Being a Complete Twit
Well my friends, karma has officially come back to slap me in the face, kick me in the mouth, and all other heartfelt things that toy with my emotions. So, I totally blogged Saturday about all the narcissistic people on YouTube and Twitter who never follow anyone back due to all their selfish needs. Well I have a Twitter and I'm proud to be following 2,000 people with some odd 688 give or take awesome amazing rad hip lovely people following me in return! I know what you're think because obviously it's the same thing Twitter thought! I thought I was just being a nice sociable person, giving back and following all those who follow me. But apparently 2,000 is too much, and I have become a quote: "aggressive follower" in Twitter's book!?!!?! O_o Rawr? I don't think I'm that scary really! I mean I'm only 5'4"!! I get stomped on by trolls. Okay, but seriously I'm not allowed to follow anyone else until that amount of people start following me! So I took the time to go through all 2,000 of my follows and stop following everyone who wasn't up to par. The people who are trying to sell me stuff, phone calls all hours of the day is making up for you guys. Or people who made a twitter and never got around to using it...I'm just freeing up some space and losing some dead weight here. I'm sorry for those of you who got cut, but I like to follow people back who follow me and waiting until hundreds of twitters get the memo would take forever. I got down to roughly 1,010 and now I'm back up about 50 away from my limit, being careful of everyone I follow. I love twitter and at least I enjoy being social. I kind of get where Twitter is coming from when they say I couldn't possibly keep up with everyone. But I manage and always respond to everyone who talks to me. It's just the luck of the draw, seeing who you might come across any given day. It's also exciting to hear from different twitters and different perspectives every day. From 15 to 51 I try following people from all walks of life. People trying to start a band and become the next big thing or people who just want to keep in touch with their friends and make a few more at the same time. I follow people who have 8 friends to 8,000. Twitter to me isn't about getting my fifteen minutes, it's about having some fun on a rainy afternoon. About discovering some new music and talking movies. About trending topics and spreading the love. I'm sorry twitter is trying to restrict my fun, but that's what it sees fit. I don't consider my account a threat and apparently neither do my now 765 follows. I'm not being selfish here...I'm not trying to get all these people for myself. I'm just curious as to who is eating Chef Boyardee at 6:57p.m. and how many guys confess to loving Celine. And if curiosity is out to get me, well then this kitten is bringing out the claws!
