When my dragons are grown, I will take back what is stolen from me.

I've decided to try something new. I'm making my default new entries public instead of friends-only. We will shortly see how much I regret this. Probably a lot.

Is there actually any benefit to this? I know many of you keep your journals public.

I did eat an ant.It was a little black one who bit my ankle. It didn't taste like anything. I did

chocolate should remain pure and delicious :P

Good to know I don't have to bother eating an ant now to know the taste! I'm no fan of zoos for the reasons you mention, but that one sounds better than most.

I'm happy you've made your journal public, I'm useless at posting or commenting much but I love your writing so reading the entries you're comfortable sharing is a bonus.

Happy to be of service. :)

I didn't know anyone was interested in seeing public entries. Interesting!

[playing_perfect]

Yes, I don't want to bother people with asking them to friend me if there's no reason they should beyond my 'Wow I love your writing!' and I don't assume people will want me to friend them and read my entries on that principle either. Maybe I'm in the minority on that. But I do love following the posts of people I enjoy reading. And occasionally even commenting! It's a little hypocritical considering I rarely do public posts myself - though posts from me are hardly frequent anyway.

I can indeed tell you love your zoo!

You will hopefully be pleased to learn that I have reconsidered this plan!

Oh good for you!! I could never make my entries public :(

I saw the photo on your instagram. Love it :D

Thanks!

Yeah, I really don't know what I was thinking. Sometimes I'm like, "this is no big deal, nothing private really" and other times I'm like "I don't want random people seeing into my psyche"

LOL!! OK, mayyyyyyybe I would eat an ant if it bit me.

I guess the main benefit of unlocking is potentially attracting new readers or making new friends. I surf friends' flists sometimes if mine is slow, and I've connected with new people that way. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to my own flocking, though.

Sometimes you have to take revenge.

I like new friends, but hmm. I think I'm going to base each entry's status on what I say in it.
