I can't wait until the blather_convention that's totally plausible in reality because then we'll all get to give each other hugs and cuddle! :) life is all lollipops and rainbows! seriously, enough with the fucking lists already. 031101 ... Dafremen I'd like to add bitter old skite to my list. 031101 ... Dafremen see the latest of said lists: honk_if_you_luvz_you_sum_bitter_old_skite 031101 ... butter mold spite i'd like to add a fist up daffy's ass 031101 ... Dafremen (Wears three-ply denim for just such occasions as these.) 031102 ... skite 4 I am so sick of how people are ruining blather! Ruin ruin ruin! Ruin ruin ruin! Everyone is cluttering up blather with conversation and lists instead of poetry and song lyrics by bands with dead lead singers! Everything at blather sucks now because there are all of these people who don't blathe like me! We should screen blather so that only the people we like get in! You guys are such fucking losers! You're lucky that there are people like me who keep blather the way it should be! 031102 ... skite 5 i love you skite 4! 031102 ... bitter old skite it's like skite 4 read my mind, then posted what s/he read in a satirical manner intending to make me feel bad that I dislike stupid people and am annoyed by their incessant love lists which serve no purpose other than to stroke someone's ego in hopes of getting their own stroked in return. and if anyone wishes to argue that there is actually some other purpose to those lists, don't kid yourselves. if you want someone to love you unconditionally and remind you of that every day, get a dog. 031102 ... skite 6 all of you are so profound, and i feel so inferior. tell me how much you love reading my words so i can pretend to be humble and flattered. look at me, but don't look at me. i want attention, but i'll keep pretending i don't. nobody loves me. :: sob :: 031102 ... peacemaker skite blather_is_blather. it's constantly changing. calm down. nevermind the fact that, not so long ago, i was bitching in much the same manner as skites 4 through 6. let's get back to what really matters and talk about which skites we'd like to have sweaty cybersex with. 031102 ... skites 7-12 oh, skite 6...we wish we could write like you. your words are so beautiful. we're making a skite_six_number_one_fan page for you right now. 031102 ... skite 4 LISTS SUCK! 1. They are stupid. 2. It is wrong to praise people. 3. It is wrong to praise yourself. 4. Blather would be much better if we insulted eachother. 5. Let's all be irritable, hate-ridden depressed monsters who write irritable, hate-ridden depressed poetry and constantly put down our own writing and others and everything else at blather because blather should be a Very Serious Place. 6. YEAAAAH! 7. Lists suck! 8. I luv daf! 9. I luv safeway! 10. I luv me! 031103 ... tolerance? each to their own 031103 ... Dafremen I think this is all fascinating. I've yet to start a list like that, but I think it's important for most writers to know that their stuff is being read. I personally went for 2 years at this place before finding out that certain people were reading my stuff. I still occasionally get emails and ya know what, I don't solicit praise, but it's nice when it comes and it keeps the words flowing and motivates the flow of more. Anyone that calls it an ego stroke is right. Anyone that things there is anything wrong with writers and creative types having their egos stroked needs to have their head examined. It's tough being a writer, and the rewards are minimal unless yer some kind of prodigy like Stephen King or that guy who writes the Idiot's Guide To series..or the brilliant mind behind the weekly Auto Trader. So get real, blow up on a message board somewhere, or better yet, keep doing what you're doing and eventually, you'll end up on someone's list, because although you fail to make a valid point, this stuff is entertaining as hell. 031103 ... skite13 dammit, did Dafremen actually post before I got a chance to pretend to be Dafremen posting in response to a pretend comment? Oh well... so that list of skites we want to have sweaty cybersex with... I am all about some skites 7-12 031103 ... skite 14 daffy is an idiot 031103 ... skite 99 (jumped in line) I can't stop laughing. All of you should make this into a broadway play. Dance and sing. 031103 ... Dafremen(or is it?) Yes...yes he did. He also called the guy who writes Auto Trader a genius and admits that you are fascinating. Which, of course makes daffy and idiot. 031103 ... x those things make daffy and idiot. me and baby makes two. what does me minus idiot make? 031103 ... dafremen impersonator YOU! 031104 ... p2 seeing on site meter that someone spent half an hour reading your blog 050104 what's it to you? who go blather from
