I've found myself talking more and more about my personal life, thus the Friends Locking. If I gave you my LJ account because we met at a convention, or one of my LJ friends recommended you friend me, or if you've seen my comments elsewhere and it sounds like we have shared interests---just comment and I will add you. I'm not too picky about friending people....I just don't want everything I type to be out on the inter-webs.
