- Your Journal -
5. Why do you have a Journal page?
i use to do 'rants' then i did a hand coded blog (no blogger) but i didn't keep up with them well because by the time i'd re-edit the html i often lost my urge to rant or write
i got a livejournal just to keep someone else from using the username 'eris' with no real intention to use it much, but it turned out to be pretty addictive
6. Why did you pick LiveJournal (LJ) over another service or handwriting?
i didn't really pick it, see above. i have also used blogger recently and i like it a lot too but it's 'client' isn't as convenient
7. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your LiveJournal represent who you actually are?
42
8. How do you think your LJ represents you the most; factually (includes daily routine), emotionally, intellectually, sexually, religiously, or artistically?
yes
9. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
i have often left out things to do with kal out of respect to his privacy, and have kept quiet on other things at his suggestion, and i try not to talk about money too much, but i have a lot lately.. pretty much most of my life. i often don't talk about things that upset me if i feel that it would do me more harm than good to write about it
10. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
don't care, i personally think i'm very interesting
11. From who / how did you find out about LJ?
don't remember, people were talking about it in IRC i think
12. Has anyone ever joined LJ because of you?
quite a few, unfortunately two of my exes number among those
13. How long have you been a member of LJ?
since 2000-05-04
14. How often do you post to LJ?
1-10 times a day

![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
nakedparts
18. Have you ever learned anything new on LJ?
lots of things probably, am i supposed to give examples?
19. Has anything on LJ ever caused you to establish, rethink, or even change your belief or position on something?
probably, don't know
20. How often do you respond / comment on other peoples journals?
whenever i feel like it :P

30. Have you ever lied/fibbed in your journal?
i don't believe so
31. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on LJ (or did it to someone else)?
this question brought to you by the society for people that take livejournal too seriously. i don't believe one can truly stalk or be stalked online, harassment usually means whiny bitches complaining that people aren't kissing their asses. argument/flame war? probably, i say my piece and go away usually, then try not to let it bother me (try).

Date: 2001-06-26 11:30 pm (UTC)it brought to mind fantisizing about someone sitting on livejournal
but that also sounded like something only i'd find funny so i didn't say anything about that in the answer
Heh, heh, heh ...
Heh, heh, heh ... always the best (cough, hack, ptooo) reasons if ya ask me!
