But there are a few things you should look at before you comment to be added...
The Basics: This is the journal of a twenty-something, decidedly liberal, rabidly feminist, most assuredly not-straight, fannishly-oriented, godless heathen. I am extremely opinionated and fairly stubborn, but do my best to maintain an open mind. This journal is friends-only because I bitch frequently about this and that, and some things are better kept out of the open. I value critical thinking, good chocolate, intelligent conversation, and warm socks. I am very often quite a silly person.
Friending policy: I friend people whose journals I have an interest in following. Comment here if you'd like me to friend you; I'll probably investigate your journal before I do so. You do have to comment to be added; if you friend me without saying anything, I won't friend you back. I reserve the right not to friend you at all, or to add you and then remove you later. Feel free to add and drop me at will; it won't hurt my feelings, I promise. As a general rule, though, if you bother to leave a comment, I'll friend you.
Exceptions to the friending policy: if u tyep li3k th1s, there is no chance in hell that I will friend you. You have to respect the English language before I will respect you.
If you are the type of person who likes to really ratchet up the drama by posting entries to the effect of If you don't comment then I'll defriend you! then I will roll my eyes at you, drop you out of Default View, and breathe a sigh of relief whenever you get around to taking me off your friends list. I don't care for drama, and I especially don't care to enable drama. If you're the sort who thrives on drama, then perhaps you'd best save yourself the time and find another journal to friend.
My posting levels: I post a lot. Sometimes the content is thoughtful, deep, and meaningful. Mostly it is fangirly fluff and/or bitching about how much I need sleep or how much I hate my neighbors and so forth. I do tend to filter a lot of my posts, depending on the subject matter, but the fact remains that I post a lot. If you don't want to be spammed on a daily basis, this may not be the journal for you.
If you still think you want to be added, then by all means, comment! I don't believe I'm as much of a bitch as the above makes me sound, but I like to be straightforward whenever possible, and forewarned is forearmed. ^_^

PLEASE ADD ME!!!
My name is Tonya Joy Briggs. I live and work in San Francisco, and am going into my 2nd year shaman training. (This is the boring part of Shaman work, because this is the year I fully integrate into that "normal" society.)
So, I like your journal, would comment every time you posted, if that's okay. I'm looking for good friends to have on my friends list, because I only read about 1 new post a day, and its getting rather dull.
So if you want to read the journal of another heathen lesbo, check out mine. I'm kinda crazy, but life is basically a good thing.

Re: PLEASE ADD ME!!!
Fair warning: this journal is the one I started after (mostly-)leaving LJ, so there are lots of slant references and in-jokes, and characters who pop up and offer their opinions on my posts. I'm not honestly crazy, just... possessed of a rich and vivid interior life. ^^;
(And the posting is... very constant when I'm procrastinating. Like I am today. Heh.)

See if that makes it so you can see my recent blathering?

Friend me?
I'll confess, I don't actually post much here. My journaling home these days is actually IJ, same username.
Son once again, I hope you don't mind.. I promise I don't bite, at least not too hard.
Welcome aboard! *uses Vetinari icon to complement the Death icon*
I think that life is too short for drama, for getting riled up. I have my opinions and other people have their opinions and I think that is how it should be, I like to surround myself with people who are relatively sane as well.. but well discussion is the curry of the fandom world and I'm not opposed to a little bit of that.
