unfriending

[rkold]

For those who don't know, lately my DSL has been giving my trouble and before that I was away for a bit. Between the two, I've been re-thinking my flist.

I'm unfriending quite a few of you, if you think you still want to be friended to read my few boring friend locked entries, then either comment to this post or email me to tell me that you're paying attention and why you want to still be friended to me. I am unfriending people in this round who I was at one point close to, but I feel like you have no interest in my life anymore, and that doesn't particularly make me so interested in yours either.

I've unfriended you for one of the following reasons:

We're interested in different fandoms
You never respond to my posts, and don't even respond to my comments in your LJ

There are quite a few people who just barely survived this round, but are possibly getting cut next time I go to Japan and can't check LJ once a day. I generally try to be a nice person, but people who can't ever take the time to respond to anything I say (I'm talking can't even vote in a damn poll about something they're supposedly interested in or any sort of poll at ALL) are not so interesting I want to read about their lives either.

Perhaps this sounds bitchy, but it's hot and its humid, and my mother decided to call me before 9:00 a.m. on my day off, and someone else pissed me off a lot.

I'd like to stay in :D I don't feel comfortable voting in polls relating to PoT characters though, because I don't know them at all, and you might be like "You were so wrong Jody! Said doll looks nothing like siad character! I hate you!" and then I'd have to go cry :(

^---- That post would be by me -_-

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

I pay attention! <3 :D;; Tho' I do totally understand the need to clear out your flist on occasion. ^^;

[rkold.livejournal.com]

No, you're not in the running either actually. lol I find your posts about studying astronomy fascinating and I am still hoping if I go to FL in Oct we can meet up.

I sort of think the people this post is directed to, are not going to notice I deleted them let alone respond.

I've already started clearing things out, and I do have a short list of other people who might get deleted.

*sends Rachel a huuuuuge block of ice to keep cool in the humidity* Gaaaah, I want to stay on the list!

[rkold.livejournal.com]

*hugs* thanks cause we have no air con. ;;_;;

Nooooo you're definitely staying, you comment and write interesting posts even if I'm not as good as I should be responding, and never get to see if you respond since I have a hard time moving back and forth in your blog. ^^;

I'm also just a little pissy cause I had a buyer back out after waiting patiently for them 2 1/2 weeks to buy a doll.

seriously, I don't think the people I deleted even noticed and the people on the shortlist just never seem to comment ever. ._.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I did keep you, though I have to admit, at the moment I am feeling a tiny bit hurt about several things. ^^; i mean i know your job is keeping you really busy now, but it's not really related to that.

[reynardine.livejournal.com]

Hope you can keep me (and my writing journal, akikawa_nikki on? *big kitty-cat eyes*

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Of course I am keeping you! O_O I don't know how you would think I would cute you lol *hugs*

I love reading your posts because they're mostly about you. :)

[thundermew.livejournal.com]

Dearest Rachel,

Please do not unfriend me. If you do, I'm going to cry and scream and be really sad.

I also know where you live.

Sincerely,
Not A Stalker

*blinks* You were also never in the running at all. lol *hugs* Of course I am keeping you, how many other people do I still talk to from the days of Licca-dom!

I actually deleted the people I was planning to already, and the others well, you're not with them either!

[tokkitsu.livejournal.com]

I'd like to stay! I don't comment often, 'cause I know nothing about dolls and half the terms or whatever you're talking about usually, but! I like looking at pictures of them, so yes? :DDD

[rkold.livejournal.com]

While I'm not into CFUD, I am planning on keeping you, cause you post interesting things and respond to my weirdness. The people i wanted to delete just don't seem to notice my posts ever. *shrugs*

i doubt any of them have even noticed i deleted them lol

[momijizukamori]

Totally understandable ^^ I don't mind being defriended; we really haven't talked at all in years - I keep doing little sweeps of my flist as well.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Thanks, you went under point A and are not one of the two people I unfriended I am a tad miffed with.

[winter]

You do know every post like that sends me breathlessly running for my info page to find if I made the cut? ;) To my defense no-comment-wise, I do try, but between work and thesis, the last year was hectic.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Well, we don't follow the same fandoms, but I like reading about your love of musicals, even if they're not the same ones as me, and you always respond when I comment in your LJ. I don't know why but it just bugs me when I comment in someone else's LJ and they respond to everyone else and not me.

