I do something similar. I keep a list of filters: people I know locally and have met in person and consider friends, people who are other writers and who often write about writing, and "everyone else." I manage my reading time based on whether I'm trying to catch up with people I know personally, whether I want to read about writing, and whether I want/have time to browse.
The filtering is helpful too because it allows you to lock entries to specific filters. So I can ask the writers about a problem with contracts/agents without having it broadcast to everyone who's reading my journal. :)
Some people are weird about being Friended, but I'm with penmage above about it. Sometimes people will state their Friends policy in their user info, which is helpful.
