I met a meta journal

[dr4b]

Heh. I was removed from a friend's friends list, and saw that they had a post basically saying "I'm culling my friends list, if you want to stay on, please respond". So I was going to reply to say "Hey, that's cool if you're uncomfortable keeping me on your list - I know my posts are probly boring to you, but I liked reading about you, even if I didn't comment much". Except that... well, they've made it so people not on their friends list can't post to their journal. Oops.

So if anyone wants to tell fiannaharpar that I would have posted that to her journal, feel free :)

Bleh, I suck. I try really hard to keep this as a journal for myself primarily, so I write a lot. I want to be able to go back and remember big chunks of my life from reading my entries. That's important to me. But, I'm not sure how to do it in a way that doesn't alienate other people... since I like being able to read other people's journals, especially the friends-only ones. And lj-cutting all of them doesn't *really* seem like a solution to me, because a) then I have trouble rereading my own journal 'cause I have to keep clicking on all the links, and b) about half the time I don't bother to read through major LJ-cuts unless they're tagged well.

Oh well. I'll ponder it on the bus to work (yes, I'm running late).

That's asking to create the perfect balance in LJ creativity that satisfies everyone. That's unrealistically unachievable. You write what you are, what you think, what you do. As much you'd want to worry about it, this isn't a popularity contest. You have a large, long list of friends on here and IRL (sort of). It might not appease to everyone's tastes when people are skimming through their friend's list. If one drops off, don't truly fret about it. It's kind of like worrying about hair. If a few strands fall off, there is nothing to worry about. You only need to worry when giant clumps start disappearing, which I doubt will happen to you since you seem to get along with everyone.

If changing yourself to something you truly aren't to make yourself stand out and be accepted by a lot more people, that's your own prerogative. For now, you're just as cool as the way you are now.
