pruning, or, a potentially very mean post

May 25, 2006 10:13

soon i'm going to be slimming down my friends list. this is not personal. if you intend to take it personally, just leave me out of it. it's just a question of whether i've read your journal in ages. i've so gotten carried away with the thought of "meeting" new people, and politely not defriending you but glossing over your posts, that consequently ( Read more... )

the journal considers itself

now THAT there's some discouragement. get off my friends list.

...anyone else notice how the speed of life on the internet is quickly making it seem as though this is the only life, or the fastest life, because we get all our information (such as new words in the lexicon) on the internet?

I swear to God. The rest of the Universe doesn't believe in us.

Have you considered filters? That's what I do.

sashash May 26 2006, 00:23:16 UTC

seems deceptive to me. tried, not into it.

It appears I picked a bad time to stumble upon your LJ. (It's Ciara from the Cantab a few years ago.) I'll add you anyway, but no pressure, no drama, no nothin'. :)

sashash May 26 2006, 00:26:38 UTC

naw, welcome to the party! i know this is a little stalkerly, but do you have a photo of yourself around? i have the worst memory for names. how many years ago are we talking? i stopped religiously Cantabbing in 2001, and have only been back a dozen or so times since.

sashash May 26 2006, 04:22:50 UTC

i take it back. having scoped your Flickr page, i still don't remember you, which is again, no reflection on you or your ability to make an impression at all. what poem(s) would you have read at that time? did we hang out? at someone's house? help me remember!

ciarajanae May 26 2006, 13:45:47 UTC

Nah, we weren't best buds or anything. I just happened to see a comment you left at chryslerpoet's journal with your picture, and thought, "woah, I know that kid." I would've been at the Cantab between 2000-2004, and I suppose the poem that would've made the biggest impression was "game point," about volleyball and sexual assault on the T. (I like to think the poem was better than that summary makes it sound.)

No worries for not remembering; we really only crossed paths a few times. It's just fun to see what the other poets I used to know are up to these days. :)

this from the guy who was giving me tips on friend-list expansion a mere couple of months ago... dude, if you prune me, I am *totally* coming down there and wresting my socks from your filthy nasty feet... ;-)

sashash May 26 2006, 17:24:59 UTC

there's still more than a couple hundred people i want to be in touch with. the top layer, though, had to be slimmed.

sashash May 26 2006, 17:25:36 UTC

& bitch, stay off my socks. i couldn't even find 'em to wear 'em for you to wrestle off my filthy nasty feet.

you lost my socks!?! cuttlefishblues May 26 2006, 17:42:59 UTC

those were my favorite socks ever... my great-great-grandmother bequeathed them to me on her deathbed... and I entrusted them to you. jackass.

yeah, that was more an excuse to insult your feet than anything- figured it would be more the relative stranger category coming under the shears. Can't blame you, I've decided that keeping up with the 3-ish ljfriends I've got who actually post is quite enough for me.

Nosebleeds suck. Could be altitude/un-humidity related.
