silversolitaireThis is a rant into the general direction of people. Take heed:
People say they're doing the infamous springcleaning on their friends list. Saying it's not personal if they remove you. Saying they just don't have the time to keep up with the friends entries. HELLO?!? Why is there this neat little invention called filter? I use it, others use it, it's really simple to make a nice private set of friends you want to read when you're short of time and no one will ever know you're filtering them out. Goddamnit, that's at least a bit more subtle than more or less saying openly into your face "I just don't really care enough for you to bother with your pity life when I'm pressed for time." Suuuuuure, it's not personal, but that's how it fucking feels to me. So there. I am a bitch. Fine! SUE ME! Or better, REMOVE ME! Yeah, it's your journal and you can add and remove whoever the fuck you want, but I can be just as hurt. I usually don't ask to be added, but I'm always very grateful about it and most of the time I'm reading your entries with interest. But dropping me like an old sock I never take very kindly. Whether we were close or not. Doesn't matter. So, if anyone cares, remove me right now. I want to save myself the pain of seeing someone drop off my list whom considered more than just an LJ-acquaintance. But don't be too surprised when I hate you then. I'm a hot-tempered, vindicative person. Deal with it.
Hop on and off friendship

because I don't say this enough.
Date: 2002-05-03 04:12 am (UTC)The term 'spring cleaning' quite frankly is insulting. I hate to think of the day I ever consider friends in such a term.
