Whoa
Whoa
Is it me or has it really been nine years today that I signed up on Xanga? Who remains from those early years who still talks to me? I can't think of one. There are those who didn't talk to me then who do talk to me now after having a change of heart. Yay! Changes of heart are good. Having been dumped for many different reasons can leave one feeling like Humpty Dumpty. Well, except for the fact that I've learned to bounce rather than shatter. It would be difficult to make some of the dumpers understand how grateful I am to them for the numerous opportunities they provided my delicate ego. Opportunites that I may not have embraced the first or second time around but opportunities that eventually were taken and applied. Thank you one and all! Yes, I know you couldn't have done anything other than what you did but if that applies to you it must also apply to me. I can't do anything other than be grateful and thank you, even if you're not here to read it. That's not what it's about anyway. It's not for you it's for me.One of the wonderful things about being the center of the universe is that everything gets to be about us. *swoon* What could be better than that? Well, to be fair and honest, depending on how we take that can be the difference between bliss or hell. Having had just about enough hell for one go round I'm learning the bliss method. Amazingly a little bliss goes a lot further than a lot of hell. It seems we can't get our fill of hell while bliss is something like stevia. A little bit goes a long way. We don't have to invent a blissometer to measure our resistance to bliss anymore than we'd have to invent an infernometer to measure our ability to pass through the eight million four hundred thousands levels of hell. No, I didn't make that number up exactly. The number existed before me. It's application in this way is new to me today.As Bob Hope once said, Thanks for the mammeries.

I don't know how long I have been reading your blog, but awhile for sure. I think I am coming up on nine years at the beginning of January. My daughter has been very pissed off at me and told me that I am narcissistic and I mentioned this on a recent blog. Several xanga-neighbors came to my defense certain that I am not narcissistic. This made me laugh. For heavens sake, of course I am narcissistic. I write this blog pretty regularly all about me. The me-ness of me. Me ME-ville town of Me me! I thought it was sweet how all my narcissistic xanga neighbors stuck up for ME. We are all narcissistic to some degree. The bliss of seeing and knowing that helps us get the hell out of our own way...on that rare occasion.
Now, back to you, James. Brilliant blog. Thank you.
I have always thought I was no one. Thanks
Hi from another of your nobodies.
@queenie -
I suspect we're really defending ourselves when we come to the aid of another like that. We're so full of shit it's funny, sometimes. You're welcome.
@alterEGGO -
I haven't but I'm getting there.
@WordFaery -
Well, hi right back at you from no one in particular.
Wow... you got far more levels of hell than Dante had circles!
I've been here almost 9 yrs myself. Crazy, that...
@warweasel -
I've probably known more people who were carving out there on little special corners of hell than did Dante. It's like an office building. Dante named the floors. I've been noticing the cubicles.
@James -
that is so funny, about the cubicles.
@queenie -
Yeah? It's funnier when we put wheels on them and drive them around. *smile* I luv you, C.
everything. :p
I think I'm close to 9 years myself, who'dathunk it?
I had to step away for awhile from Xanga and gather myself - but I will always consider you a XangaLand Friend - I am not sure how many years I am here - I would have to go back and look at my website - at any rate - what a long long trip it's been ... lol ... many years have passed and I have grown and changed and remained the same and accepted myself for who I am...Xanga has always been a pleasant place to visit and read about other's thoughts - as always - I find you as interesting as ever hugs...Sassy
@Sassenach_org -
You've been on Xanga, in your current incarnation, since 12/02/01. I don't know if you were ever anyone before that.
so it has been nine years, oh my it is long and I am still intrigued enough to return...hmmm...especially here...enjoy your day
@Sassenach_org -
Well, eight but who's counting?
@James - lol I never was good in math - God willing it will be nine at the end of the year have a great Monday James...hugs...Sassy
