  • Where's Xanga tonight?


    I found Liz_A lamenting the changing face of Xanga here.  Here was my response to her.


    There were 625 posts between about 9:30 and 10:30.  I recognized 6 of the bloggers.  The rest were mainly teenagers as you describe.  There appears to be a strong Hawaii contingent and a strong New York contingent.  But, indeed, the very youthful and (un)grammatically brazen are inundating Xanga.  In some ways, Bianca Broussard was a blessing--"she" recruited a *melting pot* cross-sectional variety of humanity and not just high school kids. 


    At this rate, within a year, every kid in high school will have a Xanga account.  And those of us remaining here and not in high school? We be Xangarelics--(hey, I coined that term )  But when I did, I didn't realize how apropos it would so soon become!


    hey, hi skul's koo, I just don wann go back
    an, no, got nuthin gainst noone but squawking *first dates* *condoms* and *crushes* grows old for me fast   now second dates--ya wanna talk second dates?  great, let's just park it over here...


    Like Liz_A, I tried to foray into the Random world of Xanga tonight and found Xanga H.S.  The Recently Updated: predominantly Xanga High.  The Newly Created: the future class of Xanga U.


    Yet if only 1% of the high school contingent were as playfully expressive as someone like vickyvix, the experience of Random Xanga would be rewardingly rich.


    What should really be interesting to watch is what  happens to Xanga H.S. come summer vacation.  Will Xanga remain for most of them something to do?  Or will only the losers live out vicariously through Xanga the lack of summer thrills?  But maybe, just maybe, Xanga will become their drumming forum for sorting out summer's sensualities...and lighting the night on fire.
