adrianemSeveral people have been musing on their LJ blogs about the merits of culling their friends lists down to those who actually post regularly themselves. I understand their reasons, but want to protest that I am special and should get an exemption. Cheeky? Uh huh.
Actually, I've effectively asked for an exemption from my entire social life while I am in school. There just aren't enough resources for anything much beyond my educational endeavors. This bothers me on a fairly frequent basis, on many levels. But they don't call it a sacrifice for nothing. Nevertheless, I am very aware that I am not holding up my end of the social contract with any of my friendships, and I regret this, deeply. I can only hope that my friends and favored acquaintances will understand and wait patiently for me to get through this multi-year project of self-improvement and advancement. I will make it up to you, I promise.
Speaking of which, it is two months off, but my birthday falls on a Friday in mid-March this year. The number feels significant, so maybe it's time to try a party again. If I had one, would you attend?

At that point, I just move them off my "People I read Regularly" filter, but leave them on my friends list, so they can still read my stuff (if they're so inclined). I only really remove people from my friends list if they've actually pissed me off, or I don't trust them with my privacy any more.
You're in no danger there.
