I've been a member and poster for over a year, and I'm curious to how many nubblites are also involved in this long-lasting fad.
www.xanga.com/tuba1026 is mine...for those of you whom have not seen one. [ March 03, 2004, 02:21 PM: Message edited by: f3lix ] |

Seriously, no idea what it is.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

It's one of the best sites for online journaling. Seriously, I update all the time. One of the more entertaining things that occupy my time.
I was actually thinking of making a post asking if there were other people out there who had these too. www.xanga.com/legendaryconguerist |

Yeah, they have a buddy list. And emo or trendy enough? GAY enough? What the fuck?
An online journal DOES NOT have to be "here's my angst ridden feelings for today". In fact, that's what I've really really been trying to get away from. But it is a good alleviator. And a way to add insight to your own thoughts. I know that I enjoy rereading my journal (and yeah, it might be a bit narcussistic) and remembering stuff that was happening when I wrote the stuff. It's not me divulging the most intimate moments of my life......although some people do degrade their blogs by doing that, or gushing over their significant others, or other cliche acts that I fucking hate..... Ah fuck it. Just check out my blog and see if you hate it or not. |

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. [ March 03, 2004, 05:40 PM: Message edited by: Pliedes ] |

Sheez.
Oh, and Pliedes, I actually understand what you're talking about completely. Because I run into those "here's a picture of me in one of those angst ridden poses that mirrors the material of my entries" types of journals all the time. I'll tell you, sometimes they can actually be relevant, sometimes they represent Percipere's definition here. I guess I have a completely different conception for what an online journal is. Or at least, I do now. Sometimes I look back at my old entries, and it's non-stop babble about stupid shit...... Whatever. I still enjoy the hell out of mine. |
