    Default I'm not your friend no more

    I logged into my Facebook account today and became rather depressed. Why? Because a number of my contacts had removed me as their friend. As a rule I tend not to remove anyone from my contact list because, you know, it'd be frickin' rude to do otherwise.

    Topic: Do you prune friends list or have you been a prunee recently?
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    >>> I used to have lots of contacts on MSN, but none of them were my friends..

    I guess it would be the same with facebook or whatever..

    I prune LJ friends when I find I always skip their entries when I read over friend entries. It doesn't really bother me if people prune me from their lists. I probably don't ever know since I don't ever check.

    I prune my friend lists and contact list once every couple of years. I remove people I really do not talk to, or people who appear to be incredibly inactive on whatever I'm pruning them from. But, in the case of MSN, it's simply a delete and not a block, so if they want to contact me they still can.

    Have I been pruned from people's lists? Definitely. xD But, eh, whatever. I don't usually notice, so I guess I don't care.

    I pruned my Facebook epically recently, because there are some people on it that I either 1) I don't want to know anymore because they frustrate me and 2) Feel like cutting ties with (ie: Almost everyone I met in Rhode Island). It's so relieving. Soon I'll have a Facebook with only good friends and people I know from England. It's really heathy, to me~ <3

    Sometimes I like keeping on those infuriating indie-cred people though, the ones that post on their wall about how cool it is to explore deserted disgusting houses where squatters live, and getting piercings at hepatitis ridden filthy huts in the West Village because indie people don't pay more than 10 dollars for a piercing, and post photos of them in those retarded Kanye West glasses, because it drives them nuts that I'm going to be living in England, and they're not. Yeah, it's immature, I know. And I love it.

    I think it's because they want to gain even more indie-cred by having lived there, where they can cultivate faux-British accents and pretend like they're Coldplay or some dumb crap like that.

    I don't prune my LJ list often! I talk to people through that a lot.

    I like how a country of over 60 million, still one of the richest, most influential, and most powerful in the world (We do have almost two hundred nuclear bombs, more than enough to lay waste to any continent on Earth.), is seen as so quaint by people in the US. :kaoyatta:

    I don't know about Wales. We may as well still be living in caves.

    I never prune friends lists because cba and they usually do it before I do anyway. Somebody came online on my msn a few months ago that I hadn't seen online in seven years, though.

    Indie-cred people don't make sense. Their checklist of things to act more indie is forever contradictory. Buying overpriced Ethos water from Starbucks to help Africans is the height of cool, yet shoplifting a $5 dollar scarf at H&M and stealing perhaps the 3 cents an hour that a sweatshop worker in Asia is paid is even cooler. Don't even try to make sense of it.

    Seriously...England isnt that great.
    Hence why were shipping out and across the pond in the near future.

    Anyways topic, i go through my facebook every 6 months or so and delete the people ive not spoken to in a long while. Nothing wrong with it, theres no use in having a friend networking site when half or them arnt your friends!!

    But Midwestern soccer moms have exactly the same sentiment about Britain

    Manus is right about Wales though. Where is the Welsh nuclear force :laugh:

    My European FATHER has the same sentiment. I think it's the accents and Bridget Jone's Diary, I truly do.
