  • *blank face* wow, really?

    while browsing and commenting and generally looking for people that seem like someone i would want to talk to, i've noticed something. well, more like a list of things:

    -the more some one complains about xanga being a dying website, the more hate post they make about another user. gee, i wonder why their 'old friends' dont have accounts anymore.

    -many people think they are important enough that "so-and-so" user is their own personal troll.

    -drama becomes immflamable faster than three cheerleaders on the rag fighting over the same guy.

    -disagree with someone, and its an instant bitch fight to the death, along with blogposts about how much the world hates you.

    -there's a lot of moms here posting about their cute kids. [and they really are cute]

    -the youger the user, the more they treat xanga like a hybrid child of livejournal and facebook, not like their own personal internet hate machine.

     

     and just a small comment/example: i've been apart of conversations between atheists and believers, and not once did the convo turn bitter, nasty, or hateful. God, what a concept.

    *the younger 'us' are more accepting of someone and their opinions, and i think have better relationships with eachother in the end.

  • my five favorite things

    maybe for a while i'm going to be doing random blurbs about things i like/stuff about me so you can ... i dont know.. pretend you think you know me? to assume nothing here is a lie? [errm: trust me, for now im not]

    fishnets. i wear my lovely unisex fishnet damn close to almost evey day. i wear it over or under t-shirts and tank tops.

    boots. fuck your uggs, your forever 21, and all your hipster, scenester bull crap. my knee high, five buckle boots will crush your skull. i'm talking about the shit hottopic used to have five years ago; volatire, NaNa, demonia, and doc martens.

    corsets. i don't wear mine because i feel ugly or unhappy with my body. i wear them because it makes me feel powerful. a resurrected sex symbol- what more could i say?

    cosplay/gothic lolita. *loltia does not mean a young seductress in japanese culture; it loosely translates to dressing pretty, or like a doll* though i'm too poor to participate, i still enjoy the culture of both.

    my last favorite thing is a box someone gave me to protect until he came back. it has a winnie the pooh theme- a small painting of pooh bear in a tree with honey pots on the front lid, with the whole inside and outside decorated yellow with bees buzzing around. it sits on metal clasps protecting the corners, and i have it somewhere where i see it everyday.

  • why here? why now?

    why here?

    last summer i created an xanga account i spend every day on. I wanted some thing no one from school would know me at. In the begining of june, 2010, my best friend went off to join the army and myspace became to depressing and boring for me. in fact, i was really starting to get sick of all the mainstream crap, so i was  an angry and irritable person all summer. between summer school classes i would google things like "the anti-facebook blog" "blogs that aren't mainstream crap" and "free blog sites." i clicked on tumblr and i didn't like that it was blue like facebook so i decided on xanga. i met a lot of cool people here, though i have long forgot what email and password i used, or those person's xanga names.

    at the start of the school year i pretty much had stopped logging on to xanga after my college planning teacher gave us a project that was impossible to do without a facebook. i planned to delete it after the project was over, but my army friend was now out of boot camp and convinced me to keep it so we could stay in touch.

     

    why now?

    one of my tumblr addicted friends kept telling me about all the amazing people she met and how generally glorious the site is. so i made an account and tried it for a few weeks before i got sick of all the "i'm more original than you becuase i stole the link form a real artist first" bullcrap. last night i was bored out of my mind and i kept thinking i want to talk to people. i  want to get to know some perfect stranger that doesn't live in my time zone. that never happened on tumblr because people were too busy pretending to be 'original' they forgot to be a real person. [end rant]

    so hopefully this account also doesn't turn into a summer project that disappears at the start of the school year.
