Twitter is something I joined back in 2008. I cancelled the account because I didn't really see the point in it and didn't really see my purpose for it. I re-signed up for it in March 2009 for much different reasons than 2008. My purpose for it was still not yet defined. I know that with a limited number of characters I wanted my tweets to be interesting. And maybe raise a couple of eyebrows.
It's been over 2 years now and over 1600 followers later. Not sure where all those people came from, but I do appreciate them and the fact that they'd want to read my tweets and what is kept hidden in the corners of my mind that I would never say out loud.
Over the past couple of years, I've become a bit uncensored. I've talked about body parts. I've talked about feminine issues. I've talked about the fact that I'm a glutton. I've basically talked about anything that could be deemed embarrassing to utter out loud in front of your mom. Oh, I've also talked about your mom.
Here's the thing. If you know me, you know that my twitter persona is just that. If you know me and have had conversations with me? You know that I'm not this crass in real life. You know that I've got a sense of boundaries of where I would take conversations in real life and you should KNOW that I would never have extensive conversations with you about my vagina.
Enter this tweet:
I wrote this in response to a video that was made by someone who at one point I had talked to somewhat regularly. I'm not naming names here as that's not what this post is about. My problem with this is that you should know that my tweets are jokes and that they should be taken with a grain of salt. My long-time blogger followers should know this. Especially those I've known and have gained a friendship with from my early blogging days. It kind of pissed me off that a remark to this extent was made on this video. That person did unfollow me.
I guess it's just sad that someone who I supported and had friendly chats with in the past and could still share friendly emails with, instead of saying something to me about the content of my tweets, chose to do so in a video and then instead of saying something to me about the video, just chose to easily follow my instructions and unfollow me.
I know this sounds petty, but this has bothered me a little. Not too much, but enough to write this post. I'm sure that I'm being childish too, but sometimes I respond to passive-agressiveness with passive-agressiveness.
Not sure what will come of this. Doubt he gives a shit or that he'll even read this. Either way, I'm still thankful that I know him and still wish him well.
