song meme and musing

[katster]

See a small sample of my random musical collection! But I'm still mostly a folkie.

King's Song, Jim Croce
After All, Dar Williams
Trois Navires de Ble, Great Big Sea
September When It Comes, Roseanne Cash (with Johnny Cash)
The Deserter, Fairport Convention
Every New Day, Five Iron Frenzy
Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War, Paul Simon

That was harder than it looked. Finding songs I like that begin with K...well, it was this or 'Kodachrome' by Paul Simon, and I'd already used him.

Anyway, I really hate the "friends" terminology, because somebody dropped me from her friends list (doubly unfortunate, because she's a great storyteller and all her posts are friends-only), and it's hitting me the wrong way. And it's stupid that it hurts, but it does. Granted, if I had anything to say about it...

I dunno if I can do that friends amnesty thing, it really bothers me that people leave without telling me why, and I'm not sure I could let that go.

So...yeah, is this stupid, to be slightly upset over a defriending? I know the answer is probably yes, but I'm curious as to what you all say.

Naw. I've always admired your posts in a.c, and I'm finding your LJ posts are similiar. I don't comment much, but I do read, and I think you're cool.

It's doubly conflicting, and the fact that all the code is tied into both permissions to read journals and who's reading your journal.

I do use a default_view filter, but 99% of the people on my friends list are on it. I use it as a timeout zone, mostly, if I'm finding I can't deal with somebody's posts for some reason, and I'm fairly consistently updating it. Defriendsing, to me, has seemed like a last ditch sort of thing. So, sometimes it gets difficult about realizing that other people think differently about this.

BTW, have you seen your friends of friends list? Yours would be at http://www.livejournal.com/users/64tbird/friendsfriends, and it aggregates all the people on your friends' friends list into one huge file. (And it strips out the people you already have on your list.) And if you add a ?show=P onto the end of that URL, so it reads http://www.livejournal.com/users/64tbird/friendsfriends?show=P, it'll only show people your friends have friended.

It's kinda neat.

Sorry about the long comment, but there was a lot to say. Thanks for commenting.
