The Force Ghost of BFDs Past

A long time ago, in a blog place very, very near... there were blogs o'plenty celebrating BFD (Balanced Force Day).

Out BFD wishes were told in story and song, pictures and blogs.

But alas, the bloggers are no more.

It's a dark time for the rebellion... I mourn the loss of the SW Blogs like an old friend. This was once the first place I clicked on when I went online, but now it's maybe once a day if that.

The salad days are over... I miss them, and I don't even eat salad...

But... instead of being sad, let me just say this:

Have a great BFD or whatever you celebrate. Merry Christmas, Happy Belated Hanukkah and Winter Solstice, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

May the Force be with us all.

And nobody even commented. Now that's just pathetic. Maybe they've all gone somewhere to eat salad. :^O

We all know this place will never be the same, Giddy. And even worse than that, we know why. But we're always going to have the friendships we made during the era before the Dark Times, and the knowledge that I'm able to annoy you whenever I want is more than good enough for me. ;)

Happy Balanced Force Day!!! :x And may the Force be with you...always.

I miss the celebration, the poems, and so on. It's just not the same around here. But anyway, I hope you had a merry Christmas, and have a Happy BFD!

I miss it all too.... I miss that only our SW friends are here - no one randomly commenting "WTF does *that* mean" just because it shows up in their feed. This once thriving blog community is scattered to the wind.... HAPPY BELATED BFD!! I tried very hard to stay away from technology yesterday. (that's my only excuse!!)

I should have posted something myself, but I just didn't have the heart... let it RIP!

It's been a while, for me... This is the first time I've been back in a while... Where did everyone go?

Most bloggers are just gone... mostly scared off, some banned, some just lost interest... it's a vicious circle... no one blogs because there's no one here to read them and etc etc...



Thanks, Willie! We have 2007, too! LOL

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

I may be late to the party, but I'm never too far away. 'Tis been a busy, busy year. Sad to say, but true. I'm with you, gl, and everyone else. . .it isn't what it once was around here, but I try to stop by every once in a while. ;

I hope you have had a happy holiday season, and a most beloved Balanced Force Day.
