I'm cutting down my lj-reading time to a bare minimum; feels like a good time for it and I can use the time spent here for things more important to me right now. I cut my f-list quite a bit, too. I want to be able to keep up without having to skip half the posts, which is what I have to do now. No offense intended, feel free to de-friend back, you know the drill.

I know the problem! I got my life back including more space for other reading when I cut back on the time I spent on LJ. I love it but it sucks up time frighteningly. Hope it works for you.

Thanks :) I don't think I'll have trouble cutting back. The main appeal of LJ have been the episode discussions. I really think all the insight made me look at some things with different eyes, and get the most out of the show.

Recently it often felt like I was wasting my time, so it's a really good time to cut back. From now on I want to stay away from meta and fannish debate and concentrate again on what made me discover fandom in the first place - the fiction. I had so little time to actually read stuff recently.

Heh, great to hear cutting back worked for you.

Having just come back to LJ after nearly a month off, I *so* understand your decision. I'm glad you kept me on your flist, though! I'd have missed seeing you when I actually am online! :)

What, and miss your fanfic? Not a chance :)

I loved your latest one! I should write a long feedback, but I don't know whether I'll get around to that anytime soon, so I'll just say this now: loved it. There were two lines in the end that totally got to me. And no sap. No... ah, can't write more, might spoil someone else.

Kel, I also wanted to send you a postcard but again, stuff keeps getting in the way. If you want to see what the place I live looks like, just mail me your addy, 'kay?

I'm sorry. I'll defriend, because I don't feel like I should be reading your journal if you don't want me around, but if you ever have more time and want to add me back, I'll be tons of happy.

Greeen, you were the first one on my friends list when I got the journal, and you'll be the first I'll add back once I expand again. I just need a little break right now, because so many other things seem to get drowned in lj discussions. I really hope you don't take it personal, I swear it wasn't.

I've sent you a couple of emails, but they keep bouncing back to me with failure notices. Do you have an alternate email address I can use? The fault may lie with Lycos, I've heard it has been acting wonky lately.

I think it worked, I got the one mail twice. My email has been extremely wonky lately. At least two mail have got lost. I can't find the cause of the problem. But it seems to be everywhere. Probably spamguard related.

And about your mail... I'm really glad. :)
