Some of the user names removed are people who I still consider good friends of mine, but people who have left LJ (And I have added on other sites). If you fit into that category I still love you and would add you back in a heartbeat if you actually return to LJ land :)
Been thinking about it for a little while and figured since there are some I don't talk to much/don't have much in common I decided to do a little cut. It's nothing personal or anything like that. :)
