4. I know!
I thought I'd post this since DU had its own Twitter frenzy the past couple o' days.

2. I think I'm about to hop on board the anti-Twitter train.
I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't turned on the TV and seen someone talking about Twitter. Enough already.

5. I was over it about a year ago.
Not that I ever hopped aboard. It'll flame out, like so many other gimmicks...

9. Thanks to the Daily Show, I finally found out what twitter is all about. I found I could
live without knowing and now I know I don't need it. I think that's a full circle.

15. If you're in the mood to kill some brain cells...
venture in.

--sorry to burst your bubble, dudes, but you asked: I'm having oatmeal.
--folding laundry.
--Chilling with Addy's friends and their cool parents for Addy's b-day ("cool" parents! LOL)
--Ah, warm belly of Japanese soup and tea. Time for relaxing...
--Watching Lost and then going to bed. I'm wiped!

You get the idea...

13. It's going to revolutionize the way we communicate!
Or so I've been told by a number of Twits, er, Twitterers, bless their little hearts.

17. except that i have a full keyboard, and it isn't done person-to-person on a cellphone.
i'm not a big cellphone user- i have a pre-paid "go" phone...at 25 cents/minute, i've used it about $70 worth TOTAL in the past 13 months.
