just a note on removing you from my friends list, so you don't get the wrong idea. when i add someone, it's an offer, and when i don't get added back, i consider the offer declined - no harm done, you have your reasons, and i respect that. the offer stands regardless, i'd just rather not hang out on your unfriended friends list, like some sort of blog stalker :)

C'mon! All the cool kids are doing it! I fear no blog stalkers!
i consider the offer declined
Actually, it isn't, unless the offer is limited to the super-specific "why don't you friend my livejournal this week?" I'm not declining an offer of shifting more towards friend on the "acquaintance <-> friend" scale. I'm not declining an offer to read your livejournal--I do tend to read through my also-friends fairly regularly, when I have the time and the right mindset. I'm not even necessarily declining an offer to friend you back at some point in the future.
you have your reasons
Number one of which is that I have a limited amount of time to devote to reading my friends page.
Number two of which is that (contrary to what my livejournal sometimes looks like), I do have very specific purposes for having a livejournal, not just general socializing.
And number three of which I will tell you in person, perhaps tonight (nothing to fear, just not something I necessarily want to post).
Ah, didn't get this reply untill now, or I'd have asked about the third reason earlier. Btw, just wanted to say, I think you were the most difficult opponent I went up against this evening :)
I just thought it'd be a good idea, getting to know people from the dojang better. Possibly not something that's as high on your friend<->aquaintance scale as mine, and I can certainly understand that. Among any other reasons you may have - you really don't owe me an explanation or anything like that, I just didn't want you to think I were removing you due to any ill will.
Well, ya got into class right before it started, so....
the most difficult opponent I went up against
Thank you! I had fun.
getting to know people from the dojang better
Yes, I suppose.
you really don't owe me an explanation
I really don't do things because I feel like I owe them. Trust me. However, I do my best to be extremely straightforward in my dealings with others, for all kinds of reasons, but mostly because that's what I want in return.
due to any ill will
Actually, I was guessing that you really hated my photographs.... :P
