I more than understand! I think you've got two options:

1. If you're used to poking around LJ, I'd suggest getting a free, basic account under some name linked to some free mail account. Then you could friend & read (you wouldn't have to post anything on your journal).

2. (recommended) Visit my journal at http://tarotgal.insanejournal.com I'm mirroring this journal there and not friends-locking any entries there so you'd be able to read 'em all without any problems.
