business

[phineasjones]

a couple lj business-y thing i want to take care of. and they require some input.

1. i am going to be going to a default friends lock soon. it makes me rather sad to do it but i think, with school starting... where i will be a TA and all... it just makes sense. i plan to keep fic posts open. i once had bookmarked a link to whatever it is that lets you flock all of your archive in one go, but that was two computers ago. can anyone hook me up?

2. is there anyone who has friended me who i have not friended back who would like to be friended back so s/he can keep reading? leave a comment.

3. this is the difficult one. i cannot possibly read my entire flist while in school. it's just not feasible. so. i see my options are filter or trim. if i filter, there is the possibility that i will occasionally read the people i filter out. but i don't want to be dishonest. if people expect that by my having them friended, we are in a reciprocal-ish relationship where i read them and they read me... well, that just may not be the case. but i imagine that some people care a lot about this. i would like to know. so, answer this question, would you? (and the fun question too bc the poll was too boring.)

[Poll #549982]

4. i just don't know what life will be like from here on out. i imagine, though, that i will have a good deal less time for fannishness than in the past. wah. i started this journal a few weeks before i graduated from my masters program. so have never been in school with an lj. my point is that if the mundane details of my real life stuff bore you... you might want to bail. and i will understand. truly. so, it's up to each of you, of course. but don't worry about my feelings. i'll be fine. :)

good luck, and do what you need to in order to keep yourself sane and focused. real life is the most important thing, and yes, it will take immense amounts of time. LJ will be here when you have time and need it (and it can be a good stress reliever to just read some fic or peruse tales of others' wacky lives, if you are able to treat it that way and let go any sort of bigger expectations for yourself around it). anyone who gets weird about you needing to focus on school doesn't deserve your attention anyway. :-)
