  • Xanga Pimpin'

    So... I think I'm going to become one of THOSE people and try to earn 100,000 credits.  I'm too cheap to spend $100 on an otherwise free website, but "earning" a lifetime premium membership to Xanga seems like a fun idea... at least for now.  So I won't be sending out any more cute minis for a while.  I've been generous with them in the past so I only have about 1000 credits now.  Now to do that a hundred more times

    Content to follow later... maybe tomorrow.

    In the meantime.... Next on my Reading List (in no particular order)
    1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
    2. Fight Club by Chuck P.
    3. The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh (for school)
    4. Moral Disorders by Margaret Atwood
    5. Ethan Frome
    I also need to convince my hubby to start young Paolini's Eragon

    ** edit - P.S.  Getting credits for doing surveys is sweet!

    I filled out a survey and I'm not going to ever save 100K credits.

    remember to pick up 'outlander' when you're here.  it should be in the cave, big case, bottom shelf, front...damn, i'm good!

    My goodness you have a lot of credits to go. Keep saving!

    Did you get your haircut?

    I love your picture btw. I assume teh wee lass is you? That little girl is just so lovely going nuts, dancing, making adamant points or something. So cute.

    ryclastweek: Not sure why you would have pitied me or say that you won't pity me, but that's good all around. lol You can worry or feel however you like; as ong as you are sane and as the person that I have seen you to be interacting around the Xanga then it's awesome.

    I don't know if this is at all a breakthrough or even if things are getting better--it seems like they are getting worse but maybe that's part of healing--but certainly good things are happening in therapy.

    I saw the movie Equus. Probably won't watch it for awhile just because it's too intense--from what I remember Burton's character is a bit of a sad sack boozer rusting idealist with failed marriage who is able to be part of this tremendous healing nexus with an immensely brilliant and fucked up lad. I can probably relate a wee bit to Burton (but maybe only because I want to because he's Burton and even as a fuckup he's awesome) and somewhat more to the mad lad at least in terms of shame, judgement and religion how that will destroy a person. (The other bits, 'jingle jangle of his bridle' and other madness not so much.) Incredible movie. I wonder if the reading the play is worth it (I tend to dislike reading plays (silently, alone).

    Peace

    My favorite Chuck Palaniuk book is Survivor... great book!  Fight Club is great too though... and a little bit more readable maybe.  Good reading list you got there though...  I'm stupid and trying to read about a dozen books at once right now.  Uhhh... 

    100,000?  Hmmm...  that seems like a lot.  lol  Go Emily Go!

    It's about time they make the credits good for something aside from minis. I don't even like the minis all that much. Most of the time I can't really find one that properly expresses how I feel. I think they should make it so you can use the credits to purcahse books, music, or movies. I had to read Ethan Frome in college and I have to say, I really didn't like it, even as short as it was, but historical novels are really not my thing. I like Atwood though (Oyryx and Crake and Handmaid's Tale are great), and Fight Club is excellent.
  • oceanstarr
    Is Fight Club related to the movie or a separate work?
  • douglasg610
    Whoa...those credits MEAN something?!
