Why do you love Barbelith?

other topic got me thinking..
I was on about 5 or so years ago for a year and had a grand total of 12 posts!
I treat Barbelith more like a book I guess.. I LOVE soaking up info.. Get a well norished mind hanging out here (though maybe not a healthy one)

theres so many well spoken and funny people here. Tis great.

I come for the birds, the booze and the footy.

I think I left my bag around here somewhere.

I've lost my mum.

Force of habit.

Also I keep hoping that I will suddenly be struck with the inspiration and energy to write a whole series of topics and posts which will revitalize the board as a whole, but it hasn't happened yet (it's hard to think of rejuvenating topics when one's current main interest is C17 herring fisheries, but I don't think that's the only reason).

I buy Barbelith for the spot-the-ball competition. And the centrefold, of course...

in-jokes.

I wandered in accidentally and I can't find my way out.

In the old days it was all about the thrill of the kill. Nowadays that just seems too easy, but I have to keep coming back because it keeps me edgy. If I stop being edgy, I start getting sloppy. And if I start getting sloppy, I'll end up dead.

I hate Barbelith.

Currently, I *meh* barbelith. Neither one way or the other. I suppose I probably come back sporadically to check my messages, but conversationally, it's not got the pull it once did.

That's a good question. Why does Barbelith keep coming back to me?

Maybe it's because it still keeps on Rokkin like the Dokkin.

Uh-oh. Dokkin sucks...

If I have a question someone here usually has an answer. I've had people here help me with dancing, glam rock basslines, and English sonetts. Attitude varies day to day, but generally I think the members here are pretty smart.

Hmmm.... I guess what keeps me coming back is the feeling of being with kindred souls. (yeakh, I've had a bit of red wine. Why do you ask??)

Seriously, above and beyond that Sally Fields moment, this feels like home in some ways. I get to be a science geek, and it's ok. I get to be a magick geek, and it's ok. I can burble about food, or fashion, or fetishes, whatever...

Gah. It still all sounds like, "You like me! You really like me!!"
That's not what I'm trying to say; whether or not you all like me I still feel comfortable here. There's more, but that wine is getting in the way.

Besides which, I've set a personal goal of 1000 posts before May. If I don't keep coming back, I'll never reach it...

I second the reasons of KitKatKlub, except the fisheries part. I do not care a toss about fisheries.
