blather_school_photo sabbie remember at primary school when we got our photo taken? row upon row of unnaturally clean kids hair artificially flattened to skulls big cheesy grins and all standing up straight (arms by sides) portrayed once a year for a memory into forever. i was just sitting here thinking what a blather school photo would look like and whether we'd all wash our hair specially or if we'd wear our best clothes. 010308 ... nocturnal I wanna be in the front row!!!!! 010308 ... silentbob id wear all black that day 010308 ... johnny west And I would be naked. 010310 ... aimee Hey if you're gonna be taking my picture, I'm gonna have to dress up, I hate dressing up.... can't I just wear my jeans and a sweater? 010310 ... nocturnal they can't make you dress up if you don't wanna dress up. wear what you wish, that's my policy. 010310 ... sabbie i'm pretty sure blather has a uniform, so i think you'll be ok. as a true and accurate representation of the blather community thou, maybe the photo would just be a hundred pieces of paper with different names on them... 010312 ... twiggie i dread school photos 010312 ... dafremen Perhaps I'll come up with a blather school photo. I'll just take any class photo, blank out the faces, and put each of your aliases between the ears instead. I'll get back to you will a URL to view it at. 010312 ... mikey actually that would be pretty cool. id go view it. thats a perty damn good idea. 010312 ... twiggie omg! i was going to write on here earlier "we should just white out the faces and put the names there instead" woot! 010312 ... unhinged i think that we should make up a uniform...or something. maybe not. i think we should get our picture taken on the playground. 010312 ... johnny west We could steal a bunch of swingsets, chain them all together, and each of us would have our own swing! 010312 ... alkalinepixie can i wear my wings ? 010312 ... johnny west You have to. No choice in the matter. 010312 ... nocturnal um, I still wanna be in the front row. y'all don't mind, do ya? 010312 ... silentbob Katie, take your wings outside, you can't fly them here besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my pixie You're an angel, you little devil and as for me i'll stay inside i'll be just fine and watch from a window 010312 ... alkalinepixie bobby gets to stand next to me. i love you silentbob. 010312 ... johnny west Can I be in the front row with nocturnal? 010312 ... nocturnal I suppose, as long as you don't do nothing wierd. not that I think you would ever do such a thing. I would love for you to stand by me in the front row, you little nutcase. 010312 ... mikey i'll sit in the back corner by myself. i'll be the one who didnt quite fit in the photo that you cant really tell who it was and nobody would even notice anyway. theyd just be going "whos the moron not in the picture" 010312 ... nocturnal oh hell no! you're on the other side of me. otherwise I won't even bother to be in the picture. I'll absolutely refuse unless you're on one side of me. sorry, but I'm putting my foot down on this one. 010313 ... mikey cant do it. thats pity and that would just make it so much worse. i prefer the spot in the corner in the back. 010313 ... nocturnal you know what? then fuck it. you stand in the corner and be "forgotten" as you say, and I just won't be in it anyway. it wouldn't be worth it. sorry johnny. that's just the way it's gotta be. call it pity if you like mikey, but you're so wrong. 010313 ... mikey ouch 010313 ... monadh can I be in on this one? *grin* 010313 ... johnny west I think we gotta drug mikey up and get him in the front row whether he likes it or not. Tough love! And monadh is definitely in. 010313 ... johnny west Come to think of it, we should really do this. All of us blatherers should get together for a class photo. It must be done! Maybe not today...maybe not tomorrow...but maybe later in the year, when the weather isn't so shitty. 010313 ... mikey weather shitty? sunny skies no clouds clear blue 65-70s cool breezes....oh wait not everyone is in CA =o) 010313 ... birdmad or AZ for that matter 010313 ... monadh cold and rainy in my corner of the globe 010313 ... florescent light Yes, but do you know how it -feels- to walk downtown, 11 o'clock at night, with downy blankets of white wonder shimmering all around, spinning from the heavens. Ice crystals falling on your tongue. Have you ever had diamonds lacing your eyelashes? Do you know the peacefulness the snow kindles as it harmonically sings of its tranquility? The gaiety of losing your footing and falling with the snow can keep you a child forever. 010313 ... monadh I love the snow in the winter I live for the snow my world becomes an ice palace but we didn't have nearly enough of it this year which is going to mean a lot of forest fires in the summer it is stormy here now we just had the first rumbles of thunder for the year it is in the distance I should turn off my computer 010313 ... mikey mona you need a nice power outlet so you dont have to worry about turning off your computer. 010313 ... monadh yes I probably do have a silly surge bar thing but if the power goes I can't stop it 010313 ... johnny west Just hold on tight and scream: AWAWANANAGOTTAWASHTHEDISHESPOWERSTINKYSHITSTUFF! 010313 ... mikey could get UPS backup power supply. some arent very costly and can give 4-8 hours of backup power or more. maybe even one smaller. just for emergency. 010313 ... monadh yes and I live out in the middle of nowhere so a backup supply would be a great thing alas my empty wallet doesn't agree 010313 ... monadh can I wear a funny hat? 010313 ... mikey you can whatsoever you wish Mona' 010313 ... monadh oh goody..then it will match the clothes I will wear they look just as funny haha 010313 ... sabbie dammit, that was supposed to be 'i'm pretty sure blather DOESNT HAVE a uniform, so i think you'll be ok.' sheesh. i think i shall stand in the middle, all by myself. everyone else seems to want to stand in the back or at the front. depending on how many people want to be in this, thers going to be two mighty long rows of people with only one person inbetween them. mikey, everyone notices the people at the back as much as the people at the front. if you want to be inconspicuous, theres nowhere better than the middle. of course .:looks around:. thats only if theres enough people in there with you... 010314 ... jem dibs on sitting beside mikey 010314 ... mikey i guess i shall just sit in the middle...that way i can get snuggled from all sides!! weeeeeeeee im not clausterphobic so dont be shy! 010314 ... birdmad i'll be, as Steve Buscemi said in Desperado: "the biggest mexican you've ever seen." except i don't have the long hair to hide my face like that anymore. 