PSA: f-list maintainance /spring forward fall back

[fictional]

Hi guys. I'm doing a little f-list trimming. There's some of y'all that I think only friended me in order to keep up with fic posting; rest assured all that stuff, plus fandom discussion etc. will still be posted unlocked, and I continue to love to talk to y'all. But if we haven't had much or any interaction/you very rarely post, etc.... - I'm doing a little spring cleaning. If I de"friend"ed you, and you want us to continue interacting, cool! Just drop me a note. Thanks.

p.s. Americans, change your clocks!

ETA: I've finished this round of maintainance now. So if you're still on the list, you're still on the list. =D

There's something ironic about springing forward when it's still winter. WTF?

I was actually surprised you guys jumped forward now. It's the 21st here.

Yeah, it sucks. I hate this time change anyway. WANT MY HOUR BACK.

The US changed it for some weird economic reasons. We had no choice but to go along, cause that would have been hella confusing otherwise.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Economic... reasons? I do not understand.

[demotu.livejournal.com]

Something to do with daylight and working hours.

The world is very strange.

That was funny. I always just thought it had to do with cows. Then there's this:

*quietly maintains that spring should technically begin on Feb 2 on account that summer solstice is colloquially known as 'midsummer'*

Sorry. Personal hang-up. Those who reckon by the solstices/equinoxes should probably be compensated for this bullshit. ;)

There's snow on the ground and I want more sleep. I celebrate solstice etc, but don't reckon by them. I don't reckon that much, frankly.

Eh, it's arbitrary. It's also an excuse to drink and celebrate.

We (meaning me) are big on the drinking and celebrating of these things. Figuring by cross-quarters allows me to drink and celebrate each season twice! (Once for me, once with people who do it by the quarters.)

Note: okay, so that's not the ONLY reason, but it's still a fine excuse.
