Ok, I guess the correct term would be weirder.
Twitter has changed my life. I would like to say in all good ways, but then I would be lying. Or at least making a vague speculation.
You see, I'm not really Carolyn anymore. I am craftycmc.
Worse? I PREFER craftycmc!
I think in 140 character thoughts. I talk about a digital world most people don't understand. I actually say things like "Hashtag, Loser."
And now that I am a "Pre-Celebrity" in my own head but also on Twitter?
It is bad. I look at people that ignore me and think, "Don't they know who my on-line handle craftycmc is???????"
Um, obviously, no Carolyn. I am not even sure how many people ON twitter really care about craftycmc.
But that is the beautiful thing about RT rates and mention logs. They make me feel good about myself.
A cute guy looked at me funny because a Chihuahua squirmed inside my bra?
#Fine I'll just tweet about it and let my stream make fun of you (because as a "Pre-Celebrity" I can't appear petty #duh).
The truly bizarre thing is my family and friends are... joining me in my delusion. They not only know who crafty is, but call me "Crafty!"
They laugh when I say "Hashtag: Loser." They want to hear all about what's going on with my stalking and AJJ. They talk about my "Pre-Celebrity" status at parties. #likeIsaid #weird
I feel pressure now to actually, oh I don't know write good blogs because they now quote them. #superweird
Now when people ask me what is so great about Twitter? I tell them it is transformational.... into a shared, mass, delusional state #ok #Idonttellthemthatlastpart
So glad you could all join me!

Hey, twitter has certainly taken over my cyber-social life.
ReplyDeleteI've cancelled my Facebook account. Hell, the only people who bothered with me on there were people who ALREADY knew me. I don't want to social network with them: I can actually socialze with them; and anyway, they know exactly where to find me: on Twitter
Twitter supplies with me with a whole new bunch of people who'll befriend me for what I say and for who I am, and not shun me for what I might have ONCE said, or for who I may have upset a long time ago.
Carolyn, sorry, Crafty. What you need is a personalized twitter t-shirt so you can expand your twitter celebrity status to what's laughingly called 'the real world'
(I'll tweet you the URL to the site where you can order them)
Umm... that video about your book just scared the crap out of me!! Good thing I like scary books:) Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteA month ago we thought we were too old for twitter, we just didn't understand it... then we met you! Thanks to your celebrity status and genius in the mysterious ways of twitter, we now have to work hard to think outside of 140 characters when we're writing things other than tweets ;) We are converted twitter believers #manythankstoyou
ReplyDeleteTwitter has changed my life. I have made new friends and connected with people who have similar interests in a way that I never could on Facebook. I enjoy reading about what everyone is up to, and I have found an audience (albeit a small one) for my own views on life.
ReplyDeleteKeep on being you!

Twitter is amazingly fun, yet mostly pointless. Like the rest of the internet, only more so. Love the 140 char limit. Well, nice to meet you on twitter. twitter.com/bryanjacobson6
