LJ friends
I've surfed around in LJ today, finding a number of people I know (and some I assume I know, even though I can't make out who they are). A bit scary, finding stark accounts of how lousy some people feel, that I didn't have a clue about. I'm not sure it is for the best always to know so much about each other. Or maybe I'm just a coward.
I'm debating with myself who I want to add as friends. It's a scale from people I know and like so and so, to people I know and love or people I know and don't care for very much. And some people I know and like but who write only boring stuff and who I never meet IRL. Add them as friends or not? What are the pros and cons? Hmm. Not yet, in any case.

Re:
You were actually the first MF person I thought of adding, but then I stepped back and hesitated when I realized I didn't know whether I wanted to add *all* MF people I know or not. And since I didn't know that, I didn't add anyone. Yeah, I'm used to reading online journals and I know they're used as catharsis (and outlets for general whining, who doesn't love a good whine?). I'm just not sure I'm comfortable with knowing those sides in people I've known for a long time.
LJ is a very, very public place, and I don't think I'd want to bare myself here. Private email's a different thing.
Anyway, of course I'm adding you back. It's a pity we don't meet more often, but, well, I'm lazy and isolated and life is so full of people there's no way you can stay in touch with them all. More's the pity.
