MiLords & MiLadies, I want to thank everyone who participated in the last challenge. What wonderful entries I was privileged to read! Although the turnout was relatively small, the entries themselves were fantastic! I must mention one in particular. uber-ghey's entry was not open for comments, and understandably so. It was an intense and somewhat disturbing entry, but so powerful! Of all the entries, yours was the one that touched me the most. It is impossible for me to imagine what you have gone through in your young life, but know that my heart goes out to you and yes, I still believe that you are very brave! And now, on with the new challenge! You have all been so forthcoming and honest with these last few challenges. I have asked you to dig deep into yourselves to hopefully learn something new or different about yourselves. This time around, I'm asking you to get back to basics and just have some fantasy fun! We'll call this challenge SUPER HERO The challenge: Imagine waking up one morning and much to your surprise you have developed a power that no one else has? What would you do with this power? Would you share it with your family, your community, the world? Would you feel obligated, or would you simply keep it to yourself? How would you use it? For good? For evil, for the betterment of mankind? How would you live your life? Any ideas for names for who you have become? Strategies for living your new life? Tell us! And now, here are your super powers. You will notice that they are listed according to the alphabet. . . you MUST use your designated superpower! And you MUST use the letter that YOUR XANGA NAME starts with! That is the hardest part of the challenge! Please follow the rules! A through L Your power is the ability to learn anything by only seeing it once! Imagine being able to glance at an instruction manual or the television for only a moment and then being able to take apart and reassemble a car engine! Just think of the possibilities! M through S You have the power to transmutate! You can become ANY shape and or person/animal/item that you think about! Wow! T through Z Your power is telekinesis! You can move things with your mind! With a mere thought you can finally retrieve that t.v. remote control you keep misplacing! TIMELINE You have until the end of the month (providing this challenge goes well!)Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site! Give stars! And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it! MUST DO's You MUST have your entry put on PUBLIC. You MUST link to either this site or the blog ring. You MUST come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge, I will then link to your entry.

MiLords & MiLadies, A new challenge is afoot! Put on your imagination caps and follow me through a world that you have not yet explored! This challenge comes from an interesting suggestion from our sweet sister silkenbutterfly. Her idea was one that I had never thought of before and I found it an interesting challenge. Here is her idea: "Pretend we're someone else in our life- a mom or spouse or child- and write a letter to ourselves pretending to be them." This means stepping into someone else's mind and emotions about YOU! Let's expand this to include friends and people we work with. We'll call it SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES THE PARAMETERS Do your best to "become" this other person....what is their perception of you? Do they love you? Hate you? Do you irritate them or are they wild about you? Become this other person as much as possible and give us the details. . .who they are, what they are to you and how they perceive you or feel about you. Remember, you can use poetry, write a letter, use pictures, draw, whatever is easiest for you to do! TIMELINE You have until the 15th of the month (providing this challenge goes well!)Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!

MiLords & MiLadies, Because the current challenge isn't garnering much interest, I've decided to put up a new one, and, like PAM, because it's my blog ring and I can! This challenge was suggested by our own myseniormoments several months ago. She gave me 2 ideas and this is her second one. THE CHALLENGE A Look Back How has your outlook or life changed since you started your blog? Go back through your entries for the month of May in the year you first started blogging here on Xanga. You can go back to the very beginning or from just last year. Are there any significant changes? What was on your mind back then? Tell us about it, WITHOUT reposting the entry. TIME LINE You have until the end of the month. EDIT: IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY A CLOSE VOTE TO E X T E N D THIS CHALLENGE! PLEASE HAVE IT COMPLETED BY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4! Thank you to all who expressed an opinion! Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site! Give stars!
