Later today, I'm going to be clearing out my friends list

[conuly]

Not necessarily because of any hard feelings (mostly), but because it just has to be done. It takes me over an hour to read through my friends page every day. That's just not cool anymore, and I've actually been putting this off for a while

I don't lock entries that much, so that's not a problem.

Here's the thing, though - make my life easy. If you don't like me, defriend me now. Seriously, just make both of us a little happier.

I don't think I'm on your flist but I'd like to be.

[conuly]

Yes, you are, I added you just a while ago :) TWICE.

[feebeeglee.livejournal.com]

I looked before I posted and just now looked again and I still don't see me on your profile page as a friend. I'm puzzled.

[feebeeglee.livejournal.com]

And let me add, stupid LJ no doubt.

[conuly]

No, no, I added your feed.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

I'm not planning on going anywhere, but if you want to cut me, no hard feelings.

[conuly]

Thank you for that.

To be honest, I cut a lot of the people I'd been skimming. It's not fair to them (you) or to anybody else. I want to really limit my friends list mostly to people and syndicated journals and comms that I actually read at least some of the time, y'know?

But everybody can still read me, that's for sure!

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

That's pretty-much why I thought you were doing this, and thought that if you had a problem with me personally you'd've said something by now :)

[conuly]

No, there's a specific incident that did prompt this, but you'd know if it was you.

And I really *did* need to clear out this friends list, so I'm quite thankful for it!

[concordantnexus.livejournal.com]

Reading an entire flist?

No no no!

Skim is the way to go! ;)

[conuly]

I do skim.

[mayna.livejournal.com]

I think it takes me an hour, too (skimming, I'll admit to it) only because I haven't been reading every day. I haven't been posting every day either, which is so unlike me.

[conuly]

I *do* read every day, and it takes me *over* an hour - when you count in the links from news articles people post that I read, it can get up to three hours, which is why I just had to cut a lot of people out.

Alas for me, most of the people I cut out were people who never update, but it's a start.

[adina77.livejournal.com]

I noticed I was removed but then again I dont have that much time to update anymore. I'm gone 12 hours a day now anyways. But still read yours. But no plans on removing you. Hope all is well.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

I have wondered how you manage to find time to read everyone on your list. I enjoy reading the articles you post (and I do read many of them!) but I know I update a lot, so if you want to cut me, go right ahead. I'll still love you through parenting101.

Or, I can put you on a different journal filter if you want so you never see my millions of kid entries.

[conuly]

I sit on my ass a lot, that's how.

And no, you're not cut. It's over now. I'm not detailing the process, of course.

I do like you, so no, I won't defriend you. ;) Unless that would indeed make you happy (and I'm hoping that won't be the case). I just happen to like a lot of the stuff you post on autism and social issues, even if I don't comment frequently. ^__^

[conuly]

Nah, even if I disliked you, which I don't, I don't have the energy to care about who's got me friended.

[ser-kai.livejournal.com]

I adore you. :-)

[interactiveleaf.livejournal.com]

For the record: I read your journal because I find it interesting. I have no emotional investment in whether you read mine or not.

So if my journal isn't to your taste, cut it. It's all good.

[peaceofpie.livejournal.com]

I like you a lot and I really enjoy reading your journal. I've also really appreciated some of your comments on mine in the past, especially when I've posted about disability issues and autism stuff. Usually I don't keep reading journals of people who don't read mine, but yours is one I really do want to keep reading. I'd love to have you stick around on mine too, but my feelings aren't hurt if you don't want to and I will continue to read yours as long as you continue to be interesting. ;-)

Don't make me cry, k? ;)

I hear you on the friend thing getting wild, though. It takes me a FEW hours, but thats more because I disappear for a couple weeks. :(
