I'll be cutting down my friends list over the course of the week just to make it less unwieldy and easier to keep up on. No offense to anyone being cut, and frankly I doubt I'll do much more posting on here, if any. I just have no enthusiasm for it lately.

Hugs, plus an excuse to use this icon

Muah, that's a great icon!

Hee. I was thinking of exactly that icon when I read the post ;-)

That icon officially wins the day.

*hugs* I will miss reading snippets of your days, but I totally understand.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs* Seriously, how often have I been posting snippets of my days? That's kind of my point. I've gotten down to links, memes and bitchery. It's no fun.

I find myself less drawn here as well. I think maybe it is spring and we want to do new things.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
*hugs* Maybe, but I've been considering dumping LJ entirely for much longer than just this spring. This is less drastic, because there are still people and things I keep up with through it. I'm just giving up the pretense that I've got much to say on it, or big blocks of time I'm willing to spend on it. It's nothing against anyone, I swear.

I'll miss you if you go, and I hope you'll come back sometime.

I'm not going AWAY, dear, just... probably not posting. I'll still be around and reading and commenting to some extent. I just don't want this to be a chore or something, so... you're always welcome to email, too.

*comfort* What's up?

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Dunno, just bored with LJ and somewhat antisocial lately. It's no fun anymore. Doesn't mean I won't be reading and lurking, just less - and not pretending I ought to update.

As I've pointed out to others, I'm not vanishing from the ken of all known humanity. :) Just cutting down on LJ, which I'm bored with.

Fully understood.

I do enjoy knowing what little you post here, even if I don't respond often.

*hugs* You have been missed, here and in #filkhaven. I hope we can keep in touch other than every quarter or so for housefilks.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely, and I'll try to show on Filkhaven a little more. I enjoy your company there.

I just hope I make the cut. I miss you and ACat. LJ is about the only way I keep in contact with youze guys.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, and the fact that other than LJ I don't keep up with a lot of people is one reason I procrastinated on this for so long. But LJ just isn't fun any more, I dunno why. I suppose it's probably just me.

So it goes. *hugs* Are you posting somewhere else, or just spending more time in the Real Life (TM)?

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm not on any other networking whatsit other than Twitter and ICQ and don't spend lots of time on either. More real life time is probably a good idea.

Hopefully all is OK?

It is, thanks. Just ... bored, I guess.

[identity profile] anaisdjuna.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)

I've missed you. I understand the ebb and flow of life vis a vis El J. It's good to get the hell off the computer and live.

I do hope you don't go away forever and ever and/or I do hope that you have room in your cut for me. If not, I understand. Be yourself and take the spaces you need.

I still hope we get to hang at some point and that my different, but healed tongue is still invited to a plate of your home cooking (hee hee I am subtle, yes ? ;-)

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-27 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Miss you too, and we never did reschedule, no. It's an open invite - just say when is good for you, and lo! You shall be fed! (You may have noticed the monthly movie night has also died a quiet, unmourned death.)

I sort of understand. I come here to read folks and feel connected to those I don't see enough but I have such a problem posting anything lately. The serious stuff has such a backstory a lot of the time - sometimes years worth - that it's overwhelming to find a way to explain things. And I've just never gotten the hang of listing day to day stuff. I hope to go back to how I started which was posting amusing things I notice and other snippets or thoughts but I'm not sure how it'll work.

I hope to still keep in touch for future visits I make to Atlanta either way!

*hugs*

Absolutely. If/when you get to our area, please let us know. Email is fine, or phone or whatever.

Will miss you if you do go, but understand that sometimes people move on to other things.

[identity profile] kyttn.livejournal.com 2009-04-28 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not a lot to say - I understand boredom with LJ and a need to concentrate on real life. It doesn't help that LJ ends up being a place for people (big arrow appears pointing down at my head) to vent or whine or do memes rather than (except for a few rare cases) writing anything of real interest or positive things about the day.

That said, a post every 3-4 months or so to let us know you are ok would be much appreciated....

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2009-04-28 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Please believe me, I was NOT objecting to anyone using LJ to vent or work things out. I think it's good for both of those things. However, I look back at all my recent posts (for VERY loose values of recent) and it's all memes, links and bitchery. It's just no fun anymore. I will keep reading and commenting, I just won't post, or at least very little, and I'll cut down the reading. I do read yours, and will continue to - I just wish I could offer more useful comment than "*hugs*". Sometimes I don't comment just because I feel like I have nothing useful to say.

I understand the impulse. My own LJ's been moribund too.

Do what you need to do. As long as I remain on your real friends list. >8->

[identity profile] annonynous.livejournal.com 2009-04-28 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
An LJ entry from you always caught my eye. Silliness, bitching, even memes (I just don't grok memes, I guess), were welcome and read. That's what friends (upper or lower case f) are for, ya? Ah well. Fly casual, as Lois used to say. Until whenever,

I appreciate that, I do. And I know I owe you at least one email. :)

*hugs you*

I'm glad that you're doing what you want, and while I'll miss the updates, at least I'll know that you're out doing what you want instead of what you think you should be doing.

*hugs you some more*
