XangaSecret: Volume XI
Due to popular demand, XangaSecret is back after a 3 months break!
For those that are unfamiliar with what this is, it is a video project of mine where I feature secrets (whether related to Xanga or not) from Xangans in videos. All secrets are generally given to me anonymously.
Enjoy the 11th edition of XangaSecret, featuring music by theacematt2 (it’s his birthday today btw. Go stop by and say hi!):
RE: So, I pretty much love Cakalusa. He’s hysterical, and I really want to meet him in real life. I’m also kind of… young.
“Unlike the wine I drink, I like my women young. (Will that land me in jail?)” -Cakalusa
“I’ve loved Cakalusa ever since I discovered him. I want to meet him too, but isn’t he almost twice my age? Oh well.” -anonymous
RE: I’ve always thought Snapeful was beautiful and had a crush on her. Then, I found out she likes girls, and even if she liked guys I wouldn’t measure up to her standards. Regardless, she is still remarkable!
“Daww! I’m not sure who you are, but I’m sure you’re epic haha. Especially if you share a love of awesome food. Friends don’t require standards!” -snapeful
RE: These videos inspire me to make stronger connections with Xangans.
“I’m very happy to hear that! I’ve certainly enjoyed the connections I’ve made here so far.” -Alex
“The videos inspire me too, but I have no clue how to go about doing it. And the idea that people could actually get to know me, well that’s a little scary too.” -MochaSprinkle
RE: While I absolutely love when people like my poetry, sometimes I wish they’d understand what I was saying. So far, nobody really gets it, and if they do they’ve never told me. I’m sorry if I bother people with depressing topics. I know of no other way to let it out peacefully.
“I totally understand what they are saying. I don’t feel a lot of people do understand, but maybe it isn’t meant for that to be. We take what we get from other people’s writing. But I would too, love if just one person would understand what I am truly saying.” -imasilentheart
RE: I love to meet people, but I feel like a creepazoid always making the first move to meet up or hang out.
“My life exactly, but I end up settling and going out first anyway, because I feel like if I were to stop making the 1st move all the time, nobody would ever come to me. I’ve learned to accept it, but underneath it I still wish for people to contact me first.” -Coffee_Kaioken
“YO, THROW A XANGA MEET IF POSSIBLE! Xangans are awesome!

Love the new twist!
this is definitely your legacy in the xangaland….
besides being the nicest xangan, that is
They get better and better
someone i know was saying they like these from you the best of your contetn
Nice!
This was shorter! –Good nonetheless.
More please! <3
Alex this is so awesome ^^
a lot of these speak what is inside our heatrs and somehow portraying them anonymously and with music and matching pictures, it touches us
As usual, I’ll have to wait until I get home to watch it. But it gets a REC on principle alone.
i loved this. damn, how could i have missed something as great like this.
yay!! This is back
This is one of the original reasons I loved xanga so much at first.
always great
“creepazoid”… I think I’m gonna start using that word now. too bad I don’t know who it is I’m stealing it from
You gave in! haha… Not as juicy as the rest but hey I enjoyed this one and HAHAHAHA…One of those secrets looks familiar.
I love that you brought this back…
I like it
Beautiful.
Yes these are fun but what am I doing? I am running a blatant whoring for a spot on top blogs today. Then here I go and give a rec to a better entry than mine. Better than mine being a back handed complement
Cool!
Because PostSecret.blogspot.com will never been good enough for us stuck up Xangans.
Dude I love this :]
Happy birthday, Matt!
awww these are always wonderful! i should share a secret too!! i wouldn’t even know what to share though…
Yay, a new volume! Wow, some of the secrets are so strong.
Another excellent volume!
I always love these. Glad to see them back.
I always feel inspired after i watch these for some reason.
I love these. Thank you for bringing these back,and of course, creating them!
I had no idea this was still going on. haha
some very touching secrets c: and happy birthday to matt~
i’m too pretty to go to jail
That is great.
@throughsamseyes - Hmm, what twist? I just changed the beginning and ending slightly haha. Still wanna come up with something more creatively different eventually.
@maniacsicko - Eh legacy, smegacy. I’m glad people enjoy it.
@Paul_Partisan - I guess that’s a good thing. It’s my only real reoccurring type of blog post.
@eternal_relevance - It would have been longer, but Matt’s song didn’t last long enough =(
@swtaznxtc90 - That means it did it’s purpose =D
well done!!!
