  • Accepted!

    Have you ever tried really hard to get into a group of people, but for some reason, it just didn’t happen? You know you were just as good, if not better than some of the people in that group, but no matter what you did, you just weren’t noticed?
    Then suddenly, out of the blue, you’re recognized. Someone sends you the infamous letter, gives you the secret code, shows you the unmistakable signal, acts out the indescribable handshake, or whatever it is that lets you know you’ve made it.
    Finally, after all your hard work, you’ve been accepted!

    Yeah, that happened to me.

    I have been trying so hard here on Xanga to get recognized. I know, I know, it’s not about numbers and all that. But c’mon, who doesn’t want to belong to that prestigious group of Xangans to which TheTheologiansCafe, MyxlDove, TheBigShowAtUD, AlterEgo909, one_eared_batman, Simbathe2nd, My_HAT_is_older_than_you, and many, many more belong? But for some reason, I just wasn’t up to par.

    Until now.

    I’m not really sure what caused it. Why did it take so long? I’ve anxiously waited for my inbox to tell me I had finally arrived. But alas! my inbox would not yield the message. And so I remained desolate, undiscovered, and downhearted.

    You must know by now what I’m talking about. No, no, not the petty thing of getting featured, nor the esteemed rank of Top Blogs. Nay, not even a rec’ from Dan The Theologian.

    No, when I logged on today, I didn’t receive any of the afore mentioned honors; instead, my feedback log told me I had finally been counted worthy to obtain…

    The stalker message.

    Yes, I know what you’re thinking. “But how? How is it that the Xangan powers that be have graced you of all people with such a blessing?”
    I know, I know. I, too, had my doubts. So I clicked on the (1) next to the message inbox button. This is what my unbelieving eyes read:

    “My name`s Donna !!
    I really feel shy, but I`ve 2 say u, that you`r just so coool )… It was a wonder to detect ur page but nowadays I am sure it`s a fate))
    U are superman… but I know for sure that in your real life u`l impress me more and more:again and again!! ;)
    that`s incredible… but I`m from too!
    So… I`d like 2 become acquainted with u, Like_A_Tigah!
    This site does not accept all my images… :(
    so the most revealing photos I uploaded here: http://pieceoftrash/stupidnonexistingsite.org
    Like_A_Tigah, I think you`ll like them and will send me smth to start our challenge ))!!
    love you honey ))!!”

    Go ahead. Read it again. It’s really true. I have finally advanced to the next level of Xangadom.
    I can finally feel like I belong!

    Thank you, Donna. Thank you for seeing the “superman” in me. For believing that I am “just so coool.”
    Thank you, Fate, for detecting my page. Thank you for knowing that in real life, I could impress someone more and more: again and again, and that that fact is incredible.

    Thank you, my Xangan friends, for putting up with me!

    Have a good weekend!
