Used semagic on my last post and you're all right--it's awesome!
I can understand flocking personal stuff, but I don't--not because I want my life spread all over the internet so much as because I hardly ever post personal stuff. But if I ever did get to the point where yeah, I started talking about friends and family more, I'd lock it as you do.
Ha! It's funny about the user info page--at the very very beginning I hardly ever looked at it, but when I realized that's where you look and see who you've added or who's added you, I started looking at it a whole lot more. Then I began to wonder, do people REALLY keep checking this page like I do out of some paranoia that someone's going to add them or take them off? And . . . am I paranoid of the same thing? I'm not, really, but I am terribly curious about it.
It's interesting to see who adds you--and who drops you. Also, some people who I don't have friended but have read (either fic or meta posts, etc) and am interested in but haven't yet spoken to sometimes friend me, and I tend to like that because I don't have to be the one to approach and say hey, I'm interested in you. It shouldn't be a big deal but I feel weird about it with the way it's set up on lj. It definitely incites way too much drama.
Anyway, on a completely different note, I saw Game of Thrones at a half priced book store and went ahead and gave it a shot. It was a good, fun read--thanks so much for pushing me over the edge on him; I was really so burned out on fantasy! Now I'm eager to read the rest of the series. (The only thing I really really hated about it was the lack of strong female characters. That's one thing I love about GGK.)
