hi lil cricket I just wanted to say Hi. I feel guilty for posting on red. So I will keep it short so as not to offend the blue. Do you think it has feelings? I changed my name on this one, not for privacy purposes, but because I like this name as well. Both names have significance. I am calling myself lil' cricket because my friend calls me cricket. He knows how much I love, and am soothed, by the chirps of the crickets as I fall asleep at night. chirpchirp chirpchirp chirpchirp Blather is Beautiful in red or blue Blue is just a more soothing color to look at. Color affects mood. Red will make you more edgey. Blue will calm. 010305 ... mikey hi. my name is well..um mikey! and im an blather addict. been a day now since ive officially posted on blather. it consumes me. its like seeing a fireplace and wanting to jump into it..well i jumped in and im not coming out! i think we need more blathers! what about green! im irish i love green! green is a horny color was always the thing...i love sex so come on green! GRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN! 010306 ... nocturnal so that's why you were so set on having green to yourself. you horny little irishman. 010307 ... florescent light I went to this page and I was reading the first post and I thought wow what a cute question about if blather has feelings and then I looked to see who had written such a brilliant thing... and it was me! hehe I wrote it and didn't remember anyway, I haven't been here in ages just came to say HI 010712 ... nocturnal hi! I miss the high traffic days of red. I like this colour better than blue, but I love them both. much like when a mother says she doesn't have a favourite child, but that she loves them both the same for different reasons. that's how I feel about red and blue. 010712 ... bebe shut-up. 010713 ... nocturnal fuck you. 010713 ... Toxic_Kisses ...Seems I'm going to spending allot more time here since I've exiled myself from Blue Blather for a while. I hope some one comes to keep me company, be awfully lonely here all alone. 011218 ... casinoboy hi - my name's jaysen and i'm a drug addict. i started out as a poor rich boy when i was 16, i could never get drunk as i didn't like the taste of alcohol and my parents were less likely to notice that their son was high on coke than if i was drunk. i never have had a problem with drinking, even when i wanted to get high i could stop at 2 beers. last december 19th my parents were in a head on collision, and my dad died on christmas eve. i don't remember christmas and have vague recollections until my mom died on jannuary 16th. i don't remember through until valentine's day, when my friend jenny brought me to rehab. i don't remember getting there, only screaming i would kill her with my bare hands. i don't remember charging at my friend because he had found my stash, and shoving him through the front window on to the ground below. i don't remember shoving the cop who came because of the disturbance. i DEFINITELY don't remember sending the email to jenny that ripped her in two, or telling her ex adam just where she was, and that she really did miss being with him. i still haven't forgiven myself for telling her rapist she liked it. i don't remember the night she almost died. i forgive myself because i know i am a different person. so hi -- my name is jaysen, and i've been sober for about 8 months, and i did it for myself but because of piercedjenny. That, and the meetings are cool 011218 ... casinoboy thanks for letting me practice what i am saying when i speak tomorrow. i'm nervous. 011218 ... yesh Hi, and good luck. I'm thinking of you. Hi is friendly and chipper and holds out a hand. 011218 ... cube Congratulations Casino. I hesitate to call you 'boy'. If by life experience we become men, then you have at least left the boy behind ... 011219 ... Norm Wooo, whoa, ouch. That hit me like a ton of bricks. Congratulations Casino, stay away from that poison and keep reaching for that rainbow. 011219 ... casinoboy Thanks cube and norm and anyone else who responded. I was VERY nervous going to my meeting today, and expected when I said "hi... my name is..." that Jenny would be there to celebrate with me. This was an important day for me, and it is her 10 months tomorrow... but she hasn't yet forgiven me. I am 8 months sober today, the car crash that changed my life was a year ago today, and I feel selfish after everything I have, or haven't done for her, but all I wanted was my best friend to be there today, you know? I spoke alot about her today, because I think initially my deciding that I would rather remember things had everything to do with the fact that I always hurt her when I was stoned. I mean, she almost died, no she did die and was revived, and I had no clue. I gave her ex bf Adam (who raped her and beat her senseless over years) her new address and cell number. She is the reason I became sober, and every time I think of those reasons, and the fact a kid stoned on heroin killed my parents, I stay sober. Today is hard, and I'm typing instead of going out, because I have alot of money and can only think of one think to spend it on. So hi.. again... thanks for reading my story 011219 ... yesh I have the utmost respect for what you are trying to do. I hope you can find some for yourself. Hi, everyone! 011222 ... oren Hello. 011223 ... pralines&cream "Hi" is how it all starts 011223 ... piercedjenny one of the easiest words to say, except when its you and i'm too busy listening to my heart beat. then i only smile and look away. 020102 ... User24 hi everyone, it's user24 here from blue, i know I said some nasty things about /red, but, now I like it better. Those who feel like doing a bit of detective work will be able to out my aliases here on red, I've kept all but one traceable back to me. Other than that, I hope my time here will as enjoyable as those first years on blue, but I think everyone will agree that it has changed, for better or worse, and yes, I have been somewhat instrumental in some of those changes, poking my code where it was never intended (winks at cube, minnesota_chris) I think that those deconstructive steps I took had more of an effect on me than I had imagined; no longer was blue a place to think, but a place to play and chat. I realised that blather is not immortal, and I think that by coming, at least in part, to /red will help break down that conception, although of course, I'm sure it still is true in /red. anyway, here I am, hello guys. 030426 ... peyton hi I missed ya How's things? 030915 ... silentbob it makes me feel bad when people say they feel guilty or "unwelcome" posting on red. as if people are wanting them to leave. 030916 ... User24 perhaps blather is (yeah, I know, 50% of this damn site is speculation about what it is, but...) an experiment (well, duh..!) to see what two seperately evolved communities do when introduced, how they cope with each other, perhaps, we might have started a war between the colours? perhaps we'd have started a collective to cross reference from red to blue, sharing what needs to be shared across the two, like a trade treaty? (or perhaps we'd just co-exist in peace) 030917 ... leahcar Hi. I pressed go and wound up on this page, last visited ages ago. Traffic is slow both here and on blue these days and I have to say...Regardless of if it's the calming pages of blue or the warming hum of red, I'm still in love with blather... 100625 ... raze every woman in her family said this — not by way of greeting, but when they did something they thought was stupid. as in, "hi, self...what exactly are you doing?" a little self-directed verbal tap on the head. i always found it endearing. maybe they were all genetically predisposed to saying hi to themselves in times of mild confusion. maybe that's a thing you can be. 130522 what's it to you? who go blather from
