Things that make me go "GRR.."
1. "Plugged up" People
This new feature is pretty neat, because it can get more traffic to your site. Especially if you are not commonly known here in Xangaland. HOWEVER, some of these plugs people have been putting up make me want to reach in to computer with my super ninja powers and drop-kick someone. Now, let me explain myself. Who wants to click a plug with a picture of a person along with " just plain ole' ordinary me. Nothing special." WHAT kind of advertising is that?! I dont know about you, but I actually enjoy reading my xangan's blogs, I dont have time to click on someone who is as just boring as a the clear eyes guy nor would I want to. Come on people get creative. Isnt that something writers are supposed to be good at? Figuring out a way to draw people in?!
2. Reccomend Beggers
Nothing annoys me more than this. If your blog was good enough to be recommended you would not have to ask people to reccomend it. Talk about the abuse of the freakin button!! My goodness!! I dont mean to step on any of my friends' toes by saying this because I do enjoy most the blogs I read that ask fellow Xangan's for a reccommendation. To be honest, I would probably recommend it anyway. But seriously, it makes you look like an arrogant person who wants nothing more than to **GASP!** make it on the front page!!! Needless to say if I was reading a post and thinking to myself, "wow this is a great piece of work", and at the end of the blog the writer asked for a reccomedation, I WOULDN'T DO IT. ( There are a few exceptions to this I think, i.e. when it is for a charity or good cause of some sort) I dont know why this ercks me so much, but it just does.
3. The "I'm So Awesome" bloggers
I know you know who I am talking about. Those Xangan's that write nothing but sappy stories about their lives that make them look like heroes, or "good" people. You know, it would be different if there were only a few of these stories here and there, because everyone likes to feel warm and gooey inside every once in awhile. But every single post? You have got to be freakin' kidding me. It is so obvious that some, if not all of their stories are BS. I roll my eyes everytime I read these blogs. The co-inka-dink of it all is that most of these bloggers also ask for reccomendations. hmm. WEIRD.
4. Thinspo bloggers
It is SO sexy to look like a skeleton. As a matter of fact it is so hot, that I am going to post naked pictures of aneroxic girls all over my page. I HAVE to be skinny. Must. not. eat. My ribs look great sticking out like this, I don't know what you are talking about. Oh my God I had a cracker today, I am SO fat.--- This is just so sad. It breaks me up inside to see not only the blogs like this but the quantity of blogs like this on Xanga. There are SO many. HELLO look in the FREAKIN mirror. You look emaciated. Eat something. PLEASE. ( yes I know it is a disease and they can't help it)
5. Atheist's
Give it up already. MY GOD. (literally) I just don't understand the point of slamming religious people over and over. WE KNOW you think we came from monkeys, we know that you believe the world just **poof** existed. There is no reason to go to other people's sites and harass them because you hate the world. Seriously. Get over yourselves. Everyone has the right to believe or not to believe.
Welp, that is all I have for today folks! Sorry I was a little overbearing . I guess my mood today is just "annoyed".
What about you, what annoys you on Xanga lately?

lmao, i agree! and lately EVERYTHING on xanga has been annoying me!
loads. I think the 30 new "ish" blog groups are pretty annoying-ish. :)
Agreed. Given any more thoughts to school lately?
Man, I've never seen those #3 bloggers...
#1, #2, and #4 ALWAYS annoy me.
Heyy Holly! It's so amazing to hear from you. I can't add much to the list. I just have a comment about thinspo bloggers. I used to be anorexic which is why I am THIS small. And it's a horrible horrible "disease" to have. I guess I hope there's a way for us to help them snap out of it.
Hugs, Holly. I missed you!
Could you perhaps be referring to someone particular for #3? Because I seem to have thought of someone while reading it.
Anywho, good post!
@TheSecretLifeOfPandas - AGREED!
@theblackspiderman - Oh yeah, I so have to agree. I don't usually see the #3 bloggers. In fact I see a lot of reversed #3 bloggers. Like, I'm so pathetic. Eat me. But you prolly won't, coz I'm such a loser.
the ish blogs for sure annoy the living daylights out of me. And mean people too...
The Thinspo people need to visit NancyBratt's xanga. She is a 35 year old lady that is dying from an ED and blogs about it.
You basically hit on my top pet peeves. I agree 100% with your post.
The number one being people who say they are sooooo amazing (yes i've seen a lot of it!) and then beg for reccomendations. I'm with you. If you ask, I won't do it. I believe a reccomendation is flattering, and if you ask for them, how do you know if people really like your stuff or if they are just doing it because you asked them to?
And I just avoid thinspo xangas all together. Because they make me so angry, but I know that some of them can't help it. What almost hurts to read is the support that they get on their sites. Not the positive kind of support that they need to get better, but the enabling support. The support that says "That's okay, if you don't eat anything tomorrow, your cracker won't matter!" It truly makes me sad.
lol i know exactly who #3 is. and everyone else does too. haha.
I agree with 1 and 2, I don't really know anyone who is 3, but on number 4 I'm wondering if you are familiar with body dismorphia? It's like when you look in the mirror, you don't see what's actually there. Most (if not all) anorexics probably have some type of this...so their ribs might stick out, but they don't see ribs, they see fat rolls. It is very sad.
Ohhh I just saw number 5. 100% agree. I get so frustrated with that!
And can I add # 6? People who do the timestamp update multiple times per day, even if they haven't updated or edited their post in any way.
Great rant! There are a lot of creepy plugs there, too. They can really make my skin crawl. And I've only ever clicked on one plug that I was happy about having done. Oooh...I hope I don't come across as a #3...I do bitch and moan on occasion, hehe. Well put on #4 & #5.
hahaha...very funny! I would say the constant update of datingish and mamaroo!
I get super annoyed with people who beg for recommends. The other day, one person that subscribes to me sent out a mass message to their friends and subscribers to recommend a specific one of their posts. It's just kind of tacky to me.
I am with you on the rec. beggers. That's for sure!
AMEN to this! =]
hahaha SO agreed.
how about the blogger who writes 20 posts in one day. that gets annoying too.
Hmmmm...I dunno...Xanga in general?
Thank you for your comment
And I can agree that recommended beggers are annoying, even though I haven't really seen any!
i am a thinspo hehe.
hey, stop talking about me, like that.
what about the over-recommenders, who rec EVERYTHING... eh.
