Defriending Etiquette on MySpace?

[anogete]

I thought I was going to have a leisurely, quiet morning since the roads were iced over and I was told not to come into work until later in the morning. Instead, I spent two hours answering calls from multiple coworkers on my cell phone. We were all playing phone tag, discussing the road conditions and such. If you couldn't tell, snow doesn't usually stick to the roads here all that much. There was a seven car pileup at an intersection I pass through each morning at around the time I would have passed through it. Luckily, I was flipping pancakes at home when it happened.

I have a MySpace. Two years ago, I said I was never going to get a MySpace, but I caved when a good friend of mine (who still lives in my hometown) wanted me to create an account so we could keep in contact. Through the site, I have found several classmates from my high school days. Truth be told, I'm amazed people remember me. I wouldn't remember the me from high school. I was painfully shy, awkward, nervous around people, and I never attended any school functions or parties. I'm no longer shy, awkward, or nervous, but I still don't like parties. Some things never change. Anyway, because I used my real name on the MySpace website, several family members found and friended me. I honestly don't mind that and rather enjoy keeping track of them through the site since I rarely talk to anyone but my mother on the phone these days. My issue? Some of these family members (adults, even!) are so hideously stupid and immature with the things they post that I feel as if I need to remove them from my friends list. What is the etiquette with this sort of thing? Is is proper to de-friend a relative on a social networking site, not for any sort of drama, but for the simple fact that if I have to see another ridiculous sex survey (written by a teenager) filled out by grown woman I might blow my lid? Why does my mother's cousin insist on sending me surveys in which she opines on whether she likes sex in the morning or at night and discusses exactly what her favorite position is? Do. Not. Want.

Oh, and on the TMI tip... Holy crap, does Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward make my pants dance or what? Butch, you sexy beast, you. The bit with the hand job near the beginning of the book... Gah.

I shouldn't like The Dream that much, but I listen to him like it's candy.

I do like Vishous. His story...just wow is all I can say.

My favorite though is probably both Zsadist and Phury equally. And I think that's more because their stories are so interwoven.

I'm waiting impatiently for book 7, which will be about Rehvenge. He intrigues me, not so much because he's yummy (I don't really think he is) but because his back story seems so damn interesting.
