Tidying up my friend's list

[watervole]

I'm about to delete a couple of journals from my friends list and will probably do a few more over the next week or so as typing abilities allow.

I'm mostly deleting journals that never seem to post themselves, or that never leave comments in my journal.

I'll list them as I remove them, so if anyone sees themself and wants to remain, then all they have to do is to comment.

bonsaient , banhe , eskoala , fairylaura , hp_lexicon .

It also seems only fair to consider adding people who do regularly comment here.  My normal policy is only to friend people whom I've met in real life.  However, there are some people like winterbadger who comment regularly (and intelligently) and who might want to read my occasional friend's only comments (I mostly tend to friend-lock when I'm talking about people like my math pupils - I don't feel it fair for any comment about them to be where a friend of theirs might be able to read it.)

If you want to be added to my friend list, please put a comment (I'm screening replies), telling me who you are in real life, a little about yourself so that I feel like I met you at a convention and chatted to you and decided to friend you afterwards.

Now we have properly met in real life! I thought the cabaret went rather well. In my dreams, I can dance in time to Lehrer...

I feel as if I'd recognize you immediately if I met you in real life. Does that count? I'm sort of on leave of absence from writing LJ entries and seldom comment, and may continue that for a while (gardening takes that time of day right now--partly due to your inspiration!), but I read your entries without fail--wouldn't miss them.

You're safe.

You're on my mental list of - doesn't comment that often, but always says something interesting/intelligent when she does.

You've just been friended. It was great working with you and I hope we'll have the chance to do so again.

I only regret I will probably never meet you really. But again...who knows?
I am really honoured to be still on your friens list!*Hugs*

I feel like I know you even though we've never met.

Maybe we will some day. Why not tell me next time you come to London and maybe we could meet up somewhere?

Oh really? It would be wonderful! So hopefully next summer!
Don´t laugh but with you, I have a "feel" of being with my favourite, fantasic lady teacher who will hold my hand:-)

I'll look forward to next summer.
