    Let’s get the networks working over time for the prettiest Xangan I know :D

    PLNDR Model Contest

    PLNDR Model Contest

    She also happens to be a real sweetheart too, so I hope everyone will help out and give her the best chance possible.

    So here’s the deal:

    On Facebook there is a modeling competition hosted by some site or other that Victoria has signed upto, the competition allows anyone to vote EVERY 24 hours. So that means don’t just vote once! keep coming back and adding to the number.

    When you vote you will be asked to put in your name and postcode. This can be skipped if you don’t want to give details, it’s just for adding your name to a prize draw, personally I like prizes :P but if you are worried about being marketed to then just hit the ‘skip’ text link on the pop up.

    Please go vote if you have FB, and if not then rec the heck out of this post so more will see it and vote please ^_^

    PLNDR Model Contest

    Thank you!

  • Let’s win some Money…Xanga Style!

    Okay fellow fine Xangans I just came across this contest:

    Expose the Freelancer.com Logo! $25,000 in Prizes

    Here’s the details page: LINK

    And here is the Media Kit which can be downloaded from the site as well, just grap the logo and get it out there! :)

     

    Now, I live in the middle of nowhere, and thus cannot even if I wanted to go and show it to more than a few hundred…if that.

    But the brainwave struck me…what about getting creative with it (as they suggest) and making it a team effort :D

    So here’s the plan, anyone who wants in on it does what they can to spread the image, make a t-shirt, poster, website andything you can think of really. Then make sure to video it or get photos or screenshots for proof.

    Then you collect them all together and I edit them into somekind of unified video as our submission.

    Any and all people involved would of course get a fair and equal cut of the prize, if we should win…the only guarantee of that would of course be my word but I give it to you now that I would happily split any income form this with those that helped.

    Alternatively you can just join the contest yourself, the site is free to sign upto and given the right idea and video you might stand to win the entire thing :) but I think working together we will offer something far more unique and powerful.

    The contest will be running for another 3 weeks acording to the site, so we’ve got plenty time to think something up. As I said before my local area is pretty damn limited publicity wise (esspeically out of tourist season) but I can perhaps find some digital way of doing my bit, plus I will be able to compile the final video aswell, if noone else wants to.

    Anyway, leave a comment, message me or generally get in touch somehow if you want to play :)

  • Xanga Zombie Apocalypse (XZA)

    (Art work by @xXxlovelylollipop )

    ===Last Messages===

    Shambling towards my keyboard, the last of my sanity slipping away(due to a bite from a zombie) I PPhilip here on the west coast am preparing to write my last will and testament:


    I PPhilip barely of sound mind and body want to thank the Xanga internet group for the words of support when the Zombie infection began on the West Coast.
    Some folks think the spread started from a visitor from Malaysia (Restless butterfly and crew) who were fleeing from an outbreak spread by Orangutans. Yes I knew Restless butterfly and her crew and was willing to help them out to find refuge here on the west coast.
    My mind is going….I can’t concentrate….S’long everyone on x…..

    The Outbreak by @Tokyoexpressman

    ===============

    Saintblue1131 Hits the road: part one

     

    A small low boat slides silently down the sluggish river that snakes through Edinburgh. From the bank it seems empty, nothing more than another bit of flotsam dragged along by the inky water, but carefully a gloved hand slides out and alters a makeshift rudder, driving the boat slowly to the side.

     

    It arrives under a gloomy road bridge and a young man steps out. He is tall, with short dark brown hair and light stubble. His long heavy brown woollen coat is un-buttoned revealing a tightly bound layering of leather bracers, jacket and trousers serving as makeshift armour.

     

    In one hand he carries a vertically aligned double barrelled shotgun, around his chest a bandolier of shells. He presses a metal hook into the grassy banks to tie the boat on and slips a radio handset from his pocket.

     

    Looking around carefully first he leans in close and whispers into the handset.

    Margo?…i’m at the road bridge…Margo?…I’m coming into the city, I hope you’re still there

     

    Bede pressed himself in under the bridge, listening to the unnatural silence all around and the quiet crackling of the radio, the dark gothic buildings of Edinburgh seeming to enclose around him like black cloaked figures against a dull grey sky.

     

    Closing his eyes he casts his mind back over the road that lead him to this point and the plan one more time.

     

    The outbreak had hit only a week after his brother had left for NewZealand for the second time. Air travel had been closed down pretty quick once people began to panic, but not quick enough and soon international communication was getting patchy. Disconnected and feeling suddenly more alone than ever he had turned to Xanga to gather much needed information.

