I find the concept of Friends Only on Livejournal very amusing. So you're putting your stuff on the internet so only a few selected people can read them? Why even bother? Just call them up.
But I also understand how the internet can bring certain types of people together. I have around 90 people on my friends list. I'm not close friends with all of them, some of them randomly friended me and I barely even know them. The nice thing about blogs is that it's a great way to let large groups of people know what you're up to. I don't have time to talk to all my 90-something friend individually. So I tell them to go read my blog, and lo and behold, they are up on things.
Here's how I use my blog and my LJ:
- BLOG: for everything in my life. My thoughts, my angsts, my dreams, the kickass shit that happens day-to-day - LJ: the surveys, the post-whoring, the important things when I need to let EVERYONE know what's going on.
That way people who really know you can check out your blog because they care about your everyday doings, and those who only need to be in on the random things can be notified via LJ. :3
