johnoBeen very busy in my personal and work life lately, so not much in the way of "real" posts lately.
Not a "real life" update, but some stuff that has changed in my online life.
A couple of weeks ago I hit the big 750. Yep, I tried to add friend #751 and the system said "Oh, no you don't."
Cleaned up some broken/dead RSS feeds & communities, and finally removed some user accounts that I know have moved on to using other account names. Back down to the 720 range now.
I've turned off IM forwarding to my mobile phone for all the IM services I use.
I've been missing messages or getting them very late, and I can't reply to them on my phone.
If I'm off-line, leave me a message and it'll pop up next time I log in.
Note: I prefer Yahoo, but sometimes have AIM, ICQ, MSN, & Skype running as well. (ids in my userinfo)
I met someone at a party who knew me from LJ, but had not friended me because other folks would unfriend me, if they saw she had friended me.
Normally I avoid drama, but what the hell, I've friended the person I was talking to. I wonder who'll be among the first to drop me as a friend???

Date: 2005-02-07 10:57 pm (UTC)At first I troubled with how to deal with those people when I wanted to have a party or gathering... do I have multiple gatherings, do I just not have any at all, do I invite everyone?
Finally, I just settled on my, "Screw it. I like being me" philosophy and I'd just invite everybody whom I wanted to be there and make sure everybody knew who was invited. If they showed up, I expected no drama and if they didn't show up because of somebody else on the invite list then that's their problem not mine.
There's so much potential for drama in the world, I figure as long as I don't take it personally and make people in my life clear I won't put up with it, then at least it'll be fairly minimal.
So far so good :)

Date: 2005-02-09 07:21 am (UTC)We also learned a long time ago to not check to hard for conflicts, because we would go crazy trying to find a hole in all our friend's schedules.
We pick a date 6-8 weeks away, that avoids major events (cons, regular parties, etc, etc) Announce it our friends and send out invites 3-5 weeks in advance.
Sometime we get hordes, because nothing else is going on. Other times, such as our last party, the crowd is fairly small, as it turns out there were several other events the same day.
