A note

[vianegativa]

As an aside, I removed a number of people from my journal. These were either folks I hadn't spoken to in awhile or spoken with in any significant capacity and, in certain cases, folks I don't think should be reading my journal anymore. This is the first round as I think I should be more focused on the people ACTUALLY participating in my life, rather than providing every oncomer with intimate bout my life.

Yes, yes. I know LJ isn't an actual private journal, rather just another electronic friend forum. Quit yer bitching. :-)

None of the people I removed should give a care, so no harm, no foul.

Speaking of which, how does one make their journal friends-only?

In that sense as well, if people wish to engage me, feel free. I'm trying to focus more energy into the people in my life that return calls, e-mails, texts, etc rather than chasing after those that do not.

Hve a good day, y'all.

You can also set your journal to make all future entries default to friends only. by going http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/ here and scrolling down to Additional privacy options You'll see where

Either way, I understand where yer coming from. I wish the best for you.

I can still see it, hehe I thought I had been deleted. w00t

[vianegativa.livejournal.com]

No, no. Actually I may undo it & make most of my posts friends only

One way is to use the "show this entry to" box to select friends. Anyone you select as a friend can see it.

My approach is a bit sneakier, since I loathe defriending drama.

I made a filter on the friends list (friends-->custom groups), and all friends go there. Then, I select the friends group when I post. That way, if I don't want someone reading the journal, I just cut them from the distribution. They stay on the friends list (and thus, avoid the drama of a defriending), but they don't see the content itself. Chances are, they won't even realize they've been cut, unless they start sniffing around to see when you last updated or ask friends if you've been updating.

Equally mysterious are the ones I know in meatspace who add me because "UR SO FUNNY I LIEKS TEH FUNNY" and then drop me after a few months. WTF? Like I don't have enough of a complex...

I keep mine public and every once and a while I get these great posts from strangers!

[vianegativa.livejournal.com]

That's a really good point as well.
