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.

Try not to make yourself sick over it, eh? (Any moreso than you already have, anyway.) I friended you because I was interested in what you have to say, not because I wanted to bulk up my "friend of" list. That hasn't changed. I, for one, honestly don't mind - I struggle to keep my flist under 100 and even then I have a hard time reading every post, so I can't imagine how you're managing it in the hundred*s*. ;)
