OK, I'm in, now I need FRIENDS!

I don't care who reads me at this point. I have little to hide. Anything I don't want the world at large to know I won't write about- Duh! (robbed a bank and axe murdered twelve people today, let me tell you how I felt about that... P.S. please don't mention it to the police...) Later, maybe I'll have certain people who I can say more private things to. Some folks do that, I'm told. Mostly, I'll write about the everyday junk that happens, and comment on other people's everyday stuff. Nothing philisophical will ever come out of me, I can tell you that right up front!
So, how do I get friends? I'm really nice, honest! Do I pick the people I know and just list them? Should I ask first? How do I get people to list me as a friend? What about the people who I know are on livejournal, and I want to talk to and hear from, but I don't know what name they use? So I guess what I'm saying is- "if you know me (or want to know me), tell me where you are and what you call yourself here!" Luke did- thanks Luke! I wouldn't have known otherwise!

Julie, you know I'll still love you even if you don't have any other friends, which I'm sure won't be true for very long.

I asked some of these same questions in my journal; you can read what people told me here (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=bibliofile&itemid=2043).

You can add anyone to your Friends list without asking them. (Remember, you watched me do it after we found whump?) Your Friends list does two things:

- Tells LiveJournal to let the other person read the more private (Friends-only) posts in your journal

- Lets you track whenever people add new stuff to their journals (by looking at your Friends page)

As for finding people, asking is good. Makes it so much easier to get answers, doesn't it? (And if you get some good answers, please let me know!)
