After reading ourglasslake's most recent post, I've cut some friends and communities off my friends list. Most of them are just people I don't know very well, or don't know in person, or communities where I almost never read the posts anyway. Just thought I'd let you know...it's always hard to take people and communities off my friends list.

Funny, I did a house cleaning a few days ago. What was it about ourglasslake's post that made you decide to trim things down?

I know I spend too much time online, and much of it is spent reading and replying to posts by people I don't know or barely know. The reason, in theory, that I have an LJ is to keep in touch with my real life friends. It's a great way to know what's going on in their lives on a day-to-day basis, and to let them know how I'm doing.

With Zoe being off LJ, I forget to call her, or ask how she's doing, or plan times to see her. So I know I won't quit LJ anytime soon. But I do spend too much time doing completely useless stuff. It's hard to cut people from the list... I know some people take it kinda personally.

Glad I'm still around - I like reading your posts.

Well, I did take you off my friends list. But gods only know, most of my posts aren't friends-locked, and you're free to keep me friended if you'd like.

ow. okay.

I'm sorry, it's nothing personal. It's just that I spend, like, half of my life on LJ these days, it feels like.
