Turned Off By Tumblr

So some of you know that I have been posting on Tumblr as well as Xanga lately. Truthfully I did stop posting on Xanga for a while because of this, but I came back after a few months. I have a few reasons why I am turned off by Tumblr somewhat so I don't ever plan to make it my primary blog. The way I see it Xanga offers me more and I feel like I can do more with it. I am not overwhelmed by Xanga, it has a decent amount of people but not to many and not to little for my taste. I find it easy to find blogs I like and the people are friendly.

I have a few things I do not like about Tumblr. For one thing I can not completely customize the look on Tumblr like I can on Xanga. this has always been a turn off for me. I do not like to fork out money for that kind of thing if I can help it.

I had 5 followers on my Tumblr, 2 of those people were really creepy, this is a major turn off for me. This is another reason why I do not like Tumblr as much as I like Xanga, it is easier to run into gross, perverted, creepy blogs. I have a filter on Xanga so i don't run into that kind of thing. Thank you Xanga for providing this. <3

I don't know about other people but I find that finding blogs I like on Xanga is easier than finding blogs on tumblr that I like. I feel like I have to go through all the junk that I don't want to see sometimes on Tumblr to get to the blogs that I like.

I feel like people actually read my blog on Xanga and care what I say, I do not get this feeling from tumblr at all.

Anyway, the point is that I am kind of turned off by Tumblr a little bit now with all this stuff that has been happening to me while trying to get more into it, especially those few really creepy people that were following me... ew.

 

Borrowing Money and my Dislike for it!

Well I've never really liked borrowing money in the first place. Even online in a game. it's just not in my nature to ask for something that I could earn on my own unless if I need it right then, or very soon and it is not likely that i will be able to get it on my own.

My real dislike for borrowing money happened when I was coming back from a choir trip in my last year of High school. 

My choir had gone to Disneyland to perform and stuff. Anyway on our way back we stopped to eat. I misjudged the cost of the place I was staying at. I thought I had calculated it all just right and I had enough money but I was short one dollar turns out. Or a little more than that, wasn't a big deal to me at the time but i had to borrow from someone that was on a date with his girlfriend and the restaurant screwed up a little bit and somehow i ended up paying a little bit more than that, like not to much, I can't remember what it was but it really ticked the guy off. I apologized and quietly exited the restaurant and got back into the bus feeling quite embarrassed that I had interrupted their date. 

Anyway so now i have an even bigger dislike for borrowing money than I did before. It is 100 times more miserable for me now. I've had to borrow silver from people in a game I play a few times. I had to pay them back somehow in the end. Even that I hate a lot. I hate having to pay people back.

I guess that is another reason why I hate it. I always feel like I have to give something back to the other person. I'm not good at that kind of thing.

Do you like or dislike borrowing or owing people money?
