napoleonherselfI find it incredibly harrassing when people add my LJ to their friends list and I don't want them to. I mean, this is MY journal, and THEY think they have some kind of right to add me and then read me RIGHT ON THEIR FRIENDS PAGE! This is horribly invasive, and, frankly, I think it's horribly unfair as well. If I don't want my journal to be on someone else's friends page, I should be able to take it off. After all, it's MY journal. Why should someone ELSE control whether THEY can see it on THEIR friends page?
...that, at least, is what a lot of LJers seem to think. Grow up, children. A) you don't get to decide who reads your PUBLIC entries. This is what is meant by the concept of PUBLIC. B) where the hell do you get off thinking YOU can control SOMEONE ELSE'S account? My, my, you certainly are important in your own little worlds, aren't you...
I can vaguely see the logic of removing or hiding friends-of who haven't been active in years, or even these "serial adder" types that apparently injure others so horribly by mass-adding LJfriends for odd reasons, if indeed the injury is so great that it troubles the poor victims night and day. But really. "OMG WHO ARE YOU I DO NOT KNOW YOU NOW I EDIT YOUR FRIENDS LIST AND REMOVE MYSELF FROM IT" Yeah. This, truly, is in the spirit of community. Bravo.
In other news, I might get to practice driving today! This summer I might get to work an easyish job for $9.50 an hour, $11 weekends, but I can't get to it if I don't GET MY LICENSE ALREADY... (and for perspective, my old job netted me $8.54 after my raise and cost-of-living increase, and poor ol' mom makes $8.50 at her BETTER-PAYING job. Tee hee.)
F33t.
