Yes, I'm still around. No, I'm not making locked entries. I've mainly been busy with school, work, house-hunting; and the 802.11b-based ISP I've been trying has been pretty much sucking, down more often than not. This means little online time for me overall, and hence not much in the way of LJ entries or hanging around chatting online like I used to do.
But I wanted to pop on long enough to make a comment I should've made long ago: the "Friends" category is Live Journal's, not mine. I used to just bookmark the journals of those whom I wished to keep up on, and go to their journal every so often to catch up on them. There're some with whom I still prefer to do this.
I eventually started using my "Friends" link as a way of catching up with several folks at once. Some folks may post so often, or so verbosely--or for whatever other reason cause me to prefer reading their journals seperately, rather than mixed with others'. Yet other folks may use their journals primarily for quizzes, surveys, and other trivialities which I consider more to be background noise than actual substance that even though I may still consider them otherwise to be friends, or at least interesting to talk to, I generally don't tend to read their journals at all.
And since I currently have no friends-locked entries anyway, it's not like anybody's missing anything by not being in my "Friends" list.
So, my "Friends" list has little to do with what I think of you as a person, despite the label LJ gave that grouping. Now that I've explained it, anyone who wishes to feel offended at being on my "Friends" list or not--and it's likely to fluctuate over time--are free to do so. But don't expect much sympathy.
Meanwhile, hullo to all those who do read my vapid tripe! :) I'll try to put up something interesting one of these times.
Good: In-N-Out burgers, Dawg, mutual wuv, crazy Finnish heavy metal cello quartets.
Bad: Actually, nothing's coming to mind. I'll work on it, I promise!
