I have a brain. Really, I know I do. I've managed to get A's on papers and attend schools and camps for the Gifted, but it took me 3 years to figure out the best way to use the LJ f-list. Ummm, ya, not proud.

I've been a bad lj friend & f-list reader, and certainly part of it is the whole changing continents and attending University thing. The other part? My f-list was too damn long. 140-odd communities' posts combined with 100 friends added up to about 15+ pages for a days worth of entries. So I kinda, you know, avoided looking into that black hole too much.

So back to the part where I discover I may have a brain. Today, I realized that there's this link on a community profile called "Modify Watch", and it means you can be a member, and not have it on your f-list. In some fairness to my brain, I have tried to do this before... I just, you know, couldn't figure it out.

Long story short? I'm only watching a few communities now, and I can actually read my f-list again. Without most of the fear, and only half the guilt and shame. You know, because I'm still working on the commenting part. Eh, another day, hopefully one where I remember I have a brain.
