| Bio: |
I occasionally post adult material to this journal; underage viewers should not proceed. This warning is made in cooperation with LiveJournal's request for such statements.
Dramatis Personae:
gridlore
- Husband of 16.5 years.
jilesa
- My long-distance girlfriend. It's been three years since I saw her last, and I miss her.
murphymom
- My real-life, honest-to-ghod mother. Yeah, she really is that cool. ;-)
apandaleaf
- My half-sister, currently in her second year at UCLA. She rocks like a room full of rocking chairs.
n_1_n
- My half-brother. He appears to have vacated LJ for MySpazz.
isomeme
- gridlore's brother; married to
laurellady, father of madelineusher.
baka49er
- My mother-in-law, who has an account solely to read our f'locked posts.
Guidelines for public posts/friending/defriending:
- My journal is 75%+ public. There have been periods where I have defaulted to friends-only for one reason or another;
there may be periods in the future where I choose to do so again. I will announce this if and when it happens. the most recent of these began on 23 March 2008.
- You are always welcome to add me to your friends list, but know that I am exceedingly picky about who I add to mine, as I have trouble managing it as it is. Priority is given to people with whom I have a long-standing acquaintance (either online or in meatspace). People who find me via friendsfriends or common communities should mail me a brief introduction if they'd like to be added. If I don't, it's nothing personal.
- Comments are always welcome, save when they are disabled. Anonymous and non-friend comments are screened, but will be unscreened in most cases. Commenting on an unrelated post to bring drama will almost certainly result in a prompt defriending. Bringing drama in any way will almost certainly result in a prompt defriending. Don't bring drama.
- I purge my friends list erratically. There are many reasons for this, but here's the jist:
- Lack of rapport. This can be defined in several ways, but it's pretty simple. If I don't feel like I know you after some amount of time, I'll likely purge.
- Continued overload of emo/drama. If the majority of your posts are talking about how much your life sucks, and there's really no sign of change, then I'll likely purge. This is a more subjective condition, given that I know from direct experience that everyone has dark times, and I'm big on second (and third) chances. But sometimes, enough is enough.
- General purge. See point 2 above.
I used to announce these purges in my journal, but it was pointed out to me that making such announcements was likely causing the drama I was attempting to avoid. Thus, this disclaimer.

My Dating Status Button says:
Polyamorous, Bisexual, Involved/Available |
|
Polyamorous
|
Interested in multiple serious relationships.
| |
Bisexual
|
Interested in both male and female.
| |
Involved/Available
|
Currently in a relationship, and potentially interested in more.*
* It would be more accurate to state at this time, in the words of alt.poly, that I'm "not not-looking." If a relationship should happen to fall into my lap (perhaps literally *grin*), I won't dismiss it, but I'm not actively seeking one out.
