I'm sorry if this looks like it's coming on top of a lot of other cuts done lately, but I've honestly been contemplating it for the longest time and it just had to be done. This was very difficult for me because I've known you guys for awhile and it wasn't the best feeling in the world to remove any of you, no matter how much (or little) we've interacted.

If you've been cut, it's either due to one or more of the following reasons:

1) You don't update anymore. I don't think I can get to know you more if you don't ever update, or update very, very sporadically. It's hard to tell what you're into, or how your life has been going if you don't ever tell me about it.
2) You don't/hardly comment. Most of you should know that I'm a commentwhore, and while I don't expect you to go crazy with commenting like me, I do appreciate a comment every now and then to know that you're still interested in my entries. It's okay if you "don't know what to say sometimes" but sometimes =/= all the time, and if you've not commented for the last 3 months, that has to say something, doesn't it? I don't know how our friendship will develop if we've never communicated in any way before. It's ridiculous to think that a few of you haven't even commented at least once.
3) I don't/hardly comment. This is rare since personally, I know I've commented on all of your journals at least a couple of times before. I do read everything on my flist and I wasn't kidding when I said that I'd comment when I had something even vaguely to say. But there are still a few of you that I tend to skim over quickly because I can hardly relate to what you say all the time or that you tend to post short, 1-liner entries that I find hard to comment on.
4) Our interests have waned/we've drifted appart. I'm sure I friended most (if not all) of you because we were in similar fandoms, or had common interests. It's okay if you get into new fandoms and fangirl about them from time-to-time, but if you're posting about things that I don't understand all the time, I'd just be confused and lost when I read your entries. Isn't friendship more fun when we can spazz over the same things?

Friendship is two-way, and it's not reciprocal anymore if you fall into any of the above categories. I've always been interested in knowing all my friends more and I welcome people to IM me (I've lost count of the times I posted my contact info). But if you've not made the effort to comment/IM/talk to me in general, then I really don't see our friendship going anywhere. Also, obviously all my new friends from friending memes and whatnot are immune against this, and I do take into account people on hiatus. So.. unless I really feel that we don't click anymore, most of you are safe.

The last thing I want to stress is that this isn't personal in any way. I could've made this a quick and short post, but I feel that the least all of you deserve is a proper explanation and my rationale.

If you feel that this has been unfair for you, or if you want to know the exact reason why you were cut, feel free to leave a comment. I want to avoid the drama llama so comments are screened.

This has been hard, and I apologize again. If you've been cut, please remove me ASAP.
