FRIENDS ONLY
Friends Only banner by me; if for some odd reason you WANT to use it, please ask first
Edited 3/29/05.
Wow. Didn't that all make me sound like a pretentious bitch. I suspect I was rather pissed off that day. Changed because of those reasons, and to edit a few inaccuracies.
1. I might as well warn you that my language is not always sweet, sugary, and polite. No. I can speak crudely. Can - and do. Ask me not to use the language around you if you feel uncomfortable about it.
2. Grammar. Spelling. Punctuation. If you are lacking in these, don't friend me. Really. I will grow to despise you. Run away to your little friends who share your bad language skills if you can't bother to pick up a dictionary or a copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves (a book I highly reccomend for anyone doubtful about their punctuation skills).
3. Stories. Or, to a much smaller extent, art. I may post some. I don't want just glowing praise, I want some criticism. Of course, if I somehow manage to write a perfect story, you can praise me while I preen. I won't mind.
4. Role-Playing. I like it. A lot. Want to role-play with me over AIM? Ask me. I don't do pointless smut, however.
5. Anime. I like some of the series. You may find them immature, but I like them, and while I don't expect you to feign interest, I'd like you to respect my opinion. So don't go on about how "stupid" or "gay" they are, because I will turn a deaf ear. And speaking of "gay"...
6. Politics. I am a liberal. I am a bigtime liberal democrat. I am so far left I can't even see the people in the middle. ...okay, that may be an exaggeration. But! If you don't want to hear the occasional rant about presidents, tell me and I will mark them accordingly. I respect your opinion, please respect mine.
7. Trolls. That's you especially, Croq_pot. Double for you. Friend me, and I will ban you and ignore you. Everyone else can skip this.
8. Chatspeak (i.e. "u" for you, "l8r" for later, etc.). I despise it. It makes me want to kill. Please. Don't use it around me. Don't use excessive caps or exclamation marks, either, because it hurts my eyes. And please do not spam.
9. My life. Admittedly, it is not the greatest life in the world. In fact, it is EXTREMELY boring. I'll post about it occasionally. You don't have to read it.
10. Last, but not least: My privacy. I do not feel obligated to tell you every detail about myself. I do not feel like telling you, for example, where I live. I may not even want to acknowledge it, but that's a whole other rant. So...don't ask.
If you want to friend me, comment and I'll reply with a yes (doubtful I'd say "no", but if I hate you... [and you'd know it if I did])
Have a nice day.
