A "Great" Purge

I was just purged by one of the people on my Flist. So I said "Fuck it!" and cleaned out my own list. First time I've ever done it, and it wasn't quite as painful as I expected. I'm plenty sick and tired of - no, wait. I'm not really sick and tired. It's just frustrating to feel that I'm writing my best, or at least pretty well, and getting less response than almost anyone else on LJ. But that's how it is. And there's no point in letting my feelings be hurt more than they have to be. People don't want to read me? People don't want to friend me back? Fine. I'll live.

That's what I do. I live.

Done. Four "friends" deleted. I'd only met one of them in person anyway.

There's one more person who hasn't friended me back. At the end of the year, he's out too. New year, a new start...why not?

I don't need to worry about this shit any more. In fact, that would be a great New Year's resolution.

Seems like we're all in a trend. Guess it's pre-new years cleanup time.

I found you through [livejournal.com profile] zarhooie. May I add you and would you consider adding me back?

Absolutely - a parent who plays Diablo and writes? That's enough commonality for me!

Thanks. I look forward to reading you.

I should warn you, I am dealing with a lot of health problems right now so you will hear from whining and frustration about that sometimes.

Whining? Frustration? Good heavens! What are those? Image

You're talking to a guy who has an "angst" keyword, and uses it. If I hadn't chose "Diary of An Invisible Man", I'd have called my journal "Whining Frustration".

Seriously, I AM sorry to hear that you're suffering. In that regard, I guess I'm lucky.

I've added you to my flist, and I'll start reading your older entries soon. I don't have any filters - although I may add one if any family members ever get onto LJ - so all posts except the me-only ones are available to you.

I am now FORCING myself not to say something self-depreciating. That's a bad habit of mine, one I'm trying to break. I may have to hurt myself. Image

I am glad you will understand. Welcome to my whining then!
