Maya Eats Cake

And by popular demand, I (of course) imply the curious but sweet comment by L, that I “should have a blog.” Well, I used to have a diaryland, and I used to have a xanga…I used to be into all those online places…until I stopped. Thinking back to them days (when I was soooo young, suuuuch a baby, yeah?) Whimit was a huge deal. I just checked online and the site is still there, not a thing about it changed but for the disappointing community numbers. Back in the day (5-6 years ago) at any given point in time there would be tens of thousands of users logged on. Now theres 180. I checked my profile religiously…the whole idea of being russian, young, and online, it was so cool. Every guys picture had him posing with his shirt off, or else his finest russian gangster clothes. Every girl had a provocative outfit and lots of makeup. Everyone’s text was formatted in alternating caps, lots of ~~~***~~~ that stuff going on… I guess people arent as into being Russian now. Myspace stole all the whimit users, along with the rest of the world…but what about the common thread? That doesnt matter anymore? One of whimits greatest appeals was that everyone on it was Russian. Some people even typed their profile in russian, and for whatever reason, that made it all the more fun. I must’ve went on like, 4 blind dates using whimit, lowering my inhibitions (and sometimes, standards) because I knew the kids online were russian…and I love me my Igors and Ivans. Now its gone with the wind, like Tomagotchis. **TeAr** rip whimit.
