My journal is friends only. If you are dull, cruel, shallow, humorless, or close-minded, you need not apply. Otherwise, just say hi and I will add you.

And don't get all pissy if your application is denied. That's just the way life is.

The maintenance of a friendship is a varied and complex process, offering many perilous opportunities for suspicion and offence. If a man is wise, he will sometimes contrive to avoid these unpleasant occurrences, and will sometimes manage to make light of them; at other times he just has to put up with them.
