My journal tends to be a grab-bag. I think I'm one of these supporting characters; I write more deeply in other people's journals than my own. A lot of it is friends-locked. This has more to do with not subjecting everyone I know to discussions of, say, my personal politics or whinging than with trying to keep things private. If it's really private, it's probably not in my journal, anyway. Lately I've been adding photos to some of my posts.
Re friends: You are quite welcome to read my journal. But I tend not to add people I don't know unless they start commenting on my posts and I get to feeling like I know them. I spend just way too much time on LJ as it is!
I collect clutter, dust, and ideas. I'm working on cutting down the clutter and the dust so that there will be more room for ideas. I sing well and play many instruments badly, a few tolerably, and one or two a bit better than that. I have a certain talent for catalyzing change in others--not always the coziest of attributes. I'm a bit of a kitchen witch.