@MyxlDove - Haha thanks. Hope you enjoy it when you see it.
@zippoe - Have you seen the previous ones?
@xnotxbeautifulx - Really?? Awesome =D
@azndood4you - Thanks buddy
@SimplyNita - I liked that word too! I put that secret in based on that alone. j/k
@oxyGENE_08 - Are you hinting one of the secrets is yours?? Yeah, I made this one a little bit more nicer than the last real secrets video that was so depressing.
@Roadlesstaken - i haven’t, this is my first time.
Once again, amazing job
@Galbsadi - @bluepillorredpill -@Passionflwr86 - @samanthabecicka - @JinnLedet - @Shavanna - @gwacemom@momaroo - Thanks, glad I still have the hang of making these videos after a long break from them.
@trunthepaige - Oh you’ll have no trouble getting up there =)
@None_May_Have_Her - PostSecret is something I look forward to every Sunday still =D
@xkthily - Oh I’m sure you can think of something.
@puella_sapiens216 - Any in particular you were referring to? It’s a bit more lighter than some of the past ones.
@Eternalimplosion - That’s a good reaction to have =)
@zippoe - Go check out some of the others! The others are bit longer, but there’s definitely some juicy stuff in them.
@breaking_expectations - @buddy71 - @TheTheologiansCafe - @BeautifulDisaster04 - Thanks, I’m happy to keep on making them as long as people want them.
@twentyse7enn - Oh it wasn’t! I decided to start it up again after there seems to be some more interests in bringing it back.
@snapeful - Like your secret, right? haha
@CaKaLusa - I hope that excuse works for you.
My internet connection is too slow to watch it >.<
@Roadlesstaken - ok, i’ll be checking them. Now i’m excited.
@Roadlesstaken - yes really
@zippoe - My faves have been Volume VII, Volume VIII (Love and Heartache Edition) and the Volume X (April Fools).
@mycontinuity - Eww. Find faster connection stat!
@Roadlesstaken - no :C I was talking about the other ones! RUDE.
The one about their poetry:
I totally understand what they are saying. I don’t feel a lot of people do understand, but maybe it isn’t meant for that to be. We take what we get from other people’s writing. But I would too, love if just one person would understand what I am truly saying.
Great secrets and I truly liked the song.
Hm, didn’t know Xanga had this. I like it. Will have to watch the older ones…
I think this is probably one redeeming quality of Xanga.
@Lordv16 - Ah don’t say that, pretty soon they will have to plateau!
This is good . . . real good.
@imasilentheart - I definitely enjoy how Matt’s songs fit well with these type of videos =)
@Daniella_Aalyiah_Li - Well, that’s a very flattering thing of you to say! I hope you enjoy the other ones as well. There are some really good secrets in many of them.
@Roadlesstaken - The reply part. I didn’t think that was there before?
@throughsamseyes - Nah, that has been a staple of the past videos as well. I see SOMEBODY’S not paying attention! j/k
@jacksoncroons - I’m glad it’s not bad, real bad =P
@Roadlesstaken - Pshht..that’s what happens, when you take a three month break! Plus, it’s summer, my brain stops working.
@CaKaLusa - Oh, check the reply section in the post. Seems like you got quite the young fanbase!
thank you for bringing this back! my life has meaning once again! haha great job!
Alex this is awesome!! This is the very first one I’ve watched, but I am in LOVE with Post Secret and I loved watching this one. It’s really good!! Talk about inspiring.
wow Volume XI …and it never gets old
…great job once again, rlt! 
@Cucumber_Melonhead - Haha oh your life had meaning way before these videos were made =)
@dark_light1115 - Awesome! Be sure to check out some of the others. There’s some good stuff.
@Peridot21 - Apparently this series still got some life =)
“I love to meet people but I feel like a creepazoid always making the first move to meet up or hang out.”
My life exactly, but I end up settling and going out first anyway, because I feel like if I were to stop making the 1st move all the time, nobody would ever come to me. I’ve learned to accept it, but underneath it I still wish for people to contact me first.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT !! i think i’ve already said that on fb somewheres….
and finally another one!
Wonderful. =)
@ordinary_gir1 - I guess this series still got some juice left!
@theboneofcontention - thanks!
@Coffee_Kaioken - Got it up there now!
@Roadlesstaken - Thanks man!

Those are some great secrets.
Yay! I’m glad it’s back.. thanks, Alex!
Your next username should seriously be “Alex_Chan_has_blog” I would sub, just for that.
