Friends Cut
So, I just did a pretty big friends cut. Basically, I see LJ as essentially a place to bare my soul and also a place to connect with people. I had a lot of people listed as friends (therefore giving you access) who I haven't had a conversation of any kind with in at least a year. Whether by them commenting on my entries or replying to my comments on their entries.
While I don't always have the focus to read and comment on entries, I do read every entry and I guess I would just rather not clog up people's friends lists if they have no interest in reading my entries and interacting with me.
Now, if I've removed you in error, please let me know. I'm happy to add you back.
These removals aren't personal in any way. Sometimes people do grow apart. It happens, and it's not something to have hard feelings over. But if you're interested in reconnecting, by all means leave a comment to this post :)
Also, if you've been wanting to leave my friends list and haven't felt comfortable doing so, by all means go ahead. Again, no hard feelings.
And for those that I've kept around-you have nothing to worry about in regards to this silly pingbacks business. I have no desire to link to anyone's personal journal entries, ever. I wish the LJ powers that be would realize that LJ is NOT social networking or blogging. It's a JOURNAL where you share your thoughts with your close personal friends. Period. End of story.
Anyway, hope you are all well.
