Narcissism at its best.
Livejournal is currently underwhelming me. Both the site itself and the people I know on it. LJ is something I set up just after high school, and honestly most of the people on my friends list haven't even posted in god knows how long - or if they do, there is a mutual level of...disinterest in each other.
I'm creating a friends filter for posting. The filter will include people who I believe read my journal - even if they may not be online to do it very often. This obviously includes those that comment frequently and people who are still very close friends of mine, but also people who I don't yet know well enough to be certain. I'm not going to write anyone off.
The main purpose of this is so that I can post more in depth things, more personal things, without worrying about who might be reading it who's on my friends list, but who I probably wouldn't tell normally. But also it stops my entries appearing on people's pages when they have minimal to no interest in reading them, and it hopefully generates a few more comments because they're more interesting entries, being read by people who are more interested. It works both ways, really.
It's the polite version of a friends-cull, to be honest, and as such I will of course end this with the statement: if you're not sure where you stand in this scheme of things and you're interested, send me an e-mail or post a comment. I'm not using this to get rid of as many people as possible, I'm not going to turn you down.
This is narcissism at its best. This is the belief that people even care that I'm doing this :-P which is of course an enormous assumption. That is all.
