Journal WilliamSChips's Journal: Friends, fans, foes, and freaks 6

I just recently got a friending(hey, Philip K Dickhead) and my mind got set on a chain of events leading towards this journal entry. I really like the friend/foe system, it's a great way to spot people whose posts you like to read. I primarily use foe for those people whose posts I consider so hopelessly stupid that they make my blood pressure rise. I give a +2 bonus for friends, -3 for foes, +1 for friends of friends and fans, -1 for freaks, and no change for foes of friends--if I remember correctly, these numbers were selected based on the threshhold numbers so that I'd see friends' posts. When I see a post which I really like(or a person friends me), I click on said person's 'page' and, if they have one, read their journal. If they don't have a journal, I click on random posts in their history, which I prefer reading journals to because I think journals tend to show a person's thoughts and opinions better.
Now to fans and freaks: Amazingly, I have more fans than freaks. ;) Although if you remove the fans which I met elsewhere and are fans because of that, you get the same number. Please note that this entire entry was not written to have any structure or purpose.
In conclusion, I look good in red. (Previous statement has no relevance to this, I just thought it up randomly and decided it would sound good here.) I apologize for the hard-to-read-ness of that--I'm too lazy to split it up into paragraphs. :P

  • Glad to add you. Sorry the clubis not so exclusive. I am on a mission to have as many friends as will allow me.

    Some kind soul bought me a sub - to override the relationship limit.

    Also, I foe NO ONE. Just don't bother. If I can't stand what some prat writes, I'll just skip their posts. Life's to short to argue with folks.
