Pointless Announcements

Dear diary, my teen angst bullshit now has a body count.

 

What? I don't use Twitter much (less than 150 tweets since I started my personal account more than four years ago), but I have 420 followers.

 

Less than 3 hours until my three day weekend!

Ha ha ha ha. DaddySquirrel's company is racist and he has to work on MLK day.

 

But you're okay?!

 

Going to Bangkok on Monday.

The protesters just took it up a notch.

I might not be going to Bangkok on Monday.

 

After a mostly gloomy, rainy week I'm really appreciating the sun today.

 

Wild night at The New Dodge. Woman already had her boyfriend hauled off by the police. Now, she is drunkenly trying to start a fight with everyone in the bar. Gonna be a hard act to follow.

 

Oops! The police just came back for her and now she's trying her best to play the victim. She left in cuffs.

 

But, they've got Ghettoblaster on tap, so I've got that going for me.

 

I have over 4,000 followers on Twitter. Retweet, mention and follow people to get more followers - smaller people will follow you easily when both of you have small numbers (they want to boost their numbers, too.....) Large # or famous tweeters probably won't follow you (at first) but by following them you build your own "thread" history that tells who you are, gives your followers something to read daily, too. Don't fall for the "I can get you followers" scams - you'll notice they usually have 25 followers LOL Don't follow "egg people" (as we call them) Look how many followers they have and check out their home page before you follow someone or your thread can get trolled, big time. Block jerks instead of wasting time on them.
If you can't think of anything to say - post a quote or link to something interesting to begin building your own persona.

I haven't been on it much lately, but it can be a lot of fun at certain times of day, with the right followers.
I have sev prominent politicians following me (to see what I'll say next ? LOL) ..... I tweet my opinions right @ them on their own twitter pages. When fed up with latest govt lies and corruption, you can publicly tell them off for it, just search and find their twitter @ Then every time it's retweeted, it reappears on their page again ROTFL
Or some people are more into celebrity, entertainment, all kinds of subjects - you can find people with same interests.

Learn about hash tags and there are "group lists" (I never did much with it, but many like all that)
I get on there to blow off steam, get the pulse of how everyone doing, news, laughs..... it can be addictive for some.
I'm way past that, but it is an election year so it will be quite lively there, I can promise that.

That's short version of how to build up your twitter account faster. Hope it helps and you enjoy your time there.

 

In about one month, I get to travel to a business meeting in southern California. It'll break my heart to leave the northeast cold, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