010314 ... sabbie i've been thinking. are people choosing to be themselves in the photo? or are you choosing to be your blather persona? or do you argue that they are the same? i think i shall wear a wise sabbie mask, and i will be concentrating on keeping my spine straight and my grin firmly plastered on. 010428 ... nocturnal well, I would argue that they are the same. if for others the two differ, I think it should be up to each individual which one they choose to have photographed. oh, and me and johnny are front and center, smiling our asses off! 010429 ... green_tenedril i'd like to come too and be in the photo! who gets to hold the little felt board sign thingie that says what the photo is of? i'll wear green. i think. 010429 ... nocturnal well, if you're gonna wear green, you can't stand by me cuz I'll be sporting green, but you are of course more than welcome to be in the picture. and the two people in the middle of the front row always hold that little sign. but I don't want to hold it, so maybe johnny and I will be in the front right by who ever holds the sign. What should the sign say? it can't be blather class of 2001 cuz there's no division of classes here. hmm.... 010429 ... green_tenedril okay, we'll be sure to stand far apart, nocturnal, though it makes me a little sad. i think the sign should say something like 'blather reunion' though it's not a reunion,it's more like an introduction. hmm. that's a tough one. any one else got a sign idea? 010501 ... sabbie how about 'blather revolution' or 'blatherists' or 'comrades blathski' or just simply 'us'. we know who we are and what we do. 010501 ... Dafremen Ok I have the blather school photo, but NOW I need a list of names to put in. 010502 ... Dafremen P.S. Johnny....you're NOT naked in it... Sorry do0d 010502 ... Casey I hate having my picture taken. I always look so stupid in every one. It's like I have not yet found my perfect way of smiling. And looking at a picture of myself just reminds me of how pathetic i really am 010502 ... nocturnal for your list just take down everyone on this page, except mikey. he's a drop-out. he told me he's never coming back here so you can just leave him out. 010502 ... mmm i want to b in the photo, please 010503 ... Alexander Beetle click 010503 ... nocturnal dude, not yet. we are so not ready. not even close. I need a mirror. 010503 ... Kontrol A photo with everyone in uniform. An excellent idea. Sabbie receives ONE GREEN TICK in my_book. Everyone don your midnight blue suits and tie your cyan neckties like nooses. 010512 ... nocturnal how about YOU show up in uniform and the rest of us will wear whatever the hell we want. yes. that sounds like a much better plan. 010512 ... johnny west I'm still gonna be naked. Fuck clothing. 010512 ... nocturnal CALCULUS FREE good thing you're standing next to me. this could get interesting..... 010512 ... Kontrol Nudity is not permitted, except in my office. My cane must do its work unhindered. Two black crosses for Mr West. I'm only amazed you haven't gone in my_book before. 010512 ... johnny west As am I. You should see all the nasty things I've been getting away with! I suppose it's only natural that my clothing-free days should come to a temporary standstill. Well, I guess I could keep my clothes on at school. That isn't too much to ask. 010512 ... Kontrol Glad to hear it. Your naked presence has a most distracting effect on the others. I dread to think what would happen if Wilty the Janitor saw you. 010512 ... wilty the janitor I think I'm best sticking with female nudity. Y'know about that one time I saw a guy...God, I was just...Oh boy... :::singing::: Memories... Something something something... :::runs off to the bar again::: 010512 ... Aimee can I be in it too? 010716 ... DannyH You already are. 010716 ... nocturnal at work just a reminder: I'm still in the front with johnny! 010716 ... yummychuckle i always always look horrible in school photos... this would be no different. I'll probably have this weird look on my face, and I wont be looking at the camera. distracted by johnny's nudity, I'm sure. 010716 ... Aimee yeah but I thought maybe you guys changed your minds... lol 010716 ... ClairE Who would be the one smirking, who would be the one all dressed up and starched within an inch of their life, who would be the one with the luck of Calvin's dad when he went to get his driver's license photo taken...? 011129 ... Mahayana im sure i could hunt down mumm to give me one of those "horrid" night before pictures hair cuts shed give all 6 of us... [i never understood it ] crooked ... choppy ... always went so damn well with my one eye closed more than the other look i had going... [{oh such tragedy ...i always was a mess in some hideous pink or yellow dress}] 020617 ... god too little too late, eh? 020617 ... kerry i'd like to be in it i'll wear either my BSA motorcycle shirt or my Seton Catholic School shirt and my blue hospital scrubs. and i'll be wherever you need me to be. but i'm warning you, i'm kind of short, so the back row might not work out too well. 020628 ... jane i'll be somewhere in the middle wearing green or blue i'll decide the morning of 020629 ... pralines&cream i'd be in it ... just for the fuck of it i guess 020629 ... phil http://www.cityatlas.com/dataimg/millardnorthhigh-exts.jpg 020630 ... celestias shadow Oooh, oooh, can I be a part of this lurvely school pic? You know I'd be the idiot in the second row who's staring at something behind the photographer's shoulder, instead of at the camera, where I'm SUPPOSED to be looking! Actually, I got my school pictures this week. They're the first ones I've ever been able to look at without screaming since about third grade. This is a major accomplishment for me. Fuck that. They're beautiful. 031120 ... r_r . 091003 ... fghio fghio 101114 what's it to you? who go blather from
