Catching Up

[paraka]

So, in the spirit of Valentines day, I just did a massive defriending. I feel really, really bad about this, but most of the people I defriended hadn't updated in months, if not years. Mostly it was people who have abandoned their LJs, or have moved on to different fandoms and we never talk. I hardly ever lock anything, but if you were one of the people I defriended and you still read my journal, let me know, and I'll refriend you.

But since we're on the subject of defriending, I thought I'd make one of those statements, so, if you currently have me friended, bu feel we don't have that much in common anymore, please take this post as an invitation to defriend me.

Oh!
Completely unrelated, but I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Midway, are people on my flist still missing it? It's hit the torrents and general eps comms, but if anyone is still missing it, I'd be happy to upload a copy of it.

I would love "Midway," but I can't grab anything off of MU, so I'll sit here and be patient.

I did a mass defriending two years ago, cutting a few that made me uncomforable but mostly people that rarely or never commented so I didn't figure they were even reading my journal anyway (I know filters are rather popular these days), and I was surprised at how many people got offended, even though I said I'd happily refriend anyone who had actually been following me. No one said they wanted back on, but several people left me really snippy comments before they defriended me back. People who had never left a single comment up to that point. I think people just don't like to be defriended, even by people they don't particularly like.

That said, if you ever defriend me there will be much wailing and rending of garments and rubbing of ashes into poorly shaven scalps.
