Since a few people have asked this: I don't mind if you add me to your friends list, but I won't automatically add you back. I only add people to my friends list that I actually want to read, and who I'm willing to trust with my occasional friends-locked posts. I don't care who adds me to their lists, because it doesn't have any affect on me at all (and I'm slightly less pathetic than those people that go 'OMG!!!1! take me off your friends list, like, NOW!1!!!').
