On the DL

[villagecharm]

Folks,
The problem that seems to afflict every work-bound LJ user sooner or later has hit the City of Village Charm: my journal has suddenly become popular viewing at work.
Consequently, I'm going to go off the grid for a little while. I've locked all my previous posts, and when I do start posting again, sometime in the future, it will be friends only. I know there are a number of people out there who read my journal but who don't have livejournals of their own, and that kind of sucks, but that's the way it has to be, at least for the forseeable future.

Courage,
Dan Rather

p.s.
The journal still rages on, but is friends only. If you would like to be added, or if you would like to read the thing I wrote about Lance Hahn, leave a comment.

Thousands mourn.

Tom--

Get on the grid right away! It's easy to make your journal friends only if you've locked all early entries!

I have come to depend on my friends for entertainment nearly as much as I depend on books, music, and movies! YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENTERTAIN US, DAMMIT!

Wow--that was meant to be an "earnest plea". Don't leave us, O Villagecharm. Don't leave us!

if you're not posting public anymore, can you add me?

[dewskiss3.livejournal.com]

i don't get it. what happened?

[lipbylipby.livejournal.com]

I sure miss your posts.

Being that I live in the City of Village Charm as well, I would like to enlist your assistance in locating the babbling brook portrayed on the wooden sign at the end of the ramp leading towards Buckland Hills Metropolis. I personally have never seen it and feel that mayhaps it does not exist. Totally nothing to do with your posting, but I felt it somewhat applicable since we both reside in the silk city.

I'm trying to expand my livejournal resume. It was a pleasure to meet you on Saturday :)

Hope you don't mind...

[goofuscat.livejournal.com]

but I added you as a friend. My name is Sara, and I live in Manchester. One question - half man half biscuit - do you mean the UK band who released "This Leaden Pall"?

ahoy there!
it's the new incarnation of lokust.

Add request

[semiotic-pirate.livejournal.com]

Oh! add me too! I found you through helmetfreshener and have read your comments occasionaly elsewhere perhaps as well.

[bklyndispatch.livejournal.com]

ncie to meet you last night, sorry we didn't get to talk more. i've added you.

[magicnarcker.livejournal.com]

Hi, it's Jeremy. I've broken down and gotten my own lj.

[googah.livejournal.com]

Heya! I fear this may cause me unnecessary harm, but would you consider adding me to your friends list? Hazmat tells me I should read your posts. I must admit, though, that it seems unfair that I should discover how entertaining you are right before you leave us! Still, I'm willing to face the inevitable anguish this will cause me.

[shinybolt.livejournal.com]

Hi. I found you through BrooklynDispatch. Mind if I add you?

[brooklynnotes.livejournal.com]

peep the new LJ. Hit me back.

Hey, LJ user monkeyflower recommended I get in touch with you. I'm a photojournalist working in DC...and, well, I'm getting in touch with you on monkeyflower's recommendation.

[orchid-and-wasp.livejournal.com]

please add me back, i miss reading you! erin

[theballadofyoko.livejournal.com]

I love this current volley you have with lipbylipby about Hitchens and religion. Could you add me so that I can read your posts?

p.s. Sorry we missed meeting up with you a couple weeks ago.

[brooklyn-jak.livejournal.com]

Uh oh, it looks like I missed the party. I am stuck on bedrest and looking for amusements and
atthesametime recommended I friend you.

[bing-crosby.livejournal.com]

looks like half my friends list recommends you, so I'm going to heed them.. I write a LOT so if you want to opt out of me, I won't be offended-- but hope you will (or rather, won't-- opt out that is. whatever).

[never-the-less.livejournal.com]

Yet another person coming over from the atthesametime crew. Sean should start getting a 5% commission. But someone recently noted that if you produced a radio show, it would be as compelling as This American Life -- how can I resist that?!?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

hey there,

Commandercranky said you wrote an awesome Lance Hahn post today. I'd love to read it.

Mine is here

[nom-de-grr.livejournal.com]

Hi. atthesametime linked to you, and I'd like to read your journal.

[semiotic-pirate.livejournal.com]

Greetings.

Non-judgmental person here seeking to be added to your f-list. Am seeking intelligent people with (sometimes) interesting things to say to my f-list.

I recall reading your blog about a year ago before I made a purge to my f-list for similar reasons to your own. I'm now coming back out of my hermitage to test the waters again.

[ceciliaj.livejournal.com]

I want to be your friend! But it is okay if you are too busy. I am a grad student in Nebraska who is lj friends with many of your lj friends.
