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.)

I like how all you do of late is talk about EVERYTHING.

I miss you too! I haven't been getting enough talk of dildos and where they should be put.

...Though I've been getting quite a lot, considering with whom I live.

Yes, but I am not writing fic or spamming my LJ five times a day about Rupert Grint's Chuck Taylors, etc. (I'm falling in love - it's distracting.)

Glad to hear it. The latter, not the former. I TOTALLY VOTED THAT YOU SHOULD (fall in love) IN MY HEAD.

Oh, I'll be back being ridiculous again, I have no real doubt. I think it's been good for me to take a bit of a step back from fandom in general too. I've been *talking* a lot about fannish things though, just not online.

(And what? You voted for it just...in general, or in relation to this specific situation?)

I wish I could see the flowers that you and my_daroga planted. :)

In this specific situation, actually. Seemed like a keeper.
