I'm Kelly and I'm not in LA anymore, which is exciting. But probably only for me and the husband, because now I don't really have much craziness to talk about. I'm still checking up on you all from time to time though.

“ And here, my friends, is the problem with Twitter: Everyone wants to believe that everyone else thinks they’re important, because everyone, at their core, is a narcissist. And how better to give yourself an inflated sense of importance, than to think that there are groups of people who are reading a 140 word post you’ve written that says, “Going to the store to look for cereal. Hope they have Chex! ” -

Oh, You Have 70 Thousand Twitter Followers? Congratulations, Shitbag. (via jessicalindsey)

Yes, the guy referenced is of course a total douche. Ugh, “People have called me…” But, can’t you just replace the word Twitter in this quote with Tumblr, or blogging, or Facebook status updates? Except that in some other venues, you’re asking people for more of their time to read your crap that doesn’t matter? We all do it in all sorts of places- singling out Twitter as being inherently douchey doesn’t really make any sense. Because I kind of just like to know what my favorite British people and favorite people in real life are up to. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t follow them. And I certainly don’t expect anyone to follow me- it’s just an easy way for me to keep tabs on what I’ve been doing because I have the memory of a goldfish these days. Plus, now my officemate and I don’t have to have the “How was your weekend?” conversation on Monday mornings because we already know. Sometimes we don’t even talk to each other at all on Mondays. Okay, that’s not really healthy, but it makes me laugh.
