Friending Policy

[blamebrampton]

Hi Friends, LJ Users, Nigerian Scammers, Russian Bots and sundry others!
Thanks for taking a moment to read my sticky post on friending.

On the whole, there's no need to friend me if you just want to read my fics, since they are posted unlocked. In fact, most of my locked posts are me ranting about the state of the world (usually from a politics or media slant) or some such.

Generally, I am a ready friender. If you friend me and you have entries in your livejournal or have commented on some of my posts, you can usually expect to be friended back, unless:
* There are no entries in your LJ.
* I do not recall us ever having 'spoken' online (given how selective my memory is, you should probably assume this.)
* Your LJ is written wholly in a language I do not speak (pretty much anything that is not English, or French or Italian (both of which I speak poorly), or German, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Welsh or Irish (all of which I have a smattering of and enough reference books to get the gist.) (Though if your journal is in actual Latin as opposed to Lorem Ipsum, I will probably immediately friend you on principle.)
* Your journal consists of several entries a day concerning My Little Pony, school and whether your hair looks better in plaits, pigtails, or with a fringe pouf. You are probably adorable, but should not be subjected to my occasional flocked rants.

SO, if you've friended me (thanks!) and I've not friended you back, just drop a brief line saying 'Excuse me, oh vague and neglectful one, could you friend me back please?'

I can't guarantee that I will ever have time to be a good lj friend, but I will try and provide you with amusing content and I always try to read my whole flist. Well, the stuff before the cut at any rate.

(Though if your journal is in actual Latin as opposed to Lorem Ipsum, I will probably immediately friend you on principle.) I'd friend you on that comment alone, if we weren't already.

Oh my, you had to say My Little Pony. Because it unfortunately requires that I link you to this. Trust me. :)

'WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!'

Oh my ribs ... they hurt! That was the wrongest and funniest thing I have seen in a long time! Thank you!

I've not seen Star Trek, nor Angels and Demons, but I find myself pining for this film that someone should make. I'm full of MLP hate, and shudder at the thought of the day my dear Viola will attach herself...

When I was little, my Dad told me that Barbies were vampire Sindy dolls (Sindy was the European Barbie) and that they came alive at night and sucked the life out of your other toys. I never liked Barbies, you could try something similar.

Of course, I also put ALL of my dolls into the chest every night and closed the lid carefully in case there were other vampires, only teddy and my dog toy could be trusted! So you run the risk of mild disturbance ...

Thank you! I will definitely file this 'Barbie' tactic away for future use.

Me, I had one of those monkeys with the cymbals. No matter where I put it, I knew it was plotting...with teeth!

Those things are evil! I am convinced that toy manufacturers only bring them out after receiving large envelopes of money from child psychologists!

Oh dear God, you've killed me.
And now the joke I was going to make about leaving HP for MLP is completely superfluous. *g*

Horse icon--*neeeiiiggghhhhhh!!* Someone sent that to me this week, and I've watched it shamelessly and gleefully I'm not telling you how many times... Heee.

*cringes*
No! Not clowns.... *runs away*

OH thank you for that!

I just hope I don't have nightmares. Shivers.

That was easily the most ridiculous thing I've seen this month. :D

That was one scary experience! *is horrified* ;)

If I hadn't friended Brammers for her posts alone, then most certainly for the kind of comments she gets. This about killed me!!! And I don't even know what this Little Pony is that you are speaking of. But now I want that movie! Seriously - some producer has to watch that clip and make it. Little girls with rifles, flying rainbow-coloured winged ponies, children vs. parents???? How good can it get?
