I originally began because I was highly depressed and Kristen wanted me to have an outlet... that was non-chemical. So I started last February and I'm still blathing. I am so addicted. To the people (I love you bobby, daffy, nicole and liz). To the insight but most of all to the ability to express my opinions freely. 011001 ... spooky fish (aint nobody dope as me) because unlike excessive masturbation, this won't leave me with one arm bigger than the other 011002 ... Photophobe Because its a medium where nobody knows who they're writing to. We're sure to have had contact wioth someone out there, but not everyone. So when you're writing, you know people will judge what you write for what IT is, not who YOU are. I can spew out self indulgent crap, and people can skip over it. I can be insightful and not care who knows. I can complain without dragging people down or be uplifted without people laughing. I can show all my insecurities and smile, knowing that the risk is greatly reduced, because the people here are only virtual. I KNOW you're all real people, but I THINK you're all just concepts. And its great to see other people doing the same. Exposing themselves, taking comfort in the fact that I'm not as alone as I feel in the rest of my life; that its somewhat normal to have all this feeling that nobody around me ever shows. 011003 ... elonar because I can tell myself that you guys are actually listening...er, reading. yeah.

And it is my reason for existence. Naturally. 011128 ... whoknows b/c im addicted 011129 ... the repeater ``I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.'' -Dr. Seuss 011129 ... Toxic_Kisses BC my guy gets envious when I talk to my best friend (The LasT time we talked was a week before thanksgiving, and to think we use to talk every other day *sigh*) and so he is always devising a plan to keep me from talking to him. That and I fantasize about having my own fan club (Doesn’t every body?) 011224 ... splash of orange private_parallel_universe 020925 ... shower singer If i don't blather, i start to feel like i don't exist. 040821 ... cpgurrl it is magical (why_i_write_at_blather) 040821 ... somepeoplesmile because here i can talk without having to explain myself or have people look at me funny afterwards. also, it helps to know that i could walk away forever or choose a new name if anything goes horribly wrong 040822 ... i'm a narcissist. 040822 ... meta meta 060515 ...
