Can one troll using LJ Friends?

[barondave]

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.

Well I've known you for the better part of twenty years, I'm assuming that despite the icon you know who I am, though I noticed you never friended me back, so I wasn't sure.

I got phantom frinded twice in the last month, first time, but they both seem intesting people so I'm letting it slide till I have a reason to do otherwise.

I can't see that many LJ friends either. I don't really have time for alll the ones I have now.

I'd rather work on quality than quanitity in LJ friends.

Oh, June smells, almost forgot, Barbecue!

I'll barbecue in January, but when I smell it from all directions, THAT is a June smell. :)

Yes, I figured out who you were (since it says so in your Journal entries). Don't worry about me not friending you back. a) I probably will eventually but b) like most of the people of whom I'm Friend of who are not Friends, I duck into your LJ now and again. This is semi-artibitrary on my part. The connection is still there, and your name crops up whenever I go to my Profile page. Unlike dlacey above, I check it frequently because I'm a narcissist to see what's changed and whether I should go a-foafing.

Mmm.... barbecue! (I bet people in different parts of the country have different smells associated with barbecue, depending on the type of wood in the area, and whether zoning ordinances insist on charcoal, what type of braisse is regional, etc.)

I've only been seriously involved in LJ for a month or so (even though I got my account last summer.) I'm still pleased whenever I've seen that someone friended me back. :-) Yes, I check my profile page often. And there is a utility on mabfan's profile page that can keep track of who has friended (or defriended) you since the last time you checked. (I probably should add that to my profile page...)

Oh, and add my vote to "strawberries." And May is "lilacs."
