Because, really, having a journal with the kind of private information that I like to post available to the general public is really stupid. It's even got me in trouble a couple times. Go figure.
I mean, I'm sure 95% of you are my friends, people I know and love. But, when I think that anyone at all could point their web browser to jmdbcool.livejournal.com and see this thing? Family? Teachers? Employers? When I think about it, having anything at all about myself left public is a stupid idea.
I friendified all my back entries with a nifty little program called
HideJournal. I'm now encouraging you, my friends, to do the same. It takes 2 minutes. In retrospect I should have done this a long time ago.
I'll make the obligatory "Friends Only, Comment To Be Added" post after this one, or you can comment here until I put that one up if for some reason you're a regular reader and I haven't added you yet. I'm not being real strict here-- I'll still make custom friended posts if I want-- I pretty much just have to know who you are and I'll add you. Fair enough? Kay. See you all later.
