LJ Friends Lists

[ailbhe]

If I'm on your friends list and you're not on mine, why are you reading me? I'd love to know. If you are, of course; I might be on there for some entirely other reason. I know some people added me so I could read individual posts linked from other people's journals, and stuff.

But I am curious.

I found your journal somehow-or-other at a point when I'd started thinking about what our family will look like, if/when we decide to have kids. I love your writing, and you often bring up parenting questions that I'd never thought about, but should (like unschooling, and the work/home balance required when one parent each works outside and inside the home).

So, because I find your thoughts interesting.

I don't really like the emotional loading that LJ puts in by calling reading lists "friends lists", and I can understand why seeing strangers listed as friends can feel awkward. If it makes you uncomfortable I can put your journal into my bookmarks instead.
