Slimming

I sat down and did the first purge of my friends list since I started SL. I don't have an accurate count of how many people I removed. Hundreds. A few hundred.

Some are people I haven't seen in a long time. Some are people I don't have a lot in common with, or just haven't been in touch with. Some of you - nothing personal. The list was just too damn large to find anyone in.

Why? More demands on my time, and a weariness with more than a share of being taken for-granted. Just because you got removed from the list doesn't mean you did. Conversely, if you're one of the few still there, it doesn't mean you haven't.

That might sound a little arbitrary - and in some cases it most certainly is - but life's complicated.

More complicated than you know.
