apple_pathways(You know when I start using Phish lyrics to title my entries, I have nothing in particular to talk about.)
First, the business!
I also seem to have picked up another meme fromsomewhere ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lemniciate. This one is about my journal.
ABOUT YOUR JOURNAL
What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it?
PrincessSprkLP0ny. It came to me in a dream!
Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to?
I've not renamed, but I had another journal before this one. I wasn't involved in fandom at all: it was strictly real-life. It contains way more emo bullshit than I thought it did--I don't really recommend it. It wasverbalgarbage.
How much does your userinfo say about you?
Not much. I refuse to believe that people actually read user profiles, so I've kept mine short and sweet.
How long have you been on LiveJournal?
2004
What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting?
Well, it was a couple years between the old journal and this one.
On average, how many entries do you post per day? (Divide how many total entries you have by how many days you've been on LJ.)
I try to limit myself to once per day. Occasionally I fail.
What are your posts normally about?
Hmm, soliciting random opinions and advice from my flist? Weird fandom BS I read over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fail_fandomanon? Oh, and vegetables.
Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not?
No. My LJ is, for the most part, a creative outlet for me, and a little extra fun and interaction on the side of my real life. I think if my journal were friends-only, I'd be tempted to bitch and moan about a lot of RL TL;DR, and I don't really want that. As it is, I mostly just lock pictures of me and people I know and the occasional RL bitching that does manage to seep through.
Does your LiveJournal have an actual title or are you merely USER @ LiveJournal?
My title is "Moon-lines and Apple-pathways". I think.
How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal?
Um, until everyone else leaves, I guess...
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSLIST
How many people are on your friendslist, not counting private journals, media journals, etc?
67
Why do you choose to add a person to your friendslist?
If I think we might be able to have enjoyable interactions via the intertubes.
Is your friendslist an actual list of people you consider friends, or more of a reading list?
I would like for it to be 100% the former, but that's difficult to maintain. I don't really friend people just 'cause I like their fic, because I know I could find it otherwise.
How often do you read your friendslist?
Everyday. I try to limit commenting for when I actually have something to say. If you're a friend I've interacted with on a regular basis in the past, but I don't find myself commenting much anymore, I will stop in and just say 'Hello' once in awhile.
Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist?
Nope.
How much do you talk to people on your friendslist off of LiveJournal?
Quite a bit. Especially now with the chat. I send the occasional email, do gchat--even met a couple flisters in person, which ROCKED. I occasionally send cards and packages to people I've met here. Anyway--I like people. PEOPLE: I LIKE YOU!
Do you do friends cuts? Why or why not?
Yep. As I said, I really want my flist to be people I interact with. If I end up friending someone and we don't really hit it off, I'll eventually defriend them. I'm not interested in a popularity contest, or in having THE MOSTEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!
That said: my journal is 95% public, so if people just want to read my random fandom ranting or look at pictures of my vegetables (GOD BLESS YOU if you do!), they can absolutely do that. I even have anonymous commenting enabled, so people without LJs can hang out and comment! So to me, "defriending" doesn't mean I'm kicking someone off my journal. I'm just keeping things tidy!
Do you regularly participate in friending memes? If not, how do you normally find people to friend?
Regularly? No. But if I join a new fandom or community, or if I see a friending meme pertaining to a particular interest, I'll jump in.
I just talk to anyone who looks like they have something in common with me. I've had some pretty good luck with friending memes! I know I've met a lot of my flist on one or another.
How often do you add new friends to your friendslist?
As I said: if I join a new fandom or a community with a lot of interaction. Or if someone friends me, I'll usually friend them back.
Do your friends have to have things in common with you?
Not necessarily. Either we have something in common, or our personalities mesh, either one. Actually, most of my RL friends share very little in common with me, but that doesn't stop us being BFF.
ABOUT YOUR ICONS / USERPICS
How many userpics do you get maximum? How many of those slots do you actually use?
I have 105 spaces, and I believe 95 icons currently. I rarely max out, because I like to have the extra space for those emergency OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT! icons.
Do you mostly use icons made by yourself or by others?
Most of my icons were made by other people. I just love what some people come up with! But I'm getting better at making my own, and have quite a few on the roster.
Do you have your own icon community? How often do you post in it?
No. And never.
What fandoms are most frequently seen in your userpics?
Doctor Who. For sure.
How do you find icons to use?
Every time I go todoctorwho I come away with 10 new icons... Other than that, I either troll icon comms or search specifically for a particular type of icon I'm looking for.
How often do you upload new icons to use in your userpics?
Umm, once a month?
Which of your userpics do you use the most?
I don't know! I always feel like I need to pick out a specific icon for each post or comment I make. I'm a bit obsessive about it.
Which of your userpics do you like the most?
I'm quite fond of my Star Trek "the internet is for porn" icon. Also my "worship, teaching, friends" WTF icon.
The old minimum number of userpics was three. Could you see yourself "surviving" on three userpics now?
Um...yes? But no.
What do your userpics say about you?
That I am far more snarky than sentimental. Every time someone makes a sensitive RL post or comment, and I go looking for a nice, comforting icon to put with my comment it's like "sarcasm, porn, sarcasm, stupid joke, children falling down the stairs, porn, sarcasm..."
Last but not least:
First, the business!
- It seems I have set a goal of finishing 1,000 words of my femgenficathon fic by tomorrow. What time tomorrow: I am not sure. Number of words I have written so far: 0. Who wants to write with me tonight?!
- Going to the SPLASH PARK with my friend, her adorable two year-old, another friend and her friend and her adorable four year-old TOMORROW. There will be a water slide. HELLZ YEAH!
- I will be making my foreign language post for that 15 Day meme I never finished this weekend. I promise.
- I picked the first major harvest from my garden today! Two heads of Chinese cabbage, a bunch of swiss chard, a lovely yellow squash, a yellow Hungarian pepper, and one little mini cucumber
that fell off the vine while I was messing with it.
