I told myself that I would never make this journal friends only, mostly because I didn't care about people's opinions of the things I said.
However, since the spring of 2005, I have started making locked entries. The reasons for this are deeply personal, but if you know me, you probably have already heard the story before and/or had the misfortune of sharing the events that led to this decision. If you get to know me and should it come up, I will probably tell you. Otherwise, I will leave it here.
My policy for adding people is only that I know you from somewhere - be it real life, through a forum, through web design, etc. Common interests are a plus, because I don't want to bore you. I use this journal as an outlet for personal thoughts as well as random outbursts of fangirling.
I sometimes make several short, pointless posts. Sorry if that bothers you, it's just what I do. However, I will never clog your friends page with pictures because I know the value of the LJ cut. I don't tend to make tons of comments, but that doesn't mean I don't check my friends page, because I do. Several times a day, even. I'm just shy and I don't tend to say much a lot of the time.
If you understand the things I have written above, and don't mind the things I have warned about, by all means, please comment on this post to be added. <3
