  • True to Xanga

    I would like to thank the Xanga team for honoring me with Xanga True.  You can read all about me and the other 4475 people here.  I would like to thank my children first and foremost, for without them this award would not have been possible.  It all started with me stalking their sites, and then all the hours of semi uninterrupted blogging time.  Sure there were times when they got frustrated that I was on Xanga for 24 hours straight and they were hungry, but they got used to it. 

     Next, I would like to thank my family and friends, and most especially the idiots and boys at work for giving me all this blogging material.  Of course my best entries are not about you at all and usually involve total strangers, but I know your supposed to thank people so...

    I saw on the above linked site an interesting comment.  This person was concerned that us Xanga true people would think were better than others because of our unique and obvious new tag/badge.  Well yeah!!!  I mean seriously, I put a lot of effort into my site and I make every effort to whore for comments comment on others sites.  I have dirty bathrooms people!  Not that I would clean them anyway, but come on!  You think you can just come on here and blog once a month, never comment others and get rewarded?  No, I think not.

    And I'll tell you something else, I never got a My Space.  It's true I have cheated a little bit with facebook, but I don't write notes on there so it's not really cheating. 

    You know the Xanga team didn't say this, but I think we ( by we I mean the 4476 Xangans ) probably have the best sites too.  You can't expect to write a bunch of illiterate, boring, crap, and get a special badge/tag.  They say we got it because we update too much a lot, and we comment whore leave others comments, but we know it's really about quality.  It's true, I begged asked for a badge, but I'm sure I  was going to get one anyway.  You also get one if your helpful on Xanga.  I don't know what that means, and frankly I don't care, if anyone is true to Xanga, it would be me.

    Now it's true, I have been very lax about visiting others since we got the new reply feature.  But I don't think they can take my True badge away because of that.  After all, I wasn't the one who thought up the reply feature.  At least I have been very good about replying to comments, which is more than I can say for everyone. 

    Some of you still have no idea what I'm talking about, and that is why YOU do not have a true badge.  Did you bother taking the time to go to the link, read all about it, and come back?  No!  And that shows me and Xanga, your just not as devoted and deserving as I am. 

    If you don't understand the sarcasm and wit of this blog, your dumb, and then you REALLY don't deserve a true badge.  Lets make Xanga the smart community, and My Space can have the pediphiles and stupid people. 

    Look for my True  tag badge of honor, when I leave you a comment.  If I ever do.  Boy, this reply feature is great!

     

    Ps. I have noticed I have used the word True a lot in this entry.  I think that is very telling.

  • Now you've got "true" and "life?"  You are the star of xanga!!!! 

  • Well said ::snickers::

  • I'm always too late for this stuff. If I'd started like six months before I did, I'd be all blinged out too. But no, the Commando is always too late, and even when he's not, he's dissed. What about me? WHAT ABOUT THE LOOTBAG COMMANDO? WHAT ABOUT ME?!

    Bad wrestling reference. It explains a lot, non?

  • ha-ha! i was wondering what the TRUE tag was all about -- guess i have to go read now & find out ... love your sarcasm...

  • i'm not TRUE ... boo-hoo...

  • I love you hahaha-this piece is hilarious. I especially like your reference to the virtue of MySpace (pederast heaven). 

    Frankly, I didn't think I deserved the badge--abandoning blogging for months at a time sometimes. 

    You deserve a mini because gosh darnit, you're special, like a True blue Xangan :P

  • I think they should declare an Official Holiday, & throw us TRUE Xangans a Parade!!! 

  • WTH?  Where's mine?  LOL ..

  • Truly deserving, I'd say.

  • @Get_Real_64 - It's true, I am.  I'm so kidding.

    @screaminginmyhead - welcome to our elite club, I'll try and come by later

    @Doug_Glendower - maybe I could put in a good word for you, I have an in now

    @lalunebleue - I'm so sorry.  I'll still be your friend even though your not true

    @hilaw - shhh, if people know undeserving people got it, they'll get mad.  Just pretend your special too.

    @HalfaCent - You got that right!

    @kissmequikly - I'm sorry your not in the club, maybe they overlooked you because you don't know how to kiss butt.

    @misinterpreted1 - Aww thanks

  • I guess xanga hasn't visited my lovely site yet. See if I vote any more LOL! It takes a lot of work checking out all those photos and videos and reading people's blogs.

  • I am so utterly and bitterly jealous!! I have been a member of xanga for 7 years! 7 YEARS!!! I update at least every day.....I get comments.....
    damn!

    ah well, I'll just live through you

  • I think that makes me number 4474 true blogger!  :P   I still think they should give us free premium ........instead of just a label........or take us all out to dinner or something..........

    Great Speech Laura!  :P    your dress was fabulous on the red carpet!

