I did it … I culled my link list. And I’ll probably kill some more. I can’t fucking keep up and I refuse to get involved in this whole popularity contest. I’m not going to join the crazy linkfest or the weekly posts that the sex bloggers do, it’s not my thing.
I see it on twitter and I see it in other places and hell if it pisses someone off or upsets someone I don’t care. I am starting to get annoyed with twitter. I just don’t have the time to sit on the damn thing 24/7. It’s in my browser and I do read the convos that go on occassionally but half the time I write random shit there and don’t expect a reply.
I write. I love to write. I am not here to write to be popular or try and keep up with the latest bullshit. I write because I have things to say. This is after all my journal.
I do HNT because I want to, because I enjoy doing something nice for myself. I am completely humbled with alot of the comments. But I don’t expect them. I love perving at people’s pics … hehe yep ima pervert.
Wtf is it with all this link whoring? I didn’t start a blog to impress anyone I did it because I neeeeed to write. And I’m not insulting anyone who thinks it’s important. That’s your thing. Not mine.
So yea my blogroll is my bookmark list, it changes. Don’t be bummed if you ain’t on it. If you don’t write enough I prolly won’t have you on here. If you write sporadically but write decent shit that I like to ponder on then you might find yourself on here. Just don’t expect it. If you continually post boring shit and don’t actually write from the heart then I won’t be putting you on here. I appreciate people who write from the heart.
I feel bad enough as it is that I can’t chat to the people I want to talk to because I just don’t have enough time in the day. I get stretched too thin. So I still love you all (you know who you are) I just am a little snowed under right now.
If you only comment to get linked … think again. The majority of the people on my blogroll I like to talk to on occassion outside of the blog and usually because there’s something we have in common and can help each other out. I just simply don’t have enough time in the day to keep up with all the madness.
So there. It’s getting smaller.
That way I won’t go crazy, oh wait, I already am … ummm less insane

I think I need to take a lesson from you – my reader is at 167 right now, and that’s only because I cut about 25% of them out last night. I suck at letting go.
That’s why I refuse to finish updating my links/blogs page until I have my reader down to under 100. I can’t keep up with them all!!!

You know I have a kind heart, I hate letting people down but it’s got too crazy to deal with LOL *hugs* … I love reading them all but I have other things I should be concentrating on too and they are falling by the wayside because of it. So I have to be a hardass hehe and stick with the prolific writers I love to read … yush you is one

People like being popular. No biggie. It’s not a competition unless you choose to compete.

wow -psychic too, eh?
I was just thinking recently that it can make one all panicky and crazy trying to keep up; something I swore I wouldn’t (and so far, have managed NOT TO) do when I first started blogging. the entire point of a “public/private” journal in my mind is it is a place for ME to vent –
although a warrior for others, in my own interpersonal relationships, I have a very (sadly) silent voice – writing helps to clarify things and vent for me –
I’ve never been a popular blogger which was fine – at times, i needed to take a reality check and refocus on why I write (becuase I NEED to – I’ve always written, long before the net was a thought in some genius mind) – bringing it to a venue like the web just makes it a little more interesting.
so good on ya, girl – I’m with you.

*Nodding.* Look after you. I know what you mean about being stretched too thin. Keep some reserves for when you need it. xxx

@Fungi Yep some do, it’s when the writing takes a downhill turn in the bid to become popular I lose interest because its not from the heart anymore.
@selkie Hehe god yes I understand the NEED I began writing again a while ago after writing prolifically when I was younger. I can’t imagine not being able to write something everyday. I even have an old journal of bits and pieces I have collected over the years, sentimental things. I for one love your writing, that … definately comes from within. xxx
@Molten Hehe aye I’m learning slowly *hugz* xxx