     

    There weren’t too many people that he knew close enough to be worth reaching but as the dark weeks before the shutdown progressed he tried to reach out to anyone within the UK.

     

    The isolation of home worked as a kind of buffer from the majority of the devastation that engulfed the rest of the country, with such a vast population crammed into too little space it didn’t take many infected to begin the end.

     

    As the panic spread and spilled out against the locked boarders and guarded coasts the isolated Highlands began to fill up. One day a car packed with a family and as many possessions as they could fit arrived in the local town, unfortunately one of the family members had been bitten and hoping against hope they had kept it hidden.

     

    As ‘home’ began to fall one township at a time Bede knew it was time to act. After a life of aimless purposelessness finally it was as if it all made sense, he had joked before that the only people really ready for a zombie apocalypse would be the gamers and perhaps in a strange way it was true.

     

    He didn’t know exactly what the end goal might be but he knew that as the infrastructure failed this cold often dark place would not be a long lasting base and so he had to move.

     

    Gathering equipment had been relatively easy to begin with, as soon as it was confirmed that zombies were real he had located and acquired as many weapons and bits of armour he could, again planning for this situation had started years before it happened merely as an entertainment.

     

    By the time the world went quiet he was well equipped and prepared, the only thing he needed was more team mates. His parents had decided to stick it out at home, but Bede had made a promise to meet up with his bother should this ever happen, he knew that together they could make it through somehow, but the facts were that the last he heard from his brother was that he was almost directly on the other side of the planet so the choice was easy, he had to get on the road.

     

    He learnt to drive quickly, training with his dad careful not to use up too much fuel and then leaving his home as well stocked and defended as possible began his journey.

     

    Prior to the shutdown he had gotten in touch with only two other UK Xangans, one was close by in Edinburgh and the other down in England. His plan was to make his way to the coast at Dover from which he could hopefully find a boat to the mainland collecting others as he went, but after the final call to action from Dan he changed his destination to America first and from there to make a new plan.

     

    He had always been told that he had the potential to be a leader, but never until today crouched under a bridge in the darkness of this quiet city had he felt it before. He was going to survive until his last breath and bring together as many fighters as he could before he was done, perhaps with enough people somekind of sanctuary could be made?…perhaps.

  • Who Dares Wins. *edit*

    Oh dear :/ it seems at least two people want me to turn a rather unattractive shade of red and have tagged me to do this Dare Survey of rather (nsfw) topics…well fine but i’m gonna bury it asap with posts about zombies straight after :P

    With ‘thanks’ to @olwd and @rushmorej for tagging me


    1) What do you consider your first sexual experience to be?

    Hmm Well a really cheap looking 80′s softcore porn video probably lol a really odd friend left it in our house once…and during a rare occasion I was home alone I took advantage of the oppertunity :P

    2) What is the sexiest thing you’ve ever worn in public?

    It’s not the clothes…it’s whats underneath that makes them sexy ;) lol

    But i’m sure some people might say my wellies hehe 

    3) What is the sexiest surprise you have ever given someone?

    Errrm does picking up a hooker in a really fancy car while playing GTA count?…because i’ve never done that either tbh -_-

    4) What is your favorite scene from a porn video or story?

    Since some people seem so interested, I suppose i’ll share shy Personally I find erotic stories the most arousing…but there is one scene that pops into mind from a video. Of a girl standing bent forwards holding onto a desk with a guy behind, holding her arm crossed behind her back….and now I need to write another post real quick so this is no longer my top blog shyblushshy

    5) Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex? 

    A quote from a computer game character seems appropriate here:

    I ain’t putting my lips on that” – Ben from Full Throttle.

    6) Had sex in a public place?

    Do you have any idea how far I’d have to travel to GET to a public place…let alone get it on in one ;)

    7) Have you ever had anal sex?

    Not to my knowledge and i’m pretty sure I’d have noticed.

    8) Have you ever had a rim job? Given one?

    I refer you to the quote above :)

    9) Are you in a relationship now?

    Nope :(

    10) What is your partner’s sexual fantasy?

    Still a delightful mystery to be uncovered ;)

    11) Do you prefer to orgasm before or after your partner?

    I made a Meme that sums up perfectly how I feel about this…

    niceguys

    12) How often do you masturbate?

    Well let’s put it this way…i’ve not gone blind yet, but I do need glasses :P

    13) Have you ever had cyber or phone sex?

    I dislike talking on phones, let alone anything else…and via computer game characters i’ve done pretty much EVERYTHING in cyberland ;)

    14) When you masturbate do you think of a specific person, celebrity or friend?

