I'm finally doing something I should've done a long time ago, and about a thousand times over. I'm having a proper friendslist cull. I'm starting to realise that I'm being too diplomatic in who I add and who I keep on, and it's boring now. Keeping people on my friendslist because I don't want to reduce my numbers by having them take me off is, quite frankly, silly.
I'm removing people for the following reasons:
1. You've annoyed me somehow, and I can't bring myself to discuss it with you, and I don't think there's enough of a friendship between us to make the effort.
2. You're nice in person, but your journal bores the shit out of me.
3. I like you, but you never post or comment, or you do so incredibly seldom, and when you do, it's nothing I find interesting.
4. You don't connect with me, and I don't know you very well.
5. I plain don't like you, but don't want it to look that way.
6. I want to stop using livejournal as an easy way to communicate with you when I think I should get to know you better in person.
7. I only want to be friends with you for ego reasons, rather than because we actually have anything in common, and I don't actually read your journal.
8. You only want to be friends with me for ego reasons, etc, etc (see point 7).
9. I feel uncomfortable reading about your life, when I get the impression you're keeping me on your list for the same reasons as mentioned in my initial paragraph.
10. I think you only read my journal so you've got something extra to gossip about.
Doesn't necessarily mean I don't like you (although in some cases, it does). Doesn't mean I won't read your journal. And for the eternally paranoid, just because you're still on my list, doesn't mean you don't fall into one of the above categories... just means I have more reasons to keep you on :)

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Here is a meme, as stolen from various people, and bastardised by yours truly.
I'm actually not spicing up my userinfo page, I quite like it the way it is. However, if you feel like trying to say something about me which is worth recording, more likely on my website than here, go ahead. It can be serious and honest, full of total buffoonery, a blatant set of lies, a long list of nasty flames or whatever you see fit, I really couldn't care less.

RIP Christopher Reeve, 1952 - 2004.
I think I speak for all the 80's children like me out there, when I say that this is very sad news. I, for one, was following his progress closely after his accident, and hoping for him to make a good recovery. I was overjoyed when I found out he'd started speaking again - there was a time when they never thought he'd even wake up. And now, he ends up dying in such an undignified manner... well, it's a tragedy, plain and simple.
You'll be missed, Christopher.

9:55 am - TV bitch.
|
I watched a "documentary" last night about marriage (or more specifically - weddings), which appeared to be little more than a pastiche of apparent traditions, a "look at the freaks" veiw at a few select couples (a Christian couple, a lesbian couple, and an older couple, one of whom was doing this second time around), along with a presenter who chose to cast a rather disparaging eye on modern marriage, and how it's doomed to failure, regardless of anyone's efforts.
I can't begin to say how tacky the whole thing appeared. I ended up watching it nearly to the end, because of train wreck values, but really. I expected better from BBC3.

I've seen a lot of talk about Dan Brown and his books on my friendslist of late, and I'm wondering if anyone has read Digital Fortress yet? Seems everyone has read the other three, but no mention of the most recent one. Either way, I'm hoping to pick up a copy as soon as possible, and wouldn't mind a review. No spoilers, no blurb, just whether it was good, and why :)

I'm not really connecting with everyone on my flist right now, so I'm having a bit of a cull. As usual, if you've offended me, you'll know about it - if I remove you now, it's just because I'm not relating much to your journal. No offence intended :)
Edit: A word about my flist... removals are rarely permanent. Also, I will continue to read your journal if you keep me added, albeit a lot less frequently.

2:14 pm - Silly crush meme thing.
|
And I have no fucking idea who they are! I typed in 4 names off the top of my head, and none of them matched, so I'm stumped.
Does anyone want to own up? Anonymously or otherwise. I'm not the type of person who gets wierd if people fancy me and there's a reason I can't reciprocate. Heh, for some reason, a good number of my friends do or have had a thing for me at some point ;)
*puts horn down*
Go on, I'm curious.
Edit: Silly thing. I know who you are are, and there are no surprises, even the ones that were actual crushes. I added everyone then took everyone off again. I can't be bothered with it. If you fancy me, just bloody tell me, otherwise it's your loss :p

Starting a meme, because I'm bored. It's a simple re-hashing of ones done in the past, but please join in :)
Tell me something, ask me something, show me something. Post in the comments, and POST ANONYMOUSLY. It can be anything you want, so long as it is informative or inquisitive.
Then copy & paste into your own journal, and find out what interesting things your friends have to share with you.

A mish-mash of two current memes. Read carefully:
Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything you want.
And also:
Invent a memory of me and post it in the comments. It can be anything you want, so long as it's something that's never happened.
Feel free to do either one, or both. The trick will be whether anyone can figure out which is real and which is false. Maybe even I won't be able to figure it out :) Anonymous comments are welcome, but may be deleted if the subject matter is delicate.

OK, so people are taking sides anyway, even though there really aren't any sides to take... Maybe I'm being childish, maybe I'm playing the same games as all the other people who like to make a big deal when a big deal isn't there. Maybe this doesn't need to be done. Maybe I'm just curious to know what is thought about this. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe if I close my eyes for long enough you'll all go away.
