  • Xanga: The Evolution

    Yeah, I'm writing about xanga itself. Along time ago, I began writing here. I was fourteen and just enrolled in a brand new town. Back when I had a lot less drama and a lot less friends. Everyone from Coshocton had xanga, so I knew I needed to get one. I did and added everyone so we could keep in touch. At that time xanga was this crazy place where you posted anything and everything. And the way you kept in contact was by leaving each other comments on post. People hooked up and broke up through xanga posts.

    But then, People found this thing called myspace. Now isn't that cool. Now the irony here is that I joined myspace and xanga around the same time (I joined xanga first by like a week). After a while everyone saw that myspace was the "next big thing". So everyone hoped over there. Some kept there xangas for a while, but eventually they died down. And sometime after myspace, facebook got popular, and now everybody's there.

    Now for the reason I'm back at xanga. It's the exact same reason I left in the first place nobody used it anymore. I needed a myspace and facebook to keep in touch with friends. So I stopped posting to my xanga all together. But after talking to my friend tara, I decided I needed a place that was calm. A place that was away from stupid apps and pointless bulletins. Somewhere I can be myself, and not worry about what other people will think. After a short thinking period, I decided xanga was the place for me again.

    Now, all of my friends aren't here, but I needed that. I have my own blog too, ([matt]). But my xanga is more emo(tional, I'm Not Emo ). I can put my heart on my sleeve and not worry about others ridiculing me. This isn't to say there's no one on xanga anymore. It's just a calmer, more dedicated and understanding group. That's the reason I took xanga back.

    I hope that wasn't too long, but I wanted to write it out before I forgot.

  • New Year's Eve

    Well, It's New Year Eve and I'm sitting at my desk. I feel completely sick and exhausted.  Man, yesterday blew. I slept all day (that's not the bad part) and I'm still tired. *coughing* I hope I get over this soon. For once, I'm actually sick and I can't enjoy it because school doesn't start for another 3 days!

    I know about a couple New Year's Eve parties, but I think I'm going to skip them, unless I miraculously get over this. *coughing*

    So my girlfriend finally got my Christmas present back to me. I forgot it at an Anime Marathon I went to at the Coshocton Library.It's a D-Generation X sweatshirt and a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.The problem is that I don't know if I actually *love* her. hmmm. I was going to break up with her last month, but I was afraid to hurt her feelings. She doesn't even know I'm bi. It's not that I don't like her, It's that I don't think I *love* her.I don't know what to do.

    Well I'm going to get off here, I hope everyone has a great new year.
