Me Twitter Now

April 23, 2007 by Katherine Coble

So last week I said I didn’t ‘get’ twitter, and I didn’t think I was cut out for it, because I type too much.

Over the weekend there was a lot of peer pressure. Sort of like watching the ‘Scared Straight’ movie in Gym Class. So I decided this morning that I would sign up for Twitter.

This afternoon I have had it revealed unto me the true purpose of Twitter. If Blogging is the equivalent of writing for the school paper, then Twitter is passing notes in class. And I EXCELLED at passing notes in class. So I think I shall enjoy the experience of Twitter, despite my brevity-challenged style.

Will you add me as your friend? I’m merely following you right now so you can’t see my messages. 😦

Oh! it makes a lot more sense now. Maybe I’ll do it to be part of the “in” crowd.

I was a note passing exceller too. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I have a box in my closet with every single note I ever got in high school…

PS So far I think I’ve only seen you type “Getting up from the desk” once, too. And that included extra info as well. 🙂

Mine kept getting confiscated.

Which is a pain, since my Mom was the Dean of Women.

(That cracks me up. Tiny Christian School with like 50 students in the High School and they had a “Dean of Women” as though we were Bryn Mawr or Smith or that whacky Oberlin.)

Hahaha! Now THAT’S what I call pretentious! 🙂

And your picture is absolutely smoking.
I sorta wish I had thought it was like “passing notes.”
It would have explained the Twitter thing much easier.

Dang it – I wish I knew what the hullabaloo was about. My employer has decided I don’t need Twitter to do my job, so it’s filtered.

It’s not a totally bad thing, SMB is filtered too!

Wow…I feel totally more unhip than usual. I am now officially the only person who doesn’t Twitter….

I’m in the unhip camp too. I already am too flaky and fragmentary in my thinking because of blurts in comments (never have to sustain any idea very long, never have to come up with my own argument). Twitter would just make my case of “bad brains” worse. Plus, I have no friends IRL so social networking sites don’t really do it for me.

I fully expect the novelty to wear off soon. ;-p

Ironically, bridgett, the only people I’m following on Twitter are bloggers.

Aww, now, we didn’t have a Dean of Women. Because if we had, we would have needed a Dean of Men and a Dean of Transgendered Persons as well. 😉
