Why, yes! It could be a sign of the end.

I'm twittering.  That is to say, I've created an account.  I'm currently thinking I'll only be following at the website, since my phone is off 99% of the time and I like it that way, but I may some day opt to tweet *shudder* from my phone or my kindle.

I gave in because of Caitlin Kiernan first.  She held out against twitter with all the confusion and contempt that I had for it.  And then recently she opened an account seemingly out of the blue and started twittering her newest book, one sentence a day.  I have the book on pre-order, but I still wanted those sentences ASAP!

So I was thinking that maybe I should give in too.  Not only was I wanting to follow one of my favorite authors, but one of my nearest and dearest is about to have a baby, and I'm way too many miles away from her.  She twitters, and I'd long ago considered that I might sign up when her due date got closer so I could get the baby info ASAP.

Still, I procrastinated.  And then Algernon admitted to twitting this morning, and I thought, "Everyone really is doing it."

I'm really starting to feel like I'm missing out on a modern phenomenon.  I held out against LJ at first too, and MySpace.  ...I was right about MySpace though.  I'll be deleting that soon here.

So there I am now.  Will I use it?  Probably.  Often?  Maybe.  *shrug*  Like I said, I don't keep my cell phone on, but then again, since I don't use my phone, I have a ton of time banked up on it that I could use.  I probably won't be following too many people because I don't need another major distraction, but again, who knows?  I'm currently planning on using it first as a micro-blog, for big thoughts and things that can be shared in few words, and secondly to extend outing invitations to local friends and hopefully get more quality time with my peeps while still being able to make spontaneous plans.

So, yeah.  Twitter.  Seriously.  I'm still skeptical, but we'll see how this goes.

When I was creating my account, it told me my name was too long.  My *legal name*.  HA!  I KNOW!!!  :)
