LJ and reality.

[leftyjew]

So I'm meeting all these people who either:
a. I know in real life and later i find out they have a live journal (alanscottevil, tracyrock).
b. I know through livejournal and then meet them in real life in a totally different way and one of us realizes the other is also on livejournal (sen_ichi_rei, desh).
c. I know through livejournal and neither of us realize that we also know each other through livejournal (???).

In each of these situations, I feel like my relationship to the other person changes to some exxtent - usually for the better. Most of you who fall into this category are either members of weirdjews or weirdjews2 or both. I just think this is interesting. I also think it's interesting who people will add as friends. Why do you add someone as a friend?

I don't think I know you at all because you never post on LJ.

just wondering. . .
how'd you pick the name sen_ichi_rei?
and how is it correctly pronounced?

I add people as friends if I'm okay with them reading the stuff I friend-restrict. So that involves knowing them face-to-face.

If I never restricted stuff, I'd probably friend everyone who's LJ I liked enough to want it to show up on my friends page.
