Let the next life off the hook

Jun 20, 2005 23:03

I didn't figure myself for one of those sappy types who uses song lyrics to express their ideas... oh, who am I kidding? I'm totally that type, at least when it comes to journaling. In english class, actually, I think I made a decent effort to try my hand at original thought. But I was always better at analyzing than I was at creating ( Read more... )

Welcome to LJ!

Thankee kindly! I have no illusions of the talented prolificacy of the many MMM stalwarts here, but I do enjoy a new toy.

I friended you, because you're pretty.

I'm healing fish, by the way. Nice to meet you.

shutterbug1 June 22 2005, 03:46:52 UTC

*gulps* *blushes* The fish called me pretty?!?!

Um, nice to meet you, too? Didn't I sic a mob of bigotted villagers on your monster alter-ego just a week or so ago? I thought we were past polite introductions.

I'll take it, though, and I'm friending you back.

Thanks for friending me!

Glad I'm not the only other LJ newbie around.

We can be new and shiny together. Or not. You know... um... just thought I'd offer. No biggie. In fact... forget I said anything. Yeah. Alone is cool... I like alone.

violet4120 June 22 2005, 07:27:58 UTC

Aw, you don't have to be alone. We can be new and shiny together. Just not...TOGETHER together, you know? 'cause I'm seeing someone. ;)

shutterbug1 June 22 2005, 07:47:35 UTC

Neat-o keen! Oh, and totally not TOGETHER together. Just good buds. And on that happy note, I'm going to catch some zzz's.

Shutterbud! We picked the same format and colors for our journals. Maybe I'll go change mine now... I'm not exactly new to LJ, but this particular journal is new. So...hi!

shutterbug1 June 22 2005, 14:02:24 UTC

Hiya, petal-head! Don't worry about changing your format/color - I like to be like everyone else. Oh, and I'll probably change mine again soon enough. I was just experimenting until I found a combo that didn't give me a headache.

And why didn't you friend me? I'm friending you! So there. hmph.

petunia846 June 22 2005, 14:07:56 UTC

*hangs head in shame*

I don't know how to friend people. :(

You go to the user's profile (the info you can get to by clicking the little person icon next to their name). In there, there's a short little blue bar in the middle of the screen. Click the button on the left, the little person icon with a + sign. It will ask if you want to add the person as a friend; click the button. Now, when you want to catch up on people's entries, you just click your "friends" link, and everyone's most recent entries will show up. Also, you can lock entries so that only people on your flist can read them (that way, if your mom stumbles upon this one, she can't read those entries).

Wow, I'm learning so much today! Thanks guys.

Another note. No one will ever know if you simply reply to to your own post. You have to respond to someone's specific comment in order for them to be notified by e-mail.

So, you're welcome.

petunia846 June 22 2005, 14:46:07 UTC

Ahh, see...I didn't even think about that. So complicated. God I'm bored.
