Journal: Just joined and I have many Q's about how everything works.

"Artsie_ladie doesn't seem to be particularly active."

hehe This is because I'm trying to figure things out around here and being a newbie, I have several questions, but as usual, I have questions that I can't seem to find the answers to, like "What's an Open ID and how do I obtain one? What's the purpose for this?" Why the term "Firehose"? I would put in my real name if I could find out how or where.
