Who'll read your blog if you don't have a friends list and aren't an epically famous bloggist? How do you garner epic blog fame if no one has you on a friends list?

Exactly. There's lots of lameness on livejournal, but a sure way to lameness is to start an annoying blogger/blogspot/whatever blog in an attempt to be cooler.

If you're looking for readers, one sure-fire way is to expose your journal to Google. But you'll have to do something about your habit of mentioning people's misdeeds in conjunction with their full names--that's sure to bite you eventually.
