    Oh fine. @LKJSlain

    Your Xanga name and meaning- GreekPhysique, it's a nickname I got around 19? because I was clumsy at basketball, but had one really good game. This one good player teased me with the nickname: it's a good-natured half compliment, half insult. I've always seen it that way myself: it's about having moments of brilliance interspersed with long stretches of ineptitude, but not giving up.

    How long you've been here- Since 2004, my brothers dragged me on here. I somehow stayed.

    Do you have more than one account- Yes. One for more private matters, but it's kind of defunct.

    How many times have you changed your name- 0.

    Name and tag 10 people that keep you here and why, not just bloggers that you like to read/etc, but people who really and truly MEAN something to you (no, it doesn't have to be limited to 10, but let's start there). Tell us what they've done for you, how they've inspired you, how they've been a friend/cheered you up, say something nice about them. 

    This is always a tough exercise, but here goes, in no particular order: I probably forgot plenty of people, this is more based on who is on Xanga a lot right now.

    1.  @fairiesmythsdragons One of my most faithful Xanga buddies, and I love how we have each other's backs.

    2.  @Such_are_you A thoughtful, passionate man, I love his mix of caring for his friends and also being aggressive to defend the truth.

    3.  @lanney She has a huge heart for other people, and she's too hard on herself, just like me. Lanney, I think we squabble at times because we are similar enough that we recognize each other's mistakes, but I appreciate you.

    4.  @QuantumStorm I've worked on growing my guy friendships on Xanga, and Quant is a favorite. I do pick on him at times, but I only do that to people who I respect and care about.

    5.  @galadrielspitcher So so silly, she and her cat Joy always lift my spirits. Thanks for being so lighthearted, Rachel!

    6. @oxlorixo This is what I mean by saying "This list is not in order." The Xangan I text the most, by a wide, wide margin, Lori makes me smile. She doesn't blog enough, ahem. I love how we're able to talk about serious topics, then nerdy topics, then fun and silly topics. I went out of my way to befriend her, and I'm so glad I did.

    7. @endlesslysummer Parmmmmmm. Ha, that's not her name, but I call her that anyway at times. Such thoughtful comments, and I love how she's blossoming as a person. We always have such meaningful chats, the few times we chat.

    8. @lovejennyy I'm too protective at times, a dear friend of mine indeed.

    9. @Spankylicious Love her blogs about crazy NY people and her parents and how she understands Greeks. Always entertaining reading.

    10. @jennz_08 Super funny, and I miss her blogs now that she is in the military. Xanga comes first, Jenn!

    If you ever leave, will you say goodbye first-No, if I'm upset enough to leave, I won't.

    Do you have any xanga crushes- Eh. I try not to. But usually I have a few anyway. I love good writing, so Xanga is a huge trap for me.

    Are there people on xanga that you actively avoid- Yes, that's why they are blocked or I don't visit their site anymore. Usually it's for treating a friend badly or being creepy.

    Do you troll-(if yes) Are you good at it- Every so often, but usually just on my friends to make a point. Quant is particularly a fun target.

    Has the community been there for you in times of trouble/pain- Usually not, but that's because I'm a guy. Society isn't that good at comforting guys in general.
