Friday Five and TGIF

1. What is the worst experience you've had with a person on LiveJournal?
So, I think this person and I have unfriended already, I think. But it wasn't this person's problem. So one time this person posted something (I don't really remember about what, maybe a pet passing away or something), so I just comment about my two cents. I think I gave some sort of condolence about the pet not being in pain (I guess, the usual thing you say?). Certainly this other person comes bashing about whatnot. Honestly, I really don't remember what it was. Later, the original poster sends me a PM apologizing, apparently that's the brother/sister who just randomly lashes out at people sometimes. Whatever. It was weird. But other than that, my time at LJ has been pretty good.

2. What is the best experience you've had with a person on LiveJournal?
I've come to know quite a bit of interesting people. There's samedi who was either my first friend or one of my first friends, from even before LJ times (I think we were Diaryland buddies back then), I sent him a (probably fake) jade snake or some animal from the Chinese horoscope... that year his sign needed a snake or something, so I sent him one for fun and cultural exchange, haha. The longest person I've known on LJ that's still active to date is kurikuribebi, I already don't remember how we met. Then there's meerkat77 with whom I sometimes exchange travel postcards.

3. Have you made any new friends via LiveJournal?
I consider a lot of people I've met on LJ as friends. Of course there are some people whom we don't quite click, but there are also those that I have a little more interaction with (be that because they are more active, or the things they write about click more, etc) so there are some that I know better than others..

4. Have you lost friends via LiveJournal (e.g., fighting, gossip)?
I don't think so, other than a few people who finally decided that "we don't click" and thus unfriended. So it's not like I've lost friends due to big fights on LJ or whatnot. I hardly have IRL friends on LJ.

5. Has one of your friends joined LiveJournal because you mentioned you were here or because you invited them to the site?
I think my sister had a stint on LJ for a bit. I think her username is kikakat. Another friend whom I know has an LJ but right now I don't remember her username, and I'm not linking her either because I know she likes to stay under the radar. I also don't remember if someone invited me to LJ or I waited out until they ceased the invite-only thing.

Off-topic-wise...
Before LJ, I had a Diaryland, worked on a fan website through Pita, tried out the Xanga, hated the MSN Spaces, got the LJ, had a fling with Blogger, had some other journal that used the LJ code (I really don't remember the name, deadjournal? or something), spent a lot of time on Wordpress, then decided to come back to LJ. Still have an Ameblo, trying to understand Tumblr, but I'm not budging from LJ.

Yay, thefridayfive done, this week the questions are interesting.
