Well, Xanga. It was been 1000 days since I first created you.
my god, how you changed my life.
my god, how my life has changed.
some people have blamed xanga for so much crap, they are probably right.
they say that it lets just random people read your business, which is true.
but the amazing part about it is that i can look back at each post of these years, and remember that exact moment. remeber exactly what i was feeling at that time in my life. the love, the joy, the excitement, the anticipation, the longing, the hope, the hardships, the moments of pure life.
I started this thing as a naive sophmore of high school. I made mistakes. I did some things I will never regret. There are times in my life i lived on here that I wish I could live over and over again for the rest of my life.
I have met people that I wish I could see their faces every day for the rest of my life.
I am going through my posts, and its hard to hold back the tears. remembering.
I remember when:
I thought it would be fun to tell a homemade joke at the end of every post.
Janissa was once of the few other people i knew on xanga.
I thought being a host at Baker's was the coolest job in the world. I might have been right.
We lost at One-Act.
We did little shop of horrors. And I peeked out of the curtain out of jealousy.
I went to HOBY. What a joke that was.
Floating. Floating. Floating.
Me and mom went to gallagher.
Big Brother consumed my life.
We won One-Act. How happy we were. Some people get so stuck on winning state, on doing this and doing that. But regionals was all we wanted. I think it was the happiest moment of high school.
Getting rides.
Gus was little.
I discovered Pei Wei. I can remember the exact booth me and my mom sat in.
Bad days.
Being pissed at the lunch ladies with ann-lisette.
You make my nickles tipple.
STAY stay conferences.
I met Jason. It's funny being able to see the very first communication we had with eachother, that very first comment.
My mom would wake me up with "It's seven o'clock on the dot...."
I was silly beyond reason.
Playing bingo at the american legion.
Sneaking around to tulsa after work. Going to the "movies." But it was actually just OYP. That place was so awesome....then.
My emotional breakdown at work. The worst moment of my life.
Hating Timon.
French class. The fab 4.
Jeremiah and his songs. I just saw where I talked about the song "seniorita."
Sneaking around even more.
Fighting for no reason.
I got a loaner phone with crazy txt messages.
High School dress codes.
Ann-Lisette and I discovered we play mean tennis.
Ross called me weasel.
Crystal became a hag.
I fell in love with brian, and he swept me off of my feet.
...and dropped me.
....and swept me again.
Lil'Jon, Jens, and Ricky came into my life.
My party. Turning blue. Stopping Breathing.
Summer '05?!
.....and dropped me again.
I went to PAI.
I had Amazing days with Miguel.
We dressed to get screwed.
Reechard and I saw camelot.
Crystal and I had our end of summer bash.
I started senior year.
I saw DOLLY in concert.
I met my pastey, red head, jake.
I could eat my own face.
Me and Ann-Lisette saw Rocky Horror Show. One of the most fun nights ever.
Jake and I and Gay-ncle saw "Cirque Dreams."
Going to Panera on sunday mornings for bagels.
I got a new years eve kiss.
Heads Turned.
David Enevoldson appeared. Love him.
College decisions were made.
Xanga got sick, and began to die. MySpace started growing on me.
Got ino Quartz and hired at Hollister. Both ended up not being exactly what i expected, but good in different ways. Met Sarah and Kelly.
The summer started.
Met Shayne and Scott and Caitlin.
I met Tyler.
Got my car broken into on 6-6-06
Summer Ended.
I went to college.
wow. 1000 days for some reason doesnt really seem that long, but the changes that took place in there are insane.
I am at college now. 1000 days ago I thought this was never going to come. Real life starts now. I am not sure I am ready. This is in no way going to be easy, i think it will be alot of fun, but not easy. I hav gotten to see ben a bit. I have met some neat new people. I have the weirdest roomate possible. I miss gus. I love my family. Sometimes no matter how much things move around, they stay just the same.
Well, I just thought I needed to do this. Mostly for myself. Sometimes you need to look at where you have been to help where you are going.
I wish everyone would bring their xanga back to life one last time and do something similar to what I have done. It would deffinitely be entertaining getting all nostalgic and all.
I hope everyone is havoing an amazing life. Good Luck Everyone. You can always count on me to be here if you need me.
Always,
