Posting this here as an answer to a question Deanna asked me today via email and not locking it to friends-only so she can just link to it.

Well, thanks to Google's new Blog Search this entire LiveJournal is now "friend's only." I don't mind strangers reading my thoughts if they stumble across this but there's something sinister and irritating to me about the ability for anyone (like my clients) being able to Google my name and find this. Comment to be added.
