I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. (Some I know too well. You know who you are.) I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they listen in rapture to the low-spark-music of high-heeled boy-turnips." I might feel compelled to mock your musical taste in such a case, but I'll certainly remember you.

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. (Yes, this may sound like blatant comment whoring, and in a way it is -- but I honestly like to know silly stuff like this too!) If you like, post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.
