This is a very difficult entry to post.

Yes, it's that time again. Once again, I find myself overextended on the flist.

If I could friend everyone, and read everything, I would. Absolutely. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time. And I'm starting to get ready for the busy part of the year, when I'll be working quite a bit.

pen_and_umbra once said that a flist is a Work In Progress, and I agree. Our tastes change on a regular basis, after all, and sometimes we just aren't clicking with people we once clicked with.

I don't use filters. I read every entry on my flist that's from a personal journal. I can see that, while I have been able to keep up with it so far, in another month or two it would be overwhelming.

I'll be defriending over the next few days. I hate writing these posts, and I'm always sad when I see other people posting something similar. But it's part of the LJ experience. It's nothing personal.

I apologize in advance, and I hope this doesn't cause any inconvenience.

Eep! Every time you make a post like this, I get all nervous. I know she means me, I've gotten too boring and whiny and amazingly dull, I just know it! But that's okay if you do mean me, you have so many people and communities on your flist, I don't know how you find time to sleep, trying to keep up with it all. I have a filter that weeds it down to just personal friends and a couple of communities, then I check in at other communities I belong to occassionally. I don't think I could manage to read it all like you do.
I'll still read you cuz I love ya, babe!

*hugs* You're so awesome and positive! Thank you!

And I would never think that you're boring, whiny, or dull. I love your entries! You're not going anywhere. ;)
