I can be impulsive, I fall in love with hobbies, tv shows, movies, etc only to fall out of love with them a short time later. In the meantime, I had joined a bazillion newsletters, LJ communities, etc, etc. So long after I am disenchanted with "Torchwood", I am still in the community all about TV series. I really do not need specific icon communities, if they are on LJ, I can always snag an item with permissin without being a member of that community. Some interests remain, but it takes a great deal of time, time I do not have, to be an active member.

So I performed a spring cleaning, taking out news feeds I no longer want to see, left communities for TV shows and other miscellaneous things and defriended people I had not seen post in quite a while. If I defriended you by mistake, post a comment and let me know.

Overall, I feel rather accomplished in having cleaned up my Friends page. Naturally, this lasts up until I get caught up in the latest craze and i want to know everything about it.

Back to the grindstone for a while and than make an effort to actual go to gym.

Ola, I taken off a few people of my f-list, those that had not posted in a long while. If you have been reading, but not posting lemme know and I'll add you again.

Happy Birthday jonty  and vixzen !

Wish you many more!

I think when you are able to understand this clip, you will definitely understand Russian:)



the lyrics in Russian, as soon as I find an English translation, I'll post it as well.
( Lyrics in Russian ) Just to make it easier in cartoon format:)

Happy Birthday jadedflame!

Wish you all the very very best! (My birthday posts are not creative, but I assure everyone that they're from the heart, metaphorically at least:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY claidheamhmor!

Wish you all the very best!

You know, I never realised how silly we can all be. I mean that some things we don't treat seriously enough other people view as something deserving the outmost consideration and care.

hravan and I always have this open source software vs Microsoft discussions. I enjoy teasing the guy about Microsoft and how I support it (I do support the company, their mistakes are my bread and butter) and he argues the case for open source. We both make some valid points and someone gets bored with the discussion and it stops. Well, I thought the discussions were always semi-serious, my sarcasm and well, let's not beat around the bush, sometimes my utter brutal honesty mixed in with a bit of arrogance were not   typed with 100% seriousness behind it.

Obviously, I was not taking this seriously enough, as I got a snippy reply and when I was typing up a response, where I added that I am sorry that he took my words in offence I get a notification that I am removed from his Friends list. After a small WTF moment, I grabbed an apple, typed a quick message to the guy via MSN and got back to work. Still, makes you wonder about people one think one knows at least a little bit. A little sad too, cause hravan was one of my first  online friends on Live Journal that I did not know in real life.

O well, takes all kinds of sillyness I suppose.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY orual_dreaming!

I wish you all the best! And Rodney McKay on the plate:)

You know, it is much easier to orchestrate your life online as compared to real life. One click, and the person that has been mean or rude or just plain uncomfortable to be around with no longer has access to your online diary.

It is not about preserving the peace or being polite, it is just I have reached a point in my life where I feel the manners one would use to converse with someone in the big real world don't really matter much when this person has access to information you only want the people you feel close to, to know. That list of close people includes those continents away, but as of now lacks someone I know in real life.

I am not sure if this person wants to be mentioned since they will probably receive the email notification. However, this is the explanation of my actions:

I have difficulty counting someone who has consistently been rude to me and has made assumptions about me to others without checking if that is indeed what happened. This to me denotes a lack of maturity that I do not appreciate. I do not want to meet with my LJ friends with an expectant feeling that after simply being polite I am brushed off like dirt thus spoling my enjoyment of seeing my other friends.

I do not see you often enough and do not communicate with you in real life to deserve such a treatment. This is a purely a real life situation, my defriending is simply my wish for you to be denied access to my private life online. I actually feel better, knowing that when we meet at a mutual function I have the option to politely ignore you and I hope you will do the same.

I think I have stated my reasons clearly enough. To our mutual friends, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience.

I remember a conversation I had once with melancthe and claidheamhmor about the 'unproved' sciences. Strangely, the Feng Shui did not come up, maybe because we were discussing the matters which I felt had some claims to validity and melancthe and claidheamhmor disagreed.  I still do not know what they opinion is on Feng Shui, but like the author, I simply cannot see it as a science or anything that should be used to prove theories of any sort.
