triest…hope you don’t mind…
1. Your Live Journal "user name" & what it means:
My LJ user name is “radiantbaby”. It is derived from a piece done by the late pop artist Keith Haring (see my icon, it’s the “radiantbaby” and “the barking dog”). He was a bit of an idol of mine from the age of 12 or so and when I was young I used to mimic his style when drawing. When I first got online years and years ago, I was trying to think of a good handle and I happened to be reading his biography at the time. I chose the RadiantBaby to represent me, as it was a bit dear to my heart. More people now know me from online more as Radiant, Radiantbaby, O Radiant One (coined by *the* John Taylor), etc. than my own name.
2. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your Live Journal represent who you actually are?
well, I’d say about an 8 or so, I don’t hide much. I probably let it hang out more here, but that’s really just been a secret forever (I’m an Aries, I am bad at keeping secrets).
3. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
See last response…
4. Is there anything you refuse to post about?
I try to keep it real, but not *too* overboard, I suppose. Otherwise, I don’t have many restrictions. I might keep clear of things that might be completely *boring* to read.
5. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
Hmm, I have no idea. Things are too new, I suppose.
6. From who/how did you find out about LJ?
Just about everyone from a group I belong to called Atlanta Pagans seemed to be namedropping it a lot. I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. Also, around the same time, I did a search about my newest fixation, Mr. Jack White, and found the LJ community for him. I had to join in order to post, so I took the leap from lurker to participant.
7. Has anyone ever joined LJ because of you?
Not yet…
8. What proportion of your posts are friends only?
50%, I guess. Maybe more… How can I tell from less than ten posts?
9. What do you like about LJ the most?
Would it be vacuous to say the ego-stroke of people replying to your posts? Also, I love to get into the heads of people. I am a writer and characterization is my favorite thing – I love to check out what makes people tick.
10. How often do you respond to/comment on other peoples' journals?
Pretty often, if I have something to say…
11. Do you prefer to write in your journal, read other journals?
Hmmm, it really depends on my mood, I suppose.
12. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on LJ (or did it to someone else)?
Nope, I have had issues in other places before, but that was just message-board drama. I usually duck out of that sort of thing. Besides, I am *so* hard to offend that if anyone tried, I probably wouldn’t even notice.
13. Have you ever banned someone from your journal?
Never.
14. Who are your favourite LJ friend(s) and tell me something about them?
Let’s see, I like everyone at AP that I have meet so far:faeriegirl380, grizzlydan, justcallmeacorn, keiracaitlyn, lunamoonsong, myndsweep, skyclad_scarlet, triest, dorin, etc. I am also making some friends in the [jack white community] (_jackwhite_), so its all good.
15. How many of your LJ friends have you actually met?
9 out of about 11(not including the communities), not bad…
16. Of all of the people on LJ you know of, who is the most like you?
I don’t know yet…
