you know what the lamest thing ever is?
friends-only live journals. really it just seems so obnoxious. 'i say things that are too IMPORTANT and PERSONAL to be read by the general public and i'm too FRAGILE to take the chance of having my words come back and bite me in the ass. i have ENEMIES. people who are just waiting for me to say something they can use against me.' i know it's completely unfair of me to judge all these random people i know nothing about *because i can't read their journals*, but really. it just makes me mad. snotty little messages: 'this is friends only now. you're not welcome. i don't want any random strangers to get to know me and maybe fall in love with me without my ever knowing it. i want to eliminate that possibility from my life and make everyone's life that much less rich.'
it has occured to me that maybe i am similarly closed off in real life. i am a friends only live journal. of course THAT'S DIFFERENT. i feel like that's mostly not a decision i can make.
