A few of the people on my Livejournal's friends list also have Xanga accounts. Anyway I've got a question for you guys: What are the main differences between the two?
These were my differences:
1. eProps. This could only mean that Xanga bloggers address each other as eHomies.
2. Every time I come across a Xanga journal with animated flower petals cascading down the page, or playing an Usher song, I get a horrific after school special flashback and fall to the ground twitching uncontrollably.
3. Livejournal chicks are way hotter ... Alright, I admit I only wrote that because I'm on Livejournal.
4. There seems to be a lot more crazy, neurotic, seriously screwed-up people on Livejournal. If I encountered any of them on the street, I'd probably turn and run into my car, frantically fumbling with the keys as they growled and slobbered all over the side window. But online, they make for entertaining reads.
5. Funnier people on Livejournal. Why? See above.
6. Prettier pictures on Livejournal. However, while Xanga is lacking in the number of artistic shots of spoons and tree leaves, it more than makes up for it with a significant advantage in the number of photos of drunk Asian chicks at clubs, and let's be honest, who doesn't like those?
7. 2 eProps. What the hell? As if giving a single eProp wasn't gay enough, Xanga gives you the option of being twice as homolicious.
8. When people leave a comment on your Xanga entry, you can't see their userpics. How the hell are you going to able to tell if that person's ugly or foxy? Bloody Communists! Livejournal caters to my shallow curiosity.
9. Livejournal people are more open minded, which makes it so much more convenient for random sexual encounters.
10. Memes! Polls! The two best things about Livejournal. I fricking live for those things! Seriously though, stop doing those, and start posting more photos of drunk Asian chicks at clubs; or I'm switching to Xanga. Though sometimes the quizies are cool. After all, they're short.
