• Long time Xangans help me! I feel like I'm in OZ

  Edit below

  ______________________________________________________________________

  I never do this, but I am asking for at least my old Xanga friends to read and rec. this post.  I want others to see it.  But most importantly comment, I need answers.

   

  Even though I have not been a regular on xanga and have not posted a lot it has always felt like coming home. Less comments, that's to be expected, you snooze you lose and all that. Not a loyal blogger, not consistent  with blogging or comments, understandable, no one knows you or cares. I get that.  But this was a place where I still felt like home, where I could express my crazy life, in my crazy way, and people would like it it for the most part.  

  Now don't get me wrong, I have met some very nice people here as of late.  But I am so out of the loop.

  I feel 100 years old.

  What the F*%Ck is a troll? See I can't even use the F word, we didn't do that back in my Xanga days.  And I'm sorry someone posts the word CUNT on the front page?  I am NOT a prude, and I swear like the best of them, but really? the C word?

  And OMG this obsession with

  Evolution vs. creationism 

  Atheists vs. Christians ( so far it seems other religions or non religions are left out of the war, thank GOD)

  Gay bashing, Gay love, Gay pretend love, ( I love you, just not you)

  Then there is the pure HATE for Obama and democrats and pure disgust with republicans.  No grey EVER.

  The hate and the disrespect are honestly freaking me out.  

  
  Who is LoBorn and why does Xanga hate them?  They seemed very Christian on their site, but lots of Christians dislike them ( her I guess ) too. It confuses me.

  I don't understand.  According to Gallup Polls, assisted suicide is the most controversial subject.  But here we just rip on people's identities, and religious or lack there of, beliefs.  I used to be Xanga friends with @pryjmaty, who I guess is still around.  On the surface we couldn't be more different, she was ( not sure if she still is) into a life style I didn't really understand.  But she had kids, so we found common ground. No vicious attacks, because she was into domination and submission.  What do I care?  Whatever makes you happy. 

  Thank God for @seedsower who writes nice stuff, and is sweet and pleasant.  And @thetheologianscafe still asks interesting questions about those odd news stories he finds, or about what people are talking about here.  And what people are talking about here, just blows my mind most of the time.  Not wanting American Soldiers at your table?  I was sad about that, and kind of angry, but some of the comments, wow! Actually, I did skim it and a couple of his points were kind of true, in my opinion.  I see grey.  

  But Dan Theologian is no longer on the top every day, and even though that sort of irritated me, it was a constant, I don't like change much.

  And then there is my @Bubblyslife, she seems the same.  And of course there is my wonderful Bob, still the same, into scrabble, so sweet and supportive, I just love @twoberry. I still see @madhousewife sometimes around here.  @stillgroovy, does protected posts because she wanted to, so I got her a life time thing,years ago. Around here I see @celestialeteapot and once in while I see @transvestite_rabbit, who is so funny and a wonderful writer. I see @jsolberg is still blogging, and @Santivi, is here. And @dsullivan was here the other day I believe. And the loyal @Erika_steel is here. @musicmom60, I have seen. @trixiebelden is still posting but I guess I miss them for some reason. @vexations is still writing beautiful poems and posting lovely photos, thank God. And he leaves witty comments from time to time. @PPhilip another loyal guy. @Leonidas seems to be back, doing a fitness blog. But nothing else.

  I hope I didn't miss anyone who is still here.  

   I miss @BB61 and his liberty girls, and @miss_order was nice. @bad-dogma has not posted for two years and he left the best comments and was also SO funny. I miss @fratmom and @CynaraJane, @Devilsdogs_dog who could have written a book. @jadedmom and @kissmequickly come back. @DaBombMom2 and @D n N Mommy, @daisymae 81, @jerjonji, @mouthygurl, the only Xangan I ever met in person and @MsCatbert2you, @Nina-Williams could funny me and write me under the table, hasn't blogged since 2010. @princessfiveanddime, it's been years,@pray14me? Last blog 2010. @Paizleygrl, it's been a year. @SouthForkCheerMom seems to bop in on occasion, but not daily like before. Where's @TheFunnyFarm and her pigs? @whonose, 2009, last blog. @simone-de-beauvoir wrote timely, sometimes controversial stuff, but it was discussed with respect and maturity. @SunnyCalifornia, great attitude about life. @pulling-my-hair-out, all gone. @LonaMay, long gone. @browneyedpsycho, shut down, @Corbow, thought of coming back but didn't. @toogoofy, last blog 2007,@SoonerRose gone

  I'm sure, actually I know, there are so many more.  People who closed their sites down for good, people I loved and miss that I overlooked here. Like Rick ( can't remember his Xanga name)and Mark ( forgot his Xanga name but he was funny too) If I forgot you, it isn't because I didn't like you, I'm just old. Or maybe you're still here and I missed you.  if you were my Xanga friend back in the day, I loved you.

  This is just a different Xanga, one I don't know if I like yet.  We used to have inside jokes among the community. I wrote this once upon a time

  • Xangans are a supportive and protective little group.  Thank you.  
    Wow, I have come a long way baby.  It has been over a year since I wrote my first post, here it is, Laura's first xanga post
    
    
    Then I proceeded to re post my very first post there.
    
    
    I love blogging, I miss it.  I know we can't go back, but I just wish things were nicer here.  Maybe I am missing something.  Long timers help me out, please.  I don't want to shut down this site, but I don't understand Xanga.
    
    
    Making fake magazine covers, making fake advice columns, laughing together about pigs and cats ( inside joke), I miss that.  So much laughing, so much support, so much REAL love. 
    
    
    
    
    I'm just sad.  I don't like this soap opera.  I don't like Jr. High.  I blocked about five people on Xanga my whole time here and that was because they wanted me to look at their Vaginas.And sorry you've seen one seen um all.  Everyone blocks here, threatens to block, writes about blocking and hating other Xangans.
    No it's not the same, not at all.  It just isn't.
    
    
    EDIT:  With all my ranting and strolling down memory lane I forgot my photo's.  
    So here goes
