post script visions

from an iChat conversation

Matt: i am actually trying to remember the last time i saw you online… i think it might have been in october
that is probably a good thing

Myself: i haven’t been on AIM or iChatt in a very long time but i’ve been using everything else lol

Matt: like twitter and that stuff?

Myself: yea, i totally love twitter.

Matt: not up my alley, but if i did do it i’d probably twitter about me sitting up and down every three hours or so
since people need to know when i am standing or not. shits important.

Myself: LOL twitter’s cool bc you can say anything really

Matt: anything?

Myself: yeah why not? today i twittered about a frozen pizza that i was trying to make… that turned into my smoke alarm going off but the pizza ended up being okay. but then there’s other times when i’ll talk about work or a site i found or something.

Matt: last time i made a frozen pizza i set myself on fire. no joke.

Myself: dude that’s messed up. you need to go to like a home ec class or something.

Matt: well let me tell you how it happened. i go to pull it out of the oven and then the towel i was using touched the coils in the oven which sets the towel on fire and then my shirt. it wasn’t bad… i was able to blow it out with my powerful lungs. but the towel… i had to throw in the sink and let it die a slow and painful death.

Myself: oh man. that’s pretty scary!

Matt: i thought it was pretty funny, i was laughing through the whole thing. i dunno… appreciating how ridiculous the situation was.

Myself: that’s good, but i think it’s still scary

Matt: i mean, how many times have you gotten set on fire?

Myself: uh… none so far. i like it that way. granted i could end up LOVING being on fire but i could end up not really liking it too.

Matt: you never know till you try and think about it like this its something else to twitter about. “LOLZ I AM ON TEH FIRE”

Myself: LOL

Matt: but i would be really depressed for you if the first thing you think about while you are set aflame is twittering about the situation

Myself: oh man. Matt, get a twitter. you’ll like it.

Interesting, I’m not quite sure if this conclusion makes me lame or not. When I had my little car accident a few weeks ago, I did end up twittering about it pretty quickly by using my phone. It changed my facebook status, which alerted my sister and others, and she called to see if I was alright. It was just a way to tell others about my awful day. It was not the first thing I thought of.

The first thing I thought of was OMFG. I’M NOT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE. WTF JUST HAPPENED. WHY AM I IN A DITCH? IS MY CAR OKAY? *Proceed to break into tears about the whole situation and shock of getting into an accident and after seeing that i broked the car quite a bit.*  It was not an Oh I can’t wait to tweet this! moment.

Twitter poped into my mind after my dad came to help me. After I called my boyfriend crying about how I could no longer be his ride from Brooklyn to home and he was like babe, it’s okay I’m going to the subway now and my mom will be able to pick me up, don’t worry! After speaking with a few people that stopped on the road to see if i needed help. I tweeted about it when we were bringing the car back to the house. So I guess that was a fourth or fifth thought, but definatly not the first.
