  6. i felt like a kid at sesame place running around seeing all the new stuff in this labyrinth like stadium
  7. there is something slightly magical about taking a picture touching the home run apple
  8. k-rod is an amazing pitcher to watch and no matter how he does, it’s awe inspiring to see him in action

Reasons why twitter is probably not for me April 3, 2009

You may have noticed that this blog had a twitter page for like a day and then I decided I hated it

  1. I talk to my friends all day long on email and when I’m not writing them, I’m probably with them. If something happens and I’m not by a computer and they aren’t around, I call or text. they are aware of my status’s. due to my inability to properly pluralize, we will call them ‘stati’ today.
  2. due to all the communicating with my friends that I do, I barely have any time left to have stati.
  3. how can a blog have feelings or stati anyways? I can have them, but the blog isn’t a real person. I know, it hurts.
  4. my stati usually don’t get interesting until like the 6th item on the list.
  5. true, I could just copy the 6th item of my status into twitter everytime, but then no one would read this blog except the manhattan young democrats.
  6. see, now there’s all this pressure for the 6th status to be awesome. and I am choking under the pressure like the post-season mets. If I were on twitter, it would be like this for every status that happened to me and I’d put on like 7 pounds of stress weight which I totally cannot afford now that I decided that I have to dress like a girl so I can get a boyfriend.
  7. doesn’t facebook cover stati? How many things do you have to join to be part of society? And doesn’t being at a computer this much writing about stati limit your ability to BE part of society? A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.
  8. you know what, this is my fault. I told everyone I hated the phone and now they won’t call and just assume I’m online all the livelong day. I am hereby officially retracting my no calling rule. If you are having an important status, just call me. I wonder if carol king had this in mind when she wrote ‘you’ve got a friend’.
  9. I will never understand the purpose of creating a fake profile for an imaginary television or movie personality.
  10. furthermore, it is thoroughly depressing that fictitious characters, some of whom don’t even exist anymore, are having better stati than me. starting my rainy Friday by listening to camera obscura was a decision I immediately regret.
