Chuck, I'm not saying that the "emo/trendyness" is an absolute thing more a generalization, but I'm sorry, it seems like every Xanga I go to has a some black and white picture of a kid with their hair in front of their face, slightly off center, with some quote by some band about suffering and life, with every other post being "today was the worst day of my life" citing something to do with their girlfriend not liking them or something. Then the post all their second rate poetry or song lyrics and pretend to be deep or angry at the world, probably because their girlfriend wouldn't give them head or because their parents are "fascist" for giving them a curfew...
I know your Xanga is different, and I realize it isn't always like this, but that seems to be the overwhelming feeling I get from it...
I kinda see the online journals in this way. I don't give a shit about someone I don't know or care about. If it is someone I know or care about and what they right is personal, then I don't want to read it, and if it's not personal but significant, they'll tell me about it anyway. That's my take at least.
