So I know it's like... months after the fact but does anyone else
hate the "New" Kiwibox?
I mean, the layout is just like every other site, and the status setting, comments, top friends, etc... hello Myspace??
Eh.
Anyway, what really bugs me is the whole "News" Section. What happened to Kiwimebers actually WRITING the articles? Now they are "submitters?" and just copy/ paste the articles from one news site onto here? What is that? At least take the time to write your opinion on it or SOMETHING? I think we are all capable of looking up articles on our own time, what do we need you to copy them onto here for? Especially since more than half of the articles are crap. Literally. Either they don't say anything, or they are about celebrity bullshit.
Like the one that was on my homepage this morning about That guy from GC having a baby... who cares? People have babies every day, they don't get articles written on them.
And the other one about the 4 year old girl getting thrown off the bridge? Sad... yes, but the article said NOTHING. If the girl who "submitted" that wanted to share that with us, she should have found a better article on the topic which actually said something. I got all the information I needed from the title because the article didn't have anything to say.
I guess that enough ranting... I just feel like this site keeps going down hill from when I joined in 99 and it was so new and "different" than all the other sites out there.
Updates on my life since I haven't written since last year... maybe longer:
-I'm dating Prince Charming... Serious.
I don't even know how to handle it. I'm used to dating complete jerks, and Bill is so different. I keep thinking I'm dreaming and one day I'm going to wake up to find that none of this is real.
-College sucks. I mean, I knew that from day one, but right now it's brutal. I'm in my second year at DePaul and we're on the quarter system rather than semesters. Currently I'm taking 5 courses instead of the typical 4... it is hell. Between work and school and seeing the boyfriend on the weekends I don't have time for anything... especially not Kiwibox, but I'm on it anyway!
I guess thats all I feel like writing for now.
I always say that I'll try and update more often, but it never happens, so this time I won't say it. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't.... it doesn't.
But then again, no one reads this anymore anyway, so it wouldn't really matter of I updated or not.
Hope all is well.
