tweet tweet

hello all. i need to reflect. you may all think i write this for your entertainment, but really it's my therapy session. [....and how does that make you feel?]


update:
herman has not telephoned but bravely approached me at the gym again a few days after our reunion. again, he caught me off guard, as it was more of him bravely sneaking up behind me. i had just got there so i was not sweaty nor a tomato shade. this time-my pants were on backwards. luckily, i'm pretty sure i was the only one aware of this. like before, he seemed to be in a hurry so there was even less small talk than before. i'm just glad he didn't hug me.


so, i recently made my own twitter account - mostly because i was seriously bored over christmas break and so i can stalk my girl crush, nicole richie (post her simple life days, of course). but i discovered something interesting...

...celebrities are obsessed with twitter. not all of them. but a lot of them. and not just celebrities, but people in general. exhibit A: kelly osbourne ranting about her now ex-fiance after xmas (which she deleted a lot of them off) and every other detail of her personal life. i was scared just reading the tweets. i could feel her yelling and in my head i saw kelly osbourne ripping her hair out, screaming at her computer as she punched the keyboard with her black nails. or a butcher knife. personally, i think he looks like an anorexic transvestite. probably because he posed for Candy - the first fashion magazine dedicated to cross dressing.

exhibit B: chelsea handler twitting pictures every 20 minutes of her dogs and her book agent, of whom she makes very clear is a homosexual-with every word and depiction>> existing for that label. i acutally enjoy this. i like having a visual paired with words. she's hilarious. and i love her for her whole relationship scandal with 50 cent. personally, i approve. who doesn't love a thug-rapper with bullet wound scars and a criminal record?

i could continue with examples but it would probably be boring. my point is - people love it. people try to tell me that they don't understand twitter. they tell me that they don't understand why people have the need to tell people what they are doing every hour of the day. but most of all they say, "who cares?"

we care. we are obsessed with knowing about other people's lives. it's the same reason why reality tv is such a hit (although 90% of that isn't real). we're curious-it's human nature. and there is no "not understanding" of twitter. it's a simple concept. as for the "need to tweet", i don't find it surprising that celebrities are twitter crazy. if they didn't like the spotlight, they wouldn't be in it advertising their lives. as for the rest of us, some people just want to be heard, some are just curious, and some are just bored.

whatever the reason, i've gotten a fair share of entertainment from it.
