xangapoly
it’s my new word. and i checked. i googled it and everything. no one else has used this word. and so it is mine.
doesn’t really mean much, in fact, nothing at all. but with all the xanga-fever that has been going around, it was inevitable that i would catch a little of it.
so many featured posts keep talking about xangalebrities, the xangapedia, xangamon, and well, attention whores. but you gotta love a good attention whore, merely for the purposes of entertainment. they exist for a reason.
so, now that i have invented the word–which by the way, is monopoly, only with xanga in the beginning–i guess that would mean it’s time for me to invent the game to go along with it. but honestly, i don’t have that much creative energy. basically what i’m saying is that i’m waaaayy to lazy to do that.
i find it hard to write an honest post these days. i feel like i have to write the right things but i have no idea what that would be. the funny thing is, the only person judging here is me. i always feel like the things i accomplish in life are never good enough — but the truth is, i never think i’ve done well enough. why do i want so much more of myself than i am giving? does that even make sense?
maybe my problem stems from the fact that i don’t feel productive even when i’m getting shit done.
aw, fuck it. i’m a neurotic, self-indulgent, whiny, pain-in-the-ass who needs to stop sitting around crying about the lack of perfection and actually just do some good in this world.
i’m pretty sure that won’t include sitting on xanga until 2 in the morning. damn.
oh and, i think i’ll go create a couple clone accounts to give me like 2.6 stars. because, i don’t think that highly of myself. duh. and that’s about all this post is worth anyway.

I gave you four stars, because if I had given you five you probably would have thought it was a “pity starring”. Oh, for some pity stars…
So, I thought when I saw the title, that you were going to rant about how some people monopolize all the traffic on xanga. Which could be an interesting, if controversial topic.
We never live up to the standards we place on ourselves. The only thing is to keep writing and working, and then look back to see how far we’ve come.

if only i had thought of that! monopolizing all the traffic on xanga is way better than just a xanga board game! oh well. thanks for the stars.

no, i don’t know you personally but somehow i came across your xanga page. probably through the welcome wagon feature. thanks for visiting and leaving comments!
Dear LesleyAnne,
I’ve never heard of “pitystarring”. That’s a neat one. I gave you five stars,because I never give anyone less than five stars! That’s just the way I am.
Neat word, xangapoly. At least it isn’t xangalopoly. That one has too many “L’s”. Xangapoly can now be your “monopoly” on a Xanga word! In fact, if you don’t mind, I’ll list it in the 2nd edition of my “Xangapedia”. Please come back and leave it in a comment on my entry though (which was still in the top five last time I checked.) or else I might forget. I got lots of comments on that entry and I’m going through each one now and commenting back, but in a week or two, I am going to create another entry, and credit those who came up with the words I use. I sort of made up most of the words on my post. (except for six of them)
I’m sure you’re not a “neurotic, self-indulgent, whiny, pain-in-the-ass” type person at all.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, and don’t stay on Xanga till 2 in the morning. You need your beauty sleep!
Oh, I almost forgot to thank you for dropping by my site and leaving a comment on the xangapedia, which, as I mentioned in the introduction, was a blatant attempt to get on the front page and get hundreds of comments.
It worked. Mention “Xanga” enough and the Xangagods do listen. (And it helps to have Dan (the theologian’s cafe) as a friend, cause when he recommends a post, it usually gets noticed.)
Thanks again,
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
thanks lol.. just a new name =)
This is the level of honesty that kicks the most ass.
“Clusterfuck” is a better word. LOL
Xangapoly….I’d play it. You could have little metal eprops as tokens….and build hotels on TheTheologiansCafe or Drakonskyr or Amandasbiggestfan. or something.
I will use your new word in a sentence that I feel accurately reflect the definition I pictured when you mentioned the word.
“That guy from TheTheologiansCafe thinks he has the right to run some kind of
xangapoly – and take over the Xanga home page all the time as well as try to get everyone onto his site.” haha… just kidding.
BTW: You should submit your word to the Xangapedia too!
