Hello world :] ! I'm Chiyo, and yes, I am part of the friends only trend. I don't post very much (and usually when I do, it's spam about "ohmygod you have to listen to this CD!" or "holy shit, I want this skirt from Peace Now"). (Ixnay on that, I've been posting about once a week lately :P) I do browse LJ a lot, and have made some good friends here, so I'd be happy to add you anyway. However, because I am making an effort to actually comment on my friend's LJs and therefore do not want some huge friends list filled with people I've never really been introduced to, it would be a great help to me if you could fill out this itty-bitty form at the bottom of this entry and post it in the comments.
The only real requirements are sharing some common interests with me (i.e. alternative fashion, independent music, etc.) and having an intention of forming an actual friendship. As long as you fill those requirements and fill out the form then it's pretty likely I'll add you, so don't be afraid to drop me a line!
