Friends Only Lockdown

[sonoranrn]

So, regrettably, the time has come for me to make my LJ "friends only". As a general statement, I don't give a damn what people read/know about me which is why it's been a public blog for so long, but apparently someone somehow related to my job has started taking notice and directing my co-workers'/superiors' attention to it. I'm not keen on having another discussion with my DM about a post taken out of context or blown out of proportion.

So I'm rolling up the welcome mat, raising the drawbridge, all that jazz.

I did a f-list purge recently to cut down on the pages of entires I was dealing with. I tried not to cut out anyone who commented regularly, though. If you got the axe, please don't take it personally, and if you want back in, just let me know.

As for new people -- feel free to reply here if you're interested in reading my ramblings.

Ugh! I had to do it, so I know how much it sucks. Sorry it came to that.

I would like to find this person out and have a lengthy dicussion with them. Because NOT COOL.

*dives in under friends-only cut* VIP ROOM, HERE I COME!

[megalion.livejournal.com]

i got the cut and would like back in.

I don't even remember how we came to have friended each other but I've enjoyed reading about your schoolwork and now your job.

And I hear you about going friends only.. I pretty much became FO in Oct 2004 when things went really south with the enemies of my rescue's founder who went after everyone still involved.

For a while now I've really been wanting to go public again (by resurrecting my non LJ site, my posts used to be mirrored here, not originated here) but now I'm so much more conscious (read: paranoid) about what I say publicly. :(

You shouldn't have gotten the cut! No no no, I wouldn't have cut you. According to my f-list, you're still in. I'm tre confused. Will investiage and insure you are, in fact, still in.

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Egads, man, I wouldn't dream of cutting you!!

[burny-md.livejournal.com]

Yay! I made the cut! ;)

*hugs*

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Of COURSE you did!! Silly boy. And we still need to get together.

[burny-md.livejournal.com]

Well, I think we're heading to Fest this weekend. Not sure of any details, but if you're interested, let me know. :) iirc, you work saturday until 06:00ish. So if you ended up spending that night sleeping, you'd be all set for going out an playing on saturday (which is most likely when we'll go).

But like I said, nothing definate yet, but let me know if you're interested and I'll keep you aprised. :)

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Actually, I work from 0600 on Saturday to 0600 on Sunday. And since this particular Saturday is St. Patty's Day and my station runs to Mill Ave, I imagine we won't sleep a wink. Consequently, I'll probably drop like a stone into my bed Sunday morn. But keep me updated, nonetheless!

First, that sucks.

Second, supposedly in the next few days LJ is suppose to role out a new
set of mass lock down features for paid members.

Third, I miss you. We should fix that sometime.
Yea, yea, I know - time/distance/life.
Just sayin'.

Re: hey

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, LJ already rolled it out and I already used it. Quite nifty, I must say.

And YES. We should get together. Aside from being in dire need of an Elmo fix, I also need to see my ocean. We should plan something. I'm assuming you'd shove over and make room for me, were I to come out for a visit...?

Re: hey

[el3mo.livejournal.com]

Your Ocean is still there. I check on it daily for you.
Come out to visit anytime, except perhaps July when I will not be here.
I will gladly shove over for you, so do come visit.
The new place here is turning out pretty swank.

Re: hey

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Another couple SoCal friends have been nagging me about a visit, which makes me 3x as sure that I'm overdue. Am thinking sometime in June?

Re: hey

[el3mo.livejournal.com]

Yes, June.
call me or write.

I'm in. Not a big commenter, but a frequent reader.

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

You've been in. No worries.

[thebroomecloset.livejournal.com]

That sucks. Sorry to hear that you're having to go this route.

I've never met you (and vice-versa, of course), but I found your journal through burny_md and the homebrewing community. I enjoy reading your ramblings and would love to continue to be able to. Feel free to ask burny_md to vouch for me. :)

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

A friend of burny_md is a friend of mine. You're in.

[thebroomecloset.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thanks. :)

[mustangracer.livejournal.com]

That sucks. I had to lock a bunch of my stuff do to some issues with people on my friends list and Drama-Rama.

Sorry that people at work are causing drama for you. You use this as a tool to reflect and analize hard situations. If I was your boss, I would recomend locking, but encourage you to continue writing about your calls.

I love reading your posts. I love hearing your EMT stories.

I totally had my fingers crossed for you and Steve. It sucks that didn't work out.

I totally had my fingers crossed for you and Steve

OMG -- you made me tear up. I thad my fingers crossed too...

I love reading your posts. I love hearing your EMT stories.

I'm glad to hear that. I'll definitely continue to write about them, fear not!

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

HAD my fingers crossed, even. Gads. *should use spell check more often*

friends only

[lspsyco.livejournal.com]

I hope I can make the cut seeing as I've known you since you were 17 years old. Talk to you soon (I hope)

Love longshot

Re: friends only

[azfiregirl.livejournal.com]

Well now that I know it's you, of course!! I didn't know you'd created a new profile.

Miss you pieces, oh big-bro-o-mine.

Hiya--

I've been bopping in and reading your ramblings. I haven't joined and admit that I am also a bit internet savvy/paranoid (you can decide) so I don't do a blog for that reason. Anyhoo, I would still like to read it, but I'm not sure if I can if I'm not a member? Probably not... you'll just have to email me more??!!

Hi there! While I certainly can't guarantee that all my posts will be as interesting as the one you read over at BC (I tend to post "highlights" there, so to speak), you've been added. Welcome!
