Friends Only

[malixe]

Due to changing circumstances, this Journal is now 'Friends Only' for the immediately foreseeable future. There may still be some public entries, but default will be 'friends-locked'. I'm putting this post out front for comment bait, because there needs to be a front door that people can at least knock on if they would like in!

Hi there,
I've been dropping into your journal four a couple of years now via Mistress Matisse's site. I think I may have commented once or twice. I'd like to stick around because I really enjoy the photography and the political/political humor updates.
Thanks,
Kali

Hmm. OK, come on in! :)

Ditto what Kali said. I've missed your photography updates and enjoy the videos you find. Keep up the great work! Hope I can see more - Ann

Open, sez me.

[kineticflow.livejournal.com]

I'm another who found your LJ via Matisse and stayed for the photography. I'd like to be able to see more of it.

[malixe.livejournal.com]

OK. I'm pretty easy, actually... :)

If you're primarily interested in the photography, you might want to check out my malixe_photo community as well (or instead). I've taken to rummaging through my archives every now and then and dropping pictures in there at random intervals as the mood strikes me...

Knocking politely

[ms-goose-says.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm a blogger friend of Monk and Matisse and Hannah and am in the scene down here in Texas. I'll friend you and you can read my hopefully interesting stories on life, kink, improvisational comedy and sex.
Take care.
Jules

Hello there! If you're good enough for MM, you're good enough for me!

Silly's Friend LM

Malixe,
You don't know me, but we both know SillySilly on a face-to-face basis. She recommended that I add you to my friends list, so I have. I hereby invite you to do the same in return.
We also share at least one interest in common. Photography, and I'd like to pick your brain a bit about a couple of things related to that interest we share.

Personal references work for me! I don't see much of her, but Silly's a sweetheart!

Standing on your front porch...

...and would like to come in. I enjoy your photography very much, have been at a number of events where you were shooting. I am a CSPC member and have several RL friends in common with you. Introduced myself to you one time, at a holiday party last December.

Re: Standing on your front porch...

[malixe.livejournal.com]

My face is familiar, but I can't remember my name... Oh! Hi, I didn't see you standing there. Yeah sure, come on in while I rack my brains trying to remember which holiday party and what name you used when you introduced yourself. Maybe you'll give me a second chance some time.

I have a mind like a steel...sieve. New information goes in the top and slowly, gradually, dribbles right back out the bottom again.

It was a party given by Charles at his house, and I probably would have used the name Rene'. I'm sure I'll see you around again sometime, and I'll make a point of greeting you if you aren't busy. In the meantime, thanks for adding me.

pretty please add me!

I rarely post but enjoy your take on life.

Added. Apparently I just missed taking pictures of you last night. ;)

Nice to see you tonight!

I've got no idea why I hadn't already...

Hello it's Zoe! Please open the gate and let me in. I'm deserving, I promise. Also, I would love to see all of the great pictures you take.

Ha yeah

Hey -

Wandered over to your journal from a political thread in syz's. I see we have a bunch more in common, and you seem an interesting read.

Hope you are well.

Re: Hello

[malixe.livejournal.com]

Hello, and welcome! Nice job you did last weekend! :)

[slavemistress.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say sorry. Hope I do not get banned

No ban

[malixe.livejournal.com]

No, that's what I meant by 'without prejudice'... :) I'm just viewing it as a harmless mistake I needed to correct as part of my job as moderator.

If your comment -here- were obnoxious or belligerent, or if you repeatedly posted similar things with obvious bad intent, I would certainly have given it some thought... But I don't see any of those things and it just seemed like a minor misunderstanding of what that community is about.

Everybody makes a mistake every now and then, and I'm not someone who goes around taking it personally when that happens.

Hopefully you'll find an opportunity to post something that -does- fit the community, and even if not, you're welcome to continue enjoying it. Just, you know, learn from the mistake! :)

regards,

-M

Hullo?

[seafanna.livejournal.com]

I rarely post, but like to lurk about every now and then....so I guess I'm knocken...

Re: Hullo?

[malixe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm really surprised to learn that you're not -already- on my friends list. How did that not happen?? Oh well, fixed now!

[redsonjasea.livejournal.com]

Hi, although I haven't met you in RL we share several of the same LJ friends. I'd love it if you could add me to your journal, I have added you. thanks!

allo from Twitter

[donnaidh-sidhe.livejournal.com]

I added you on @SEAF2009's recommendation once I mentioned I was interested in seeing what it takes to become a staff photographer for next year's SEAF. Could I talk to you about that? If so, how would be best?

Re: allo from Twitter

[malixe.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to be rude, and I'm not, I'm actually just being honest, and sometimes people confuse the two; but this is just not the best time to ask me about this.

Like many of the other planning committee members, I've got somewhat of a case of Festival fatigue right now, and you're asking me about a problem I've already solved for this year and I'm not real interested in thinking about next year at just this moment. We spend all year planning for it, and the only respite from thinking about it comes (for me at least) about a month after it's over. Like, right now.

Early inquiries impress me. Just not *this* early. :) Frantic inquiries two weeks before the festival after I've already gotten my folks lined up, do not impress me. Check back with me oh, sometime around next February and you'll find me much more receptive. Be prepared to show me an online portfolio of some really good event photography. Not portraits, not studio, and you only get half points for weddings. ;)

Show me that you've had some exposure to or involvement in alternative lifestyle/sex-positive communities and events and that's a bonus.

I hope that helps. That's all I have to say about that for the time being.
