Friends purge! Friends purge! This is not a drill!

[robinturner]

With the exception of three people I knew before LJ, I am deleting everyone on my friends list. I'm not indulging in LJ-drama histrionics; there are two simple reasons for this:

1. My frends list has got so long I can't read everyone's journals.
2. There has been a lot of silliness concerning some people on the list that I don't want to be involved with. I don't like to delete specific individuals, as it's a kind of slap in the face (but if those individuals have the gall to ask to be re-added to my friends list, they're going to get a serious hapkido open-palm neck-breaking slap!).

So, if you would like to be added to my new friends list, please mail me or respond to this post. It's not an attempt to create an LJ elite - all you have to do is write stuff that isn't totally boring and, more importantly, not harass my friends. If you're a nice person who writes interesting posts, I'll probably get round to adding you anyway, but I'd rather you saved me the trouble by responding directly.

I hope you'll add me back, solri.

wow. i'm going to put my request in to stay...

and wait anxiously to see if i get my ass handed to me.

Boo?

I did just the same thing this morning.

Um, add me? I hope what I write is interesting. And I can definitely fake the "nice person" bit.

[katminnaar.livejournal.com]

Yikes. Well, I don't know what you consider 'nice' or what you meant by silliness (please don't slap me). I don't know if my posts are interesting to you, either. I hope you add me back, but if not, oh well. Such is life. (One reason I can't seem to get beyond ±20 names on my list is because it does take too much time to try to keep up with it all!)

I'm interesting. Oh, how interesting am I. And so friendly! (Yeah, yeah, I want on.)

Hi-

I actually added you sometime last week.
So I believe I'm safe from the hapkido.
Add back if you want to, but no obligations.

[solri.livejournal.com]

It's like when you go on a purgative fast or something - we all have to do it occasionally.

Of course you're re-added. I couldn't do without my favourite foo.bar-fighter.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Actually the reason I added you in the first place was that you write so well. you are, of course, re-added.

[arbiteroftruth.livejournal.com]

yay. i seriously would have felt a pang of sadness had you not re-added me. you're in the top five, solri. ;)

"get my ass handed to me. "

I assume this is some strange US idiom. I can think of a number of things I would like to do with your ass, but that's another story ...

[chr0me-kitten.livejournal.com]

I enjoy your posts. I'd like to be added, if you don't mind.
/me curtsies most politely

[solri.livejournal.com]

Consider yourself added.

[circumambulate.livejournal.com]

Ummm, -poke-.

[arbiteroftruth.livejournal.com]

...means basically to get ripped to shreds. which you'd never do to me. because you lurrrrrrve me.

as for stories...i like them a lot. tell me one any time you like.

[solri.livejournal.com]

I'm familiar with filters, but I can't be bothered to keep them up todate. Also there's the second issue.

[katminnaar.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! (whew) I was hoping my journal didn't come across as that silly! :)

[chippiex.livejournal.com]

I am aware I've been boring lately. But I was thinking of creating a user list of people I don't know to write more private personal stuff. But I'd understand if you don't add me back because I've noticed that most of what I write has been censored to the point of interesting to no one.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Phew - chr0me_kitten still wants to be my firend! That's a relief.

[lilactoga.livejournal.com]

I'm not ignoring this post, but if you don't find my journal interesting (as I expect is probably the case, since it's primarily college drama, unfortunately...), I accept my deletion.

[solri.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm poked.

[solri.livejournal.com]

You're on.

[tristan-moore.livejournal.com]

People messing with your friends? thats rude.

[tristan-moore.livejournal.com]

Better not make me come kick your ass ;)

[katminnaar.livejournal.com]

You certainly take potential rejection much better than I do! ::chuckle:: I just sink into serious apathy and then start pondering my self-worth and all that whiney-ass junk. What're you doing in that pic there, eating a flower? :Þ
