I have gone back and flocked quite a few more personal posts, including the ones about religion and fat acceptance and pretty much all my "what I did on my weekend" posts. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable about the sheer amount of information available about my life, even though I've been pretty careful about *what* I say. I'll be locking that kind of thing from here on out, so if you've been lurking and want to keep reading it, let me know.
Also, my flist is getting a bit large. I haven't decided to cut back yet, but it's possible I will. I know I'll be cutting some comms off the list, at least.
As always, feel free to defriend me if you're tired of my rambling.

No, really.
Nooooooooooo!

So. It's complicated. :-)

All this flocking is making me wonder if I'm doing it wrong, with not doing hugely personal information posts.

I've no problem reading someone's personal posts, if they want me to know about their life, (or not, if they want to keep that private, but I'm mostly in lj for the SG1, and RDA--which comprises the fun entertainment in my life, for the past 3 years.

I keep thinking about trimming, but I never get around to it. I think I think I'll miss something if I do. Then again...I'm sure I miss stuff because I can't keep up sometimes.

so if I've been away or have a period of limited access, I can filter to read just my closest friends or something.
