Friends Will Be Friends. . .
. . .And there ain't no friends of mine.
By this egregious misappropriation of both Queen and The King I mean to say that although I am wealthy with friends, I have no LiveJournal Friends.
And I want to know what you all think about this arrangement.
When I set up this Journal (at the request of a friend) I thought "wow, if I list folks as friends, someone can just click on this little linky and go read all their crap. That sucks." And so I named no friends.
Of course, some of you cats keep locked journals anyway, and best I can tell 90% of the people looking at the stuff in my journal (based on reader commentary) don't have LJ pages themselves (ahem: Bethie, John, Shana, Dave). These outsiders don't post commentary, preferring to stuff my email with crosslinked discussion which I then have to sort out on my own time, and can't even archive here (you bastards.)
So do you folks want me to list you as friends? Or do you care? Or would you prefer not to be one degree of separation from someone you don't even know I've ever met? Feel free to post, email, or phone in your replies. You know, like usual.
