I Used To Be Smarter(-Mouthed)

Is it legitimate to go back and tag old entries without correcting errors?

I say yes. It takes too long to clean up after the spellchecker.

Tangentially, I realized recently that I never really explained my friending policy. It wavers between arbitrary and highly subjective based on five criteria:

1.) Do you write interesting or amusing posts?

2.) Is there a disproportionate quantity of drama associated with your journal?

3.) Do I know you in real life?

4.) Who is this person who has friended me, but never commented on a post or otherwise introduced themselves?

5.) Do I have time to extend my flist reading list?

If my answers are yes, no, yes, "oh, that's ____", and, "no, but I want to know what they're up to!" you're on my reading list. These days, 5.) is the strongest criteria.

And then there's the amorphous list of people I read when I have time (in other words, when I am procrastinating madly). Most of whom are very interesting and erudite, but slightly out of my usual focus. I wish I had time to read more of you.

In unrelated news, I started at the Most Temporary Job Ever today. They want be back three more times over the next three weeks for an estimated nine hours each day (plus commute!), but it's actually in my field, so I'm in love.

In other news, I do not like the Ataris. They keep covering songs better left in their original glory.
