Your Friend and Your Xanga
It is interesting to me how many people on xanga are upset when friends from real life find their xanga site. Some people avoid linking their xanga site to facebook.
Do you care if your real life friends read your xanga site?

YES. Xanga is my place...I have Xanga friends on Facebook, but my IRL friends on Facebook are not allowed on my Xanga. I would feel I have to censor if I were to have IRL people here....
Yeah, I'd prefer they not...
A friend of mine used to get updates in her email and came and hassled me over a difference of opinion... lol.
yes.
lol some of mine are on xanga :P
yes. xanga is a condensation of my private life and emotions. i would prefer to keep my social/professional life separate.
No. I am me wherever I am. Take it or leave it.
Um I dont care ... I've told them they could go on my xanga... Truth is when you openly tell them to go read your stuff they won't haha
Nope.
This is a big fear of mine. Xanga is my outlet, my diary....I would definitely not want someone that I know IRL reading my xanga.
I sorta worry about my doctor finding my Xanga stuff cause I know he closes the door and it's all hush-hush what we talk about, and then I go write it all up in my blog anyways.
And - maybe that's not the whole purpose of PRIVATE practice.

But as far as the rest of my friends and family, no I don't mind.
For the most part, yes.
Yes... I feel I can be fully myself here. I dont have to fit into some box if I dont want to, nor have people bug me about stuff. I can just block them if they do, ha ha.. cant do that as easily with family or people from church. But it really wasn't until I became a youth minister that I saw the benefit and perhaps necessity of having a place where I had some anonymity. When you are someone like a preacher or minister, there are a lot of expectation on you, some ok, but a lot are not... it is nice to have a place where I dont feel that weight nor worry something I said will be taken way out of proportion and bite me in the butt in real life, especially when applying for jobs and stuff can be found online.
For most people, Xanga is a place to bitch about those friends.
When I first got on xanga I wanted them to,I begged them too.I linked it to my Facebook when I got Facebook then came the crap from my family talking to people I didn't even know and me being shy pretty much in real life that didn't get it.I posted stuff mostly about my faith on my first xanga then as I met people and get to know them I loosened up and started being goofy like I can be in real life only here I could be goofy and not get looks like I need to grow up,it was fun here.I have come and gone from xanga over and over and its beeen mostly due to how certain family take me being on here.I finally settled on Goofy fishing for my profile pic because it describes me best.I'm goofy and I love to fish.I will still talk about my faith and I get too frustrated talking about politics here so I mostly keeep it to kidding around and trying to geta laugh out of people now....SURELY I can't get into trouble doing that?
What real life friends?
i don't do fb and i don't think my rl friends do either although i've never asked any of them. some might. i don't know.
yes. back in the day, i came here because my friends were here. now they're all gone and i'm left and I don't tell anyone new about it.
I'd really rather not. I feel like I have to exude a certain image to most / all of my real-life friends whenever I can, and if they were allowed to peek inside the world that is my xanga, all of that would be for naught.
I blog anonymously. None of my real life friends know about this.
Xanga is my place and if you have a problem with it, you'll just have to get over it. I blog, and I don't blog in a way that is meant to be personal. I blog because I want to reach people. I prefer not to discuss it in person, because thats what comments are for, but people will just have to get over it.
Hmmm... I don't think I'd really like it.
Not really. I am more worried about my family finding out about it. But then again, half the stuff I say about them on here is stuff that should be talked about.
Most of my friends know I still use this. But they dont care.
