Bio:Thanks for checking out my profile.  My name's Chris, and I chose the LiveJournal username Tidus because I love the PlayStation 2 game Final Fantasy X.  I randomly add people whose journals I enjoy reading to my friends list, even if I don't know you... because I'm hoping to get to know you better by reading what you write.  The communities listed below were all created by me, and I solely maintain them all.

I don't update my journal daily... and in fact, sometimes it takes me months to update.  I'm a very busy guy, and thus do not have time to read every entry that appears on my friends page every day.  Instead, I visit people's journals directly at random times to try to catch up on their lives.  If this bothers you, I understand... but it's the best I can do with almost no free time, and over 630 people currently listing me as a friend.

Once we've added eachother to our respective friends lists, I'll immediately notice if you remove me... and I'll probably ask you why you did it.  If you don't promise to answer that question should I ever ask it, don't add me to your friends list.  If that's not a problem for you, feel free to add me as a friend.  I'll usually add you as a friend in return immediately, most often within 12 hours.  It hurts me when people remove me from their list, but they refuse to explain to me why.  If you don't understand why I feel that way, ask me.

Other things that bother me about LiveJournal users include people who whine about their icons being "stolen", when their icon is a cropped image they didn't originally create or even get permission to use... even if they animated that image.  They've technically had a picture stolen from them that they stole themselves, and I have no sympathy for this.  If you own the image's copyright, or the person who created the image considers you a friend, feel free to whine... but otherwise, don't take credit for work that wasn't originally your own.  Animating an image doesn't make it yours.

It also bothers me when someone whines about being added to someone else's friends list.  It's not like you're obligated to do anything when a stranger is kind enough to add you as her/his friend.  They don't need to ask your permission to, nor should anyone feel such an obligation.  In fact, it's a courtesy that someone would add a person as a friend at all... and if people never did so, LiveJournal wouldn't have ever succeeded to begin with.

Politely ask the person to remove you if for some reason it's harming your existence to appear on someone else's list, as simply adding someone to your friends list is not a negative thing in and of itself.  Ban the user with the console if they don't remove you in a timely fashion, as that will remove their name from your user information page entirely... but quit whining about it.  It's a waste of bandwidth, and LiveJournal has enough real drama on it already.

If you'd like to learn more about me, leave a comment on any LiveJournal entry I've written with a question.  If you want to keep it private, delete the entry afterwards (as it'll already have been sent to me by e-mail) or just send me an e-mail in the first place.  If you want some basic information first, check out my personal Web site.  It's got plenty of information about me, including some pictures.  I've also written some poetry if you're interested in reading it.

Feel free to contact me at any time, for any reason at all.  I don't even mind phone calls from anyone... so here's my phone number in a public post, if you want it.  I don't check my e-mail as often as I'd like to, but I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.  If you want to reach me quickly, you can also send a very short e-mail to my cellular phone.  Just be sure to keep it very brief, or else my phone will cut off the end of it.

Be sure to leave a phone number I can reach you at if you want me to call you back... and don't worry about the long distance charges, as it's free for me to call anywhere in the US from my cell.  Actually, I don't even mind calling Canada if that's where you live.  I can also simply e-mail you back from my phone if you'd prefer... just don't put a phone number in your message.  You can even send me a text message (SMS, or EMS from Verizon Wireless) if you'd like.  :)

If you have a problem with anything related to my LiveJournal, e-mail me.  Rude comments left in my journal will be deleted and ignored after I copy down your IP address, and report you for abuse... whereas I will respond to e-mail if you have a legitimate concern about any objectionable material I could post.  Then again, no one's ever been rude to me in this way... so hopefully I'll never have to worry about this.

People have said I'm generally easy to get along with, and I'll do most anything for a friend.  Just try not to accuse me of something you haven't personally witnessed, though asking me is fine... as very few things piss me off more than being accused of lying when I haven't done a thing wrong.  I can't even stand someone hinting at it.  So... if you need something, just ask.  Don't go out of your way to piss me off, and I'll probably really enjoy our friendship for as long as we stay in touch.  :)

When we are gone, all that is left of us is the difference we made in this world.  Make your difference a positive one.
