... is what my last entry is full of. Decided to delete the blogger account, seeing as I was completely uninspired to update there. Having an established blog is fun; starting a new one is not. I don't know many people on blogger, there are no cutesy graphics, I don't know how to work anything, I have no patience for building things from nothing, yada yada... it's gone.
I'm still feeling conflicted about livejournal. I'm starting to think that after years of sharing everything about my life online, perhaps I need a break from public blogging. I removed almost my entire friends list this morning, basically everyone except for close friends, people I've known for many years and remember more than a few things about, and just a handful of newcomers I feel like I could click with, if only I had more time to put in.
I really hope no one feels offended by me removing them, but there's always that risk. It's one of the things I really hate about livejournal, the rejection aspect of something that shouldn't be like that. Only having time to keep up with 50 out of 200 friends isn't the same as not liking 150 out of the bunch, but that's pretty much how it comes across when you remove a heap of friends from your page. Subject line covers how I feel about that.
If we know each other through graphics, I hope removing you as a personal friend will not affect our "working relationship," so to speak. I've been away for a long time, but do plan to return to making cute things at some point. I'm just unable to keep up with everyone's lives, despite wishing I could.
If you're still on my friends list, I do plan to update and keep this journal alive, but I can't promise how frequently I'll post. I may not post anything until 2013. I'm super behind in every aspect of life, so it's just not something I have a lot of time for, but I'll try to keep up with my f-list, now that it's of a manageable size.
I hope everyone, mutual friend or not, has a wonderful holiday! Xoxo,
