Friending Policy

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. :)

I wonder if there is a My Little Pony fan community in neo-Latin...

'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!

It's the Internet, of COURSE there is!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Don't laugh, you know that fic is out there!

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...

I totally would friend you again, simply for that greeting line. If I was dedicated enough to this statement, I'd go modify our friendship right now. *G*

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 ...

I dunno. I'm not having much luck searching for "meus mannulus parvus."

"Salve feles" on the other hand...

(I'll be damned if I can find a separate Latin word for "kitten")

HEE! I was always taught that one should be polite, even to bots!

They are always given the short end of the stick. And they're getting so clever now! Despite their usernames still making no sense in any universe. They start out in Russian, and move on to modifying their profiles to add sparkly graphics and take time to make three journal entries.

They deserve proper greetings.

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*

*used only horse icon she has*

* 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.

y'know, i think often my entries are just that. minus the my little pony references.

eep!

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.

[identity profile] joanwilder.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
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!

*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

I got friended last night by someone whose only two posts were get-rich-quick schemes (a link to a "Google Money Maker" and one to "Get Grants from the US Government - only $15 shipping for our FREE guide book!"). Yeah, I think not.

Lots of love from me, Pink Pony and all the Russian bots!

PS I'd add some hearts but fortunately I've no idea how that's done. *snickers*

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

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

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hush you, I have more dodgy Malfoy mpreg fic to post and I will dedicate it to you if you are not careful ;-)

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
So not true, your hair is not pink!
