[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can't even.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
There are a couple people who've friended me -- I can't even work out where we crossed paths.
We met here, ita. Remember?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
People should also annotate why they friend you.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
John, that makes me laugh! For some reason, stock photos of crying kids make me laugh. Probably to stop from creeping me out.
We met here, ita. Remember?
Your name seems familiar.

If I only had a brain...

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.

I didn't say readers should explain anything to me, did I? I said people who friend me should.
And, as someone who loves the existence of web logs (and I'm so not alone) that information is not only interesting, but depending on what you're doing with your publishing, valuable.
I don't much care why people read me. But friending is a different link, and it's like meeting someone who's a FOAF, and never asking who the common friend is. When random people come across my blog, and like it enough to friend, that's cool. If they followed me from the krav journal, that's interesting too.
You don't think so? You never wonder about the people that friended you?

Agreed. But given the premise that it's optional, I'd rather have one line on the manage friends list than in my comments/email.
