Can one troll using LJ Friends?

Twice in the past few weeks I've been Friended by someone I didn't know and had no Friends in common with, who had over 700 Friends. The last one was from Moscow, and her Profile and LJ were in Cyrillic. I foafed a bit, and left a post or two, but nothing ever came of it, and both times I was de-Friended about 24 hours later. Is this common? Has this happened to you? What's going on? How did they find me with ten million LJ accounts to look through?

If you don't know (or if you want something else to talk about), please post the smell you most associate with the month of June.

June scents: Peonies (cabbage roses) and iris. One was in my grandparents' yard; the other was in ours. If I ever have a garden of my own, I'll probably ask [livejournal.com profile] laurel about which one it was (she mentioned something in her LJ), and plant some of the same variety. Oh, and maybe honeysuckle or whatever flowering shrub is currently opening up in the neighborhood right now.

Usually I'm friended by people I actually know (e.g., after a convention) or friends of friends. I've never experienced the thing you had, generic serial frienders. Is that the right term?

generic serial frienders

I like it. There are some people who just go hog wild with the Power To Be Everywhere. Fine and dandy, but I did my Chatroom Dozens Of Posters Simultaneously a long time ago...

Your scents are close to mine. If I had to pick a scent specifically for June (which is hard and probably unfair), it would be clover. Fresh, cut, clover. Not grass; I dunno. It's a very precise smell.
