And so it begins...

[laliandra]

I am twitterpated! (thank you shiningartifact)

http://twitter.com/laliandra

TA-DA!

I blame Isi. She said it was good for procrastination and mild stalking, and I am powerless to resist such lures. Enchanted, ensnared etcetc

Um. Now what does one do?

Apart from make large eyes at mcollinknight . Kaz is here too. JOIN USSSSSSS.

If I am supposed to say what I'm doing, it's writing about the weapon that is deathly politeness, househunting and pining for my ebook of The Demon's Covenant which I was cruelly dragged from. WOE.

And that is surely more than 140 characters of what I'm doing. My life is so complex, y'all! :D!

See, I will still need LJ. You can just use twitter to remind me about all the things I said I'd post...

So, er, follow me? Or something?

"Follows"

I didn't really "get" twitter until I began to use it as a way to extract information from people in my chosen field of work. Limiting yourself to 160 characters forces you to condense information in very creative ways sometimes.
I also didn't really get it until i got tweetdeck. Don't get tweetdeck. It will take over your life with cute little tweeting noises (yes, you can turn them off, but it makes me happy :)

[littlered2.livejournal.com]

Hm ... I love procrastination and stalking, but also rambling like mad. I'm currently trying to hold out against Twitter, but my resolve is going to crumble eventually, I think.

[pigrescuer.livejournal.com]

i am like littlered, i am holding out against twitter (likei did agianst facebook XD)

BUT

did you know you can link it so your tweets come up on your LJ so us nontweeters can see them?

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

yay! Having followers make me feel like I'm in a cult. Even more than usual. Which is not that often, mostly days when I wear my demon's mark necklace.

Should I ask about tweetdeck?

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

See. I will always have LJ for my rambles...

I have so little resolve about these things!

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

I did, but I'm not sure if I will. Non tweeters can still see them over on twitter. LJ is for LJing, to me.

Good luck with the holding out!

Basically it means that you get twitter updates automatically without having to be on twitter, it pops up a little notification when someone you're following posts something or someone @mentions you. You can also watch #hastag feeds (like I watch the #takeitback feed so whenever someone tweets with that tag it tells me.

Many funs, also I hate the twitter interface so it's a good thing for me.
Plus you can tweet to facebook :)

[cellophane_ria.livejournal.com]

Hm. Is it considered bad form to check your twitter without having one myself? Uh, I need a Internet for Young Ladies or something.

Are you really househunting? Exciting!

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know about general practice, but I would not consider it bad form at all. I would be delighted! (also I sued to do this ALL THE TIME)

I am! For somewhere to rent with my boyfriend. It is slightly hampered in that I do not have a job right now, but never mind.

Househunting suuuuuucks, though.

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND YOUR BOOM DE YADA, FOR SRS.

OKAY NOW WHAT SHOULD MINE BE CALLED? EVERYTHING I OWN IS MCOLLINKNIGHT, I FEEL LIKE TWITTAH SHOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IS THERE A CHARACTER LIMIT ON USERNAMES? LOL

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I AM ALWAYS DONE WORK AFTER THE BOOKSTORE IS CLOSED SO I STILL HAVEN'T BOUGHT/PREORDERED/READ DC YET WOE IS MY LIIIIIFE.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

WHAT? I LIKE THAT SONG *G*

THERE IS A LIMIT IT IS ONE LESS THAN SARAHREESBRENNAN BECAUSE SHE HAS TO BE SARAHREESBRENNA. THIS MUCH I KNOW. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR SECRET ALTER EGO TO BE, MLLE C?

I DEFIED AMAZON.COM AND BOUGHT MY VERY FIRST EBOOK. IT HAS AMERICAN SPELLINGS :/. BUT IT IS AMAZING! SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

ME TOO :D (IT'S MY RINGTONE :/)

ALSO I'M LISTENING TO ORIANTHI RN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE OPENER FOR MY ADAM CONCERT (NO ALLISON NOOOOOOOOO THIS IS WHY I NEED TWITTER, SO I CAN INFORM HER OF MY INTENSE SADNESS) AND I DON'T THINK I LIKE THEM. AND APPARENTLY THEY SUCK LIVE? NOOOOO ADAM WHYYY. W/E W/E AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO BIEBS AT THE CONCERT.

I DON'T KNOW! I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE A QUOTE? OR SHOULD IT BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO MY LJ/RL NAME SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S ME? OR SHOULD I JUST BE GLAMBERT10769 OR IWANNASEEYOUSTRU? LAWLZ. KNOWING LIFE THOSE ARE PROBABLY ALREADY TAKEN AHAAA.

OH EW. IT ALWAYS MAKES ME SAD FOR 'U' WHEN THEY SCORN IT.

[luchalibrarian.livejournal.com]

I has followed you! Same un as here. :-D

[cellophane_ria.livejournal.com]

Then I will politely stalk you. :D

Oh my. Not having job could be actually a good thing when it comes to househunting? I mean, it's like buying a computer you don't have money for--it sort of creates the need for universe to make that job happen? Or so I say myself.

I like househunting, you know? Perhaps because I love seeing the different places, and it's all like having lots of dollhouses (on the internet). Though it's a bit saddening to see that right now I can't afford even the <20m2 flats in town. Well. Good luck to you, anyway!

[shiningartifact.livejournal.com]

Awwww. No Allie at your tourstop? That is sadness indeed.

I wanted to mention that Orianthi is a person, though she does have a backing band. She is this chick who is an amazing guitarist (and does the solo in Sleepwalker on Adam's album, which means that she'll probably do it live in the concert, which is cool).

She has a single out right now that I hate. They're trying to make her a pop star which I think is ridiculous since she very clearly rocks hard (and the singing - not so much). Oh well.

