Are you friends with yourself?

This particular poll of randomosity was inspired (a) by [livejournal.com profile] toadstoolsmiles magnificent confidence in her own self-love (if you don't know what I'm talking about, go here and here) and (b) looking up a couple people's profiles today and noticing they had themselves friended.


[Poll #1043523]

And if you would friend yourself, assuming you were a different person friending the person you are now, why would you friend yourself? Please take this as an excuse to talk about how cool you are in the comments.

Self-praise: it's the next best thing to sex with your own clone!

Precisely! If you post stuff you're interested in, it is stuff you'd be interested in even if you weren't you.

Unless of course you were the evil Star Trek version of yourself, and had a beard and hated everything you now love. (Well, that's less evil Spock and more Bizarro, but you understand what I'm saying, right?)

And it never occurred to me that friending oneself helped keep track of posting. But my f-list is so big and I post so infrequently I think it's just easier to go to my "recent" page.
