  • New Posty-o

    I'm kind of amazed I can still post...

    One of the things I like about xanga is the "friends lock". Yes this might seem rather exclusionary of me, but I want to be able to control who had access to my inner thoughts and my life. Not so much that I don't want to make new friends, but rather the need to keep specific people out. I complain about work, whinge about my family, drool over crushes, and what have you. If an employer, boytoy, or parental unit found out some of the things that go through my mind it would make for some awkward situations... or worse. This was my place to vent in a location I knew would be kept private. I mean, I couldn't even keep a diary because my mom and brother would snoop. I even caught a friend of mine at a sleepover sneaking a peak! 

    Because of this need to limit the eyes perusing my posts, I have put a privacy blocker on my new wordpress account. The funny thing is only three people currently can see what I write, because they asked to be permitted. I don't know how y'all do that exactly, but I have sent out invitations (and if you didn't get one, let me know your user name and I'll add you) yet none accepted. This is a bit frustrating, because it feels like our community has fallen apart. 

    It is like once the news of Xanga 2.0 came out, everyone claimed they wanted to stay in touch and then went their separate ways. Very few people are actually making an effort to keep old friendships alive by all appearances. If you want to see where I am blogging my thoughts now, go here http://jaikaies.wordpress.com/  If it says you need permission to view my site, request it! I will gladly add you, and if for some reason I don't then all you have to do is send me a message, email, FB im, comment, or whatever with your user name and I'll be sure you're one of the privileged few to enter my crazy world.
