if I can take you boy, it just might throw this town

+ Cassie Hannah Murray as Matt Smith's companion? LOL, they must be trying to start wank. People whined because they thought Matt was too young and Hannah's nineteen ... still, if this happens, it might make me poke my head back into that fandom, like I did for Freema. :P

The random russian journals are bots which help people hack into your journal and the journals of people on your f-list so - not that you would - but don't friend them back.

I friends locked my journal just before I went to Thailand on my gap year, to stop my family from connecting my travel blog (which was also on LJ) with my personal journal - and so that, even if they DID find it, they wouldn't be able to read any of the important stuff.

I leave some of my posts unlocked - all my fic, some of my rants and political stuff. The vast majority of it is locked though, just because of the sheer amount of personal information I put on there. My journal is three years old and in the course of that time I've not only tracked my day-to-day life (so a stranger could find out significant amounts of my history) but some really closely guarded stuff as well. I mean, if someone WANTED to know a lot of stuff about me and they connected me to my journal and it wasn't friends locked, they'd be able to find out a HUGE amount about me just by reading it. The test is whether you'd be comfortable if someone you didn't really want knowing you (some creepy male acquaintance, for instance) found your journal, knew it was yours and read it.

(Also, yes - Hannah Murray would cause SO MUCH wank. They'd better NOT cast someone that young, though - seriously, DW would start looking like Hollyoaks with aliens and it would lose a bunch of its audience who would write it off as a tweens show. They need someone older than Matt Smith, to ballance it out, I think. Catherine Tate would have been brilliant if she'd stuck around...)

Yeah, I think the biggest worry for me is getting hacked or having my family and/or creepy people in RL read what's in here. Also, I suspect Livejournal is now on this kick where they want to be more like Facebook and all social network-like -- and I like LJ because it's NOT that way, you know? I really don't WANT my ex finding this like he found my Facebook. *eyeroll*

(LOL, I think 'Hollyoaks with aliens' might be the funniest comment I've read today.)

The way to prevent getting hacked is to answer the new (and therefore not there when you signed up) security question for changing email, and to also make sure any old emails associated with the account are secure and/or removed from LJ.

The way to prevent being found by really stupid means is to make sure you answered the "find by email" question NO.

Well, and in your case, possibly not have a username that is identifitastic. ;)

I lock stuff about family, work, and other people's stuff they might not want shared with the world at large. And of course, any time I'm being wanky so FW can't link.

*snort* My username is pretty identifiable, I know. At least my first name is shared by probably millions of people. I actually really want to buy a name change token, but then I worry about people not knowing who I am anymore. :P
