I'm trying to forget the whole thing ever happened.
My first reason for saying goodbye to twitter was the failure of the most important feature; the part where you search for other twitter users that you know. This annoyed me almost to the point of hysterics.
Secondly, but perhaps more importantly, I had my account open for exactly 48 hours and it was already taking over my life. In all seriousness, folks, twitter is a dangerous, time-sucking monster that wants to steal your soul.
I am ashamed to admit that I actually believed I could handle another social networking site in my life, but boy was I wrong. Not only did I find myself updating my status every time I turned on my computer, but I started responding to other people's tweets like it was going out of style.
The extra-tricky thing about twitter is the fact that you begin to believe the celebrities and corporations whom you "follow" actually read what you tweet. Shortly after this, you begin to believe that they actually CARE what you tweet. And it's all downhill into a sad world of dark delusions from there.
Thankfully, I was able to free myself from the quicksand that is twitter before I was out of reach of the solid tree branch called REALITY. But it was a close one.
I'll stick with facebook for now. At least until school is done and I can afford an iphone. :)
In other news, after an evening of frantic study I still don't speak very good "Pharmacoleese" but, gosh durn it, I'm gonna fake it til I make it!
