So, okay, I made another cake today. I had to improvise on the butter part, 'cause we had no sticks of butter (and the recipie requires a stick of softened butter) and I'm scooping the butter out of the Country Crock dish, hoping I don't put too much butter in or whatever. Then the TOP OF THE CAKE DEFLATED when I took it out. And so, we currently have a frosted concave cake in our dining room. Doesn't matter. Still tastes good anyway.

I keep checking the "schools" feature to see if anyone I know has them in their profile. Beats classmates.com, where you have to PAY to friggin' e-mail people. Gah. How frustrating!

Random question of the day: you become famous for some reason. You decide to keep a blog. Do you A.) keep the same LJ, but lock all previous entries, B.) get a new journal and delete the first one, or C.) friends-lock your current journal and make friends-only posts for the people who knew you back when, and create a separate one for your adoring fans?

Now I possibly go off to either heat up some eggrolls or do homework. Preferably both.

Option C

Because I am egotistical and like to think about such things... I've actually already considered this question. I think that I would keep the same journal i've always had, but create a filter for all of the lj friends I've had from way back when.

C

Hm, that's tough. I would pick C, but then there's always a chance (a very good one) that either the public will get access to one of your friends' accounts and therefore be able to read your posts, or one of your friends will betray you and copy/paste your posts anonymously somewhere else (on fan message boards, etc.). I would definitely do A regardless, lock all previous entries. I wouldn't delete the journal because I'm sentimental like that. Or, maybe I would download it and then delete it.

B, but the new journal would be totally private.

C. I'd keep this one for my REAL friends who I trust, and make a new one for the weirdo stalker fans. ;)

Your Random Question

[robbiewriter.livejournal.com]

...is actually not so random to me. Or, rather, it is Random. LOL.

So. Yeah, I've been faced with it. Becoming "famous," I mean, and staring at my livejournal and wondering what to do with it. In the end, I did what most people were kind of shocked about. I mean, I've had this thing since I was fifteen. There's a lot of random stuff in it about my life and the lives of other people who are, uh, kind of famous too.

I basically went back and deleted everything "controversial," and then I friends locked everything that had to do with relationships of mine (esp since the men in these relationships happened to be kind of, uh, well known). Every now and then I friends lock an entry that I don't want people I don't know reading.

But I'm always aware that I'm writing for an audience, so I'm never perfectly honest. I know that Random House keeps track of my blog, and I don't want to wind up like Jolie in NYC, even if everything did turn out okay for her. Still, I wish I could change the name of my blog. I mean, "Robbiewriter?" Come on. How babyish. I've titled the thing Queued Paper, and maybe I can forward to a subdomain, ie queuedpaper.robynschneider.com or something, but it won't be the same.

In short, if you ever get "famous" your blog will change drastically. You will be "friend of" more people than you know what to do with. Your agent will call and yell at you that your blog is a press leak (this happened), and you will keep yourself from updating with cute quizes or memes because people expect more than that from you.

That's some very good points from robbiewriter up there.

I'd choose C.

[mellowdee.livejournal.com]

I'd do A. I love my LJ too much.

[confused11390.livejournal.com]

I think c.

[alice-ash.livejournal.com]

i'd leave mine completely open, i dont say anything really secretive anyway. my fans would probably all just decide i was boring XD

[poofusgirl.livejournal.com]

C, but I'd make sure all entries were locked in my current journal. And have no mention of my friends-only journal in the ones for my fans.

[waderapspoorly.livejournal.com]

C, definitely. Though, being me, I'd probably write pretty much the same thing in both of them.

[brittuhknee.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Probably C>

[cattikins.livejournal.com]

C, and I'm jealous because I TOTALLY WANT CAKE.
