this_needs_to_be_said . . 040331 ... somebody but not here 040331 ... WHITE WAVE copyright 2004 Okay, i hate to stoop to anybody's immature level. But i'm tired of people stealing my name. and i just want the idiot that is doing this to please stop. i'm probably old enough to be your mom, and i would spank your butt, if i found out it is you. why don't you go to the kiddy chatroom and stop disturbing this place that is for adults. even the teens that come here are way more mature than you are. and by the way, i don't think your jokes are at all funny..... 040331 ... poo poo what jokes? 040331 ... oop oop and what does your age have to do with it? 040331 ... whitechocolatewalrus there are so many people that deserve to die. and those that don't, die anyway. 040331 ... WHITE WAVE copyright 2004 My age. Well, maybe I feel like I'm one of the oldest people here. That's my hangup I guess. But really, I don't know why I care that someone took my name. By writing this, I am fueling someone's desire to continue doing this. If I had ignored it, I wouldn't be giving them the attention they are seeking. But I do feel I've earned my name. My name represents me and who I am. It sets me apart as an individual. On blather our names are not so important because we can change them easily. I change mine occasionally if it seems appropriate. But I never take someone else's except by accident(happened only once). I really don't want to change my name. I want people to know me by the hundred or so blathes I've written. If I've earned any respect by my name, I have a right to keep it. So if someone, who's age is irrelevant feels the need to do this to me. Please remember, that white_wave is not your birthname. White_Wave is a Welsh translation of the name Jennifer. That's the name I was born with. I don't believe it is your name, whoever you are. Wear your own clothing, don't hide behind someone else's. 040401 ... oldephebe i have to say white wave that the question "what does your age have to do with it anyway?" is indicative and or symptomatic of a generational, yeah genrational and increasingly cultural aversion, contempt, aversion towards anyone one or anything thing that demands or is percieved as requiring from us what is deemed by so many young and old as courtesy, and or respect based upon simply, having attained a few years, or just the lubrication of civilized social interaction - we think young and old, so addicted, accustomed to being the center of the universe..some feel that it is some how self-negating, or it some how constitutes an unbearable compromise with oneself to simply step out from the vain, shallow judgemental curtain..and simply show "courtesy" towards someone that doesn't accord us the same measure of goggled eyed deference or awe that we've or society..the "culture" conditioned those around us to do..or if someone doesn't play the albeit minor subserviant role we expect them to play..and is confident, powerful and yet courteous in our presence...so you know yeah we're much better off individually and collectively being satisfied..nay even choosing as an imperative of entitlement and healthy self-concept to stay inside the rot of our own self centeredness. Nice and prosaic and provincial postures of hostility....that are in themselves an expression..an overt expression of insecurity... ... 040401 ... nemo i still love him 040401 ... no-one all those people that complain about how blather used to be? SHUT UP! If you hate the way it is, stop coming. Or at least stop all the stupid posts that say how stupid blather is now, and how great it used to be. Aren't you complaing about posts like that? With all the the_way_blather_used_to_be and all the stupid things like that? The way I see it, there are good posts, nad there are bad ones. Avoid the bad ones, no-ones making you read them. No matter where you go, you're going to have stupid people posting. Blather seems to have less than the usual amout, if anything. So, get over it. Deal. 040402 ... eskimos friend people have been complaining that blather's not how it used to be for about three years now, at the very least, and it's only been around for six or so hasn't it, so i wouldn't bother raking that one up. and some people do leave, they move to red or stop completely, like daf (i don't think he left because of the way blather is). but some people don't want to leave, have been here for six years or however long, and they have every right to wish that things be different, if they want to. 040402 ... misstree i will not restrict my words. i will not be censored. i will, however, take responsibility for my own contributions, good or bad, empty or brimming. (i will also refrain from quite a few other comments, because i don't feel like arguing today. don't worry, they weren't about you... or you... well, maybe you...) 040402 ... misstree i love you, you mother fucker. i cherish you, and i'm leaving, and it hurts like hell. there. are you happy? now i said it. now it's real. 040402 ... white wave well, i'm kind of regretting that i expressed my honest opinion. because now there are some who think I'm complaining. who think i want to leave. nobody is going to scare me away. and i'm really not complaining. i love blather. blather is not a chatroom. and if I'm being a bit anal about the name thing, forgive me. maybe i wanted to blow off some stress, and this wasn't the place for it. when i think about it, i am so much more than my name. if someone writes under my name, they will not reflect who i am, and most blatherskites will know it's fake. and the things that have been said by the imposter were not negative. maybe the imposter would write a beautiful poem, and then i could take credit for it!! and oldephebe, my current age is giving me a bit of a crisis now. that's why i have to mention it, as if I feel my age gives me a higher stature. when actually, i am not particularly happy with being right in the middle between youth and old age. when i speak of being a "mother" to the blatherchildren due to my age,it reflects my own lack of offspring, and the future which passes so quickly. i have only six more good childbearing years left. i don't look down upon anyone young here, since i am definately in the minority, and feel i may be seen that way. in reality, no can see my appearence, so my physical age is very much irrelevent. i know the average age of blatherskites, so i can't help but be envious. i may see death much sooner than the teens, but who can predict? 040402 ... white wave maybe i do care about age a little bit. at age thirty four, would you place yourself as older or younger than me, oldephebe? 040402 ... girl_jane You make me happy. Thank you. 040403 ... white_wave I am childish and whine about everything. 040403 ... white wave I am no longer I a child. I no longer behave like a child. I remain calm, and composed under stressful situations. I seek to resolve conflicts. I have insight into the deeper needs of others. And I do like to drink an occasional glass of red wine. 040403 ... white wave I am no longer a child but I behave and react to situations like one. 040403 ... white wave I am no longer a child but I behave, but i remain young at heart, which will allow me to age gracefully. 040403 ... correction ... I am no longer a child but , but i remain young at heart, which will allow me to age gracefully. 040403 ... white wave is really angry now I am always right, nothing I do is wrong. 040403 ... gephiltaphish boy! that delicatessan i go to with ethel every thursday morning puts way too much onions on my gefiltafish...and the sauce is kinda overtly and sort of rancid like, there's an unhealthy sheen on its' surface. me. i've stopped tipping all together. but what a portion they give you! 041008 ... Michael David Tratsenberg OOh! That's SOME portion eh? And they keep it mostly kosher. Oh boy whata slice of onion i had today with my broiled chicken on rye with a liddle mustard. I been regular all day. And now I feel this powerful urge to divulge in tortuous graphic detail every sickness and malady I'm suffering from. That young doctuh weismann is a young punk. a quack is what he is. Not at all like his uncle Sal. I'd like to pummel him with a sock full of quarry stones. So maybe i have a right ta be upset. what's wrong with a liddle venting? it cleans out the gahshpickle. OK? These things happen. 041130 what's it to you? who go blather from
