Totally biting the bullet...

[lettered]

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, a2zmom, crazydiamondsue and 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 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.)

Hey! Yeah, I think it was Maya...and that comm I started and have 3 posts waiting to be made on but never did make them...

I didn't comment on your hd_hols fic I don't think, which makes me sad because I liked it! Some day I'll get on that.

I was kinda thinking about what you said the other day about not being sure fandom is good for you...I feel the same way. I treasure the people I've met, so dearly, and would not change having met them for the world, but--but the drain on my time! Ack.

Oh, yes, the community! Well, I will be looking forward to those posts, whenever you find the time to make them. :)

And yay, I'm happy to hear you liked my hd_hols story. I liked yours as well and don't remember if I commented on it... I was so bad about that, totally meant to go back and read/comment on a bunch of them. I'm trying to do better at keeping up over at worldcup. Which I was insane to sign up for, as you know. LOL Except I have met some lovely people through my participation there.

Here's hoping we'll both strike a good balance between fandom and...well, everything else, hahaha, in the coming months.
