friending

Tis the season where some review their friends list and make cuts. I am not one of these. I only un-friend if you become a troll. I am not usually a personal blogger. At times when my life overwhelms me is vent but I usually use my blog for a few fandoms. I READ ALL OF YOURS. I TRY to comment on all I read but sometimes a response doesn't seem required or I don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I LJ-cut my writings so my LOCI friends aren't irritated by my True Blood, Russel Crowe or Hockey stuff and visa versa.

I ask those of you who are friended with me and thinking of culling yours down, that I like to remain friended so I can read YOUR stuff. With my job I don't have a lot of time to blog and read and I would rather read and commiserate or laugh with you or be impressed than bore you.

So basically I guess all this rambling is please allow me to keep access as your friend. You all make my life brighter.

Another note if I haven't commented in a while PM me because LJ has had a tendency to delete my notifications...maybe it was just the December upgrades I hope.

Keep writing my friends, you have at lest 1 person out here reading and who cares.

Yeah I don't get that one. I tend not to un-friend people just to do it. I also tend not to comment unless words come to mind*, despite reading the vast majority of posts.


*Occasionally these words are shall we say, a few bricks shy of a shilling.

That was suppose to be an agreeing amen but apparently I not only can't type I seem to forget to edit before I post. sorry. and only 4 letters. sigh

Oh no worries. I've only unfriended two people in the past 18 months, and they were people I realized after friending that I didn't like them very much. This will not happen to you.

Alternatively, sometimes I am too drained to comment much, unless I feel moved to do so. It's never personal. And I always read what you write (except the LOCI fanfic, only because I rarely read any LOCI fanfic. Like, I've read two in the past year and that was because I was editing them! Just not my thing, just as slash isn't yours.).

I'm glad we have come to this understanding. :)

I don't ever worry about it. So you don't have to on my end.

I honestly haven't seen any posts that you've made recently but that could just be because of the international time difference and I've just missed the post. I'll try to be a better LJ friend.

I love reading your comments on my entries. ♥

I don't post that much. I'm more of a commenter.

I'm the same, I don't think I've ever had a cull of my friends list. The few people I've unfriended have been because I've not agreed with the way that they've posted/behaved. :-)

I also don't always have time to comment, but I do try to read everything on my friends list. :-) It's nice when you get a comment on your entry, but it's not essential, and it's nice to see what's going on for people online. :-D

I don't always comment on things as sometimes it's all been said. Some of peoples storys I don't know the chatactors so don't know what to put as a comment. I unfriend people who when I take the time to comment come back nasty to me.Also if people don't comment at all on any of my posts why should I take the time to read and comment on there'res.

I can't see myself ever unfriending you. :)

Thank you.

Don't worry. I'm not unfriending you (or anyone--yet). I can't comment on locked entries of yours that are under a cut until I'm eighteen, which you already know, but I try to comment on the unlocked ones!

I appreciate those you do comment on. I don't want to be the one to corrupt you or rather steal any innocence of sex you still retain. Most of what is on THURSDAY100 now is 14 years and olkder now, I think.
