Twitter

So, I got a Twitter account about a month ago in order to follow feministhulk, who I read about somewhere on the internet during my endless hours on the internet. I signed up, clicked follow, and told myself that that would be all - I would not tweet. Ever. But then Trueblood told me (on Facebook) that if I tweeted their stupid message about whatever, I would get to see an Exclusive Scene from the New Season (which premieres Sunday! so excited!). So I did. But! I said, that is all. No more tweeting. We are done.

And then my friends at work starting asking me if I had a twitter. "Yes," I'd say, "but I only got it to follow feministhulk." Totally justified, I'd think smugly. They would then urge me to actually, you know, use it. Finally, I broke down. (And when I say broke down, I mean I wanted to be included in all this @whoever in-joke stuff that was going on around me.) I logged in, changed my username from my actual name to a fake name, and randomly tweeted an excerpt from a story I'd told my friends about T-rex. (It involved how after a fourth night in a row of pacing, I discovered an Eastie Beastie (don't click the links if you hate bizarre awful centipede creatures straight from Satan's nightmares) in my room, freaked out, killed it, and then sort of...left it in front of T-rex's door in a sleep-deprived act of revenge.)

From that point, I sort of threw myself into the whole endeavor. I changed my background to a picture I selected. (Cookies, obviously.) I changed the colors of the fonts and boxes. I found every member of the Glee and Community casts and am now "following" them. I found B and now we follow each other, which seems like a dog chasing its own tale, but whatever.

But now I'm sort of floundering. There is too much internet for me. Twitter asked me to list my "website, or blog." Wait, I thought. Should I list this blog? It is my blog, but... Then, I had a link I wanted to post somewhere. But suddenly, I had an overabundance of places to post it. When is it appropriate to tweet vs. facebook something? Can I do both? Is that redundant? Should I tell my Twitter about my blog? Should I tell my blog about Twitter?

I'm still not sure, but I have come to some semi-conclusions. I won't list my blog on any of my public profiles, for now. However, I will list my Twitter on my blog, in case anyone is interested, since there is no more information about me there then there is on here. I'm pepperpentangle, and if anyone is on Twitter, we should follow each other! It will be like the blind leading the blind! Doesn't that sound fun?
