I LOVE livejournal. Most of all I love the amazing friendships and people I have got to know here. I have always been a loyal LJ-er, catching up on my f-list every day. Then something changed, I went on a 'friending frenzy' eager to expand my awesome network. It backfired - my list exploded with posts and I became overwhelmed and stopped reading. I have tried to catch up over and over again the past few months but everytime I just get overwhelmed again. The worst part is that in doing this I am losing contact with even my closest and most special LJ friends. I'm missing out on major stuff happening in their lives. I just spent 20 minutes trying to skim my flist and wow some of the stuff going on is a big deal and I've not been there for people (despite them having always been there for me). I've also fallen SO far behind.
I've been avoiding doing this but I just have to.
I have to cut my friends list right back to my nearest and dearest - the people I have spent years building up a friendship with. Please, no hard feelings if I remove myself from your journal. It's not that I'm not interested, loads of my new friends are super interesting but I either do this now or I can see I'll just end up fading away from LJ altogether.
I'll keep this post public for a bit.. sorry again for being a shitty LJ friend (old peeps and new).
I've just been inadvertently reminded that I never did that whole friends only post thing...
So here it is (my journal has been friends only for sometime);
THIS JOURNAL IS FRIENDS ONLY :)
***feel free to add me if you wish (an accompanying message would be appreciated). Almost all people who read my journal are people I've met though LJ that I share some common interest with. My journal is mostly about life, my relationship, my wedding and baby plans and just life-in-general. Cheers***
The only appointment for surgery is 3 days before I start my post-grad/masters. The appointment is the 20th Feb and orientation is the 23rd. They estimate the recovery to be at least a week *rolls eyes*.
And just to add insult to injury, I need 2 fillings too.
I hate the dentist. I plan on spending the rest of the day feeling utterly sorry for myself.
