Where To Go?
So it turns out Xanga might go away. Although I’m disappointed, I’m probably not as upset as I thought I would be. For me the most important thing is all of my previous posts. I like to go back and read them from time to time. It is a record of my life for the past nine years. But, that being said, I don’t know if I will miss it all that much if it goes bye bye. Oh sure, there would be a void that I need to fill but honestly, it won’t be as much of a void as it once would have been. I used to blog more. But as I get older and busier with life, I find myself having less and less time to not only post, but also to comment on other people’s posts. And for the most part, I don’t have a lot of people who read me anyway.
But it leaves me with some uncertainty as to what to do if it does shut down. I like blogging. I like keeping a record of my life. I’ve thought about tumblr as that seems to be where most of the world is now. I’ve also been toying around with the idea of starting a twitter account for quite some time now, but that is not long form blogging but of course, rather just short sentences. And there is the option of not going anywhere and just stop blogging altogether. Hell, it probably has run it course anyway.
But I guess I should at least make a decision at some point.

Xanga is allowing us to download all of our blog archives for free because of what’s happening. I definitely would love to keep in touch with you so I hope you find somewhere you like!
I feel kind of the same way. I hate that it might go away, and I will try to keep in touch with some people, probably via WordPress, it won’t ruin my life. I’ll go back to playing games on Pogo and reading and writing. It will be kind of boring–Hubby and I agree on most of the hot button issues that cause the big “discussions” around here, so I won’t have anyone to argue with. That might be a good thing.
