A more polite person would wait to be asked why they're so happy
I'm not that polite though. You know that article I wrote yesterday? My favourite blogger saw it and plugged it to his followers on Twitter. Exciting enough, but then I sent him a message to say thanks and he replied saying he was going to plug me on his blog soon. Which is both deliriously exciting and terrifying. I also just got a phone call from a friend of mine who works in recruitment who thinks he's found a really good part time job I can do from home, which has also made me happy.

Are you going to be an Avon lady?

No
It's great. I'll be paid to rant about why the government are bastards essentially. And I'll get a laptop.

You're being a paid blogger?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:09, Reply)

No, it's hard to explain
It is essentially talking to people who use local services (diasbled people, etc) about problems they have encountered, and then advocating on their behalf to try and solve the problems.

Kicking arse and taking names from your sofa?
Nice.

Sofa?
If I had a laptop I'd never leave my bed.

But yeah, it sounds really good. I'm waiting for my mate to bring me all the details so I can apply for it.

Sounds good, hope all goes well!

That. Is. BRILLIANT
Very pleased for you on both counts. Very well done :-)

So that text I sent you actually had no effect. Gutted.

Oh oh oh oh AND
Two other bloggers I really like are following me on Twitter now.

I'm feeling extreme pressure to be interesting at all times now :/

No chance of that.

So much you used the 'word' "twanxiety"...

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:18, Reply)

Fucking hell
I'd just found out that the guy who writes 'No Sleep Til Brooklands' was following me. I think I can be forgiven for making up daft Twitter words.

No, you can't.

I will apologise for nothing.

It made me roll my eyes so much I think I dislodged a cornea

Nobody forced you to look.

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:26, Reply)

it was in my twitter feed.
Don't know why I bother with twitter really.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:28, Reply)

So you can stalk me
And roll your eyes when I make up words? I use it to follow bloggers and get news as it happens, and to shamelessly plug twaddle I write (which seems to work quite effectively). I like it, I'm a total convert to it. I'd rather be on Twitter than Facebook now, and that really is saying something.

It's saying "I'd rather have cancer of the face than cancer of the colon."

Yes, but you're both on facebook
if you hate it that much, why do you bother?
(berk, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:41, Reply)

Because many of my friends are idiots and will not communicate any other way.

(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:42, Reply)

To be fair,
this is also the only reason why I am on facebook. But I wouldn't say I particularly feel any hatred for it.
(berk, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:44, Reply)

That is because you have a soul instead of a seething ball of rage and hatred.

I knew it

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 6 Jan 2011, 11:44, Reply)

Because I don't hate it.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 6 Jan 2011, 12:00, Reply)

Pfft.
There's a new site which is a bit like Twitter, but threaded. I might have a look at that later.

I am far too obsessed with social networking sites for my own good.
