Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Well, I know that on occasion I've done a post about things I would like to have (don't need, but want) and if it's HP stuff, I've linked, but that's only because I know others on my flist might like those items themselves. I'm with you, there's a difference between having a small list of friends and venting, and knowing those friends won't actually go buy you something but can sympathise with you when you can't afford something you need, and to blatantly linking to stuff knowing someone will get it.

I actually removed someone from my friends list once for this. It was when LJ was offering to give you a permanent account for like US$150. She made a post mentioning it was her birthday shortly and how wonderful it would be to have a permanent account but she couldn't afford it, then the next day was a OMG! post about how she couldn't believe someone had bought it for her. Yeah, right. I removed her that day.
