Trimmed The FList

I just trimmed over a hundred LJs off my Flist. I had too. I promised. Okay, that wasn't passive-agressive, now was it? Here is me taking responsibilities for my actions: I got to wily-nily with the adding to the list and it was out of control. The fact that I just cut over 100 and I still have an Flist that is unwieldy is pretty indicative of that and at this point filters just are not cutting it.

Last week something important happened and I didn't catch it or see if posted until yesterday. Well, that sucks, and then I get behind and I'm all avoidy of my own reading list and how freaky is that? I mean - I am avoiding, in essence, me. Well, my choices and actually it is totally in character for me to want to avoid dealing with my own actions.

But I want to be manageable, so there have been changes. To tell you the truth - after a while I just started clicking the delete button - at one point I narrowly missed deleting Cappy and she is my sister. I just can't keep all these names straight and half of them sound the same and without the icon to let me know who is who I just went for an overall numbers reduction. If you think I cut you in error, well let me know. I'm certain that is it. Other LJs I cut because we are not in the same fandom, principally, anymore and/or we don't overlap in the fandoms we share. Let's face it: we just don't have anything to really say to each other. Dissenting opinions are great, but right now I am looking at numbers and needing a reduction.

I rarely lock a post. If I do it is because it is usually very personal and private and no one really wants to read those anyway. If you do - well first, bless you, and second - let me know and I'll add you back.

I feel kinda sick to my stomach. Seriously, if I removed your lj and it bothers you (and it shouldn't - this is *not* a personal thing at all - this is about me being stressed out because I went nuts adding) but - if you are bothered, let me know as a frank and open dialogue is very important. For something.

Well, I am sad that I got taken off, but believe me... I totally, totally understand. Honestly, once you get over a certain number of people on your list, it's very difficult to keep up even if you stay online constantly.

I'm still going to keep you on, because I love reading your posts. And like you said, you don't friends lock very often so I won't be missing much anyways.

::hugs::

Oh! Looks like it was someone else who defriended me, not you. I'm insane.

I didn't delete you Luna. If I did - I didn't mean to- honest. You crack me up with your love of Elijah. I got a little happy at the "l"s and I remember thinking to remember not to delete your new name. Damn the new name - messing me up.
