2 days ago she broke my heart. She didn't give me a reason. She gave me a hug but it made me feel like her touch was pushing daggers into me because I knew that that she would never want me to hold her in my arms again.
I shared the most special thing I could with her and we were together for almost 9 months. I loved her so. Today was the first day in my whole life that I thought it might be woth it to kill myself because withought her there was nothing left to lose. I convinced myself out of this thought as quickly as possible. I held the shell in my hands wondering if she would care. I put it back because I knew I couldn't give up on life. She once loved me more than I loved her. She once would do anything for me. no longer. I have finally seen how this world turns cold.

In loving memory of a once great friendship

I think we aaallllll want to know.... How Big???

I now believe that everything will be ok. I bought her Tim Hortons today! (yay) (she never lets me get her anything). We were at one of my best friends parties and had a good time :p. I hope it lasts. This feeling is ecstacy. (but there's other things that feel like ecstacy too :p) lol. She loves me again and I don't want to give it up. l

lots of love, Fang

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

TypePad Micro

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.

The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.

When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.

It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.

Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.

As always, thanks for your patience.

This girl... well, I'm not even sure where to begin, but she is almost the only thing that matters to me right now. I feel... like if she was gone then I would be lost. I wouldn't know where to go, what to say, what to do. I would act like everything is fine, and I'm still the same egoistic, tight jeans and sexy muscles guy I have been fore a really long time. But underneath that guy, I can't help but wonder, why do people fall in love? If I hadn't of fallen in love then I would probably have dated half of the hot chicks in our school, went to many, many afterparty's and generally have a good time. But somehow my bestfriend from grade 6 and on, started to catch my eye, I would get jealous of her sitting other guys and giggling at them, heck, I would even get jealous if someone besides me sat next to her in class. And as this is all happening, I slowly start to pat less attention to the blonde on my right, or the nice peice of ass infront of me. I would be thinking of her instead. At first when I decided that I was going to ask her out, everything went perfectly. We kissed for the first time at a friends party. We talked on the phone untill 4:00 in the morning (at which point we both fell asleep and then apolligized the next morning). Now, she dosn't love me. I had to break up with her because she refused to be the one to break up, which felt like I was ripping my heart out of my chest. The reason I had to break up with her is because she liked another guy. It felt like I was going to die because of my body attacking itself or something.
Now, she's back. she says she loves me again and I believe her. How can I not. But if this happens again. I am not sure what I am going to do. I might just not speak to her again or I might go crawl in a hole and die. Eighter way, I will never be the same.

I love you samantha.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy
