When I first got my LJ I was really uncomfortable with the fact that it was called a 'friends list'. Adding people seemed like going up to complete strangers and declaring, 'You are my friend now, whether you like it or not!' But I suppose 'List of people whose journals I like to read, for whatever reason' doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
It's odd because everyone seems to have different policies on friending. I tend to friend people because I like their fic or because their journal's just a fun or interesting read. I'm not going to unfriend them just because they don't friend me back - it doesn't stop me enjoying their journal.
