or "igloo_muffin_sex." I mean, if you found a LiveJournal whose ID was "igloo_muffin_sex," would you immediately associate that journal with some Chris that you happen to know?
But anyway. Yes. Congratulations, Reader, you found my LiveJournal. Good for you. Now go outside and play baseball or something. Anything to get that Vitamin D throbbing through your veins, because you're sure as heck not getting any by staying inside and reading my LiveJournal.
Aww, really, I'm not that mean. I've changed a lot of things around here, and most of them are in your favour.
For one, I'm less exclusive: a significantly larger percentage of my posts will no longer be friends-only. Before 3rd Sept. 2005, most of my public posts were cr*p about changing icons; all of the meat was shielded from the world's eye. Now, I'll be sharing more of my thoughts (yeah, as if they're really marvellous and original enough to make people want to read 'em) on the public forum, although the personal/identifiable content will still be friends-only.
For another, I'm now allowing anonymous comments, although I would like people to identify themselves. If you want to comment and you have an LJ ID, please comment under that ID. If you want to comment and you don't have an LJ ID, please identify yourself in some way so that I know who you are.
Finally... well, that's about it.
But hey! These changes are better than nothing - right?
Ehh, whatever. You've spent far too much time reading random cr*p that you probably didn't even want to know. Ciao mein.
Now, if you want to friend me...
...go ahead and friend me.
Oh! Did you want me to friend you back? Well, Reader, you ought to do me the courtesy of letting me know:
- you can e-mail me and let me know,
- you can leave a comment on this post, or
- you can sit around and wait for me to notice that you've friended me and to realise that hey - maybe I should friend you back.
The real options are (a) be active [#s 1 or 2] and (b) be passive [#3]. You can't be both. So choose. The ball's in your court.
A note: I advise that you be active. I'm not so addicted to LJ that I regularly check my user info to see if someone has friended me.
Another note: As many of my entries are personal (the most personal, however, are either private or locked to very close friends), I will not friend you if I do not know you personally. However, I may not friend you even if I do know you personally. I consider a number of factors for every decision I make, including friending people, so don't bother being offended if I don't friend you. The main reason is probably my not knowing you well enough, which isn't entirely your fault.
