thefridayfive... (OMG, I actually remembered)
1. How long have you had your LiveJournal/blog?
Urm... *checks* I've had this one for roughly 2 years, 7 months and 23 days. But this is my third online journal (second LJ).
2. What do you consider to be the main purpose of your LiveJournal/blog?
Annoying people with my pointless ramblings? ;-) No, really, I suppose it's just to share a bunch of fannish and sneezing-related thoughts and fics with people who actually read/like the same! Though lots of my RL bleeds through as well.
3. If you could change something about your personal blogging style, what would it be?
Less bitching. Sure it's good therapy to rant (and as I don't have health insurance this is certainly more cost effective than a therapist) but y'all shouldn't have to read it as though I were some angsty, complaining teen or something :-)
4. What are your criteria for adding someone to your friends list/blog roll?
On my other blogs, my criteria is if I like the content of their journals (similar interests, fics/art I like). On this one, however, it's mostly others who share my fetish. If someone adds me as a friend, I'll probably add right back unless I really don't know the person at ALL and/or their journal is blank/full of things I'm not interested in.
5. Name one thing that you've never before written about in your LJ/blog.
OMG what an interesting question! *thinks hard* I don't really go into a lot of RL personal specifics (though more than I probably SHOULD but my paranoia has slipped due to convenience and laziness). And I don't talk nearly as much about current events/news and politics as I do in RL. I tend to think of this blog as something that distracts me from the Hell that's the country/world at the moment as it slowly falls apart. I'll post about things once in a while, but I tend to like to keep this journal as a refuge, distraction, and comfort. For example, the missing VCU girl whose body was identified today. Hits WAY too close to home, that, and I've been following that closely, especially as her family lives about 20 minutes from my house. But I've never mentioned it until now on my LJ.
