If you want the parameters to be indented the same amount (why you'd want that, I don't know, but whatever floats your boat):

  blah(
    blip,
    blop,
    bloop
  );
And anyway, 'you see the code the exact same way I saw it when writing it' has the following problems:

1. It doesn't help because you were writing the code, I have to read it.

2. It doesn't help because the way my brain works most likely isn't 100% interchangeable with how yours does.

3. It may even not be true because I may be using a different editor, a different editor theme, a different font, or, by golly, an entirely different monitor resolution.

That being said, I will agree with my sibling comments which recommend the combination of tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment.
