i recently dropped a rather large number of people from my friends list (from over 260 to 129). to keep this short and sweet:

it's not you, it's me.

i just couldn't keep up with nearly three hundred people anymore, and reading my friends page was becoming much more of a chore than it ever should have been. the most likely reason i've let you go, simply, is that i don't read your journal. it's nothing personal, but if i found myself consistently skipping entries, i consider it a disservice to YOU to keep you listed.

please just let it go at that, and i wish you all the best.
