i call two places "home"
...two places located on opposite ends of the country.
xanga is one more way for me to keep in touch, to maintain relationships with people i love, to feel connected across 3000 miles.
and for that i'm eternally grateful.

I started out on Xanga, left for awhile to try a couple of other sites, and then came home to my first love. I Xanga because the user interface is a model of elegant simplicity.
Rival sites are complicated and "too noisy" with all the extras that are turned on by default - most of which I didn't like and wouldn't use anyway - but you still have to wade through mounds of whipped cream to reach the real stuff. I hate that. All fluff and no substance. I Xanga because I write - not just post pictures and songs and bulletins that say "Look at me! Notice me! Friend me! Comment on me! Tell me how cute and smart and funny and adorable I am! Let's trade pictures and shallow, insincere compliments!"
On Xanga I can post thoughts, dreams, plans, chronicles, and of course, I can opine endlessly and even enjoy a good argument with my Xanga friends who disagree.
Xanga is my first love. I'm glad I came back home and that Xanga forgave me for wandering and welcomed me back as warmly the second time as the first.

I Xanga because it lets me say what is on my
mind even when it does'nt make sense half the
time. It helps me to put my million thoughts into
one big one so that I can talk to people about
whats going on and not confuse them in the
process. Xanga can't talk back to me and tell
me that im stupid and i dont know what im talking
about. Xanga is there to simply listen and let me
express my emotions. Xanga is like a doctor. They
sit in the chair and take notes while you go on for an
hour or maybe even more talking about whats going
on in your life. Xanga to me is like therapy. some
people need to go and actually see a doctor and
talk out loud to hear their thoughts. Other people, like me, need Xanga.
