I am terrible at the "please friend me because I friended you" comments. I find them a little tacky, but also not saying anything and being a drive-by friender is weird too...

Instructions:
If I friended you: I would absolutely love it if you friended me back. I friended you for a reason: I like you/ think you're interesting/ like your art-sense of humor- etc/ want to be your friend. I don't mind cursing and personal stuff. I actually really like the friends-locked-personal stuff because I have no life. Of course, If I friended you, you have the ability to look through past entries. I am not a very interesting person and I don't post much (I'm lucky if it's once a week). I don't really do meme's/quizzes/etc. So I won't clog up your f-page.

If you friended me: Please leave a comment. If you found me from somewhere, tell me where and how I might know you. If you have no clue who I am from any of the sites listed in my links list, please make a short introduction in the comments. I'll look at your journal and most likely friend you back (unless you are one of those bots that LJ doesn't seem to have a handle on...)

Thank you.

Updated 9-2010: Since this journal is mostly friends only: NO CROSSPOSTING to Facebook or Twitter. PERIOD.

I cannot vouch for any of these places as I have not used any of them. Some do fanclub memberships, some don’t. Most have some sort of commission fee associated with them.
Google Search "shopping service japan"

Okay, yeah, I'm lame for not pointing it out to everyone *coward*, but

IT'S CONEY!!

Not Connie, not Colley, etc. It's CONEY.

He typed it out himself. コニー (Coney). And  it's spelled コニー in Staff Blogs, etc.
http://gackt.com/gacktblog/?p=1005





Someone who can barely make it through a Japanese sentence shouldn't be the one to get it right...

And I know that half the people typing it wrong don't even look at his blog (to see it spelled out for themselves), but come on....

[rant over]

If somebody wants to post this (or something like it) in Dears or elsewhere, you can.