@christabel_lamotte - Haha, I shouldn’t keep this one?
@MochaSprinkle - no need to thank me, just doing my part
@crazy2love - Xangans sure do have some good ones.
@verified_but_still_denied - For you buddy
@Roadlesstaken - <3<3<3<3<3
@Roadlesstaken - No, no, keep this one, I just saw your header and got inspired XD
” I love to meet people, but I feel like a creepazoid always making the first move to meet up or hang out.”
^^ YO, THROW A XANGA MEET IF POSSIBLE! xangans are awesome!

Justin
nice, i miss these
how did you post a youtube video? did you just copy and paste?
very nicely done!
and Caka’s a perv.
Perv.
I have no secret here…But I like this video..
Thank you again!
Reading these makes me want to explore more of xanga…
I love these videos!
@Roadlesstaken - ;) ~ hopefully that says it all! haha
RE: These videos inspire me to make stronger connections with Xangans.
The videos inspire me too, but I have no clue how to go about doing it. And the idea that people could actually get to know me, well that’s a little scary too.
@jeannie_dot_com - I guess Xanga meets are sorta fun *shrugs*
@ehs_swimmer2007 - It’s real, which I like.
@Yohkom - they miss you too.
@jtnbreezy - nah, you have to embed it in with html coding
@mae - I think everyone pretty much knows/expects that haha
@Chemalexandru - We all have some secrets! Doesn’t necessarily have to be about Xanga
@babixling - That’s a good thing!
@TheCheshireGrins - Glad you do!
@MochaSprinkle - It’s not too bad, although I’ll admit I was initially a little hesitant
Yay!! I was waiting for these. Saw them since the beginning, though it’s my first time commenting.
@mayanao - Well feel free to keep on coming by! =)
niice
@Roadlesstaken - you added me as a friend…NOW my life has meaning! hahaha just kidding.
Yay for XangaSecret! <3
I can’t wait for the next! and I <3 the music!
Good job Alex and Matt!
~V
@a6luvunot - @karen0z- @TheMarriedFreshman - Thanks!
@Daniella_Aalyiah_Li- Feel free to submit your own secrets as well!
I’m so glad they are back! This one is my favorite so far
@seriously_meredith - Haha really? What made that so?
I always enjoy these videos. Each secret is so different. Some are sad, some just have me giggling and some I can relate to. Keep them coming Alex, thanks.
@ElusiveWords - Will do!
I love Matts music
@Leap_toads - Same, which is why I keep using his music!
Amazing. These are just as awesome as PostSecret, if not better.
dude seriously, you need to give more time in your video to read the statements, especially the longer ones. Also a lot of the moving backgrounds also make it a little harder to read the words.
@moonznstrz - Thanks! Appreciate it.
@Cameronie - Can’t speed read? j/k. Yeah, this volume was a bit faster pace because I was limited by the length of the song I used. I had to cut off an extra second or two per secret in order to fit them in. Don’t worry, the next one I will use a much longer song so I can add more time. As far as the moving background, I tried my best to put the writing in the open areas and when it did go over background images I made sure to outline the words to make them popped out. Some are still gonna be somewhat hard to make out anyway, but I tried. I would much rather keep the background moving despite that one con since it makes it more interesting to watch.
I can only see half the video. D:
@purpleandgreene - Did you let it load up all the way?
I can’t believe I’ve never watched these videos before… It’s interesting to see how interacting on xanga affects people. I think I’ll try to be more careful with my comments in the future.
@Alyxandri - Yeah, people sometimes forget behind a username and profile picture there’s usually a human being.
@Roadlesstaken - Yus. It wasn’t that I couldn’t see the ful video, but that part of the right side was cut-off, so when I was reading secrets, I could only read parts of them.
Well-done!
Keep ‘em coming…love these!
@firetyger - @lonelywanderer2 - Thanks!
@purpleandgreene - Hmm, interesting. You can double click the video so it opens up in the YouTube page. Should be okay there.
The Xanga meet was fun as hell in NYC, but after it’s over, I can’t help but worry that in secrecy, there were at least a couple of people who really found me annoying, but were just pretending to be nice to me and said I was cool.
i don’t believe i’ve left comments here before but i’ve watched all your videos. i think you are doing something amazing. its only too bad i live too far away to attend any of these meet ups. keep up the good work!
@flashlivesforever_29 - What area do you live? I’m glad to see you’ve finally left a comment. It’s good to hear that people are still enjoying these videos =)
