I don't really care. I had actually forgotten about it. I am mildly interested in your mysterious musings, and while I'm no longer deeply afraid of other people finding out I have a live journal, I am still somewhat hesitant about revealing some of those mundane and overwritten entries to a wider and more critical world. I think the anonymity went out the window when Lindsey put me on her friends list (that's how you found me, right?), and lately, even though I removed the entry that contained my name, Kate Englander has discovered me as well. I won't, however, be particularly offended if you still feel like there are some things you would rather keep to yourself and your close friends. Whatever you want to do is fine.

In that case I'll friend you.

PS I actually found you by searching "Bucky High" a long time before Lindsey friended you, for the record.
