How I Got Oprah Another Follower On Twitter
Last night I was talking to a dear friend about Twitter. She refuses to join it. And she thinks it’s stupid. GASP. Note To Self: From this moment on, all new friends must have an established and active Twitter account. Next Note To Self: How do I rid myself of people who call themselves my friend, but don’t even know my Twitter Handle. Specifically…this so called friend.
I joke. Good friends are very rare these days. And besides… she bakes the best cupcakes. I need her in my life. Good cupcakes, like $50 bottled water, are almost non-existent.
She: Twitter is stupid. It’s just instant messaging gone wrong.
Me: Twitter is all that is right with this world. Twitter saves people. It’s a miracle worker and a healer.
She: It’s a big waste of time.
Me: Martha Stewart is on Twitter.
She: Big deal.
Me: Oprah is on Twitter too. And she’s a really big deal.
She: Did you just call Oprah fat?
Me: Um…no. I would never call Oprah…your idol fat.
She: Yes. You. Did.
Me: No. I. Didn’t.
She: How would you like it if I joined Twitter, just so I could tell Oprah you called her fat?
Me: {thinking to myself} Mission Accomplished.
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Very clever LOL

I’m with your friend, I really don’t understand Twitter. I haven’t joined and really don’t plan on it. To make things worse, I am not even on Facebook.

No Twitter or Facebook? Somebody hold me! I kid. At times, I wish I hadn’t joined myself. I would have lots of extra time on my hands.

I’m with Mrs. C You have to do what you have to do. I hate when people that don’t know how to social media look at me like I am crazy because I do. I now give them the side eye like they are lames. LOL

I love outsmarting my friends. It proves something I’ve been preaching for years: that they are lucky to have me! Somehow they fail to realize and appropriately appreciate this fact.

It’s amazing how this is either for you or not. I admit I had that same opinion about Facebook way back when, but really it was more like, “I don’t want another thing to do! Whine!” Now I’m a freaking expert on this stuff – at least compared to the people in my real life circle. Love Twitter. Love it. Love it. I don’t utilize it to it’s utmost, I’m sure, but it’s so darn easy to vent to the world and maybe tweet some sense into the people as a bonus!

Twitter is so addictive, but I am mostly communicating with new friends. I had not thought of tricking my real life friends into joining me. Off to manipulate. Thank you!

I’ve decided to go ahead and grant your wish. There is room for two of me:)

That was perfect! Funny too. I still am not sure about twitter. I do use it but really just for my blog. I don’t really quite get it yet. It is like you have to be there watching 24 hours a day because things just zoom right by! Am I missing something?

And I don’t mean to quote myself, because that would signal I’m really into myself…but…”Twitter is all that is right with this world. Twitter saves people. It’s a miracle worker and a healer.” Yes, you are missing lots:)

hehe. Makes me realize that I”ve NEVER looked at Oprah’s Twitter page. So, uh, can we get back to that cupcake part?