Anyway anyway anyway, when you decide on a twitter name, you should post about it so I can follow you. :)

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

Yay, you are part of the great big twitter family now! It's like having tons of awesome cousins and annoying aunts! Not that I know what it's like with either of them.

I think keeping LJ for LJing is a fine idea; I do link to my LJ entries on twitter, but I don't import my tweets to LJ. I think it's like- if people want to know what I'm tweeting, they can always stalk me on twitter! :)

[playwithfyr.livejournal.com]

You have twitter? Do I have you on twitter? if not, why not?

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

FUCKING TWITTER KEEPS CRASHING ON ME ughhh I am so unlocking my tweets the moment the damn site lets me do something on it again. I also forsee having to clickclickclick to get them to recognize that YES, I do want to follow you.


AUGHHHHH twitterraaaaaaaaaaage

PS I like your twitter icon bb ;DD

PPS YES YES C SHOULD GET ONE TOO

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

I think I just found you! How could we miss out on the fact that we're both on twitter? BTW, I know I have been bad and not written a letter in a long time, but there will be one soon!

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

:D awesome! So many people have Twitter!

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! You can be an honorary awesome cousin of mine, then.

This is what I think also. They are two very different things, basically, and I like to ramble. And yes, I am encouraging people to stalk me politely through my twitter. I am totally ok with that.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

I think that you are already following me and I am also following you. We shall go round in circles! AAH RAGE.

I was actually planning on just making it my tiny chibli face, but I couldn't be bothered to, you know, actually make that happen. I am SO LAZY. It is still one of my favourite things in the world EVVER.

Yes! We just need to think about what her name should be...

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THAT WE ARE SCORNING LOSERCASE.

THAT IS SO AWESOME! HMMM. THAT IS SUCH A GOOD RINGTONE IDEA. HMMMMMM.

IT IS SAD THAT YOU WILL NOT GET ALLI! MAYBE SHE WILL COME TO LE CANADA OF HER OWN ACCORD SOMEDAY. YEAH, WHAT SHININGARTIFACT SAID ABOUT ORIANTHI. SHE WAS ON IDOL ONE WEEK AND IT WAS NOT PRETTY. BUT MAYBE LIVE WILL BE BETTER! YOU WILL STILL HAVE ADAM. :D:D:D:D

KNOWING THE INTERNET, PROBABLY. YOU SHOULD BE COLLINETHEFUCKINGFABULOUS :D. THE NAMING OF CS IS A SERIOUS THING, OKAY. YOU MUST CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH. AND THEN ONCE YOU DO I CAN SPAM YOU ABOUT RANDOM THINGS AND ALSO FIC.

I KNOOOOOOW. AND BLOND WOMEN. AND GYM CLASS. ICK.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Mostly at the moment it is just me being excited whenever someone follows me. I like having followers. It makes me feel so important \o/

Oh my indeed. It does make one extremely motivated, at least!

I don't mind looking at the actual houses, although I have been walking everywhere and that is pretty tiring. I am so very nosy, and love to see what the insides of other people's houses look like. Hopefully the sucky parts will have ended and we can just do the fun parts where I get to imagine living in all kinds of rooms.

Thank you dearest!

i heart your icon

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

No, for some unknown reason Alli is not coming to Toronto, alas :( I am so sadface, I love her a ridiculous amount.

THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION, I did not know about the guitarist thing! Apparently she is not as good live? OH WHATEVER, WHY AM I PRETENDING I CARE ABOUT OPENING ACTS ANYWAYS LOL.

I definitely will! I am still so torn and idealess.

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES AND STAND BY IT.

DOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEET. IT'S KIND OF OBNOXIOUS NOW THAT IT WAKES ME UP BEFORE 6 AM ALL THE TIME, BUT NONETHELESS I AM PLEASED WITH IT.

I LIVE IN HOPE! BUT TO SEE HER AND ADAM TOGETHER WOULD HAVE BEEN TRULY EPICSAUCE. AM I ALLOWED TO HOPE THAT ORIANTHI GETS STREP THROAT AND THEY HAVE TO ~~~BRING IN ALLI AS A BACKUP? THOUGH REALLY AS I SAID ABOVE WHY I AM PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT OPENING ACTS I DO NOT KNOW. AS THE OPENING ACT FOR GAGA IS JASON DERULO, AND THAT IS JUST A NO ON SO MANY LEVELS.

TOO MANY CHARACTERS. PERHAPS CTHEFUCKINGFABOULOUS? BUT PERHAPS I SHOULD MAKE IT PG? AHHH IDK IDK I AM STILL SO IDEALESS.

WHAT DO YOU CALL GYM CLASS? PHYS-ED?

Re: i heart your icon

[shiningartifact.livejournal.com]

Isn't that icon best? My keyword for it is "adisonbesteveromg", which pretty much sums up my feelings. I also love my Allie/Kris one, which features snuggies. :)

Anyway, yes, Orianthi is an amazing guitarist, so at the very least she will rock her Sleepwalker solo, I would imagine. :)

And yes, truly - Adam is going to be more than enough concert for anybody. :D

Regarding the twitter name, I will say that I'm a fan of using the same handle that you do for other things, because then it's easy for people to find you. Just a thought. :)

[isil-helyanwe.livejournal.com]

I'm following you on Twitter.

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] me</a>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I'm following you on Twitter. <a href="http://twitter.com/SunBrightSparro"This is me</a>, but I don't really use it, except I think it's linked up to <a href="http://margalarg.tumblr.com/">my Tumblr account</a> so it says whenever I post something on there.

Ugh, sometimes it's hard having a limitless number of online outlets for my pointless opinions.
