Major.
I went from 400+ "friends" to 288 "friends".
That's 100+ culled.
Oooh yeah. I was ruthless:
- Anyone who wasn't a regular (ie more than every six months) user of facebook - unfriended.
- Anyone who I hadn't spoken to in real life in more than a year - unfriended.
- Anyone who I only had a vague/tenuous relationship with - unfriended.
- Anyone (a couple of former so-called Besties) who hadn't returned my calls, texts or emails - unfriended.
- Anyone still working at the Toxic Workplace of Doom (my former Sydney employer) - unfriended. (That place has gone to hell in a handbasket - all the good people have left and I've remained friends with them. The ones remaining are not worth bothering with.)
- People I've met for a nano-second at a party or work event or random gathering - unfriended.
- Anyone who only added me in the first place because of my ticketing connections -unfriended.
All told it was a rather cathartic exercise.
So how was YOUR weekend? Watch the wedding?

And you're left with 288 of your closest friends? Tch tch tch....
Weeeeelll, I do:
(a) work in the arts where you flit from job to job meeting loads of people;
(b) come from a background where I've lived in a few different countries meeting loads of people;
(c) happen to be a Gemini. We have lots of friends.
