| Since the last farewell entry was kind of weak, I figured I'd spice this up a little bit. Also, I did some quick math and noticed that the 4 year anniversary of when I first started this dumb thing is in seven days. Here is the final entry. Looking over the entries that I have posted since March 11th, 2003 gives me an unbelievable sense of nostalgia. At the time I was a junior in high school and I started a Xanga because, quite honestly everyone else was doing the same. I love reading over these old entries, as embarassing as they are at times because they show flashes of personal growth as well as reflection; never a bad thing. I like the entries that have me really pissed off and whining about something (most of the time I didn't write what) and it makes me laugh thinking about how now my reaction would probably be less dramatic. Between the pandering for people to comment my lame entries, the sexual innunedos, the angry comment wars exchanged between me and some people, the angry rants, and birthday wishes to some friends I found that there was a lot more to my 4 years on Xanga. For a long time, this was my way of keeping in contact with my friends. At one time, I had over 200 people subscribed to me, most of which were friends from high school. It's depressing to think, as I look through these entries and comments how many of these people dont talk to me anymore or I have lost touch with. Then there was the stuff I do remember that I wish I did write about so that I could look back on them and smile. Even though I lost touch with a lot of friends that I used to be close with, thanks in part to Xanga, I have also gotten closer with a few other friends, thanks in large part to Xanga. So with that said, I bid all of you one final farewell. Adieu. |
