My First Xangaversary
Today is my Xangaversary – I have been a blogger for a year now~
I am working on two posts, but I haven’t completed either one. The first is about lead poisoning linked to violence and Thomas Midgely, the inventor of leaded fuel and responsible for more deaths than any single person in history, the other is about the end of the Industrial Age and what the new era of human productivity is… Then I realized this – I am BORING!
I may just drink beer and play Small World with Corey tonight to celebrate.
Hope you all have a terrific weekend, it’s been a great year!

@aSeriesofFortunateEvents - Thank you!
I’d like to read those posts, if you get around to them.
@distractedbyzombies - Ah, thanks! I will post them for sure. Boring or not, *I* like to write about things like that
I am glad you are as boring as I am!
I’d like to read them also, but if I had my druthers I’d drink beer too….Happy Xangaversary!
@BoulderChristina - hahahaha! Here’s to boring!
Happy Xangaversary!!! Personally, I would love to read BOTH of the posts you were talking about! Maybe we are both boring
Well have a happy happy joy joy day for sure

Seems like you’ve been on here much longer than that!
Boring? Well, at least I’m in good company, then, cuz I enjoy reading stuff like that. Especially the first one!
happy xanganiversary

this is my 8th year now. i’ve been here since i was a teen

Happy xangaversary!! This is awesome and you aren’t boring! Far from it! :0) I’m a lazy blogger! We’re perfect together! :0)
Go with option two. And maybe, just maybe there may be photos!!!
Congrats for being here a year. And you’re never boring.
I thought you have been here more than that. Happy Xangaversary to you
You’re not boring! *holds back yawn* I KEED, I KEED!!!
congratulations. Have you blogged about kittens yet, or losing fifteen pounds? You are NOT boring.
Here’s an idea. You wrote that this is the most nonviolent time in history. Okay. I read that lead poisoning is responsible for impulsive behavior leading to violence. There is a correlation between delinquency and lead. Research that.
@we_deny_everything -
I’m on it, it’s almost done. I may be ready to post it tonight. By the way, I have gained 15 pounds and am considering buying a kitten. In other news, my dog is going to post this weekend.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength -Hehe
@angys_coco - It feels like forever, doesn’t it?
@Zoz36 - Thanks, sweetie. Now that I read the comments, I see that maybe I overplayed the boring thing.. I just meant my topics tend to make my husband roll his eyes and ask me “Why? Why do you give a shit about blank??”
@karoline1982 - You and I are the perfect pair!
Happy [dammit I'm not using that word]! You’re not boring to those of us who don’t look out from behind your eyes and so are not accustomed to doing so. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t drink beer and play games.
I take a strange comfort in the knowledge that the military-industrial complex is collapsing. I’m chronologically unfortunate for this one, but in looking around today it seems that life is saner in the current remnants of collapsed former western empires than it is in our crumbling monolith. Maybe my grandkids will get to catch a cool new groove before their times are up. I’d rather that than have them cursing us for our collective malfeasance. A mixed bag seems most likely…
I’m looking forward to knowing your thoughts!
@bonmots - Wow! Now that’s dedication!
@grim_truth - I am in good company! Thanks
It feels like I have been here forever. I just fit here.
@xplorrn - Now i have to wait until I get home to watch it, but it sounds interesting…
@things_with_wings_07 -Thank you! It’s been a great year!
@ShimmerBodyCream -I am not going anywhere, thanks
@PinkGlitter02 -
Thanks!
@SisterMae - I feel like dancing a jig!
@forever_musing -Maybe boring is the new cool? Maybe the correct term is hipster?
@HappierHeathen - I don’t think we have to wait for our grandkids to benefit from the changing age… If I understand you well enough, you have already evolved into the new working age, at least a little bit. I am reading an awesome book, I will fill you all in about it.
i’m glad you give a shit about blank. happy xangaversary. can’t wait to read your stuff.
@HappierHeathen -And I double dog dare you to use Xangaversary on your own blog. Do it. Do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra70O9nps6E
@promisesunshine - You’re so sweet
I give a shit about a lot of blanks!
Happy anniversary!
@atticusfin -Thank you
Drinking beer is a great way to celebrate your Xangaversary. I like to celebrate with shots of jager myself, but beer is a great second choice. I’d like to read both of those proposed posts as well. Maybe we’re all equally boring on here, lol.
wow! it has been a year already?? my how time flies!!
happy xangaversary!!!
@buddy71 -Thank you! You were one of my very first friends, you and WDE!
@RaymondGW - I am afraid it would be a short celebration if I moved into the harder stuff! I think this is where all the cool “boring” kids hang out, it’s a pleasure to meet you!
happy xangaversary
Shucks, and I thought you were a more experienced woman….
@RakkaRay - Why sir, you are making me blush.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Thank you
@BoulderChristina - Maybe I’m assuming a different societal trajectory than the one you’re assuming.
I don’t even know when that dubious event might occur. There’s the anniversary of the creation date of the account I’m using now, but I had another (two) before this one. The first was from… oh, gosh, it must have been 2003. Precisely which date it was, though, only the Xanga database knows for sure.
yay! you’re not boring, Christina. not in the least. what you write about is very interesting, and when it’s an investigative, informative kind of post, I file the information away for future use. : )
happy Xangaversary!
Happy Xangaversary! Whatever you do, enjoy the day!
Congratulations on a successful year here in Xangaland.
Happy Xangaversarry!!
ENJOY!!
Rumor~ Van Gogh often held paint brushes in his mouth (may have ingested the lead over time which may have lead to the cutting of the ear incident and mental breakdown)… might be interesting to read your posting when completed.. happy anniversary! ^..^
@SheTigerCat - Ha! I just finished it, but I did see that. There was just too much information to put into a single post. Thanks for the add, pleasure to meet you!
Happy Xangaversary!
Just reading and enjoying some of your older posts… TY…^..^
@EmilyandAtticus - Thank you!
@akarui_mitsukai - Thank you!
@armnatmom - Thank you
@TheSutraDude - Thank you
I have so far!
@plantinthewindow - Thanks, John! I hope you are doing better tonight.
Congratulations on your anniversary. You have certainly made a good name for yourself here with your amazing posts and loving words.
@ZSA_MD - Thank you, Zakiah! I’ve really enjoyed Xanga and all the people I have met.
Happy xangaversary!!!!
@TheTheologiansCafe - Thanks
There is nothing boring about ANY of your posts. I may not comment on all of them, but they do get read when I get my digest on the phone. These days I’m making up for lost time in the great outdoors as much as possible. So I’m not in the hallways quite as much. LOL…
Your blog is at the top of my list for reading and I do enjoy them very much. SO glad you decided to join us in these hallways. Wouldn’t be the same without you.
Wow you’ve only been here a year? It feels like longer, and I mean that in the good, nice way. Congrats on the anniversary.
