This entry is here to tell passersby that this is a "friends only" journal. You know, just in case you couldn't figure it out by the fact that you couldn't see the entries.

I keep thinking I should have a cool image here with some inspired font, but I get hung up on the terminology of "Friends Only Journal." And, as if that's not enough, I have Edward Norton's tone from Fight Club going through my head as I ask myself this question:

What image defines me as a person?

Clearly, it's impossible to show all sides of a personality and I'm tired of deciding which to show when forced to show only one at a time. It's exhausting.

If you've made it this far in the entry, there should be something significant I could say about you, but I don't know what it is. I tend to be longwinded and my bio doesn't lie---though the entries that delve into such things are emotionally draining and so not all that frequent. A little bit of it comes out in everything I say and do, though.

I've never added anyone who just added me out of the blue before. There's always been at least a little back-and-forth, whether in somebody else's journal or another site altogether. This is, of course, not counting those people I know in person. But I also get the feeling that those "out of the blue" people don't even take the time to read this entry, which confuses me.

So yeah---if you're confident I'm going to recognize your handle or something on your LJ page (and that I'll want to beLJfriend you) go ahead and add me. Otherwise, I'd appreciate a comment here just so I know who you be.