I don't think I'm particularly interesting, I just only want to be friended to people who take as active and interest in my life as I try to take in theirs.

Which reminds me, I need more Clamp LJ icons! Secretly, I do still love X and all my other Clamp series. lol

[setra.livejournal.com]

*is sad to see herself go*
I can understand that my posts aren't much interesting to you though, since my PoT interests have drifted to the musicals and other pairings and I (as yet) have no dolls of my own. Besides, I mostly rant about my real life anymore. I've gotten boring. ;_;
I'd love to stay on and see more pictures of dolls and hear stories from Japan, etc. I'll probably leave you friended if you don't mind. Besides, I totally understand the need to slim down ones flist. ^_^

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Umm to be honest Maya, I am still really hurt that you didn't offer to get me anything in Japan, but offered all the Tenimyu people.

Considering I went to that store in Harajuku just for you, I don't think it would have been outrageous for you to at least offer. I mean you didn'teven tell me you were going to Japan, I just suddenly saw a post saying you had a ticket.

You're welcome to leave my LJ still friended.

[neynaoe.livejournal.com]

errr I actually DO read almost each of your posts its just... I only have three hours for updating my Websites, reading/writing LJ, checking boards, checking Ebay, checking everything else a WEEK ^^' So I HARDLY comment anywhere... *would really like to read on*

[rkold.livejournal.com]

My flocked entries are generally pretty boring unless you want to hear me wangst about dolls. ^^;

i understand you're busy, I just sort of want to feel like the people reading my LJ want to read it.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Can you bring me Starbucks though and get me the manual script for the next Harry Potter book before it is published? XD;;

I don't think I'm so interesting really, lol I just like feeling like I'm not talking into space if I post entries and it's nice to know people are reading. :)

[sleepcat-00.livejournal.com]

*understands about unfriending*
Though I just wanted to say, at least for me personally, I don't comment much not because I don't find your posts interesting but because I just don't have time. -__-

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Well, to be honest, I just wasn't sure you were actually reading. ^^;

Unless people semi-comment, I feel like I am talking in space and I would sort of prefer not to feel that way.

If you like though I will re-add you.

Hi Rachel,

It must be that mother phone call before 9 AM. If my phone rings that early (and it's not a school day) then it must be my mother, or sometimes my sister. On school days, it is likely to be the school nurse.

Kennis doesn't like AC? do you have fans? AC in the car? sleeping porch?

I still check Biscuit's almost everyday, in case some new person posts. It was fun to "chat" with you & Nancy a little bit at the old club the other day. It's been quiet there so long, now I don't mind that at all. I did pre-order the three Disney Licca dolls from HLJ so I haven't completely quit adding to my collection (instead of slimming it down like I probably should). They still amuse & please me (and selling is way way too much work).

See you around!
Susan

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Being woken up is the thing i hate most lol the phone is a better alarm than my actual alarm and the only thing even more likely to wake me is the doorbell. lol

I have to sell stuff. and yes it was fun, about the Liccas, if the clothing doesn't go so high I might bid, I need shoes. ~.~

I get all the Biscuit's messages sent to my mailbox, but i can't respond at work and my dsl was flakey at home.

It is good to hear from you though :)

[reieien.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Awww. I'm sorry you had a bad day and Lord knows I haven't checked LJ in a long long time. But I hope you've had better days since this incident? *crosses fingers*

By the way, I have been meaning to ask you. Since you're a moderator for PoT_Yaoi, I was wondering if you would want to take ownership of it? Since I work 60+ hours a week, I haven't had time to really do much with it. And the people there aren't really writing fanfics at all.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Actually, thinks are semi-miserable now, but hopefully some sleep will do me good. It doesn't help I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. lol

*hugs* BTW I was not planning to unfriend you.

I am a moderator? Are you sure? *blinks* Would I have to actually like read posts lol

[lovelycoconuts.livejournal.com]

Hi Rachel, I'd just like to let you know I'm adding you as a friend now. (This is Molly - Yuki on DoA :3)
I'll do my best to leave comments whenever possible so you don't unfriend me just yet. XD
