I’m still thinking about giving up on this whole Xanga thing. But I’ve been here five and half years (what a loser!) so a part of me feels obliged to stick around a bit longer. Although I’m certainly intrigued by other blogging places, as it allows a little bit more of a creative flow that I’m certainly lacking here in this teeny-tiny, itty-bitty corner of cyberspace. I haven’t written creatively in well over a year and I think it’s starting to eat at me. No one is really here for that so I might be off to find someplace else that craves and nurtures that side of me. Y’all will be invited (all, you know, 3 of you who comment on a regular basis – such dwindling numbers; not like I was ever ‘popular’ here in Xanga High School, but you know..) so no worries about that. I’m just seeking a little different space and a different set of minds to bounce things off of than what is now gracing a majority of the pages here (see: young 13 year olds).
On a completely different note, it’s snowing here like crazy. It’s expected that we will get a grand total of six inches but I am thinking we are going to get way over that. It’s been snowing since approximately 8 or 9 am and there is already about three inches piled on the ground, the roads, and more specifically: my car. Driving back from work at the high speeds of 20 mph, I saw two people slip-sliding down the hilly roads and a couple more take a few slips towards the very wonderfully placed highly inclined hill on the side of the road that only leads to God-knows-where, most likely a place where no one will find you for weeks on end. Also, my town decided that even though it’s snowing at a rate of 0.5-1 inch per hour, snowplows are definitely not necessary to keep the citizens safety intact. My car felt like it was time to rebellious and on top of the 20 mph that I allowed myself to drive, it decided that ice was going to form on the windshield wipers making it impossible for me to see out the window unless I stretched high or stooped low. My normal 15 minute drive to work took nearly a half hour. It got worse the closer I got to my apartment, seeing that my complex didn’t even have the decency to even attempt to plow any of the snow so I took a gander in the 3 inch snow piled along the entire stretch road and sidewalks. Fun shit.
And to try to waive off the fact that I just complained for an entire paragraph, I’ll throw in the fact that I decided last night after class to drop by the store and pick up chocolate, just to ruin my diet (aka “lifestyle change”). Wonderful, aren’t I? Can you tell I’m not feeling this whole Xanga thing at the moment? Sasha and I are about to go lay on the futon and watch some crappy daytime shows about baby’s daddies and women talking about everything they can and how so-and-so owes blah blah $135 for the fact that she called her a slut.
I have to meet with my advisor soon to put in my classes for the summer and fall semester. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go huge and take three classes this summer (I know, such an over-achiever!) and then pile on 16-17 credits next semester. 28 more classes to go before I graduate with my BS. That’s approximately 4-5 semesters. Sigh. I’m going to be so old.
I’m too bitter today to even write more. This seems sufficient.

maybe just start a new xanga? that helped me.
i’m glad to see you’re still around, though.
I’ve had two xangaians I read regularly “move” over the blogger in the last few months for the same reasons you outlined. If you do decide to change let me know…I still want to read and I’ll add ya to my ever growing “Blogs” bookmark subcategory. : )
I guess I can understand finding a new medium for “serious” writing. But I do hope you’ll still let me know what’s going on in your daily life even if you do write creatively more often
The snow… oh boy! This is the most snow I’ve seen in a long time. It’s pretty awesome, except it took me an hour to drive home from work when it took me about 15 minutes this morning to get there.
None of the people who got me to JOIN this thing use it anymore. Hell, I barely use it anymore, but I still read the pages of my friends who still update. I kind of like the privacy of it…I’ll write some things on here that I don’t like to post on my Myspace blog. I don’t have any time to update blogs much anyway, so when I do it’s nice to know there’s a place I can post the “uncensored version” and not have all 190-plus people I know read it…only those I think need to. When I finally joined, I assembled a specifically-chosen group of bloggers from the “William Woodsiverse” of the old days, to be the people who read my page. In return, I reciprocated and read theirs, and we always gave each other feedback. I appreciate that you’re one of the few of those still around…it’d be a shame if you left now!
if you do move, please let me know k?
I’ve not written proper stuff for a long time, mostly just ranting in my blog. I’ve been caught up with college, there’s just no time, and sometimes I just can’t put down my feelings in words. Yeah, a lot of people ahve moved to blogger. I just don’t have time to maintain so many blogs.
How about a new xanga?
And I would love to see snow!
But I might just get frostbite, lol..I can’t stand the cold.
Take care girl!
You swap directly with the person who has the product you want, so they pay shipping for the product they are sending you and you pay to ship the product you are sending them…it gets a little pricey for swapping perfumes and stuff since those items are heavier, but little things usually cost under a buck to send.
