Opinions
- Trust yourself.
- The world is more amazing than we can ever imagine.
- Between black and white there are not just shades of grey -- there's red and orange and pink and green and blue.
- No-one's creepy or laughable from the inside.
- You should never apologise for what you like, or what you know.
- A successful argument is determined not by whether you 'win' or 'lose' it; but whether you gain greater insight into the truth along the way.
- Playfulness is at its best when it contains an element of seriousness; and seriousness is at its best when it contains an element of playfulness.
Policy on LJ Friends
Feel free to add me as a friend without asking. I won't necessarily add you back, but I'll probably wander over to your journal occasionally. I don't make many friends-only posts, so you won't miss much if I don't add you. I apply the same logic in reverse - so if I like your journal I will usually add it without asking first, and I don't expect to be friended in return. If curious how I found you (or you don't want me to have you as a friend for any reason) then just ask - leave a comment on my most recent entry, and I'll happily reply (and defriend you if that's what you want).
