Immature? That's me, baby.

So there's this person who asked to be taken off my friends list. I declined. She said I'd have to answer for it [or words to that effect]. Then she craeted a new LJ. Which I found. And friendified, yes.

Immature of me? Probably, yes, but when I get threatened and talked down to, I tend to get pissy, and when I'm pissy, I act petty. And once again, if you have a public journal, you should be prepared for people to read it. I read LJs through my friends page, and I refuse to add yet another link to my collection just because you can't handle knowing that I read your journal.

And yes, actually, I do act like this in real life. You know why? Because I was raised in the conviction that you're allowed to speak your mind, and that if people are rude to you and [willfully?] misinterpret your words, you are not obliged to be considerate of their feelings anymore. As for my net-time, I'm online at work, okay? I spend about an hour in short breaks doing private things, and a couple of hours after work chatting and surfing. In total, It's not really that much.

And I do have friends. I count my net friends as real friends, because they are, and I may not have many of them, but at least I know they're real friends, who like me for who I really am.

Also note, Oh Exalted One, that anyone can see people's friends lists, okay? I didn't have to pose as your friend to get your new addy, I just looked at their profiles.

I agree with you. *shakes head*

C'mon, if people are *reading* my journal, I'm happy.

And adding someone to a friend's list means you think their journal is interesting enough to bother with. Hey, it's a compliment! Geesh.

If you really really don't want people to read your livejournal, you have the option to make your posts private, or allow only people (or even only certain people) who are on your friends list to read it.

So I completely don't get that.
