15. If you find yourself visiting someone's journal a lot just friend them anyway, and leave a comment saying 'hey, you're cool, and I like your entries!'. Yeah, they may not friend you back, or let you into their most secret privacy filter, but you gotta start somewhere, you know? And if they don't friend you back, oh well, you still get their public entries that caught you in the first place on your friends list! I used to be so high-strung about fandom friendships and now I'm just like, if it happens, it happens. If not, no skin off my back.
