You live & learn. Then die & forget it all (original) (raw)
stegzy is having a friending frenzy, to get more friends and for his friends to have more friends, and so on until the end of LJ time http://stegzy.livejournal.com/835463.html?view=6223239#t6223239
So I'm trying it too, and this is shamelessly taken from his post:
The idea is simple. What happens, from what I have seen, is if you want to make new chums post a comment on this entry and say “I would like new chumz” and include a little bit about you or a link to your info page. Then, you have a look at other peoples similar comments and see if anyone on there tickles your fancy and say hello, add them or tell them to fuck off and never darken your LJ ever again. Of course this works better if you tell your chumz on your LJ what is going on in this post. Link to it so they too can get involved, or indeed, why not hold your own.
See it like a conference where you are all delegates. Who knows, the single people might find their future partner, or they might find the person that finally tips them over the edge…it’s a fun game we can all play :D
Of course, you are more than welcome to totally ignore this post and carry on regardless. It is totally voluntary. I mean you might not want any old riff raff reading your journal and that I totally understand that. Or you might already know everyone on my Flist or not want to know anyone on my Flist (why that is? I have no idea, seeing as all my Flisters are really good friendly chaps and chapesses who all have interesting things to say)

Can I just remind everyone that if they wish to continue to read my journal after tomorrow then they need to vote in this poll:

Been meaning to do this for a while, as it is the same select few who I interact with on here. This is visible to everyone, and will stay so for two weeks to deal with anyone who might be on holiday, and then after that anyone who hasn't commented obviously isn't looking anyway ;0) I seem to have people on my list that I don't know, who don't comment, who don't post and that just makes me feel paranoid. I want to have a relationship with the people on here, talk to them, otherwise I can't see the point. I'd rather have 40 people on my list that I know and like, than 100 that I never interact with.
Do you wish to stay on my friends list?
Yes, I would like to stay as your friend. Of course I will be sending you dairy free cakes
No thanks. It was nice whilst it lasted. Bye bye

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test...
Compassion
Compassion is the most human of the virtues. And you? Your heart has limits far beyond normal levels empathy, and your capacity for feeling the world's pain is boundless. You poor, beautiful, wonderful thing. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your compassion runs deepest.
It is likely you're an altruist. And it's likely (but not necessarily true, think of Bono) that your humility score is high too.
Compassionate famous people: Brad Pitt, Mother Theresa, The A-Team.
Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.
YOUR VIRTUES
70% Compassion
44% Intelligence
63% Humility
44% Honesty
13% Discipline
43% Courage
58% Passion
