Don't you hate those Friends Only journals?

[paraka]

For reason's completely beyond my comprehension, I have decided that I want to Friends lock my journal.
If you comment I promise to add you. All of my vids will be kept unlocked. Everyone who is currently friended will remain so, if this bothers anyone, tell me, I can probably be talked out of this since it's such a random thing for me (I really do hate it when people flock thier journals, but for some reason I feel the need to do it).

LKSKFJSDKLFJLKDJFLKASDJ OMG HOW DARE YOU LOCK YOUR JOURNAL??? *defriends*

;) Totally kidding...

[paraka]

*gets dramatic*

:O
YOU'RE THE REASON I LOCKED IT!!!!
*defriends*

:P

[shingalingp.livejournal.com]

please friend me. I don't comment in my own lj but I like to read what everyone else has to say, lol...

[paraka]

:P you're already friended.

But yeah I understand the just reading part, it wasn't until I started vidding, and then sort of devoting my life for a few months to communities that I really started updating regularly, before that I would put a few RL posts here and there, but that's it.

I don't mind flocked journals. As long as I'm a friend! LOL
You do whatever you need to do. We'll still all be here for you.

BTW - Money in the mail. Encountered retards at the bank (well, he wasn't really retarded - he was just, like, 12, or something) and at the Post Office. I got pretty close to "going postal" on that bitch, but was afraid I'd get arrested or something. You know, Federal Offense's and all.

[paraka]

I don't actually like flocked journals, when I first came to LJ they really intimidated me. I really don't know why I did it. I had just started locking a bunch of posts, and as I started going through them I realised that there was a lot of my life in here.

Also I can completely understand the problems with postal people. Apperantly it costs twice as much to send a package to Toronto, then it does to California, even though they are the same size and weight. Please explain that to me.

It seems to be an epidemic on my LJ tonight! Anyway, I am a total lurker but would love to be added.

[paraka]

You're already there! :D

[jnine36.livejournal.com]

flock away! BTW...your "friends only" pic is beautiful!

I'll flock the day a RL person says " What's up Jeannine, so talk to me about QAF!" teehee.

[paraka]

This banner was actually one of the first graphics I fiddled with. I had to make a present for edenmalfoy but I didn't have internet on my computer so had no way to get her vid to her, so I made these. I hope you can't tell but there was once upon a time writing over the bottom left hand corner, that was most of the work.

I don't actually have a reason to flock my journal, it seems to be a random whim of mine. Watch me forget to do it half the time....

*am a loser*

[its-ktd.livejournal.com]

FRIENDS LOCKED??? Well, of all the terrible things to do..

Heeheehee. (how do you make a smiley biting his tongue on here?) HEEEE!!!

In my own journal, I lock some entries that I feel I want to keep just within my flist. I'm not sure if I will ever flock all the way... Now I want to make a banner so that ONE DAY, JUST IN CASE... ;)

Hey doll. Any chance I could get you to send me the mp3 that you used of Hair for your Justin's Hair vid? I've been looking all over the place for a copy of it and I can't find the copy you used and I love it. Check out the rambling there. So, any chance I can charm a copy of it out of you?

<3

[paraka]

umm....
*blushes and then looks away*
I think I may possibly have deleted it, I can't seem to find it on my computer.....

[aurora]

Hi! Do you mind adding me to your flist? You seem totally cool ;) and very involved in the QAF fandom. Yay!

Thanks

[paraka]

:) Hey. No that's fine the more the merrier.

[baby-sis.livejournal.com]

Do you mind adding me, so I can keep track of the QaF updates? That way I'll remember to check your LJ and offer up links :)

[paraka]

Ok I've added you. I've been at work all day so I'm just now sitting down to get this all sorted out. All I can say is that if it had to go down, Thursday was a good day to do it :P

[astheyrefalling.livejournal.com]

Mm, I was told by someone to friend you because you knew about QaF downloads... So, -Grins a bit- Ello love...

-Xav

[paraka]

:P Well I'll certainly friend you, but hopefully it'll all be moving to the yahoo group.

[youngest-seeker.livejournal.com]

^_^; I know what you mean about locking it just cause... but I'm a harmless lurker and wish to be added. I followed astheyrefalling here. =)

[paraka]

Hey there. I've gone and added you to my flist. I really didn't have much of a reason to flock my journal at the time, but I'm glad I did it now, although since the only public posts left were fandom related, it's sort of giving people the impression that I'm cool.... Ah well people will soon find out. :P

Also I don't mind lurkers, I used to be a major one, and still sort of consider myself one.

[somedayvet.livejournal.com]

Another one of those weird lurker people that wants to be added ;) *glares at livejournal for deleting qafdownlaods*

[paraka]

ahhh, more animal lovers, as if I'm not surrounded by enough vet wanna be's

*sigh*

Just joking, I've gone and friended you back :)

[dragonessasmith.livejournal.com]

Not-quite-random-yet-friendly SWF lurker, requesting admittance.

[paraka]

hey, I've gone and friended you.

ummm, *blushes* trying not to sound really stupid, but what exactly is SWF? I'll probably hit my head once you tell me, but at the moment I'm drawing a blank....