  • It just goes to show ya, that those of us with no life get rewarded by Xanga with a reaallly cool badge by our name!

  • I post protected 99% of the time.  Why did I get one???  Strange....

  • @browneyedpsycho - oooo yea or send us all on tropical vacations

  • You are the xanga QUEEN.

  • I think also they need to improve the reply button to where it sends a copy to the person you commented on their xanga blog instead of their email........:)

  • Oh great xanga wonder, I bow down to you...

    Funny post!

  • Huh? protected posts can get a true medallion? Anyway If they ever give the secret of how to qualify getting a true medallion, then too many folks will get one.

    Yippee I got a thousand points...

  • @PrincessFiveandDime - hey I'm on your side with that one, and then the thing always stops when I'm not done

    @MorningAngel - well now we all feel bad jeez!

    @browneyedpsycho - Thank you it was an off the rack and I had my hair done by cost cutters.  What were you wearing Sears or Target?

    @ok123LetsGO - I've been hoping for this day forever

    @Bukowski_Rules - we might have to get you disbadged ( sorry)

    we'll vote tomorrow

    @screaminginmyhead - with umbrella drinks

    @Daylily02 - yeah along with thousands of other schmuks

    @browneyedpsycho - It goes to the private page, I think you can get the email part disabled

    @PPhilip - hey your in our club, be happy

  • @nicumom - You may stand now.

  • I'm smart, I'm smart! -heehee

  • @princessjami - 

    yay!!!! ha ha

  • I could not stop laughing.

    Might be your best ever.

    And, ahem, notice I'm just as TRUE-blue as you are.  Just not as funny.

  • I do have a myspace, but my myspace is actually my kids and my friends and band stuff, etc, but myspace cant replace xanga, my xanga is my actual blog, i actually say stuff and do stuff on here, myspace, i post pics, and bulletins, but rarely blog at all.  

  • I don't know what they use to determine this, lol, almost ALL of my subs are "true."

  • Man, I thought I heard the orchestra playing about halfway through that acceptance post.

    OK, so much for my comment whoring for today.

  • Maybe if I could frigging figure out how to get there with this friggin newly designed site I would read all about xangatrue.  Hey miss xangatrue could you tell the uppy upps that us old folks need slow changes.

  • People are pretty passionate about this one.

  • Lookie, I'm true too

    @browneyedpsycho - If they use the new private home page, it does

  • LOL  Expand your horizons if you'd like.  It makes no difference.  I have a myspace to keep in contact with my Alaska daughter.  I have facebook to play Scrabulous.  I got a TRUE tag too...

  • Yeah I logged on and found that and panicked for a second because I thought I had bought life premium in my sleep!

  • I did read about true and it seems like you bought the honor  but stop by my site and  if you like what you hear  leave a donation and maybe I'll get a badge too.

  • @twoberry - 

    thanks, your True blue my friend

  • @pogueatl - 

    well, I guess your forgiven, just make sure you don't really use it.

    @soul_survivor - 

    yeah, way to make us feel not special.

    @ronlawhouston - 

    fine I'll come by geeze

    @LonaMay - 

    I don't think your eligible cause you protect.

    @TheTheologiansCafe - 

    then people are crazy

    @tx_christian - 

    True's rule ha ha

    @fratmom - 

    well i don't think cheaters ( other social network people) should get trues.  JK

    @whonose - 

    ha ha ha
    God forbid

    @blackheartedforce - 

    I will stop by, as soon as  I can, promise.

  • I love the remark about letting MySpace have the idiots and pedophiles!  So funny!

  • @kirby1960 - 

    well you know, the truth sometimes is funny

  • @momofjenmatt - Well thanks for the forgiveness, and as far as using it, i only use it for the reasons listed above and that is pretty much it, but i dont pay for it, unlike xanga, which i pay for, i am even a lifer on here, have paid for xanga since about a month after i started it, that is how much more i love xanga than myspace, but i keep in touch with my son who lives in another state and my daughterinlaw, and my nephews band. I dont mean to make anyone feel unspecial, i am sorry if i have. i welcome anyone to come by my site and read my life, i am really trying to get better about doing more post, believe me, it is not myspace pulling me away, it is time. I know i am protected, but i thought i was only protected against anyone who doesnt have a xanga, not people who have xanga, if i am can someone please tell me how to unprotect it where outsiders (nonxanga users) cant see it, i have a ex that spies on me and i dont like it.  

  • @pogueatl - 

    I was only kidding you.  I am rarely serious.

  • @momofjenmatt - I know, i was just being sarcastic...hehehe.. had to make a response to the row of comments to my comment...hahaha!!! Seriously, you guys should watch for more from me in the very near future, i used to blog every single day, got involved in several groups, and then something happened and i lost it and just kinda disappeared and now i am back!!! will be trying to blog every day like i used to.

