The Blender of Love has always had a special relationship with school, from its start on servers at Tufts University back in the day to its annual summer slowdown...
Current Blender Survey:
Who's treated you the best in love, and what did they do?

So as school kicks into gear, we bring you another month of the Blender. We're the place for some great Reading and Writing...the 'Rithmetic you'll have to work out on your own.

Also, in the interest of keeping the usual Message Board nice and friendly, we've created a special Politics board for talk of the upcoming USA election and other controversial topics. Enter at your own risk, but it's not all that risky...

Also, this month marks 2 million frontpage hits for the Blender, as measured by digits.com...that's like 20,000 a month since we started measuring in 1996!

As always, read and enjoy...
--Kirk, Blender-Keeper

Small work based on some board conversation.

Goodnight, Goodbye
Make-Believe
Two by hollywoodfox...a newish voice on the 'Blender. I love the close of "Goodnight, Goodbye" and "Make-Believe" is just a lovely little prose bite.

For some reason "sweaty from a night of dreaming" sounds like a great way to be.
