15th Xangaversary
The 24th marked 15 years for me here at Xanga. I think we were some of the first bloggers. It was mainly a community of writers, poets and artists. We shared our work with each other and like pen-pals became long-distance friends. Most of us have gone on to other social media sites, but they're not the same. Some of us still keep in touch. I'm glad of that. I continue to post my poetry here; I publish little of it elsewhere. The world seems in too big a hurry for long posts, and memes and funny cat videos have replaced much of real writing. I miss what we had here. It was very good.

Fifteen years down the road! My xangaversary was the 21st I believe. I miss it. The energy,creativity, discovery and even some of the drama. Well, here we are. I'm a little bored with memes and never have been a cat fan. Maybe there is still a 'place' like xangaversary somewhere on the Internet. I don't know, but I have a lot to thank xanga for, and wish I could recapture a little of the olden days.
Imagine. The internet has olden days.
wow Cheri! nice to see you are still sort of here. Xanga was our first internet love, and what a place it was! i hope we still pop in from time to time and remember the wild west of the internet...
Lucy, good to hear from you! Pop in anytime.
Kathy, time flies. I'm glad to still be able to keep up with your writings elsewhere.
