Writing on xanga fell through but its okay!

So I still use xanga constantly these days but just to catch up on some interesting topics that others feel that they need to share with the world. My very own xanga has been untouched for almost one year now. I had a feeling that me trying to bring xanga back was going to fall through, but I had ALOT of emotions running high last summer so I felt that I NEEDED to blog. But now there is just too much going around me that its hard to find time to write it down. It's definitely been a year of change and its still constantly changing, all I can do is take it one day at a time and see what becomes of me. So i'll leave with one last note...

BRING IT ON WORLD!

Drunk Texting...

Texting is taking over!!!! when you no longer drunk dial but drunk text instead you know it's taking over your life. I didn't use to like texting, but somehow I got sucked into it because of the convenience, the fact that everyone has it, and the fact that people keep texting me, thus charging me -.-. I understand it starts to get very informal but it does have it's advantages. At least with drunk texting, you sound less stupid. Unless of course, your writing total incoherent nonsense. I was lucky enough to still be able to write correctly, so thank goodness!!!! but as a note to self, I must never do it again! Don't want it to become a habit now do I? .....

PS - Texting needs to be added to the English dictionary or something. It's used so often now that it deserves to be counted. It's annoying how it keeps coming as a misspelled word...blah

update from a year later!

"Texting" is officially a word in my phone, woot!

Futureme.org

I want to share with you guys something that I've been using for the past few years. I don't know if you ever heard of it, it's called futureme.org, a website that allows you send emails to your future self. I've only shared this with a select few who enjoy looking into the past and see what a fool we've been or to see how much we've grown. Whatever the reason, this website has done wonders on helping get a good insight of the way I was, who I've become, and who I want to be in the future. Since I started xanga again, I figure that this audience would enjoy it just as much as I do.

Simply put, you just write an email to yourself and set a date to recieve it in your email inbox. I normally write what has changed since the last time I wrote and what i expect of the future. I know others who wrote their 5 year plan and set it to recieve that email in 5 years. What would you send to your future self?

Looking at some of those emails I saw how naive and "young" I was, I find that I've really come a long way. I've matured a lot and can fend for myself. I still have so much to learn of course, and in a few years I will probably find myself saying the samething. But it's a good thing, cause that would just mean I've grown even more. Anyway if you decide to use it, have fun with it, splurge on what you want to say and just ramble on with whatever's going on in your head. Later down the line you'll see the very interesting results. (unless you have a boring life and nothing ever changes hahahah jk......NOT -.-)

Since I always have pics, here's a step by step how to wash your hands. Something I found in a the bathroom of a restaurant in Chicago.

Step 1: Turn on water (As hot as is comfortable)
Step 2: Wet your hands
Step 3: Add soap and later hands, including the backs and wrists. If you handle food with y our hands, wash up to your elbows.
Step 4: Wash each finger and scrub for 30 seconds. Use a fingernail brush
Step 5: Rinse hands under running water
Step 6: Dry hands with paper towel, air dryer or other sanitary hand drying device
Step 7: Trun off water using paper towel
Step 8: Check hands and fingernails are clean

I was doing it wrong this whole time!!!  someone buy me a fingernail brush please! haha

Pay back

This is what happens when you don't lock your computer...
(it's my wall paper by the way...the reason why you dont see any icons or taskbar is because its my second screen.)

But that's what I get for doing this...

It's really working!

"Thursday, June 19 2008

So nowadays I've been thinking about bringing xanga back into my life..."

Facebook Status...

"how r u gonna bring xanga back all by ur lonesome?"  (some didn't believe)

"good luck wit that haha" (some were actually wishing me luck or being sarcastic -.-)

"omg why biggie!?. . . 2 eprops =P" (some were just being a dork)

 

Which resulted in me changing my status to..

 

Thought that if I'm not going to bring xanga back in my general peer group then at least I'll have it my own life. But about one month later now I hear that it might actually be working and people are starting to write or at least read xanga again. My sister started it again after my entry on bringing xanga back and she was the one who told me that it was working

 

"btw.... i believe you are bringing xanga back, more ppl that I actually know are updating and saying the same things"

 

Even my friends have started reading again...

Comment from my entry "Can't Keep Up"

"keep it up =] i've been reading! you've given me a reason to sign on to my old xanga (you should start your own blog)"

 

I'm really surprised and I hope this keeps up =)

 

of course there are those that still think xanga is dead -.- and all I need to say is you guys are non-believers! haha, but I shall continue to write on my own accord. Maybe I CAN keep up now... we shall see..
