Date: 2009-09-26 02:02 pm (UTC)I don't either. Count me in with the Luddites, I guess. I don't see the need to keep the world updated with my minute by minute breaths. A while back a few of my flist were updating with 'twitters', which made absolutely no sense to anyone else except the person they were responding to. I automatically skipped that entry. I'm glad that trend seems to have stopped.

Date: 2009-09-26 06:33 pm (UTC)for example (taken from the last two weeks):
-Aussie bar tonight in Paris!!!!
-French boy1 e-mailed me!!!!
-fb-chatting with both American boy AND guitar boy. great life.
-slept half the day instead of drinking myself into a stuper. praying the kids will behave this afternoon.
so yeah, some people update boring stuff, but most of my friends update with interesting things, like about job interviews or meeting people or song lyrics or their evening plans. so i love twitter.
