You use the phrase "blather_dork".
You start every day with the phrase, "All_right, blather_time."

Your friend says something cool and you say, "Ooh, you should blathe that."
And then she says, "Yeah, I should."
You make references to your own, or other's, blathes in real_life conversations.
You realize that out of the five people you're talking to online, all are from blather. And your conversations include phrases such as "I really want some of those carrots you blathed about."
You actually have something to add to this list.

I check blather before my e-mail and more often the my e-mail.
I have to fight off the urge to use underscores in key_phrases when I am typing or writing.

when nobody but you has blathed in two hours but you keep hitting re-load every 2 minutes anyway
even though you've got nothing else to do online, and you've blathed all you felt like blathing, you just can't make the break and disconnect your soul from the blue

you are so involved with other blatherers that you make up all these crazy stories of how you met those people you keep mentioning that you regular friends don't know about ("oh...i met him this summer, he's a friend of travis'" or "um...hes erics cousin that i met at this family gathering thing...")
just so you dont sound so pathetic for having so many online friends.

"You make references to your own, or other's, blathes in real_life conversations. "
yep, many times.
"You check new blathes before your e-mail... "
ohh, yeah.
"when nobody but you has blathed in two hours but you keep hitting re-load every 2 minutes anyway "
uhuh.
"even though you've got nothing else to do online, and you've blathed all you felt like blathing, you just can't make the break and disconnect your soul from the blue "
yup.
I'd like to add:
When you start going cold and sweaty when you see a 404 on blather, eg "Oh my, god, it's crashed, they've deleted it, my soul, it's all gone, what am I going to do", etc..
When you hear a word and make a mental note to check it up on blather.
When you start trying to make blather do things it shouldn't.
When you start thinking about how cool it would be to organise a blather party
When you see blue things and think "ahhhh" as a wave of calmness flows over you.
When you start making little blather jokes in the real world.
When you learn the personality of fellow blatherskites.
When you use the words "blathe" and "blatherskite" as natuarally as any other.
When you start opening up and blathing really personal stuff here.
When you stop thinkng of blather as a website and start thinking of it as a physical place.
When you write poetry about blather.
that's about all I can think of...

well... i do check the list every day - i find it easier than blather_surfing.
but sometimes i have a word in my head and i have to search for it. the fact that i know how makes me a bit of an addict, i guess; like if i was a crack-head and i knew where to go to get the crack at any time of the day...
that sort of thing.

haha! I must be a blather addict. I'm wearing 2 shades of blue--navy coloured pants and a lighter blue top,and if someone wrote words on me,I'd look like blather! Another sign I might be addicted,is that I have a few moments to myself and I thought I'd spend it doing something relaxing,so here I am. :)

I was talking to someone the other day at work and they mentioned something really cool. And I said, "Oh, I'm going to have to go and blathe about that."
Then the look they gave me was the true moment when I realised I'm compeletely addicted to blather.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Were the words used... I guess I forgot that blathe isn't a word most people know... oops?

Oh also, you're addicted if you went to Warped tour and they had a booth to make your own buttons and you made one that said,
"A blatherskite knows best."
It's true... I really did..

when it's 1:45 am and you still feel the need to check out recent blathes, When you see the blathe titled blatherlj and say to yourself, "i'm a part of that". When people ask you about blather you talk about the genious of the concept, the sprawling light of it all, the city speaking in tongues, the love of language in it's purest form
