I really need to make up a cheat sheet of people whose LJ names don't match their Buffista IDs, because I'm always forgetting.

Actually, what I'd really like is to be able to annotate my friends -- not just "this is Sparky, duh!" but "I friended this person even though we have no fandoms in common because I keep seeing good stuff in comments from her". It would radically cut down on the "huh? who?" moments, and I'm never in a zillion years going to keep track of it if I have it tucked away in a separate file.

People should also annotate why they friend you. There are a couple people who've friended me -- I can't even work out where we crossed paths.

found this trolling through comments in Neil Gaiman's lj:

I fear I may abuse it.

We met here, ita. Remember?

Good point. I'm generally mildly annoyed by "can I friend you?" posts, because I think of it as asking permission to read something publically posted, and not actually being friends -- but the ones that nag at my mind about "I think it's a buffista, given the friends in common, but I'm not quite sure, and I can't guess who it is and...." could use a nice rollover comment.

Not going to bookmark, not going to bookmark, not going to bookmark.

too late.

John, that makes me laugh! For some reason, stock photos of crying kids make me laugh. Probably to stop from creeping me out.

Your name seems familiar.

Um, no. It's a blog. People don't have to explain to me why they read it.

They shouldn't necessarily have to, but it would be nice to have the option. I personally want to know who is reading my blog and who the people are who friend me. That is why I keep most of my posts friends locked.
