Just joined

I just joined (mostly so I could comment on friends' journal entries without using 'anonymous') but don't really have time to journal, at the moment. I have to get my daughter to school! :)
The whole idea of leaving my thoughts 'out there' for the world to see is kind of strange. Oh well, if anyone's interested, they'll be here (from time to time).

Okay, I'm confuzzled.

How does one add a friend if they haven't already added YOU to THEIR friends list?
