Xanga Outage Yesterday: Happy GreekGiving!
I'm not going to lie, I was very concerned yesterday about the Xanga outage. I went a little out of control on my Twitter. My heart was filled with fear and pain. Do you realize how dangerous that was? Do you realize how many surface relationships could have been severed? What if it had been permanent?
You may have been deprived of me for all time!!!Imagine a world without my posts--no wit and wisdom to amuse you while you're waiting for something more interesting to do! No thoughts recycled from better authors and speakers! Imagine, no more hurried one-line comments to comfort you when you write a depressed post! No more cheesy minis selected by my Greek fingers! Think of the time I lavish on you mortals! No more instant messages and phone calls for those of you in my fan club! (Susan, you haven't paid your $5.99 this month. No more IM's for you!) CAN YOU BEAR THE THOUGHT OF NO MORE GREEK IN YOUR LIFE? The very thought gives me chills of confusion and searing-hot penultimate pain of persecution, at the same time.
But thankfully, there is a way for you to show your gratitude still. Xanga remains open for another day for you to lavish me with respect and honor. Empty your pocketbooks! Upload your best photos and posts! Yesterday may have been American Thanksgiving. But today is the day to give thanks for Greek. Give thanks for me now, my readers! I accept Visa AND American Express. Post your odes and orisons today, or, if they are a bit too personal for public perusal, knowwhatImeanwinkwinknodnod, send them to gmail . Let your appreciation and worship be known while there is still time! Grovel at my feet! I await your respectful tokens of obeisance.
(Thanks to vanedave and curtainsopen posts for the inspiration).

Kind of scared me yesterday too, but I'm glad I know where to find you if things do go wrong!
Not if you don't bring back the Skittles picture.
You know you want to.
Dear Greek,
I only got upset that if anyone visiting my main website clicked the link to my blog, it didn't work.No, really, I only got upset because my "featured" entry couldn't be seen for over three hours.No, really, I only got upset....Thank you for the recommend on my 2nd edition "Xangapedia" entry.Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
lol nice
although i will admit, i got a little worried myself! i thought maybe they had shut down xanga while we were all distracted by family!
Hahahaha. You are too much. Thanks for being a gem!
*Pukes*
You know I kid.
Greek gone wild!! Too bad Xanga was down - no Xanga TV for that. You should record the next break down and post it at a later time.
So it wasn't my internet! Nice!
I was so scared! D:
Wow. I spend all of Turkey Day with the fam, and look what happens - XANGA SHUT DOWN?
Amazing, what I miss... (Greek, I'm sure they weren't just missing you. They were missing you AND me. I mean, come on... with our respective literary skills, who could bear *not* to read either of us?) Glad to know your Greek ego is alive and well... :snicker: (Happy belated Turkey Day and Happy Black Friday! Spread the cheer!)
ee, it was a scary night!
haha im broke, no fan club for me >.<
Hahaha! This post made me laugh. So it gets two thumbs up. But in the spirit of being rebellious just for the heck of it, I am giving you 0 eprops.
Yeah it was pretty awful. I was getting withdrawal symptoms. Pacing, high-pitched exclamations, futile refreshing, etc.
i don't see the connection, but i'm gald to help.
Ha ha! Love it! That is too funny!=) I was wondering why xanga wouldn't let me on/couldn't view it yesterday evening- apparently it was xanga everywhere as I've learned from your post;)
oh no's!!!!!!! what WOULD we do without you?!?!?
but really, I'm glad your still around =]
@gracebeyondmeasure - I am MORE glad you're around
It's been a year! Thanks for dropping by, hope to hear more from you soon.
@GreekPhysique - has it REALLY been a whole year?!?!?!
yeah I guess it has. Wow, toooooo long!
Ha! This is great!
You make me snort laugh! Glad Xanga survived! I was AWOL and missed all the excitement! I hope inspite of all this, you still had a good Thanksgiving! 
hahahaha!
