what do you fellas like a twitter for? do you use it personally? initially i didn't even want a twitter. i was one of those "fuck twitter" guys. i made one exclusively for promotion of a blog i was working on at the time, somebody retweeted an account named @doctor_ass into my timeline, and i got drawn into making my own account for trawling the political right. fast forward about a full month of doing nothing but sitting on my couch and this happened, and my pride for being a shut-in dickhead swelled


here are my known Sw'ers list i will continually update until this thread dies (next week)


chef
jojoface
leafo
rone rivendale
vellfire
dicko
geodude
nikuru
dada
me,
big ass skelly
unguided
dr. ears
dilby.net/drule
biggles
shadow kirby
crotchkneed
wyatt
hundley
master tea

and mine's in my signature. let me make a comparison: while facebook is centered around the exchange of information like pictures of people you don't care about, twitter is about writing jokes and jokewriting. twitter is not, as the general populous likes to think, about "getting in the showr" "look at this funky meal i ate!!" "rollin, grindin boys at the club" etc. (that's to say, plenty of people use twitter that way, but that only means they are so fresh for the picking.) the cool thing about twitter is that it's completely open, so it's basically like the whole wide internet concentrated into one website. i follow countless people i'd otherwise have no connection with, for instance the PR rep for weev/freeweev/goatse security (the att/ipad security breach guys), countless fyads who would otherwise call out my username for lurking and caring, the whole Alvin Greene thing featured on CNN started on twitter. there's an account for a "Sonichu" (troll buddy), obscure standup comedians, internet personalities, authors, everything all made concentrate into a jokey goldmine for your creative pleasure.


so twitter is for jokeing and trolling and that's all, huh? wrong again!! you can use twitter for personal therapy, too, and tell everybody in the world about how scrambled your childhood was/how you don't know how to interact in a socionormative environment/etc. at least, i use twitter for this after i get out of therapy every tuesday. they say not to let your tweeter cross over into your real life, but i know a few neurotypicals from irl who follow me (who all know the depressing truths that formed my pathologic). here is a shameless self-promotion. hopeing to see you all on the twitters soon!!

I tweet about Pro Wrestling, both WWE/TNA as well as POBYW (my own promotion).

I also tweet endlessly about my work week and other pointless things.
Peace and Love

I've been MIA for well over a month now. I'm planning on returning shortly after I finish a political blog (since that's what I use Twitter for). @msikma and @michielsikma (latter is English)

It's not too bad, barring the weather, but I figure if I can live here and have an optimistic attitude about most everything, I can live anywhere.

i actually enjoyed the amount of snow, it made my transplant from up north much easier. my first winter there was the second worst for centuries or whatever ('08-'09), everybody was complaining about how terrible the weather was and "why did i go to this school" and i was being solitary in the cold forest ._.


here's a twitter gem for yall: fake obama account @BarackObma (now defunct and banned) still has a favstar page that's great to read through. a few select tweets:

Last night, I had a dream that all the fish died, and we were finally free to live under the sea in ornate coral cities.

Egypt is burning, and all Michelle can talk about is roleplaying with her as Cleopatra and myself as a eunuch.

Quote
NASA has informed me that there is an egg at the heart of the sun, and that when it hatches, magic will be real again. Hmm.


i fucked up my text size in this post and can't figure it : (
