The Friends List Deal
Lately, I seem to be getting an increasing amount of comments from people asking me to friend them back even though I've explained in my user info and FAQ page why I don't friend people back. It used to be that I only friend people who I actually know from somewhere because this was my only LJ account for the longest time, and I had used it to keep in touch with my friends. My selective friending had apparently confused some and made them think that I didn't friend them because I didn't like them. So I feel compelled to say this- it really really isn't personal and it wasn't because I don't like you! -_-;
So to solve this misunderstanding, I've removed all my personal friends from my list here and keeping them isolated at a personal LJ I just created over the summer. Why am I removing people rather than just adding everyone who has added me? The simple reason is because I can't (unless I want to be unfair). LJ has a limit of adding only 750 friends for personal journals- which means I won't be able to add all of you who have been so kind as to friend this journal since there are more than 750 at the moment.
Special Exception: Now, some of you will probably notice that I still have a little bit of people left on my friends list. Basically, as of today my friends list will only consist of those people who have helped out with my monetary issues by donating (mostly via paypal or LJ paid months). This is done so that I can occasionally thank them by sharing special extra graphics and resource downloads with them via protected entries.
I hope this will clear up some questions about why I'm not friending you back even when you asked. Like I said, it really isn't personal. :p And besides, all my entries (except for the donation specials) are public anyway so no worries! :)
*(To my friends: I hope you guys will understand my removal and still keep me friended because I know some of you have protected journals and I'd love to be able to still view your entries if I happen to visit while logged in here. Thank you! ^^;)
