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

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.

Okay. I've cut (I think) as many people as I'm cutting for now

But if my friends page is insane again tomorrow, I might trim some more.

For the record, there *was* one specific person who prompted this by... well, by being upset at me, and with good reason, but I don't want to deal with that anymore. This person knows who s/he is, I'm sure, or at least can figure it out.

However, I'd intended to trim the list for months, and I just hadn't. What I basically did is I cut out the people who are deleted and/or never update for starters (which doesn't help my goal of limiting posts, but it did get rid of the clutter), and then I went and cut out people whom I mostly or always skim. I don't think that's fair to them, or to anybody else whom I feel closer to but can't really pay attention to because I'm busy skimming everybody else!

And like I said, everybody and their dog can friend me, I don't mind. Hitler could friend me, and I wouldn't mind, so youse guys (whom I like, unlike Hitler) can certainly keep me friended!

Just, if you've been cut (or suspect you have been) and have a really cool link to show me (it happens), remember that just posting it in your journal won't work anymore, that's the only difference.
