I would do a much better job of keeping up with my LJ friends if I could get friends-locked posts exposed to me, and only me, in Google Reader. However, there is apparently no way to get Livejournal RSS feeds to show friends-locked posts that doesn't involve creating a publicly accessible feed name with my LJ name and password embedded into it.
