So, who remembers Xanga?? I loved Xanga. It was my first blog. I created it while I was at Western during my sophomore year, six years ago! I absolutely loved it. I was pretty consistent with it too. It wasn't entirely a journal but in some ways it served as one. It was an outlet for me; one that was different from my personal journal where the thought floods had, and still have, no boundaries. It was a place for me to be creative in ways I couldn't be anywhere else.
Side note: There is a great quote from C.S. Lewis about the awesomeness of a journal. (I can't think of it verbatim at the moment and I'm too tired to search for it, but I do know it's found in A Greif Observed). He talks about how a journal is the only place to fully express all that is going on in your head and heart.
Anyway, I've found my old xanga site a few weeks ago. I must say there is something special to me about it. Similar to the specialness of an old pair of trusty tennis shoes. They know your foot well and they've been through a lot with you. I definitely enjoyed going back through my entries to read them.
Well, all this to say: here is the link to my xanga. My two blogging sites unite! I plan to make the same posts on both sites, mainly because I like the xanga but I have more followers on this one. If you decide to check out the old site, which I highly doubt anyone will, enjoy it! You will see and learn a piece of me literally in my past.
