• eProps

  A curious young soul once asked, “whats an eprop and how do i get them?”

  And here was my response:

  “eProps are the justice system of the xanga world. The xanga gods issued them as a form of currency of respect and satisfaction, or of cynicism and disgust. eProps are considered your ticket for your next post, get none, and disgrace you bring your family. Some abuse the privilege and destroy the meaning of eProps by giving them out like candy…and in return they recieve also meaningless eProps. This evil pattern is what has diminished some of the glamour of the xanga world. People may write that they went to school and nothing happened that day and recieve 2 eProps…and it saddens my heart. eProps were designed to keep xanga authors working hard and xanga fans happy. These eProps are to a xanga user as applause is to a performer…if you don’t perform well, then you won’t get any. Do not take eProps for granted, for eProps are sacred. Its a way you can be told “Job well done, soldier, I enjoyed that post.”  You show deference to the eProp leaders, as they have mastered a sacred art with clear dexterity. May eProps be with you.”

  Allow me to go further.  An eProp is of greater value than a lowly comment, for you cannot subtract from the face value of an eProp, while comments are often times repetetive and meaningless.  Also, eProps indicate a variety of commenters, not just a crazed friend with a barrage of comments that indicates too much time on their hands. 

  My dreams wish to see the benefit of the eProp extend further.  If only there were some way to cash or trade these eProps for xanga weapons or enhanced features.  Perhaps the eProps could buy the xanga names we wanted, but some mind-clone of mine out there stole it first!  Then would the power of the eProps be fully realized!  But as it stands, we sprinkle eProps on bad posts like giving diamonds to a bum.  One day my dream will be executed, and the xanga world ill no longer be socialist, but classes will exist and democracy shall prevail!

  What is an eProp to you?

  The night rolls into the station and it’s time to snooze.  Goodnight…er, morning.
