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 don't filter at all for general reading. I tend to skim through my flist a lot unless something piques my interest, but I don't filter anyone out, so everyone has the opportunity to be read. I read daily--always at home in the evenings and on weekends, and often at work, if I have a few spare minutes here and there to glance at my friends page.

The only time I ever created a reading filter was last spring when I was in Vancouver on business for a week and wasn't online at all. It would have been impossible to catch up on a week's worth of posts from something like 400 people, so I threw about 70 or so people into a filter and just read those journals. Even so, my friends page was somewhere around skip=900.
