- Your Journal -

5. Why do you have a Journal page?
Because I want to learn how to be more out-going. To have a place where I can share my love for certain dudes. Because I need to.

Do you have a Journal page for yourself, your friends, strangers to know you, and/or everyone?
All of the above.

6. Why did you pick LiveJournal (LJ) over another service or handwriting?
Well, it was the first one that I tried and the people rocked.

7. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your LiveJournal represent who you actually are?
7, because there's so much of me that I don't ever think is significant enough to post.

8. How do you think your LJ represents you the most:
Factually: I don't lie, but there's probably a lot that I never tell just because it never comes up.
Emotionally: I'm pretty much a roller-coaster off-line, too. Although I seem quieter when you first meet me.
Intellectually: I think that LJ records some of my more intelligent and more bone-headed moments.
Sexually: I get none but dream a ton. Sounds accurate.
Religiously: I mention my faith and have a permanent icon for it.
Artistically: LJ is what has brought my writing back to life. It's where I write and think out my stories.

9.
a. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
I don't know. I post about the big things, not generally the little things.

b. Is there anything you refuse to post about?
not really.

10. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
I try not to think about it. I always have this little voice in my head that tells me that I'm of no interest to anyone.

I don't remember.

12. Has anyone ever joined LJ because of you?
Yes! Brooding, Fox, Rory, Waynette. Tons. I'm a pimp, yo.

20. How often do you respond / comment on other peoples journals?
Whenever I can think of something to say.
