I MAY have started using twitter. This isn't to say I didn't have a twitter before...I just didn't really use it. But, and I don't know why really, a couple of weeks ago I just started using my twitter like nobody's business.
I like twitter because I feel like it is my avenue to vent my feelings without a filter. I don't have all that many "followers" and those who do follow me that I actually know don't really check their twitter feed all that often. This makes me feel like I am able to just vent whatever I am feeling in the moment.
I can't really do that with the big 'ol fb. There are too many people who would, I don't know, call me and ask why I am so freaked out...or tell my mom...which could be worse...when really I am just being hormonal or angsty and freaking out about something that doesn't deserve a freak out.
I also like twitter because I feel like I can give updates more frequently on the mundane things of my life and not feel like a total #weirdo. If I am in the middle of a paper or a project, I tweet about it. It helps me feel motivated in a sense...I get to constantly talk about how much more I have gotten done on whatever it is that I am doing.
However, I seriously HATE retweets. I don't care what your friend said that was funny...I follow you, not your friend. Or, if you are a celeb, I really don't need to know more about what your fans think of you. Thank the heavens that I can turn of retweets.
I don't know everything about twitter yet. But I am definitely enjoying the learning process.
