    @MyHomeIsWriting - Yeah, it's a really good layout. It puts the focus on the entry, you know?
  • MyHomeIsWriting
    @DarklyLitWords - lol thanks. I like it too! It's very simple, very clean. I think I'll keep it for a long time. I changed it mostly cause when I'm transferring old entries into my word document for safe keeping I got sick of the tanish font color transferring over. So I searched xanga themes for so
  • DarklyLitWords
    Invading your chat board since you invaded mine. Did I ever tell you that I like the new layout? Because I like the new layout.

    Did you delete your own reply to me? I got an email and it also showed up in my inbox, but I can't see it here. *scratches head*
  • MyHomeIsWriting
    @Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Pesslairism is a term I created to encompass the vast array of things I call my beliefs; in it's way it is my religion thought it isn't actually a religion or anything. Pessimism + Plaigarism = Pesslairism.
