(i hate that word...blog...so ugly) i would be horribly sad if some internet economist got ahold of blather's statistics and decided that the costs outweighed the benefits. cause i can't put a price on the sanity and friendship blather has afforded me over the years. hear that newdream people? don't pull our blue and red plugs. i'd even be willing to give you some money i think. 050708 ... . no, blather is on the blob. it's become a moody teeneager 050708 ... jane ween! 070508 ... misstree there's a billion other writing alternatives to blather that there weren't at its inception. blogging has become the yardstick for such things... i admit that i do so myself, but mostly because i *do* want the general public to be able to read, and blather is, well, specific public, and general anonymity. i still come here for my word_worship, when i have it in me. plus, don't forget the spam. 070509 ... misstree i hate that i just put blather in the same category as blogs. it's such an entity unto itself, and somehow it feels like calling bauhaus emo. 070509 ... shilohlives I've been gone from blather blue for a long time... It's nice to come back to the quiet blather blue that I remember. 070510 what's it to you? who go blather from
