FYI: for non-LJ people

I realize I have a few occasional readers who are not on LiveJournal themselves, so I thought I'd let you all know something: not everything on LJ shows up. The owner of a journal can lock entries to show only to people on their friends list, only to certain people on their friends list (i.e., a custom group or CG), or to only show when the owner him- or herself is logged on.

So, if you want to read what isn't being revealed to the public, you have to open yourself a free LJ account, then let your friends on LJ know what your name is so they can add you to their friends list. That way, when you log on, the entries locked to "friends only" will be available for your reading pleasure.