    It depends on the desired effect…sometimes there might be guest appearances. But Larry David says it best in Curb, when his wife asks him if he pictures her, can’t recall the exact quote but the gist is ‘You don’t want to be in those fantasies, believe me. You might show up at the end but mostly you’re better off not being there’ hehe :)

    15) What is on your sexual Bucket list?

    Ah finally an easy one…

    Have sex.

  • Xanga’s Zombie Apocalypse

    The inspirational and generally delightful @babieboo_annie made a pulse recently requesting a Xanga bloggers themed Zombie Apocalypse story of somesort.

    This is of course a brilliant idea :) and one i’ve sort of edged towards before with a post about picking which Xangans you’d choose for your Zombie Survival Team.

    But the pulse requested a story, and the also delightful @xXxlovelyLollipop tagged me as a potential pen for this story. I am not only flattered by this but…come on it’s Zombies!!! how could I call myself a nerd and refuse such an offer?!? ;)

    Sadly my time is limited at the moment (Hence the lack of another short story that i asked for ideas for, a StarTrek Xanga story is still on the cards eventually…i’ve not forgotten) so as was also suggested in the comments of the pulse, perhaps we could all sort of work on it together a bit?

    Below you will find a rather short starting point featuring who else but the mighty @TheTheologiansCafe ;) well what story about Xanga would be complete wthout him?

    I will add more to it bit by bit (I hope) but if anyone should wish to throw their ideas or short stories into the mix please feel free! :D

    If we manage to work together loosly and get inspiration from each others input we might be able to create a realistic feeling world based on how the brave Xangans would handle a world infested with Zombies.

    Anyway, without any more ado here is the first shambling step towards a Xanga Zombie Apocalypse Epic.


    The heavy wooden bat made a quiet ‘swish’ sound and then stopped suddenly with a solid ‘crunch’ the force was enough to decapitate the stumbling young man, sending his head spinning in a dark crimson arc into a wall, were it impacted spreading a bloody splatter.

    Dan swung the bat in one quick slice, sending a circle of blood from its edge, then backed slowly into the small metal side door, stepping over the other grey ragged bodies that lay strewn around it.

    He scanned the horizon of buildings quickly, noting the slow columns of smoke still rising lazily into the still black blue morning sky. ‘Still no-one alive’ he muttered before closing the door and locking it securely.

    As he made his way back through the dark building he ran through the past two months again, as he had done almost every day since it had happened. The few weeks prior that had been alive with internet chatter and news reports, mostly taken with a generous pinch of salt or out right disbelief.

    Then as the jokes began to fade and the reality of what was happening became more and more real, the sense of impending doom and powerlessness. Like all the movies and TV shows had warned us but not prepared us.

    Chaos broke out in small pockets and like many sparks that start a forest fire they slowly gathered and soon there was nothing that could stop the spread.

     

    He reached the upper floors, entering a large room with several couches and various boxes, useful items and trash scattered about it. Dropping into a couch he slid a laptop to face him with a finger and tapped the refresh button on his browser.

    please check your network connection’ popped up again.

    He flicked the laptop aside and sighed, resting his hands behind his head and staring at the golden dawn creeping over the smoke stained sky and drab buildings. Closing his eyes he could see the last post he ever wrote clearly behind his lids.

     

     

    It’s Real.

     

    I just shot a cop 5 times in the chest with his own gun…He kept walking.

     

    The last bullet I aimed at his head and he went down.

     

    I’ve got to leave my current location, find me at Xanga HQ

    If you can make it this is the final call for a Xanga meet up…this time bring weapons.

     

     

    The picture was from Walking Dead.

    He laughed to himself, it must have gotten the most views of any post ever, before the internet finally shutdown.

    Would anyone ever actually get here?

    It had been so quiet the last few weeks, maybe there wasn’t anyone left?

     

    He got up, grabbing his bat and walking to the large window.

    No!’ he said loudly to the quiet city below. He slapped the smooth red stained bat hard into his palm.

    If I made it then somewhere out there others have, just got to be patient…where are you?

     

  • Sweets from the Sweet

    With a big thanks to @Marica0701 and @mrs-foodlover for this wonderful box of sweeties and lovely card :D

    These are my prizes from the Halloween contest, so thank you to all who voted for me aswell! This is the second time i’ve won something from this fun competition, so make sure you mark it in your Xanga calendar for next year it’s well worth entering ;)

    Other things to today, I sorted a computer issue and taught a nice old lady how to check her e-mail.

