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.

Re: damn, there's still 219 of them
Broken Social Scene wrote that song "Lover's Pit" that Brian and Justin get back together to on QaF.
Death Cab for Cutie - ohhh - here's luck and renenet like them and I have DCfC on a mix.
Norah Jones, Incubus - can do without.
The rest...well I am like you - Who are these people?
Re: damn, there's still 219 of them
I know he gives love to Chaka Khan, but did he have to speed up her voice so she sounds like a chipmunk? Also, "Slow Jamz" drags on a bit and is only noteworthy becase Aisha Tyler is in the video. I'll wait for the third single.
Norah Jones, Incubus - can do without.
With you on Incubus, but Norah is too fine to let go. She's in danger of becoming the next Enya, but I find myself not caring.
Also, John Frusciante is the Chili Peppers guitarist not named Flea.
Re: damn, there's still 219 of them
Normally - unless they are Flea, I find myself not caring. Joe was involved in the Buffy Musical, so I'll give him mad props anyway.
