The one in which I flatter myself...

I've had to have a tidy up of my friends list, purely for self-preservation - I can't be skipping 100 entries every morning to see what everyone's up to. And there are people who I thought were on the list who turned out not to be. So.

I don't think I trimmed my list too drastically, and I don't think I write anything fascinating enough under friends-lock that anyone will be too disappointed. I'm half-expecting to get a lot of sighs of relief...

Friends lists are funny things, and very personal - I'm taking my time about friending back at the moment, mostly due to a down-turn in the amount of time I have to read. So friend or defriend (that's a verb? seriously?) at will, and I will do the same and (hopefully) no hard feelings.

It's defintely one of those squirmy things, but things do drift - I can't help wondering if there's a sense of relief that someone's done it so you don't have to, if you see what I mean...

It is, and I know I'm not going to enjoy when or if I eventually have to do it.

Yes, I think I know what you mean, I've been defriended by people that I probably wouldn't have kept. But I've also been defriended by people I was finding quite interesting and amusing and afterwards did the slightly bewildered bit. But I try not to take this stuff to heart, after all, since some people really just use their flist as a reading list.
