| | i figure things ought to be circular, so here we go.
here's to five and a half years of uninterrupted xanga posts, not the kind of the posts with bare links to sites unaccompanied by a personal backstory or anecdote, but posts that i sat down to compose to capture the feeling of the moment over this half of a decade, from office chairs in dhahran to internet cafes in hong kong to dorms in both pebble beach to berkeley.
here's to the posts about college acceptances, limericks, commentary about design, posts about projects in websites and t-shirts, my threadless phase, my flickr phase, the presidential elections, travels to dubai and spain and italy and the netherlands and places i'm forgetting to name, haikus, a love confession, dream logs, death in the family, a semester withdrawal, social commentary, and everything in between through most of stevenson high school and college at cal. over six hundred entries, and absolutely every single one of them public. and it all started in 2001, when a spammer discovered my personal site hosted at geocities and convinced me to sign up for xanga.
i stuck around here for years beyond the sprouting of attractive alternatives because of the community and my friends, but readership here has long peaked and dwindled. i've explored wordpress, blogspot, and livejournal during the past few years, and while i could put my css skills to better use at the first two, for community reasons, my successor will now be livejournal for good. (ask me for access to friends-only posts.) for the last handful of you who've stuck with me this long, thank you so much for your support and (especially) comments, and i hope to see you on the livejournal side. |
