friends list pruning

[aimeekitty]

hi void!

I have 449 people on my friendslist. I've finally decided this is just kind of stupid.
EDIT: downt o 320 now ^_^.. (ACK!)

So... if we converse everyonce in a while (even just little comments and such in my journal, that's cool...) Then I'll leave you. I just want to have at least said hi once or twice. Or if we are friends, then obviously you're staying.
if you never comment on my journal, and I don't know you, I don't really see why you should know whether or not I went to the grocery store that day. :)

SO! If you aren't someone that I at least "kinda sorta know" please post something here about who you are, etc.
if you are not on my friends list and would like to be, please feel free to know in in the getting to know-ness!

if you're someone who comments occasionally, then please, don't worry about it, I'm not removing you. :)

Please don't be offended if I don't add you, just too many people! (besides I just post about cookies and fabric anyway)

sorry to have to do this, I know it's kind of pretentious.

THANKS!!

NOTICE!!!!!!!!! as I'm pruning, I may accidentally delete some people I know... If I delete you and you didnt want to be deleted, just say so! :)!

My name is Rey-Rey and I like steak. ^__^ v

Wow, Reyrey! In this big world, I never thought I would ever meet another steak lover!

I now feel complete.

449??? how do you manage reading your friends list???

[karisu-sama.livejournal.com]

For some reason 71 ppl have friended me o.O

I don't even know who they all are!!

I've only got 40 on my friends list, because even when I view custom friends it's still a LOT to look at . So I have to have a policy whereby I NEED to know people to some degree. And if I occasionally take people off it does NOT mean I necessarily dislike them at all, it could be that it's all just too much to handle... *brain explodes :p*

(Hope you got the comment about getting a lawyer and contacting that scummy art thief's IP - someone responded to me with some helpful links, including the person's internet provider, but I know they meant that response for you.)

Re: 449??? how do you manage reading your friends list???

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

^_^ the answer is,... I dont keep up with them AT ALL.

I only read my custom friends group, of people I really really know well. That's all I have time for. there's maybe 20 or so people on that list.

but yeah. it's just obscene # of people. basically my friends list is the "I dont mind if you read my journal" list. not a friends list. if that makes sense O_o...

welp, what I'm doing is contacting the service providers, etc... I figure I'll try that before actually getting legal.

I think you kindasorta know me!

And I envy your fabric. :D
Btw, have you made anything from that gothic heart fabric yet? It was so cute!

Re:

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

you don't count! :) we actually talk!!

I'm just talking about people who I like don't know from adam and who neither of us comment on each others journals, ya know? :)

unfortunately that droolworthy heart fabric must wait for at least another 2 weeks... must finish aragorn and maybe arwen first...!

*waves*

I'm a long-time fan of Aimee's beautiful art, since the Gargoyles' days, who's often too shy to say anything intelligent. I'll understand if you feel like dropping me... ^_^() We don't really know each other, and I was quite surprised when you did add me back!

Hmm.. something about me.. I'm an up-and-coming, very arrogant wannabe comic penciller, who has a not-so-secret desire to rule the world.. but these days, who doesn't? I love both American and Japanese animation styles, and particularly love the (good) crossbreeds of the two.

[caelum.livejournal.com]

Hullo-- I'm Conna Stevenson and I added you because I really love your artwork. I've got the Waterfall animation saved somewhere in my mountain of zip disks... Anyway, I won't be too terribly hurt if you don't add me back because as an artist myself I know how valuable privacy is. Especially as popular as you are in the art circles.
At any rate, I just love seeing your work and all.

[lberghol.livejournal.com]

Oh oh! Well, I think we kinda sorta know eachother..but just to be safe..I like to draw and also enjoy cookies. And though I do not make anything out of fabric I do enjoy it for it's asthetic beauty. ;)

Re:

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

man, don't be crazy lady, I'm not removing you!
me hearts the lberghol!

[diavana.livejournal.com]

I'm... Dawn ^^; and i've been a fan of your artwork for quite awhile. then realized you cosplayed too, when i saw you at the cosplay.com picnic last year. too shy to say hi. i'm always too shy lol but yah... that's me. ^^; and.. I like... chocolate a lot. and Japanese style curry. ~nods~

[crimson83.livejournal.com]

Hello Aimee (I love the spelling of your name by the way). ^_^

Hmm, a bit about me. Well, I came across your journal a while back and decided to add you as a friend since I like your art (been a fan of it for years). I noticed the little mood theme you have and thought it was cute (I have yet to find one like it). We've got a few of the same interests as listed on the user info.

*sees a previous comment* I like steak too...small world isn't it? (sorry couldn't resist)

Seeing as it's about 2:30 am here (I live in GA) I can't think of much else to say. If you don't add me back, that's fine I understand.

Take care.

[bri-chan.livejournal.com]

Well...we've met a couple times at comic-con. O_o Maybe that counts? And I have worshiped your art for nearly 6 or 7 years now.

