OK HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING. I just went through the list of people I have friended on livejournal and now I am actually tearing up and hearing "Somebody I Used To Know" on repeat in my head. I miss livejournal. I made so many awesome friends on lj. I've been there since year 8, which is longer than a lot of my rl friends have stuck around. But it turns out, only a fraction of those people who I was afraid of losing if I moved to dw are still posting. And even smaller number of those aren't also on dreamwidth.

SO! What I am doing is the first major friends purge I have ever done on lj. If you are still around after this purge, it means all of the following are true:
-You have posted, at least once, since the start of the year
-You don't also have a dreamwidth (If you do have a dreamwidth, I should have added you there as clavicular, please add me back!)
-You are following me back
-You are not a community

If I haven't unfriended you, but you have a dreamwidth that you use regularly and for some reason I didn't notice, PLEASE let me know. I'm looking to consolidate as much as possible. (Alternatively, if I've added you on dreamwidth but you'd prefer I keep you on lj, let me know that too).

If I have unfriended you and you want me to undo that (maybe you haven't been posting but you have been hanging around, god knows I can't judge for that), or I've made a mistake, let me know and I'll put you right back on! :)

I'm also giving thought to disabling comments on lj, especially as I'd really prefer to have people friended in one place, but I'm open to input on that.

I'm on dreamwidth! I don't post much there either, but I post...more there than I do here now? (Not saying much, I know.) But on dw I'm yodepalma :)

Oh, awesome! I shall add you there, instead. \o/

Hahaha, I had seriously been doing that for so long, and then one day I kind of realised I just hadn't been using it that much and nearly everyone else had jumped ship so I was like, ugh, now is as good a time as any? /laughs. While ever there is still even one person I'm friends with using lj, I won't abandon it completely, but I'd been thinking about doing some friending memes and things to meet new people, and I figured, why not just do it on dreamwidth and make the switch? /grins.

New people? What are these things? Such a strange concept.

I'm an old stick in the mud at heart.

Hey, I just added you on my dreamwidth, which I crosspost from. If you ever want to comment on me over there you're very welcome to, but I'd quite like it if you kept me friended over here, because I read my flist more often than my reading page :)

[insane-duckfish.livejournal.com]

Mmm, okay, I think I will... grant you access over there, but not follow you? Only because I really don't want to have to deal with filtering my flist and I want to avoid posts showing up twice as much as possible :)
