If you are reading this, you probably don’t need to do anything. This is just a note to say that yes, I do have a proper Grown Up blog these days, which is a should-be-unneeded concession to the people who complain that LiveJournal users aren’t proper bloggers and therefore won’t take me seriously like unless I sit at the grown-up table.

I usually announce here when I do one of those general sweeping cuts of my friendslist, partly to create a space where people can discuss that cut - though obviously people rarely do, but mostly as a open Dear John letter, that generally means 'It's not you, it's me'; 400 total blogs,.including journals communities and outside feeds is a lot, and I ( Read more... )

And lo, this is what I have been doing today. Exciting, innit?
