The joy of Xanga

The dawn of the blog era is great for spankos: not just for kink-specific blogs, but also for the glimpses of real-life discipline.

Take “OoFadedMemoriesoO”, for example. Her Xanga blog for Sunday, 30 October 2005 reflected on the week gone by…

Wellllll.

So I got paddled.. wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be, I got a nice welt. lol..

Or there’s “amberhoyt”, looking back on her school days:

I was waiting for the bus after school and realized I left my coat in my classroom. When I got into the classroom I remember the suckers my teacher had stashed in her bottom drawer, so I stuffed my coat pockets with them. Of course MY teacher was on duty that afternoon and found the suckers hanging out of my coat. I denied they were hers when asked about them, and I got a speech about taking advantage of her….I got a paddling that afternoon from my principal, my mom (who had to come pick me up from school because I was too busy stealing to realize I missed my bus) and from my dad.

Near-escapes are documented too. Sheanna’s writing style may in itself be grounds for punishment, but the following entry amused me nonetheless:

Hey yall it is me sry I have not updated and I have not been on I have been very very very busy lol well I got in trouble the other day and had 2 go 2 the office I almost got a paddling b/c I kept laughing I thought it was funny. I had 2 do a 10 page essay

I thnk Shna shld hv bn spnkd.

SophieHP also had a narrow escape (although what on earth is a ‘tar tie’ – some form of demerit?):

Speaking of Art I have three tar ties in that class and our Dean of Students told me that I could either take a paddling or go to I.S.S…. FUN LAND, here I come! So I get to miss a whole day of school, drink cokes, listen to music, and finish all of my assignments in a quiet atmosphere. That’s what I call heaven.

I just hope for her sake that the Dean wasn’t reading…

    Just a guess here that tar ties = “tardies” or number of times SophieHP was late to class?

    See, they’re just mixing Semitic word structure (using only consonants) with English. Quite impressive when you think about it. ;P

    LOL Natty, grls cn b cnd 4 bng 2 clvr & shwng off, u kn.

    Actually, it’s not Semitic. It’s from the former Yugoslavia. See, for example, my favourite-ever article from The Onion, “Clinton Ships Vowels to Bosnia”: I can find it on their own site any longer, but there’s a copy at:

    …According to Frankel, once the Bosnians have vowels, they will be able to construct such valuable sentences as: “The potatoes are ready”

    Cd jst b “d spds r rdy”

    (On that note, I give up with angloyugosemitic talk, it’s too hard, my brain LIKES vowels, I need a lie down now!)

    LOL Abel, seeing you attempt teenspeak is a bit like watching one’s father dance. Except, my dad is a good dancer, while your teenspeak is… yeah.
