friends cut

[mijeli]

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 ...

I know I'm not about to be cut, but I'm speaking for the majority of people you cut. (not including myself) They think. "Whatever." "Who cares" "Who the heck is mijeli?" "I am sooooo wounded I actually commented once in a useless way, waaaah"

No way I'm cutting you.

Haha, I know. If they even log into LJ anymore. But what do I know what wounds people? I want to make sure, because I'm polite like that. NOT SNARKY LIKE YOU
