Cleaning House

I just did a major cut. It was hard, but I did it.
I was prompted to do it because I got cut by someone else this morning, and whenever that happens, it makes me stop and look at my own list.
Looking it over, I realized how little I have in common now with a great number of people. I've had this LJ for 4 1/2 years and a lot has changed in my life during that time, and a lot has changed about me. More significantly though, I realized that there are a lot of people who rarely update, rarely comment and/or rarely respond to comments. I have always maintained that LJ is something of a 2 way street. I use it to write about my life, but I also use it to read and get to know about other people's lives. It's hard to do that if there isn't any back and forth.
