Paring down my Friends list

[spedbug]

Can I be honest? I have seventy-seven people on my friends list and it's partially due to this that I spend less time on LJ. I realize I'm under no obligation to post in everyone's journal yet I feel I should and will actually avoid reading journals if I feel I can't reply. This sucks. I worry that I already show partiality to certain people's journals while ignoring others and hate to think I'd inadvertanly hurt someone's feelings, in the end.

I went and looked at my Friends list, today, in hopes of finding a good ten people on there I could cut without hurting myself or them in the process and it was fruitless. Nearly every single person on my Friends list is someone I adore interacting with (even if it's only once in a while).

*sigh*

I love you guys and can't bear to part with any of you. :(

I am not too worried about whether or not people reply to my posts. It's nice to have them, but some of you, like Ant, have soooo many friends that I realize I could get easily by passed. Come to think of it, I don't think you have actually replied to any of my posts ;)

If you can just think of me as a bad boyfriend - one that ignores you and forgets to call, we'll get on great! ;)

~sigh~ Not like I haven't had enough of them in my life.

some days I just launch my friends page and answer whoever is at the top!

(which is why I removed the cooking community this morning. I love them, but they were 80% of my friends page!

I wondered why you ignored me somedays. There have been a few posts where I have had your name and a question...but no reply.

yikes! Not ignoring, just crazy busy and exhausted.

I'll have to go looking :)

good luck finding them. I will/should be in Granby in July for Hog fest. Was wondering if you wanted some company on our drive through Denver. Have to get back to you on the dates.
