mousmeI just mercilessly slashed about one-third of my friends' list.
Before anyone gets cold sweats and runs off to check if they're on that list, let me hasten to assure you that it doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore.
Okay, that being said, here's why I did it.
1- I'm simply not going to have the kind of time that I did before to read LiveJournal last year. I'm not going to be online all day long and thus won't be able to compulsively check my friends' page every five minutes.
2- This is, partly, a sanity-saving measure for me. I need to get away from my computer screen and my little online world a bit more. I've been letting it consume me, and that's not good.
I will also be reading some of the journals I've "unfriended" periodically, just to keep up with the news. If momentous things happen, post comments in my journal or email me and point me in the direction of the posts with the momentous news.
I just can't keep up with a list that's 100+ strong, nor is it healthy for me to do so any longer.
I hope you understand.
