Obligatory first post

It probably should have occurred to me to do this last night when I added hundreds of people to my reading list, but this is an experiment... Among other things, I have no idea how people with huge flists cope but I wanted to see what it would be like--like, if my head would explode--so I just added whoever the hell I wanted, and a few of their

Your head won't explode, as long as you're good at skimming. ;)

I think livejournal is raising it to an art form *g*.

(It's also interesting to me how quickly people notice being friended, because I wouldn't ordinarily notice that for a while unless I happened to be looking at my userinfo page for some reason).

Hahaha. I was just deleting an old journal of a friend from my friendslist (she's had a new username for about 7 months now, so I figured it was time to clean house) and then I started wondering if I should friend-back anyone ...

Seriously, I check my user info something like once a month or less.

I hope your head doesn't explode. Those stains never come out. ::nods wisely::

Hmmm.

Interesting.

Hmmm.

Interesting.

*laughs* For a second I thought you were checking the user info on this lj, and I was just like, huh? But yes.

Well this looks like an interesting experiment... ;)

*nods* I'm glad you posted this because..well...I was worried you might be a troll. It's happened before. *shrug*

*waves back* Good luck with the beginnings of the grand experiment.

Thanks! And, someone else posted wondering if this was a bot journal and I was like, I'm not sure it would even be possible for a bot to generate unique interests--well, other than as random strings of words--but I don't know enough about programming to be certain. I also have never gotten the whole troll thing, because if it's obvious you're one how effective a troll can you really be? As apathocles said this morning after "looking at the interests, I'm (fairly) sure that this person isn't a troll. Or maybe they are, and they're just good at hiding it (which would kind of defeat the purpose)." *g*

Hello! *waves back* I check my userinfo compulsively, so, yes.
