More on befriending
Aug. 27th, 2007 09:52 pmI'm a pretty friendly person. If I know you at all, you're very welcome to befriend me. I don't always befriend back (in the technical LJ sense) because I don't care to have hundreds of posts on my friends page and because I like to know people a little better before giving them access to my flocked posts.
But just now I discovered that I had been befriended by an LJ user I'd never, ever heard of.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
2chicken has one meme on their LJ and no other information. Creepier still, their friends list consisted of just me and one other person, who also had no idea who they were (actually that's how I came across this person).
So I've banned them from commenting and I won't be befriending back. If you're someone who really wants to get to know me, here's what to do. Get another LJ. Use it. Make comments on my posts. Review my stories and I'll love you forever. And then ask if you can befriend me. I'm sure I'll say yes.
Edited to clarify: That final paragraph was aimed at one person only:2chicken. If you're someone who already befriended me, there is no need to apologise! Every so often I check my profile and click on the names I don't recognise. Usually, as soon as I get to your LJ I realise exactly where you know me from and there's no problem at all. Or if you've commented on my posts that's good too. Or if you've ever been to one of moonette1's parties that certainly entitles you to befriend me.
