or: A Confession, an Admission of Wickedness; Wherein a Misdeed Moste Terrible is More or Less Put Right, Albeit Rather Belatedly, But at Leaste With Some Smalle Amounte of Flayre

Mom... Dad... i've been taking Marijuana
i haven't read anybody else's LJ (except for a very few close friends, and a far fewer far friends/idols/feeds) in probably over a year now.
in fact, although i have 55 total friends, watch over 200 communities, and have 44 syndicated feeds, i have been tightly filtering my friends page down to something like 40-50 total sources. that means that some of you, i sincerely regret, have been, in the past, to put it, well, bluntly, but at least, somewhat, buffered by several commas, cut out.
and i hate that, because i love all of you kooky freaks. and i miss those of you who i haven't been reading lately.
well, mainly it had a lot (read: everything) to do with the fact that i didn't have a computer and thus had limited online time available to play catch-up. i now have a computer, don't i? what have i been waiting for?
i feel like such a bad friend. i have been a bad friend.one who deserves a spanking.
it occurred to me recently that i have only been hanging on to LJ for the community. not the communities. the community. i have my new dumb little blog, and i do enjoy posting there. in fact, i have posted there more than anywhere else of late. it's mine, and i'm proud of it. i can do literally anything i want there. i don't have to learn some esoteric new meta-markup just to make it look pretty (which it doesn't anyway, but i digress). the air is nice, and the view of the internet is breathtaking. it's nice to move from a coliseum to the open air of a field. it is! but while my sound may, at least in theory, travel much farther, the sound back from those i look upon is considerably muted by distance (and, truthfully, lack of participants).
so while i may post there more often, please be assured that i am reading every wonderful little word that you are writing. except for those which you have selfishly locked away from my prying eyes. (yes, i am no longer hacking into your account. and i'm very sorry about that.)
also, while i'm not keen on pointing out who exactly i've wronged (as i'm additionally not keen on pointing out my own shame and guilt and myriad of iniquities), i do wish to make it clear that although i may well not have commented in a long, long time, i have definitely been reading more of you folks than you might think, anyway.
my new must-read filter will now contain only those communities and feeds that i am fond of, but also every single human being who is currently a mutual friend.
the floodgates are now open. completely, and fully. welcome back, my darling little kittens. i have missed you so.