Um...I like pengiuns. ^_^

Re:

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I worship your art back! it is hearts and flowers! I've loved it for a long time, but then you probably know that. :D (and besides I totally know who you are even though we don't talk alot. ^_____^! ) Plus your icon = sexiness

[coda-leia.livejournal.com]

you're so wellknown on the web ^^
I'm Coda, I'm from France. I bought you a comic last year and I love soooooo much your art and your work. (hope to see the second, can't wait ^^)
I put a link to your website on mine (www.studio-dds.ht.st)
well that's almost all... 0____0

Do you have some details on your Asagao work ? story,...

Seeya

[tidus-dream.livejournal.com]

Me ish Wayne #2. We talked about costumes and props and stuff like that @_@ You and Jean tried to tie a pink ribbon in my hair at Mira's bday party =P lol

[nitrojen.livejournal.com]

Eep!

Well you've been my favorite artist ever since I got the internet. That's been a few years ^_^ I also got interested in dolls through your journal. I don't comment as often as I should but I try to at least every so often. I guess you kinda sorta know me? :)

ogle ogle ogle

[losubres.livejournal.com]

I've ogled your website for ages (I think I found you when you had the design of a cartoon you perched on a tree branch, sketching). I'm a bit of a Gargoyles geek, so I was downright giddy when I came across your art.

I'm all quiet-like, so I don't really comment, but I love reading about your Dollfies and cosplay adventures...

So...please allow me to remain an LJ fan-geek?

^.^ Kt

[boxofrocks.livejournal.com]

^_^ i hope you keep me, aimee.

i'm quite interested in new developments in your life :) and artwork, of course.

[caffeinewabbit.livejournal.com]

Not sure if I count as a commentor or not, since I'm more of a luker, but I've always enjoyed reading your posts and I comment every blue moon or so.

Anywho, I'm just a fanboy of sorts. I believe Conrad Wong introduced me to your stuff back around 1998, and I've been hooked ever since.

[windbourne.livejournal.com]

Hmm...welll....my name is Ahna, and you friended me a while ago, so I friended you, 'cause I liked your art and those beautiful, beautiful dollfies. =D I'd be sad if I could no longer see your posts...but, er, that's a LOT of people to try to read through...O_O! Besides, mostly I post poetry (read: doggerel) and not much else. ^.^

As a side note, I'd like say that I'd like to slap sll art thieves a good one. I think my art (aside from being no longer on the web) is a little too, er, obscure-ish for most people to try that with, but it really creaks my crank to hear that it's being done to others. X____X

[digitalis.livejournal.com]

I'd like to stay. ^_^
I emailed way back over whether to go to Calarts or RSAD, and you saw my roomate

[nitedragon.livejournal.com]

I think I've commented a few times...and personally would comment more, but unfortunately my mac/compuserve combo doesn't allow the "post comment" button to appear int that browser, so I have to open up IE and post that way, so it takes a little more time than usual. But I still enjoy reading about the "exciting life of an animator!!" *cue trumpets*...I'm sure it doesn't seem that way lol...although I aspire to become one. eep! enough on me. lost comment. sorry :P

Fellow animator

[yaso-khuul.livejournal.com]

Hi Aimee,
I'm a fellow animator and I'm a Sheridan grad, go to Anime conventions and cosplay...I'm also posting on your aimeeart studio forum ^-^
I replied to your posts now and then, by the way did you manage to get the "Hero" DVD?
I really dig your current avatars for personal reasons...
Me and Mine are like Arwen and Aragorn *sighs*
anyway, if you're willing to add me back go ahead...
I love the occasional conversation with fellow artists ^^

[kaitoujeanne.livejournal.com]

I have been remiss in posting comments ;; But I'm living vicariously through the SD posts since poor Ismene's back at home, waiting for me...

I'm beginning to wish I could go to more California cons this year, but life in Oregon will do that to you.

[lenity.livejournal.com]

hiya aimee! my name is leen and i added you because i love you artwork and i'm a fellow doll collector too! :) i'm an artist in practice. yay for animators! :D i'm a student in so. cal studying studio arts and graphic design. hope you're doing well!!! you're so great!

[shaunpup.livejournal.com]

Heya, I know I don't leave comments that often in your journal (mostly since I can never really think of what to say), but I hope you keep me on your list. ^_^

Of course, you know I'm a big Gargoyles cel collector. :) Oh yeah, I like steak as well.

dont be silly ^_^

HI there!

[columbine.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Joanna and I've been looking at your art and have been a fan since... wow... forever. 5 years at least. I'm just a girl from California, that lives in Utah and actually enjoy your comments in and about the world. I like steak, but I like sushi more. :)

*waves*

[unmei-no-yume.livejournal.com]

Hihi,

Totally understand the importance of trimming the friends list. I don't think I'll ever run into that problem, but I do understand. So I'll totally understand if you must take me off. Anyway, I've been a long time admirer of your art and your cosplaying and such. You amaze me to no end and as a wannabe artist I must say that your work has been really inspiring. ^_^

I think a while back I commented on your lj, but I've become more of a lurker on lj as of late..I'm trying to change that this year. =P And just so you know how much I love hearing about people's days, my homepage is my LJ Friends page ^.^ I'm a freak I know... it's hard to explain but it is just a way for me to think outside the box of my life... Eh, I think I've said enough to scare you off... *huggle*

[gab.livejournal.com]

I'm ... like.. .a huge fan of yours. And comment every once in a while. :) Artist on yerf. Who lOVES YOU.
