I checked out your recent LiveJournal posts. You seem like an interesting person too, someone who I would like as a friend.
I went ahead and added you as a friend on LJ. I guess I should warn you that the journal is full of gratuitous self-disclosure. I write about literally anything that I feel like writing about. And the quantifiedself experiment means that I document literally everything I do, though I still don't have much of a life, so this isn't all that much.
Though I guess there's no need for me to be so paranoid with these warnings, and no need for me to be so paranoid about who I give access to.
Just saw this; I'm interested in seeing the journal. My LJ username is squid314. I wouldn't be an "actual friend" as in buy you stuff for your birthday, but I check my friends page every so often and respond to anything I find interesting.
Some research says that lurkers make up over 90% of online groups. I suspect that Less Wrong has an even higher percentage of lurkers than other online communities.
Please post a comment in this thread saying "Hi." You can say more if you want, but just posting "Hi" is good for a guaranteed free point of karma.
