everything changes.... all at once
So, the last bastion of continuity from Japan-to Florida- to North Carolina is changing and leaving!?! Why should I be surprised when everything else is in a constant upheaval? I'm talking about Xanga, of course. They have 15 days to raise $30K to keep the site up. I am bracing for the worst.
Gosh... all my memories on here. So, I'll wait it out until July 15 when we see what happens, but I really, really, really want to make a planned exit strategy (see... we did learn something from our failed military tactics, eh?)
I will move somewhere and I KNOW you are thinking, "but justgotspaid, you hardly ever blog any more" and to that I say, "just wait until I have a desk in my new apartment!! ha HA!" I feel not-so-depressive lately. I actually got on here today to write about the great work day I had yesterday to Grand Cayman where the other flight attendants were really cool and I got a giant bottle of Kahlua for only $12. I'm hoping for more "island turns" as they are called.
So, I want to take you with me: @saferia @rveblade @sakatamon @atypicalindividual @beryberygood @coolnahalf
I know it sounds cheesy, but I don't want to loose my xanga besties. And other people who check this sometimes (Eleanor and Mallory)
***Can we all migrate to the same place**** Can we, can we?? Rveblade? Saferia? Are you there?
WHERE DO WE GO??
I would like a blog place that
1) you can subscribe to and get emails on (with actual reliability) when someone posts
2) easy to upload photos
3) a decent mobile app
@atypicalindividual already jumped ship and went to Blogger. I see that has an app and you can post photos, but it is run by google, who knows all my private shit as it is. Translation, if I don't want you to find my blog, I don't want you to be able to find it by googling my name. THAT IS THE LAST F$*& THING I WANT. Also, how do you subscribe to people on blogger? Get updates? I need to get updates or else I will never check blogs, it sucks, but that is kind of how I am.
HELP!!!!

Oh yes! Ive been thinking about this too! I don't want to lose all my Xanga memories! I have a readership of 1.5! But Ido come online to vent from time to time. How about Blogspot?
Who else is game?
Eek! 15 days to store all of my memories.
Hey, I checked out tumblr and bebo and they both were not really what I was looking for. OMG, the hours I've just spent obsessing over this is a little crazy. I set up a new blog:http://justgotspaid.blogspot.com/
I have trepidations about using this as it is connected to my very real and very real name google account.... check it out and see what you think. Sharing photos is easy, there IS an app and it looks like you can add others to your reading list.... so kind of like the xanga feed.
I recommend migrating to blogger but lock it down.You definitely have that option. Give yourself a few hours in the settings. Unsure if there are email options, but there's definitely RSS options, which I find more useful.
I haven't decided. Maybe blogger or wordpress. Have you DLed you posts from Xanga? Make sure to do so.
I don't think I will blog anymore as I don't have much time or stuff to blog about!!
But I want to download all my stuff from here! Gotta work out how first....
And I want to keep reading about your adventures....even if i don't get on here very much at all these days!
