020116
...
yoink i invited a girl to go see it, but she already saw it, man, i felt like a retard. it isn't a big deal or anything, just a movie, but i hate when i get excited about things and people have already done them. it kills the moment, you know? 020117

...
yoink yes, we are married, married to the core 020620
...
ClairE Why? Know what I mean, man? 031015
...
yoink I know exactly what you mean. I'm sitting here getting older for no reason. I've been sitting here thinking about how to respond to you since 2003. Sorry Niki, I haven't grown any taller, and my hair looks like shit.

I've lived in 12% of the US and I'm positive that anything east of the Mississippi has very little to offer me.

I'm not depressed, just cynical. I'm pretty sure I should stop eating so much rice because my officemate really hates when I get gassy.

i like this little hideaway, like it's some final bastion of the internet that doesn't require a password, a login, an advertisement - and the strange feeling of knowing certain people for roughly a decade and not ever having met them. i was thinking the other day about how sad it will be when this site finally just disappears. then there will be these perfect strangers that i interacted with for so long that i will never hear from again. i wonder if anyone has died over those years, or if people long gone still think about this little corner of the world.

i feel like it could be the next big internet trend, but it isn't really, because it's not a place people really want to advertise. like a weird speakeasy where the only obligation is to speak your mind, even when your mind is really, really fucked up (either on drugs, or frustration, or sexual tension, or sadness, or utter weirdness)

i never really interacted with silentbob, but i know he's been around longer than i have, and i just saw he still posts here. that's just cool. and the roll call.

seriously, what the fuck kind of awesome website exists where you stumble upon it in some accidental search and find yourself checking in on it a decade later? i've spent hours just clicking through these things. i don't always post anything useful, or even poetic, or anything, i just ramble on, but isn't that the point? to blather? if i forget about this page for months, something inevitably brings me back. usually it's bitching about an ex girlfriend or trying to see if the site even exists anymore.

honestly, lately, i've been wondering what happened to nocturnal. i feel like i've sent out blather beacons to get her attention if she ever comes back. i know a little about her, but it fascinates me that i don't really know that much. i feel like i have this funny image of her in my head. i don't think i'd ever want to meet her, and i know this just makes me sound like a freaky obsessed person, but it's not like that - it's like a weird curiosity - the same that keeps bringing me back for other reasons. the same curiosity that made me think to check the unhinged and ask_yoink page tonight to see if you (unhinged) posted anything.

i think there should be an unwritten code to check in at least once a year if you're still alive. that seems to make sense

i also love that this page is permanent. you can't delete it once it's up. there are phone numbers, screen names, website addresses, all scattered around. i made a legit effort to keep all my own shit limited to vague, evasive descriptions, but at the same time, there's a lot of my history on here. it's like looking at my XX year old self 10 years ago. what if i put XXX? then i'd be old as shit 10 years ago.

what if there was a zombie apocalypse, or a 2012 mass extinction...what if this page survived in some secret underground bunker? do you think you could rely on your blather friends when all else failed? what a weird thing to think about. i'm sober, too. and wide awake, i have no excuses.

in true blather form, i'm not even going to bother editing this at all...stream of consciousness ftw

i hope that answers your question :)

also, it's funny that there isn't an entry for "drifter" yet. i'm going to make it

unhinged i know i can count on my blather friends when all else fails.

unhinged_in_san_francisco



i understand being obsessed; the only time i've ever spent extended periods of time away from both blathers is when i didn't have internet access at home when i was in grad_school or directly after i dropped out.

i haven't noticed noctournal (for some reason i can't spell that word today) around in awhile.


i too have blathered my life all over these pages for almost eleven years. it's interesting to see how some things change and some things will seemingly always stay the same.




but having met a bunch of skites over the years, i highly recommend it. like you said, we know each other even though we've never met each other. so meeting isn't as weird as you might think.
