Going to my grandma's
Just woke up
Ate some bad eggs this morning
Just saw the funniest movie ever
Who want's to go for bagels?
Okay, I'll admit. I'm usually WAY behind the trend on almost all fronts:
I've never owned anything from Urban Outfitter.
I just learned what an Ed Hardy t-shirt is 3 weeks ago (I'm actually okay with that one... what kind of TOOL will pay $106 for a t-shirt just becuase Brittney wears them?).
I didn't get a Facebook until 2 years after it started (I was still on MySpace... like the nOOb I am).
I've only posted 1 thing on YouTube... 2 years ago.
I've only been blogging since October.
Even as a kid, I was way behind on the whole slap bracelet craze (I was on the cutting edge of the POG craze, however).
Well recently, I decided to catch up with the rest of my generation and figure out what this whole Twitter thing is all about.
Basically, it's a free online service that allows you to keep everyone in the world updated on your status at all times. You just update your status from your cell phone, and anyone who has opted to receive your updates will get a text message on theirs. (side note, most Twitter'ers [aka Tweeters] us a special application on their iPhone... I'm still in the stone age so I just have to send an old fashioned text message)
Sounds harmless, right? Sounds kinda fun, right? Oh no, my friends! Do NOT be fooled. I thought it would be neat to be updated on my friends' status' throughout the day. That is until my fellow Tweeters started Tweeting every 5 minutes!
"I'm at lunch." 12:00 pm
"I ordered the BBQ pizza... mmmmmmmm!" 12:10 pm
"Should I get the Super Fudge Brownie or the Cheesecake?" 12:33 pm
"Leaving the restaurant now." 12:48 pm
"Traffic sucks!" 12:57 pm
"Just saw an old man picking his nose in his car." 1:01 pm
"OOOOOO... just saw the new Honda Civic Hybrid. GO GREEN!" 1:02 pm
"BBQ pizza = stomach ache and bad gas." 1:14 pm
"OH MY GOSH.... NEVER AGAIN BBQ PIZZA!!!" 1:22 pm
"Back at the office, 5 mins late for my meeting." 1:35 pm
"This meeting = BOOOORRRIIINNNGGGGGG!!" 1:42 pm
"Why do I always have to pee in the middle of a meeting?!" 1:58 pm
"That was the longest meeting of my LIFE." 2:15 pm
"Back at my desk." 2:18 pm
"Funniest YouTube video EVER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs." 2:25 pm
"Email from old friend = ( :" 2:34 pm
"Conference call @ 3:00." 2:57 pm
"Conference call = BOOOORRRIIINNNGGGGGG!!" 3:13 pm
"Conference call is over... getting kinda hungry." 3:41 pm
"130,456 pts on Bejeweled. Suck on THAT @her_name_was_lola." 4:15 pm
"Still hungry." 4:22 pm
"Just ate my left-overs. BBQ pizza.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm." 4:30
"On my way home." 5:00 pm
"BBQ PIZZA + STOMACH ACHE + TRAFFIC = BAD DAY!!!" 5:13 pm
Needless to say, I've turned off the "receive a text message when a friend Tweets" option on my Twitter account. Looks like I'll actually have to call my friends to see what they're up to. Maybe I'll text them.
First off, a sincere apology to my faithful readers. Life's been crazy and I've been lazy. I know you've been waiting with baited breath for my next post and have been disappointed for the last month.
A special thanks to ALL of my readers... both of you.
Mom, Mom-in-law, here you go.

LOL Oh I never use the text notification thing - my phone would never be let alone.
That is so hilarious @gregsuiter! That video was right on. It's not going to make me stop tweeting, but I do realize what I am doing and it's pretty lame. Yeah I would never have it text me everytime someone tweeted me. My phone would be vibrating non stop. See you Thursday @gregsuiter! TWEET!
Ryan told me you deleted my comment! I TOTALLY did not mean anything by it - it was a reference to your video when the guys says that people who use twitter have no friends. Sorry!!!! I feel so bad. I'm a jerk . . . feel free to leave mean comments on our blog :-( Sorry!
