I very rarely do this but...
I think I need to at least make a half assed attempt at it.
Think of it more as a 'cleaning house', and just like in real life this is done rarely and with much reluctance. Done for several reasons:
1. Like others before me, it's hard to keep up with close to 90 people and feel like I know enough to make genuine commentary.
2. I very rarely use CFGs, if I do it's only for boring health or exercise stuff... something like "ate granola for breakfast, walked 3 blocks, and did some light stretching" and the like. If you're on here, you're seeing pretty much everything, family stuff, etc; but I feel like others filter out a lot more. I'm not saying this as a snide or snitty sort of thing, more of expressing that maybe there are different levels of comfort here with each other?
So, if you haven't posted in eons and/or just don't have a lot of interest/time to keep up, take this as a golden opportunity to defriend me. Yes, as well as wielding the "ax" I'm also offering my own throat here, guilt free, no hard feelings (honest). See, most of the reason I thought about doing this cut here today is that I realize there are a lot of people who don't post anymore. I'm also not an idiot, and I know some of you may find me or what I write irritating, morose, boring, whatever. What I write is real life stuff and I know I'm not the most fun or interesting person right now. I just wonder why those of you who don't like me or don't like my posts stick around?
And if you haven't posted in eons but truly want to keep up, I'm OK with that too, just post here and let me know, OK? I understand many of you are simply busy with your jobs, kids, lives! :) I'm not trying to do massive culling or get my list down to X number; I just hope that the list that remains is one that is meaningful with people who truly care about me and what's going on in my life.
***edited to add= if I delete you and you feel you'd like to stay on, just send me an email. I'm mostly just taking off people who haven't posted in my journal or even in their own journals in a very long time.
