I loathe, more than anything, shitty Xanga entries. By shitty I mean entries that are boring, badly written, and with no punctuation or proper grammar.

Sheer Banality:

He’s from Hawaii, and he has a criminal record. He also doesn’t know how to use commas or periods. No sympathy here…it’s bad writing no matter what your background is.

I also despise the “This is me…if you don’t like it, then SCREW YOU” catch phrases people have for their little Xanga descriptions. Yes, nothing more foreboding than someone who gets angry at you for not enjoying the mundane rituals of their daily life. “BACK OFF IF YOU DON’T LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM!” they say, while the rest of us can only sit and think, “No kidding. We’re not going to read this shit because you’re boring.”

What’s up with the song lyrics? Do they have some sort of significance to you? Let’s all be reminded that XANGA IS NOT A RADIO! Perhaps a song has some sort of meaning to the person at the time, a sort of heartfelt message that can only be articulated through the lyrics of a song. You know what that says?

IT MEANS YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING ORIGINAL!

And one more gripe: the AIM conversations are a huge turn-off. No one gives a crap about what you said to your friend about that person with the smelly feet. (1) we don’t know the context of your conversation, and (2) it’s not funny. Posting AIM conversations is no way to garner eprops. What am I going to commend you for? Your “witty” AIM screenname, or your friend’s wonderful use of happy faces? Please…if you want to remember your AIM conversations, just use a log manager.
