For a variety of reasons, my journal will be friends-only from now on. Also, all previous unlocked entries will very shortly be friends-only. Sorry lurkers.

I don't add everyone, but if you comment with a little introduction with details on how you found me or how we know each other, that definitely ups your chances.

I've been thinking a lot about how much of myself I let out into the world. There are things in this journal that I wrote before anyone from my real life knew it existed. Now that the entire world is Google-able, I'm not as comfortable with that level of exposure.

Does this mean I'm becoming a grown-up?

Love,
Beth

ps - I also did my first mass friends-cut ever. If you haven't updated in ages, have gotten a new journal or if I just plain can't remember where I know you from, I removed you from my list. If I did any of this in error and you'd like to pop in with, "Hey, I'm So and So! From such and such!" I would appreciate it.

So, the 7th grade girl in me wants to like, audtion for a spot on your LJ. Even though, I really don't think I'm someone who is cut-worthy at all (I think you KNOW who i AM) But seriously, funny. I read this and was all like, "uh ma gah. Beth. Remember. That time. We had lunch. And talked about boys in the theatre department. Boys!! That binds us for life."

Curses. This means it won't pop up on my RSS reader every now and again, forcing me to come into LJ for my fix.

Oh, and I'm So-And-So, from Such-And-Such. So on and so on.

I have been friends-only pretty much forever. Originally it was because I didn’t want my parents reading my journal and lecturing me about my soul being corrupted (true story: when my dad found out I was hanging out with—gasp--non jews at NaNoWriMo events he lectured me for two hours. He told me they would corrupt me and ruin me and it would all be for the worse. Yeah.)

Mostly now it’s because I try to be honest in my journal entries, a kind of honesty that sometimes is not comfortable sharing with people you see everyday. It frees me, a little. I like that.

I don't post a ton due to the logistics (read: busy-ness) of moving very soon miles and miles away, but i thoroughly enjoy reading your lj and would love to continue to do so.

I'm Steegness' mom, and I remember meeting you! I find you interesting, funny, and quite the great photographer. Ask Steegness--I try to keep track of his friends--guess I'm just a nosy-posy, but I hope you'll let me stay. I worry about you when I don't see a post for a while.

Hello Beth,
My name is Heidi. I am a member of the WW group you just joined. I too am an artist and just started dabbling in photography. It seems you and I have a lot in common. Add me, please?

I've been on WW for under a year and can relate to your journey. I've lost 30lbs to date. Still a little ways to go.

Thanks!
Heidi

Hi Heidi-

Thought I'd added you ages ago but somehow it slipped my mind. You're on my FL now. I look forward to getting to know you!

Beth

Hi! I saw you in a WW community. I love having new friends who are also on the program and thought I'd add you!

Hey there. I have seen you mentioned on a few of our common lj friends' pages a number of times and this time I popped over to see for myself. I have added you to my flist so you can see if you would be interested in adding me back. This is a new lj, I started this new one to start anew because my old one was made for me by an ex. I do not post often, but I do read every post my friends make.

I noticed on the New York group that you go back to Pittsburgh? I'm a transplanted Pittsburgher as well... I moved here five months ago or so.

Yep, I moved here in January 2006. I love it so much, but sometimes it's nice to go home and see the folks. I'm adding you.
