At times, Xanga displeases me, because it is too small. If I leave a mean comment, people will notice. And if I leave lots of mean comments, nobody will like me. I want to be able to leave a million mean comments and still have nobody notice. If I went somewhere else, I could be mean all I wanted and people wouldn't care because there'd be so many other bloggers, everyone wouldn't realize it.
I don't like how people know each other here, either. It kind of creeps me out. Not so much that people form internet relationships; I'm not into that, but if other people do it, that's cool with me. It's just that people know bloggers they don't even attempt to be friends with. I know a lot about bloggers I don't even read through other people's posts.
Finally, if something dramatastic happens every knows about it and makes it a big deal. This give me the LOLZ because this is the internet. The fact that people actually care about things that happen on the internet gives me a hearty ROFL. People on Xanga seem quite uptight. This is another reason why I cannot leave mean comments. (For the record, I love YouTube because I can leave a million mean comments. OHHH I leave so many pointlessly rude comments over there.)
But all of these things aren't enough to make me leave Xanga, for a few reasons. The first is that I'm lazy. I've been here for more than five years, I think, and so I don't want to get used to a new website. It's just too much effort. Also, every username on the planet's been taken by somebody, somewhere, so it's quite the chore to think of a username that isn't completely stupid.
I made the mistake of selecting a dumb username in HollowHopes. I guess at the time I thought it was poetic, or maybe I was just being emo that day. Whatever happened, I really regret it now. When I made a WordPress account the other night, I felt a strong compulsion to add the word platypus to my username. So my username over there is now PeculiarPlatypus. I realized today that a better route would've been PonderingPlatypus. I guess I just like alliteration.
BUT I DIGRESS. The other reason I stick with Xanga is because I like the font. Oh, it is a glorious font. Dsdfksdflkljk I have difficulty expressing how awesome this font is to me. It's slightly orgasmic. The font at Blogger and WordPress displeases me.
What is your favorite font?

As long as xanga font is giving you orgasms, I see no reason to leave.
@TheTheologiansCafe - You should do a post asking what people's favorite font is. I wonder what fonts give other Xangans orgasms.
How about we just send them here?
FONT ORGASMS.
Hawt.
My favorite font is Bookman Old Style, lol. Random, I know, but it's a great font to type in, and the novel I'm writing has been typed in that for the past like 5 years =D
Xanga fonts make me orgasm a bit, too.
i rather like xanga font as well.
i'm more of a georgia girl, sometimes helvetica, as long as it's BOLD AND CRUNCHED TOGETHER.
...which you can't get with these themes, but i love it all the same.
and i agree. xanga is WAY too small. but if it wasn't small, it would be harder for people to gain "readership," and this is WHOA a big deal.
Times New Roman xD jk..... I think
I'm so odd, I love Comic Sans MS
Arial, but I wouldn't say it gives me orgasms. It's such a straightforward, unfancy font. Easy to read, that's why I like it.
@trunthepaige - I was very into that in middle school, but my preferences have changed. I don't think this font was even invited yet.
@FallenReign - That was one of my past favorites haha.
@TheTheologiansCafe - If it distracts me from packing, it's a good idea.
@trunthepaige - THat is my fave!!!!
I love verdana, personally. Ha
i like helvetica, but it's expensive. georgia is nice. especially the numbers.
nigger font
I'm in love with Lucida Bright. I use it for school, because my teachers require Times New Roman font for all printed documents.. HEHE, I FEEL LIKE SUCH A REBEL.
@SerenaDante - I too went with Bookman Old Style for my first published. It's a nice font, though a bit of a page-eater. I use Times New Roman to write in. Arial I detest: a nasty, clanky, mechanistic piece of crap thet should be restricted to robot people.
Hm. I like Trebuchet MS. I'm using that on my Xanga.
I have a lot of favorites that makes me moan in total hotness and for years, I've been experimenting fonts between Arial, Georgia, Times New Roman, Bookman Old Style and Trebuchet MS.
Anyway, what's this font you're using?
8pt Arial would be my favorite.
I am with you on Xanga being quite small; although, like you, it's not small enough to make me leave.
I also agree that, if it is your intention to comment "anonymously" ( or just along with such a flood of other comments that if FEELS anonymous ), Xanga is not the best place for that.
Tahoma in size 8. haha, i seriously thought i was the only one who had font orgasms.
like, if i go to a xanga site, & i really don't like the font.. as in.. it's ugly.. i can't read the blog. lmao.
bit extreme, i know.. i mean I'LL TRY and read it, but if the font is boring, i just skip it.
LOOOOL. [;
Times New Roman all the way.
Courier and Comics Sans for me.
Arial Narrow, Century Old School, and Times New Roman are my favorite fonts. :D
Times New Roman, bold, italic.
Hahaha! My favorite fonts change every few months, it seems. As long as they're legible, I'm usually good with them!!