  • Me too...me Too! I'm True! BAHAHAHA!
    Funny, funny stuff! Loved it!

    P.S. How does the reply feature work? Imean...does it show up on the other persons blog or just under the comment they left you?

  • Pffffttt...all you TRUE people just think you're all THAT!!!  Ha! ;)

  • Congrats!  You crack me up!

  • @flaminredhead - 

    It should show up on your private page and/or and E mail.  Let me know if you get this.  It's great, but then it is hard to visit when this is so easy.  Not that I'm not interested in others blogs, I am but you know, with RYC.  it kind of forced you to go by.

  • @NewCreation311 - 

    I am all that ha ha

    @mom_da_bomb_14 - 

    well thanks

  • @pogueatl - 

    well I promise to try and make it around to see you, I have about 1/4 of the time on the computer lately

  • @pogueatl

    Go HERE to adjust your privacy settings.  XANGA LOCK means only people who have a xanga account and are signed in can read your site.  FOOTPRINTS LOCK means they have to have footprints enabled in order to read your site (so you can see who is reading it).  FRIENDS LOCK means they have to be on your friends list to read your site.  You can use any combination of these locks to achieve the privacy level you desire.

    When you make a new weblog post, you can set it to PUBLIC and only the people who can access your site via the above locks can read it.  PROTECTED still refers only to the people who are on your protected list, which you can edit HERE.  You can also use this in combination with the above locks to achieve even more privacy control.

  • @tx_christian - well i adjusted it, it is only on the lock thing where you have to be signed in to read my xanga as of now.  thanks for the help...

  • Here here... and I think you are totally right.... people shouldnt be jealous just because we are so elite and so special... not EVERYONE can have a badge... just 4476 Xangans... seriously.. you think the True badges just grow on trees????

  • @bubblysox - bahahahah

  • I too, am TRUE, and who do I thank? But you oh fair Xanga princess.  Why princess? Cuz I, my dear, am QUEEN.  LOL  This has got to be one of the BEST posts I ever read.  Great Job!

  • @hbasedmomof6 - 

    ha ha, thanks.

  • LMAO, great, creative wonderful entry! I couldn't agree with you more! :)
    Especially the dirty bathroom thing....and I don't have a myspace either but just recently got facebook to keep up on my kids.

  • @prettynosyarentu - 

     Thanks I wrote this awhile ago, so at first I was like " huh?" then I remembered I posted it on the FG site.  Thanks

  • *falls on the floor laughing* I'm so glad that you are happy with the feature. I think it's a really good idea- and I'm whoring... er... striving to get it o.o

  • @silkenbutterfly - 

    Maybe I could put in a good word for you, I have in's

  • ...and mad funny... and I love it!

  • I like that you called people "dumb" if they don't know what you are talking about. :) You're awesome!! (And quite True, I must say, seeing as how, as one of the chosen ones myself, I can surely know a True when I read one!)

  • @roddymccorley - 

    Thanks oh smart one

  • @SuSu - 

    Thank you.  Love the false thing

  • I absolutely love how snarky you are in this. I wonder how many people are going to take that the wrong way because unlike bad flip flops that hurt between the toes, you cannot buy a sense of humor at walmart

  • @AnatomyOfThisGirl - 

    aww thanks, it seemed like most people " got" the post, but trust me I have had some real idiots commenting on other blogs where I'm like " WTF"  are people that stupid?  yes, they are.

  • Stop it! Stop it!  I am rofl and slapping my hands on the carpet---from which big puffs of dust are rising---because I too, have spent way too much time here visiting and blogging about my boring life.....

    Kudos to you, ma'm.

    I will be sending you an award very shortly.  lololol

    This cracked me up.

  • U mmm ... "pouting" ... Will have to go buy Life ... and well true ... This means I have to type more. funny. great. makes me want to cry though. I want to be true.

  • Congratulations :)

  • Funny!  If they'd had that feature about 3 years ago, I would have had one as KoffeeKween. . . another site that always had great content and gorgeous pages (snicker)....got a good giggle out of this one!  Needed it, THANKS!~Jeri

  • haha, very funny post.

  • My badge just showed up one day and I was like "Well, hello.. what's this?"

  • Lol.

  • awww congrats!!! i got my true badge yesterday! yayy

  • Ignoring the pun of saying it was true to form, it had me laughing the whole  way through!

  • how do i find peole to be friends, i like wolfs. im jose by the way

  • I hadn't actually read the post explaining the True badge, but like you I took it somewhat as a comment of how much time I waste here on the pages of Xanga. Hmmmm.... not waste evidently -- enrich. Yeah. That's it, enrich. I'm going with that.
