blather_roll_call_2023 o caritas I have been here for close to twenty years. It is this little secret of a place to leave some words every now and then. Even though I take many hiatuses (too many for too long), I always make my way back eventually. 230111 ... . i've also been here for close to twenty five years. i have rarely taken any hiatuses that were longer than maybe a couple weeks but after my last snaggle with the puppet masters and tone_police i decided to stop using my name i don't think i've been fooling anyone but at least here on blue people allow me some small sliver of anonymity (i need to write like i need to breathe. i tried to leave this place solidly in my past after my childhood ostracization buttons got pushed last year but this may be one of the healthier addictions of my compulsive psyche) 230112 ... ClairE Every time I come here I am more amazed it's still up. But I am still around. Every once in a while. 230623 ... In-Bloom captcha is a bitch 230624 ... sameoldego Gravitas, oh my Gravitas!

Soma I guess before the year is done, I should say I was here, just in another color. 231214 ... Soma Oh, am I supposed to mention how long I've been here? I guess since around 2005? at least that's the oldest blathe of mine I can find. Wow that's a long fucking time. Blather is still so nostalgic it just makes me feel that feeling of being a kid, reading things from people who are definitely absolutely adults and not kids like me. 231214 ... dafremen We're all kids. 231215 ... lycanthrope I'll be returning for the reality realer than reality here in my 80s, Dagda willing. 231215 ... refined_decline I come and go and haven't visited blather in a long time. Glad it's still here. 231215 what's it to you? who go blather from
