Some people like to see shit flung around for reasons I don't understand. If it's locked to a close circle (which admittedly defeats the purpose) who are trusted and who you know have a sense of humour, then yeah. But when it's open for the world to see, isn't it sort of like saying "hey I want to see fandom wars! Start yours here!"...?
O_o........? I dungeddit, but obviously it's just me, and people will do what people will do. I sit back on my heels and watch the fireworks.

I want new friends on LJ.
I've added back a few people who were defriended back in the April/May (?) defriending spree and never got friended back afterwards *. There are more people in my "friend of" than "friends". I don't add people back because, well, I don't know why they added me in the first place! I don't know who half of them are, they never comment, so I don't add them back.
Mind you, I'm not hoping to become one of those people who have a couple of hundred or even a thousand people friended. Because I do try to read all my friends' entries and there's no way I can cope with that many people - this is not to say those who do that neglect their friends, I just have no idea how they do it. I just want to make some new friends that's all.
* Some people actually defriended me at that point, and so of course we never added each other back. I think they never cared enough to read the reason of the defriending, which I posted a little while before the actual act, and so didn't realise it was a mass-defriending solely because of my personal problems, instead of "I don't like you anymore". Or they just liked to have the same number of "friends" and "friend of" on their userinfo page. This leads me to think it's really no great loss on my part that they're gone.

I love Tezuka. Those who don't love him are missing out on so much. Even if you think he is just toast, there is so much fun in toast!mockery.

This is the 4th year I am living with my sister and the nth time I ask myself how I can put up with this.
