…and I’m back! *happy dance*

I guess I hadn’t checked out 2.0 because I was scared of what it would be and that I wouldn’t be able to use it. The very thought was just way too disappointing to handle *sniffle* Then someone mentioned that it was usable and I kept meaning to come see if I could, but never seemed to have the time.

I attempted blogging on a new wordpress account, but it just wasn’t the same… partially because it seemed no one was there. Or at least, I couldn’t tell if anyone was, as I sure wasn’t getting many comments. For some reason that didn’t bother me as much on Xanga; maybe because I knew y’all were reading even if you weren’t commenting?

Anyways, I will be slowly uploading some of the posts I’ve been making on the other page and then will either close the other account or save it until I go to Ireland. That way I’ll just use it as my bloggy of travels… I dunno yet. We’ll see.

So, here I am again and happy to be back. If anyone sees this post, leave me a comment so I know who is still kicking around! And now I just gotta figure out where to find all of your posts…

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.

Is the 2.0 format going to happen and our fantabulous blogging location will continue?

Once I could afford to pay for blogging here I would likely come back. I mean, it’s Xanga so how could I not? I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed for a monetary miracle cuz I love this place and would want our fantabulous community to continue. I know I would be welcomed back with open arms when I was able to afford a return. 

Please be alive, Xanga!

Other than my initial post when I created a wordpress blog, I hadn’t written anything. I think the reason for this is because I was denying that my beloved blog of over ten years was going to be changing, and maybe even leaving *sobs* Now, with the end of the month looming, I decided to give it a go. So if you want to see my latest thoughts you can check it out there, though I will probably still write other posts here until the last possible moment.
