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

[juliebata]

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!

Welcome from a fellow Liz Phair fan, Onion reader, and LJ newbie. I found out about you through bibliofile

To answer one of your questions; so far, several people have added you to their Friend list. The way *you* define your own Friend list is to go to any page with the left-hand menu bar, and click "Your Friends" under the "Your Settings" category (you have to be logged in to do this).

A good way for a new person to get seen is to see if there are any communities set up for your interests (just click on any of the interests you've defined on your userinfo page and look at the top of the results page - I notice there are *two* Liz Phair communities).

This is a fun place to explore. Hope you like it as much as I do!

In explore mode...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm puttering about in here, finding folks I know (with Karen's help!), and adding them. We had fun looking at interest groups, and trying to think of things that few people are into. I know I'm going to get hooked on LJ!
I plan to unpack my CD's today, so I'll be able to think of lots more artists that I like, and put them in my box of interests. I don't listen to Liz Phair a lot these days, but she's definitely a long-term favorite of mine.