[divided-poet.livejournal.com]

Another random person requestion friendship? :)

[divided-poet.livejournal.com]

**requesting.
I should really learn to spell.

[machiiina.livejournal.com]

Hey, Lindsay, I just wanted to stop by and say happy birthday and thanks for everything you've done in the qafdl group on Yahoo. I really appreciate it.

Hope you have a fun day. :D

[paraka]

Hey, sorry I took forever and a day to respond, I kind of abandom my LJ in the summer....

Anyways, thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!

Also I'm glad you like the group. I made it for you guys!

[ranksy.livejournal.com]

Happy belated birthday!

(Also requesting friendship)

[paraka]

Thanks!
I've also friended you back.

Warning though, due to my inability to multi task, I havn't been reading my flist lately :( It's not just you, it everyone. I hate it, but there are only so many hours in a day....

[guest-age.livejournal.com]

Hey! Will you friend me, please? I already friended you. :-D

[paraka]

Hey I've friended you back, and left a bunch of random responses on your LJ.

At the moment, I'm not on LJ too much, so I've filtered my flist down, I've put you onto my "read" list so if you get responses from me, they might be a few days later.....

Also do you just want the fandom stuff? Or do you want the Lindsay Stuff too, I've got a seperate filter for the times I go mental.... (doesn't that sound welsoming :P I won't be offeneded whatever you choose :P)

add me please

[oliviazn.livejournal.com]

hey,paraka,i've been in your yahoo-groups for more than a month...thank you for doing many uploaded stuff...i'm also interested in your vids...i am a newbie here ...so please add me...that would be great:)

have a nice day.

olivia

Re: add me please

[paraka]

Hey Oliviazn,
I've added you back, although I must admit, when I turned MSN on today and saw that you added me to your list, I was trying to figure out who the heck you were, then I checked my e-mail :P

I'm glad you like the yahoo group it's really close to my heart, and, as a newbie, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I know it took me forever to find my place in the fandom.

And my vids.... it's been a long time since I've worked on them, I'm hoping that I'll be able to start vidding again, I moved this spring though, and the qafdl started and I got side tracked. Anyways, I'm moving again in 2 weeks (out to your neck of the woods :P) so hopefully I can start vidding again once I've settled down.

One last question, I've got filters on my LJ, would you like to read just about everyday stuff from me, and QaF stuff? or do you want everything? At the moment I just have you on QaF stuff....

[aimeelost.livejournal.com]

hi
will you please add me..I will be very greatfull
keep up your lovely work
Aimee

[paraka]

Hey sorry it took me so long to friend you.
I just moved to China and don't have internet yet so I I just got this now.
I look forward to getting to know you!

[thatluckytouch.livejournal.com]

Hi there,I'm Jolly.I found your LJ through carr0ts1979.
I already friended you.thanks!
Btw,are you in China? when I was college student I studied in Shanghai.

Howdy ho!

[paraka]

Hey!
I've friended you back. It may be boring for a bit, because yes I am in china. I just moved here about 2 weeks ago from Canada, I sort of have a job, that doesn't involve any actual work at the moment, and until I get some real work I don't have internet so my time on line is very limited :P

Anyways I look forward to meeting you :)

PS did you go to see Randy in Equus? what showing did you see if you did?

It's me!!!!!!!

[mysticmoonstar.livejournal.com]

Hey

It's me Andrea, add me

Re: It's me!!!!!!!

[paraka]

Why did you change ou LJ?

OT: Your website

[narnia06.livejournal.com]

Hey, I saw your vid on scrooged_media and I loved it, so I surfed my way on over to your website to check out the rest of your work. I thought I'd let you know that a lot of your links appear to be broken. The Otherman and Open Your Eyes were the only vids that I could manage to download. I haven't gotten a chance to watch them yet, otherwise I'd want to give you feedback. But yeah, I'd love to see the rest of your vids, is there anyway I can get the correct links?

Re: OT: Your website

[paraka]

*blushes*
Yeah, about that....
You see I used to have all of my vids on an angelfire website, but when I moved to China I found out that all angelfire and geocities websites are blocked by the government so I got a new webpage, parakaproductions, but I kind of got distracted when making it :S

Anyways, the angelfire webpage should still be working if you want to go to:
http://www.angelfire.com/folk/paraka

Let me know if that page isn't working, I thought it still was, but I have all of my vids still linked through there, so technically you should have been able to download them all....

Anyways, I'll get working on my webpage tonight so regardless you can get at them.

Also, I'm glad you liked my vid :) It's the first vid I made in Adobe Premiere, so it's diferent then all my others... I also had help making it.

[partyatwallmart.livejournal.com]

yeah i was at your website, and you just seem like a really cool person i almost never ask to be added but *gets down on knees* add me?

[paraka]

Aww, you don't have to beg :P

i was at your website, and you just seem like a really cool person
I'm glad you liked my webpage :D But I'm not sure where you got the second impression from :P

I look forward to getting to know you :)
