Opening up a bigass can of worms, I'm sure...

[themostepotente]

I blame this post entirely on the lovely darkasphodel.

Is my LJ info scary and intimidating? And if it is -- why is it exactly? Several people have said so, and well, I'm wondering if I should mention I crochet doilies to balance out the ebil :P

Fire away, people!

You know . . I've never read it . . . I don't read most people's userinfo on my F'list ^^

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Well, here's your chance, dear.

[licoricegirl.livejournal.com]

See, now the doilies would definitely scare me. Definitely. :D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

ROFL! *falls outta her chair*

[inathunderstorm.livejournal.com]

I think it's lovely, actually :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*loves on the Shannon*

[bogfrog.livejournal.com]

Interesting, not scary.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Grima. *G*

[magicofisis.livejournal.com]

I think I'd be scared if your user info was all I knew about you. Well, not scared so much as convinced I might not want to go out with you on a Saturday night.

However, you've been on my flist a while and you haven't scared me yet, so I wouldn't worry about it.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I'm a kitten, I swear! *G*

[carylic.livejournal.com]

*rereads to refresh memory* ... no. It all looks fine to me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Cool :-)

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I don't find it intimidating at all. Hmmmm... perhaps a bit straight forward?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Straight forward works for me. *G*

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call it scary (Your Dark Mark is really cool, by the way), but intimidating...yes. It's very in your face, with the implication that if anyone reading it doesn't like what they read, they'd better watch their step. At least, that's how it comes across to me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! My friend Sam Posered that for me.

So long as it ain't scary, unless it's scary cool. Does that make sense?

[notrafficlights.livejournal.com]

Not really. You sound cool.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Yay! *snogs*

[venivincere]

It's to-the-point. No lolly-gagging around.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

That's me. The only lolly-gagging I do is sex related :P

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

I like it. Don't change a thing. :) Actually, maybe you should add the doilies bit, just because it'd be super badass.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*snorts*

[tarotemp.livejournal.com]

It's direct, to the point and I have absolutely no problem with it. Don't change a thing!

Very few people know that I listen to heavy metal music, own a handgun AND enjoy quilting, too... :D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Hairbands? *G*

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Not scary to me. States everything nicely and clearly, and makes people very aware of the sort of person they're friending. Cuts out a lot of 'OMG you're into badger diddling!' or what have you later.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Badger diddling? *snickers*

[shighola.livejournal.com]

I love your User Info, it's what made my friend you finally after linking to your journal repeatedly from mutual friends.

Some people are just intimidated by people who are upfront and unapologetic about who they are.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Oooh, now I'm curious. What was it specifically?

[schmoo999.livejournal.com]

No I think that your user info makes you sound very interesting. I have always enjoyed chatting with you and reading your posts darling.

:)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*snuzzes da Schmoo*

[danbi.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the banner? I really don't know. I wasn't intimidated, though I was a little surprised after reading it that you didn't mind having me on your friends list. And I don't say this in a compliment-seeking way, but just that you seem more...I dunno...open? The piercings, the bisexuality, the age...and me, I'm just sort of...angry. Well, a lot angry.

Eh.

But I don't find it scary.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Nonsense, Em -- you're one of my faves :-)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Proud gun owner, now and forever!

[lunarennui.livejournal.com]

not at all, though the doily crocheting is always a good thing.

(i do too.)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Ha ha -- maybe we can combine our efforts and make one big doily? *G*

[balfrog.livejournal.com]

Scary and intimidating is good. I like the green snake. Though it'll probably scare the older fen, and attract 15 year olds.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I haven't seen any youngins on my journal...

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

*glances at your userinfo for the first time in, like, ever*

Well, let's cover the basics here: You talk about being tattoo'ed multiple times, owning guns, being a blackbelt, having degrees in things most people don't even know the meaning of...

And the whole thing is topped with a graphic of the Dark Mark.

Yeah, I can see how someone might consider that a little scary.

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

Though I find it rather amusing. But please! By all means, add the bit about crocheting. Cause I'd find that funny, too. :)

[wastedwinky.livejournal.com]

*long time lurker, first time commenting*

Maby it would be intimidating to ickle kiddies who surreptitiously watch your journal for pr0n and just happen to check out your info page, but I don't think anyone would really be afraid of or intimidated by you after reading it.

I take from it that you're a no-nonsense kind of person who has no time/patience for batshitloco asshats or drama!whores.

I like your info page, it's part of the reason why I friended you.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Don't be shy now. *winks* Comment all you like :-)

[danxsunday.livejournal.com]

Not scary no. Dead set fucking sexy yes.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*takes you off to a dark corner and shags you senseless*

[gmth.livejournal.com]

It's not scary but it is very in-your-face. A lot of people find that intimidating, I've come to learn. And many of the statements you make are very aggressive in tone. But then, the overall tone of your journal is pretty aggressive, IMO, so people who read your userinfo page aren't going to get any surprises about the kind of stuff you post about.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can be overly aggressive, and sometimes I hate that I am, but I'm always honest and straight-forward.

You're very honest too, Gina, and that's why I strongly value your opinion :-)

[saddle_tramp]

*grins* Any slasher who likes horses and admits upfront that they have tattoos, piercings, and multiple automatics gets my approval. Of course, that could be because I own several guns too and would be tattooed and pierced if it weren't for a pesky needle allergy... ;-D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I've never ridden a horse!

[http://users.livejournal.com/__hibiscus/]

I think the Dark Mark is kinda freaky. But on the whole, it's to the point and very honest. I wouldn't change a thing. But like darkasphodel said, adding in the whole crocheting doilies thing would be quite scary. :D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

The Moste Potente = Mad Crocheting Bitch. *G*
