Random Thoughts on Twitter or Reflections of a Co-dependant



Tweeting is a lot lot fishing. You throw your line in and wait for a bite.



Often times, you don't even get a nibble so you reel it back in and cast out another lure.


Still nothing? Fine. Ignore me. I'll try this bigger, better lure.



BAM! I got some nibbles but didn't reel anyone in. I'm gonna switch techniques and do more of a fly fishing approach.



Oh, you don't know the difference? Damn city girls. Regular fishing means you throw your line in and be patient. Fly Fishing requires that you rapid fire your line..snap, snap, snap - to simulate a moving target. For the fish with ADD - ooh! Shiny!! Switching tactics would mean that I just start commenting everywhere and anywhere trying to illicit a response.



From anyone. Pay attention to me, I'm needy.

Laugh at my jokes, I'm needy.

Tell me I'm brilliant, I'm needy.




Twitter just reinforces the fact that I'm co-dependant and needy, damnit. That's what my Glee shirt says, Co-Dependant.




Validate me. Tell me I'm worthy.

Wait, what? Where was I going with all of this?

Oh..Twitter is just a place to go fishing for validation.



Don't forget!

LOL! Seriously Heidi you are too funny! It does kind of stink when you tweet something and nobody responds:) BTW, I would totally go see Bridesmaids with you if it wouldn't take me a whole to get from way down here to way up there:)

LOL. You're a nut! Girl, I'm all about TWEETING my TWITTER off to draw "woo" people to my blog. I rarely get COMMENTS (my slack blog friends!), but I do get a lot of hits (thanks to the "stats" option now, I can monitor it. Twitter has really increased my hits.

I'm all about advertising myself. lol

Love ya.

I'm not the tweeting type. It confuses me...plus i'm not witty enough, nor is my life exciting enough, to tweet. No one wants to hear about me doing laundry. lol

Leah said...

LOVE IT! So spot on!

I go on twitter when I'm feeling lonely and want someone to talk to.
