Twitter is for suckers! (or: It didn't fit me therefore I have to hate it like a teenager!)

I have a confession. Okay, not really a confession. I wonder why my semi-confessions always takes place on wednesday, when we all know that the official confessional day is THURSDAY, mostly in the shape of TMI Thursday. I wish I had more TMI Thursday stories for you. I'll dig into my memory bank and see if I can find something really embarassing for you guys.

Anyways, my confession today is about Twitter. During the long, warm summer days on our vacation I found myself with a little too much free time, so I joined Twitter. The day before yesterday, I broke up with Twitter. Yes bloggers, I have been cheating on you. I'm sorry. It wasn't worth it. It was just one of those summer flings that, once you return to your normal life, realise that you have no time for entertaining or giving to. When the leaves start turning orange and red, one just wants the old secure love back, right?

Also, I'm not funny or political enough to keep a stable follower base on Twitter, and also, I have a job where I can't tweet all day long, and also, I either sleep/work when everyone else tweets so I have no chance of keeping up. Also, there were no fun tweeters from St Aldus/Oak Grove and I got tired of reading about Foureyes drinking beer EVERY NIGHT. I swear, every night. That big city life isn't for me.

I guess that I just don't get the whole Twitter thing. It's not my kind of communcations. And, consider how long this post is, I'll just leave it there. LOVE YOU BLOGGERS!


Edit: Oh, and I can inform you all that there's still just a little glue on my nipple.

I am in twitter limbo.
It's very handy when you want information very fast, but at the same time I don't log in everyday, not even once a week. I certainly don't tweet myself and I don't want any followers. I don't follow anyone I know personally either...

oh, the conundrums of life...

I joined Twitter a few months ago because everyone kept nagging me to, but once I got there I had no idea what it was for and I still don't. I only tweet occasionally when ultra bored and I never check anyone else's tweets. I guess I just don't understand what the whole POINT is!

I agree with you, gluey-nipples!

Word, to both of you. I mean, is there gonna be an interesting flow of tweets, you gotta have a number of people you follow. If you don't, you only get people doing facebook statusupdates and like "Wow, this pizza is really good", or, if you follow an interesting flow of discussions, you can never keep up.

What kind of jobs do those people have? I mean, I have a break every two hours but I CANNOT keep up!

Yeah, the only charming thing about it (for me) really, is that I managed to compliment a celebrity that I followed and he said thanks!

I'm a Twitter fan, but I use it to A) stalk celebrities and B) drive people to my blog. I have found some really great blogs via Twitter, and have some great back and forth mini-conversations at times.

Totally. They just come too far and few inbetween.