    I also stayed over with a friend last night, which is always fun since he’s a decent relaxed sort of chap with a respectable enjoyment for good films (and bad ones :P ) and Xbox games ;)

    He also has a young daughter who never fails to beat everyone up lol which is a nice way to spend an evening ;)

    Then in the morning I sent off a package for a fellow Xangan, bought something (a rare event for someone with such currently limited funds) and even found a free 20pence outside the bank :D

    Finally I perfectly timed in with my dad driving back home from town which saved me a 10 mile hitchhike in the pouring rain. Got home nice and early, for plenty of toast, coffee and Dune on audio book ^_^ what could be better!

    How’s that for a slice of fried gold!

     

  • Stranger Friend

    With thanks once again to @babieboo_annie for starting another very nice and uplifting post chain here :D

    She’s like a one woman antidote to depression hehe (Change the Subject)

    The subject she changed to was that of the impact ‘strangers’ can have upon our lives, those moments when you meet someone and perhaps they are just someone you will pass by and never see again or perhaps they will become a friend you will treasure for the rest of your life.

    This is never more possible than online and with social communities like Xanga.

    For me this site has been my first and largest expression of social needs that I’ve ever had in life. Before I came here my social circle was tiny, small enough that I could count them on one hand i’d think, and of that number none were often seen or interacted with.

    So every interaction i’ve had and every person i’ve met here and via my larger and more far reaching exploration online has given me something truly unique. And it has been facinating some of the things I have experianced.

    I have met people I respected, been inspired by, envied, loved, felt akin to, worried for, feared, wondered about, desired and so many more emotions and states.

    Even with the distance and disconnection of the internet there is something that goes beyond simple text, interaction and deeds. Some people I have met and often even irregardless of how many times we talk or deal with each other I have felt a connection to them that goes beyond anything I could have expected or imagined.

    My closest and best friends are here, people I have fallen in love with and even those that I would swear are somehow long lost siblings. The impact whatever we are can have on others is wonderful, it is a power that can be guided in many directions but the vast majority have been good for me on this site and from the people I have known and met.

    I am grateful for everyone one of you and the impact and changes on my mind and life you and your words have had, so to follow the style of An’s post here’s a random list of some awesomely lovely Xangans :)

    @roadlesstaken @lkjslain @xXxlovelylollipop @fabolousclown @I_Love_burma @xdeelynnx @nushirox2 @endless21echos @kellsbella @itetpi @jennylovve @naughty_virgin @knightincroatianarmor @alovingadversary @wyrdkismet @boxedwine @restlessbutterfly @marica0701 @yearofthebeautiful

    Quite frankly there are just too many hehe :D So to all and to everyone I did not mention I give you this….HUGS (something I learnt from another wonderful Xangan hehe) Just imagine I’m huggiing you as tightly as this tiny rodent his hugging is space laser :P lol

  • I had a Dream…

    But now i’ve achieved it :D

    I really truly want to say thank you to Erin, @endless21echos for being such a good friend and sending me these :) it may be a small thing but the fact she just too something random I said ina vlog and did something so thoughtful is very touching.

    Now everyone go eat something sweet to celebrate for me ;) and watch Zombieland.

  • Halloween Wizard

    Almost missed it this year…but not quite ;)

    Here’s my submission for @Marica0701 ‘s costume contest!

    Last year I was rocking the wastelander look with my Fallout costume 

    This year I thought I’d throw together something a little more fantasy based (been listening to the Lord of The Rings a little too much I think…shouted ‘Elbereth!’ on the top of a mountain the other day :P ) So look below to see the Blue Wizard, with real sword!

    And yes I am aware I look rather silly lol

    Perfect Rainbow timing ;) …errm I mean powerful elemental magics!

    A few layers, low dramatic sunlight and a good breeze and anything looks good :) but if you happen to have a real sword and large leather belt that also helps.

    Yonder lies Mordor and the dark lord! we must ride to great peril at once!

    If only my staff was a bit longer :P but other than that this shot is my fave :D

    Oh dear -_- you always get one poser on these adventures.

    Alright thats all the shots I managed to take before my toes got too cold…one should never fight peril in open toed sandles…in winter.

    @TheTheologiansCafe
    @ctaretz
    @Mrs_FoodLover
    @megabyyte

    And the category I am aiming for is of course: Handmade or Original Idea…it’s not that original Wizards are age old :) but it’s all hand made…more accurately just random stuff i threw together that looks fantasy-ish ;)
