frenzy of the mind

It's time for the Unpopular 'friends cut' Post. I hate the term. I'm not cutting people; I'm cutting online pseuds I no longer connect with people. I hope that much is obvious!
My flist has grown to a crazy number of 154(!) mutual friends, and as I go through the names, I'm realising I haven't interacted with certain people in forever - if ever. Much as I appreciate the sentiment of someone with similar interests putting me on their radar, I don't see the point anymore. And please be ensured that even if I defriended you, I still value your opinion and the exchange with you, e.g. in comms. Sometimes interaction in neutral environments is all we want, no?

But my journal is my notepad, and I want to feel I know every single person who might (theoretically) be reading my entries. So I'm cutting people I no longer feel close to or I feel aren't interested anyway. [Or who simply haven't given a sign of life for years..] Please don't be offended! This is, of course, also the moment for you to defriend me if you've had enough of me.

If you feel I cut you and shouldn't have, tell me now ;) But I believe that friending business is mostly a mutual sentiment anyway.

And THANK YOU tsuvi, asya_ana and hollys_tree for the v-gifts! ♥ I almost feel like I went to 'trick or treat' this year ...

Dear Humans,

This journal is friends only, because I want to know whom I share my oddities with. Feel free to add me, though! I love to make new acquaintances, and if we have something in common, I'll add you back.
You don't have to "ask" of course, but I'd appreciate it if you left a comment here to let me know how you found me and why you think we should exchange our thoughts.

My journal basically consists of metal, show reviews, music or art recommendations, fangirling, stupidity, awesome photos, endless elaborations, odd views on the world, and my obtrusive everyday philosophy. I'm always in for deep conversations, if only sparked by another mundane rant observation. My world is immature and wise.  If that doesn't deter you, come in!

If you're looking for my fan art or writing, I never post it in this journal, but it generally resides in the respective communities. The links are here, in my memories.


So for now, I myself leave you with Mr. White Rabbit, but that doesn't mean you can't take your time.

love
-Alice

That said, here's an advertisement for Metal Community, a headbanger's home on lj.
(In case you want to now, the band I used fer picture is Gatecrusher from Munich)




I'm about to apply at the haven and well we'll see what they think of me :O

Oh and by the happy way: I just received an answer to my abroad term application - either this winter or next summer term I'll be spending in Oslo :) I'm cheerful like a little cutlet.
