oops.

i have a sunburn. annelarissa and i just spent about 5 hours lying on the grass in direct sunlight. we used sunscreen... but i suppose some shade would have been more to the point. at the moment, i'm not feeling much in the way of regret.

i really wish i could go swimming right now.

hm.

ok, pay attention to this part:

i'm going to post a poll soon in which i ask people's feelings about filtering and friending and such things. and i will take the results very seriously as i figure out how i will be going on in my livejournal life when it comes to moving and going back to school and all. but before i make the poll, i have a preliminary question for anyone who feels like answering. and that is, how do you read your flist? especially if it's fairly large - like, anything over 100. do you filter? do you read in groups? do you read constantly or every few days or catch up on the weekends... or what? i'm honestly curious and would love to know how different people manage this. if your answer is something like, 'i filter and really only read 5 people but i don't want anyone to know,' feel free to comment anonymously. i just want your thoughts on the matter.

I check LJ rather constantly and feel a touch overwhelmed when i've been away for a day or two. I'm a completionist freak, so unless i've been away for more than just a few days i catch up on the whole thing (though that frequently means i skim and don't comment, and i filter out communities). I regularly filter out communities when school etc. gets too busy.

I'm insistent upon reading every person i have friended -- though there are certainly individual entries i skip when the content doesn't interest me. (And in terms of numbers, my flist of 83 people includes a number of dead names and people who don't post anymore, so i'd say it's closer to about 60 in actuality.)
