PSST. Indy Car and Nascar aren’t sports. Neither is wrestling, a la WWE. Boxing, yes. WWE, no.

Dear Xanga,

I am writing this letter to tell you that I love you. But I’m not in love with you.

Sincerely,
LesleyAnne.

P.S. If you could limit the number of posts each Xangan had on the Most Recent/Discussed/Starred page under the Weblogs tab to maybe 2 or 3, that would be great. I’m tired of seeing the same people clogging up that space.

I’ve been thinking about this question all night and now, this morning. There are a lot of answers to this question and some seem well meaning enough but are so characteristically naive. I’m glad there are people who take marriage seriously and I do realize that in the Bible it does say that the Lord God hates divorce. Of course there are the OBVIOUS reasons why I do hope someone would divorce their spouse. For instance, in the cases of abuse and adultery. But those aren’t the only reasons why you should get divorced. What if your spouse like to torture small animals? How about if your spouse gets the hots for 14 year old girls?

I don’t think that happens very often and well, I was using those as over-the-top examples on purpose. No one is perfect. I’ve heard people say that if you “fall out of love” with your spouse, why the heck did you get married in the first place? Sometimes, people get married for the wrong reasons. I don’t think that every issue can be worked out just so you can stay married. I think that people are willing to stay in marriages just so they don’t get branded ‘DIVORCED’. That’s just as stupid as actually getting divorced because you want a younger, better looking spouse.

I’m married. It’s been almost two years now, so I am by no means an expert on marriage. But, I don’t parade myself around as one either. I will tell you this, when it comes to marriage, if both parties aren’t willing to give 100% of themselves to their spouse, there is no way to “save” the relationship. However well meaning your spouse may be, if he cannot give all that he has to you then what kind of marriage do you have anyway?

Okay, Xangan Idol is officially over. At least, Season 1 is. And, Life_By_Us is the winner! Congrats to Amanda for your lifetime premium subscription! I hope you realize that this does put added pressure on you to make sure that your posts are nothing less than superb! But don’t worry, I know you can do it.

So, to the winner go the spoils… And to the rest of us, onward and upward!!

Okay, so quite a bit has happened in the last couple of days. We’ve all been consumed by ABF and XI (quite rightly so, I might add) but now it’s time to return to regularly scheduled programming.

Well, first off. As of 11:30 EDT on April 25th I earned my 100,000 xanga credit. It was no easy feat and I celebrated by indulging in a lifetime subscription of my own. I now have a custom module to play around with and fill with all sorts of interesting things. If only I knew what…

Second. My daughter sat on the potty tonight for a whole ten minutes! She’s 22 months, so it’s okay. In fact, it’s more than okay, it’s teh awesome. This whole potty-training thing is going to take a whole lot of patience.

Third. I have a phone interview tomorrow so I can return to work with American Express. I worked there while I was pregnant with my daughter and decided to quit so I could stay home with her. Now that’s she’s two, she doesn’t need me like she used to and could benefit from the company of other two year olds.

Fourth. My husband and I will be leaving the GTA for Phoenix in a week. It’s scary and exciting all at the same time.

Fifth. My daughter said “goodnight” for the first time this evening. It was shortly followed by an “I love you.” She’s probably the best kid around. In my so very biased opinion.

Sixth. My favorite red wine is the Trius Red. I don’t know why I stuck that in, but I’m sure you wanted to know.

So, all in all, it’s been pretty eventful around here. If you have any suggestions for me as what to put in my nifty new custom module, let me know! But for now, Seacrest OUT!

My worst fashion crime of all? Not voting for life_by_us to be the Xangan Idol.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Yes, that’s right.  I’m still talking about Xangan Idol.  Because it’s really cool.  This is probably the most important election you’ll vote in until well, November.  but probably all of you won’t vote then, so vote now!!

life_by_us needs your vote!! she’s funny, she’s intelligent, she’s got babies, and her husband is currently serving over seas.  need more reasons to vote for her?  just look how cute she is…

still not convinced?  okay, head on over to life_by_us and read any one of her awesome blogs.

Remember to cast your vote here!! and give a big thanks to ABF for hosting this wonderful event.

if you have never listened to me before, this would be the perfect opportunity to say, “well, there’s a first time for everything.”

Please, please, please, and pretty please go over to ABF’s Xangan Idol Contestand cast a vote for life_by_us!

YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY IF YOU DO!!

oh, and this is what i say to those of you who don’t support life_by_us

yeah, that’s me from about 4 years ago. pre-baby and pre-broke. hence, the blonde hair. that’s my sister next to me.

What the hell kind of question is this and why, oh why was it featured?? Oh, that’s right. Xanga sold out a long time ago. This question is actually sponsored by the Law Offices of Jim Sokolove. What a cheap ploy.

I just lost IQ points simply by reading this Featured Question, you can become dumber by the minute too!

okay, well, i’ve wasted at least three hours now on here playing around and really accomplishing nothing so i’m giving up for tonight.

the bad news, i’ve wasted way too many hours playing welcome wagon. my latest phrase that i have been ‘command + v’ – ing all over the place is “spreading the joy of xanga, one comment at a time.” you know, i’ve found that some people are genuinely confused and upset when i leave a comment. like, “how do you know me and how did you find my site?” uh, sorry, you posted in a public forum.

anyway,

the good news, I AM NOW UP TO 95,355 xanga credits. so close, yet so far away.

goodnight all. and please, please, please, whatever you do, do not leave me ridiculous amounts of comments.

i wasn’t too interested in this contest at first, but now i’ve really gotten into the spirit of things. that being said, after reading the entries on “the quiz of doom” i have decided to support a candidate.

please go over to life_by_us and star, recommend, and comment the crap out of her entry. she deserves to be the xangan idol because she’s got the greatest sense of humor. and, us mothers have to stick together. and by mother, i do literally mean mother. it’s not a euphemism.

and of course, it couldn’t hurt to go over to the judges sites and make your endorsements. the wonderful judges are Mystic_Xingjing, drugInducedDuck, and theblackspiderman.

so get out there and do like p. diddy. rock the vote.
