I've unfriended exactly one person since getting my LJ. She unfriended me first, and I was trying to be considerate since my presence in her life was causing her all sorts of problems with her "best friend" (who hates/hated me, a feeling that is/was not shared). Because I am secretly evil, you see. ;)
But though I have 62 friends listed, there are far fewer actual people there. ;) A pretty sizeable number of friends have two or three LJs for different purposes, and I tend to have them all friended.
I totally agree about the "not giving a crap" part. I've been friended more than once because the person wanted to beef up their friend-count. This is knew because--of about 100 interests that I have listed--we shared not a single interest! And since I have things like "reading" and "friends" listed as interests, it's more difficult to be completely opposite me than to share at least a few. :^P Nor did they ever comment on my LJ. So that shows their interest, and with the exception of one still hanging around, they all went away eventually. As I told pulsarkat, much of what I have to say is interesting to only certain people. Clearly, they weren't those "certain people."
Friending behavior is interesting to me. I think I'll have to make a post about this.
