This sounds like a fun meme...

I started out trying to post exactly once a day. That was hard, because good ideas and newsbits come in surges. So then I switched to making sure there was something posted every day (access permitting) and including deep content several times a week. Subscribing to feeds and news services, and reading my Friends Page, helps me find things worth sharing.

When I visited Russia on a class trip, we stopped at three cities: Moscow, Leningrad, and Tblisi. The last was my favorite.

In Mexico we visited Mexico City, Guanajuato, and Cuernavaca -- of which Cuernavaca was my favorite.

As for friending people, my policies have shifted a bit over time. I started out not doing that at all. My audience was growing slowly. Since my LJ mentors had pointed out that friending people makes an audience grow faster, I tried it, and they were right. So now I tend to friend most people who friend me, even if I don't know them. Basically I skim their Profile and Journal as samples. If there's anything remotely interesting and it's legible, I'll friend them. If the LJ is inactive, the writing is illegible, there is just nothing I'd ever want to read, or it's Friends Only, then I generally won't friend them. (I prefer to avoid FO journals because I miss the stupid lock dingbat and I hate finding a good post that I can't share.)

I understand that there are many valid reasons to lock a journal or posts. It just doesn't mesh well with how I use LJ. If I don't notice it, then it's not a problem. If I find myself repeatedly being frustrated with a journal or community because it has stuff that I want to share but it's locked, then I'm likely to take it off my friends page because I don't need that frustration. Other people use LJ very differently, so for them it may not be an issue.

May I ask what made you think of me as vegetarian?
