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. :)

I know i feel kinda disconnected from the valley_slash posse and have repeatedly considered deleting the people i don't feel i have anything in common with -- esp. since i suspect none of them read me anyhow. But then, i'm an information whore, so i so rarely delete people -- figuring it's easy enough to just skim over entries. So i can't decide.

well, if there ever were such a posse, it's dispersed now. in many, many ways. geography being one of them. i've just been thinking about handing off the community, since i'm not a valley-ite anymore and never did anything with it beyond that first gathering.

anyway, you don't have to decide. we'll just see how things go. :)

:) I think i will always think of all the women i met that night as a clump because i met you all at once and you seemed to all know each other. But yeah, definite geographic dispersion, and i'll take your word for the rest of it.
