I'm a Twit

This bout of sporadic posting and commenting brought to you by our sponsors:

Grad School Applications

Work Deadlines - Bet you can't have just one

Stop Me Before I Volunteer Again Active Wear

and

Twitter - Because who wouldn't respond to being busy by signing up for yet another social networking site?

But seriously, I swore I'd hold out, but something came over me (I believe the technical term is "procrastination") and I signed up for Twitter.  If you're already among the 140-character damned, I'm on there as ba_barnett.  I've found a few of you flist types on there already, but there's plenty of room for more in my procrastinatory roster.

Noooooooooooo! Another Twitter casualty. ;)

Yes, I have given into the dark side. I heard there were cookies. :)

They lied! There are no cookies. NONE!

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of me munching on these DELICIOUS COOKIES!

:p

You knew you had to, sooner or later :)

I think I held out for an admirably long time. :)

Following you, like a stalker ;)

[identity profile] babarnett.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Stalking right back. :)

WOW, Barbara's on Twitter. And it seems I was the first person you followed. I am honored, though you must know I only twit once or twice a month. Real life keeps getting in the way. ;-)

I was so amazed when you joined Twitter that you were the first person I remembered was on there when I signed up. The power of shock. :)

But keep letting real life get in the way. Keeps things fun. :)

Welcome to the dark side. It's fun over here. *g*

[identity profile] babarnett.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to the fun. And the cookies. I've been told that the dark side has cookies.

[identity profile] stillnotbored.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
There are cookies. And like all good internet cookies, they are calorie free. :)

[identity profile] babarnett.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the best kind of cookie. Excellent!

The nice thing about Twitter is that you can spend as much or as little time on it as you want. I worried about the time thing, but it's pretty easy to control, I find, as long as you don't have the illusion that you can read everything everyone else tweets!

So far it's been easy not to spend too much time on there, but only because Twitter won't load on the computer I currently spend most of my day on...which I of course tweeted about once I was on my home computer. :)
