Well after being asked a few times if I had a blog, I decided today to ask my twitter friends if anyone would actually read it.
So here we are....only one problem...my mind has now gone totally blank!! As I lay in the bath earlier I thought of a multitude of things I could write about, but now as I sit poised over my keyboard...nothing...not even a dickey bird...ho hum.
Suppose we could start with my weekend.
Saturday
Nothing , Nada..didn't do a thing...this is due to the fact that it was my first day off in 14 caused by a small spot of weekend overtime. Well that is not entirely true because as usual I was on twitter some of the day, in between watching the TV and a little housework...which is Jen speak for killing time until MotoGP qualifying came on.
So maybe I should talk about my fascination for Twitter...what is it about Twitter that has loads of us hooked. I'm more than sure that I fit into the category of Twitterholic as find myself logging on at any opportunity, to see what is being said and who is about. My particular favourite at the moment is having a sneaky tweet...
sneaky tweet - a tweet when one should be doing something else IE working!.
I have tried all the likes of bebo, myspace, facebook, msn but none of them have captivated my interest for as long. I am putting this down to the fact that Twitter is instant. I am typically impatient and twitter therefore satisfies my needs to be instantly updated. I of course would be interested to know why YOU think twitter is so popular.
I was forced to get dressed and leave the house for essentials - a carpet picnic!! When I returned home..yup you guessed it...twitter. I turned the TV on to await the qualifying.
For those of you who have crossed over from Twitter to read this and actually tweet with me on a regular basis, you'll know I'm a little bit (understatement of the year!!) of a James Toseland fan. When Twitter sprung into action on my desktop, I was totally humbled by peoples generosity, as I had received a pile of JT photos, and a message from the lovely Suzi Perry about weather conditions and JT's morning warm up. It appears my....(I'm trying to find the right words)...healthy or unhealthy interest in Mr Toseland has gone global, well at least as far as Twitter is concerned. Probably having Mrs Toseland as my tag name and my Toseland Twibbon is making it a little obvious.
Which brings me to another Twitter act of kindness that I feel I must mention. Last week I asked if anyone could make me a Twibbon to show my support for James...I really didn't expect anyone to answer...wrong...within seconds @DavidForster had come to my rescue and by the afternoon I had my wish and a smashing Twibbon...cheers David.
MMM...to think earlier I was struggling what to write, and now I'm rambling on like Victor Meldrew.
Qualifying gets started and I'm frantically trying to tweet and watch TV at the same time. Which usually ends in me having a spell in TwitterJail (caused by too many tweets per hour)and the odd over excited self tweet (a reply to yourself instead of another user). Twitter gets really busy (well at least for me) when MotoGP is on. Q loads of like minded Twitter/MotoGP fans such as @djmissfrenchie (who does an excellent rate the race report for @motoracereports formally @motogptalk)@shadwell1970, @evilnanny, @bev43 to name but a few, all discussing qualifying results...its my favourite twitter time apart from #FollowFriday but we'll not go it that today (phew I hear you saying)
The rest of the night was spent tweeting with Twitter friends and mainly my bestest twitter buddy and partner in crime @Mirantha and @evilnanny, along with the occasional very funny one liner from @SuziPerry.
And so you have it...my Saturday...my Blog.....and enough for now.
As Columbo would say "just one last thing"...if by chance you are reading this and you haven't had the Twitter experience, I urge you to try it you....you won't regret it.
Goto http://www.twitter.com/ and create your account and your ready to go and follow some really interesting people, naturally I include myself in that category. I can be found under the name of weeyin13. Come follow me!!
As usual any comments would be welcomed..that is if you haven't fallen asleep reading this.
Cheers
Jen
