Frequently Asked Questions, the chibirhm Edition

Who the fuck are you?
Hi, my name is Julia. I'm 201 years old, I live in the Boston area, and I don't like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, or long walks on the beach, though I am amenable to short or normal-sized ones. I have red hair. I'm short. I wear glasses. I'm a really mouthy INFP. I was raised by dirty hippies. I'm that socialistic, fag-loving, abortionist, arugula-eating, pretentious, indie, intellectual elitist you keep hearing about, in case you were wondering. It's really nice to finally meet you.

What the hell does "ChibiRHM" mean?
"Chibi" in Japanese means "little" in a both affectionate and derogatory way, it's the equivalent of calling someone a "squirt" or "pipsqueak", only less cheesy and generally nicer. I am small. Hence that part. RHM comes from a nickname my old journalism teacher gave me, which was Red Headed Monster. My username means "Little Red-Headed Monster". Voila.

I found another ChibiRHM on a different site. Is that you?
Probably. No matter what site I need to create a username for, I've never found a duplicate ChibiRHM.

Why can't I read all your entries?
Some are friends-locked. Even if you're on my friends list, I have filters, mostly for when people in real life are annoying me, as people are bound to do eventually, and I need to just vent about them, or when I have something to say about my home town and that would make it easy for you to find me, like my phone number, and then I only want my real-life friends to respond. It's not personal.

You haven't friended me/defriended me. Why?
It's nothing personal, I friend and defriend people based on if I feel like I know them enough to warranty them reading my personal shit. If I don't feel like you're going to be nice or that we have much in common or you rarely update and I don't know you in real life, chances are I won't friend you. If you want to change that, comment a lot or IM me (you should be able to figure out my screename). If we talk, chances are we'll end up getting along. I'm much more likable online than I am in person, apparently.

You never comment on my LJ entries!
Chances are I don't have a lot to say, or I'll IM you instead if I do. If it really means a lot to you, I'll comment.

Why does your icon change all the time?
It reflects my mood.

Why don't you update?
I blog professionally and shit. See my stickypost. Old fandomy posts are still unlocked.

If you're not in high school and you're not in college, what are you doing with your life?
That's a really good question that I don't know the answer to, so really, nothing. Jobs are had to find, plus, I have like no fucking idea what I want to do with my life. And no one wants to hire you for an internship without a college education. Life is hard, dudes.

If you want to know WHY I'm doing nothing and not in college on a more personal level, you can read all about my neuroses and various issues here.

Who the hell is ____?
People come and go and pop up here and there, sometimes after long absences. I don't know who reads my journal, and I don't know what they know or how long they've been there, and I don't have time to re-re-re explain my relationships, nor do I want to bre people. If you read an entry and have no idea who I'm talking about, leave a comment. I'll explain.

You're awesome.
I like to think so.

Can I IM you/e-mail you/stalk you?
I prefer no stalking, but I welcome IMs and e-mails as long as you're not a jerk and explain who you are.
