Trimmed The FList

[sisabet]

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.

Oh thank you - I actually had a very difficult time with this - and there are so many people I did not want to cut, that I had to and it is just because there is no way I can keep up with a reading list this size and I was a doofus to let it get this insane. I tried to keep everybody I know in real-life, then the people I've known the longest and the people I know well (as in real names, families, that kind of thing). And then it became - well, what do you know about this person - and I had to answer not a lot - and that was a clue to trim.

However - I am interested in you, and your vids. God, you were a hard one. Shit - I can't give you up. Please forgive the neurotic chick for having a breakdown and go about your business :)
