It's Lion Turtles all the way down ([personal profile] lettered) wrote2008-05-05 11:00 am

Totally biting the bullet...

I'm that person. You know the one. The one that flounced away and said she was quitting lj, fandom, the internet, and life forever, and then came back from the dead.

I am Ms Scribe.

(No, wait, did Ms Scribe actually do that? Among her crimes, I don't recall that killing her own self off and then revealing it as a hoax was one. Someone else did that though, right?)

But anyway you can call me Quitter for short.

Speaking of short, [livejournal.com profile] a2zmom, [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue and [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga. Also Billie Piper's Mansfield Park, which, I mean, thank God. Speaking of Doctor Who and Jane Austen, did you guys know Sally Sparrow is in the new Northanger Abbey? But not as hot as Sally Sparrow because she's not, you know, Sally Sparrow.

No, actually I meant, speaking of short, here's a brief explanation (but [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue told me once that name dropping in your lj totally gets you comments) : I left LJ because I thought it didn't have what I wanted any more. Turns out, it does have what I want, and that is you all. Or half of you.

Ha, kidding. But speaking of short again . . .

Bit of admin stuff: I am going to do a major flist reduction in the next week or so. My flist isn't a list of my friends. It's also not a reading list. If I cut you, I will probably still drop in and read you from time to time. What I want it to be, and what I need it to be right now for me, is something short I can check every day. That's why I'm narrowing it to a. very close friends and b. what I happen to be interested in right now, c. people I like who hardly ever post. When I have time, I'll still bop around to other journals and try to keep up with them.

Nevertheless, if you really really don't want me to cut you for reasons of your own, leave a comment here and I'll keep you. I don't really want anyone to think I don't care.

(Except for you. Yes you. I don't care about you, or your pony, or your grandmother's corns.)

I completely understand if you cut me and I won't be hurt. :-)

Believe me, I understand the whole "Not enough hours in the day" crunch and I totally get where you're coming from.

I hope you don't mind if I leave you friended, but please don't feel obligated to return the favor.

Yeah, it's totally a crunch thing. And you're my go-to person for FINDING OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, so I'll be in ur journal even if you're not on my "list". The friend moniker is so stupid.

Eventually when I get more things in order I'll be restructuring the list again. I actually have a whole list of fic by you saved up to read for the days when I have time!

Oh, agreed.

I was just thinking today how the whole "friend" title is making me feel sad, especially since I'll be doing a ton of activities this summer (yoga, kayaking, and hopefully some on-foot rambling) that'll be pulling me away from the computer often enough that I'll need to set up a reading filter so I'll be able to keep up with a smaller list, as opposed to the scan-and-forget system I seem to have now. *nods*

No worries at my end. Feel free to drop by anytime and comment. :-)

And it's good to see you back in the neighborhood.
