What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it?
crankylex. My name is Lex and I am cranky. There you go, nothing terribly fascinating about that.
Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to?
Nope. I don't get the whole renaming thing, as I don't use an alias. Lex is actually my real name. Well, my real nickname. My name is Alexis.
How much does your userinfo say about you?
It gives a brief overview of me, I think.
How long have you been on LiveJournal?
Almost six years. Prior to that, I was on Xanga.
What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting?
Months, probably.
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'll steal indie's answer: I'm very, very inconsistent. For a month or two I'll post daily or multiple times a day, then be MIA for weeks. I always read. ALWAYS. But my posting can be sporadic.
What are your posts normally about?
My life, mainly. I'm not really involved in fandom anymore, so I mostly post about me.
Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not?
Nope. I'm not a particularly private person.
Does your LiveJournal have an actual title or are you merely USER @ LiveJournal?
"Foul-Mouthed Tart"
How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal?
Indefinitely.

If I see someone around on friends' journals or communities I like, and I enjoy what they have to say, I friend them.

Multiple times daily.
Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist?

Constantly.
Do you do friendscuts? Why or why not?
