Quotes, and Twitter

I want people to keep going on the previous post, I'm finding it very interesting. But I have one idea, and one question.

A lot of bloggers have quotes about themselves on their page. I'm getting kind of jealous of this, because nobody says awesome things about me. On the other hand I do try to keep my ego in check at least a little bit, so I don't want to go begging for "she's awesome" quotes. So, instead, I'd like to have a contest for the most outrageous quotes about me that you can think of. They can, of course, be entirely fictional. Make them funny, make them deep, make them whatever you want as long as they're outrageous.

Submit your quotes to my email ( therealfarmgirl (at) gmail (dot) com ) and I'll publish them, and let everyone vote for their favorites. This is also a good excuse to get some more regular updates. The winners will get a place of honor on the sidebar.

Next, should I get a twitter account? I'm gone more than I'm here anymore, and I do occasionally throughout the day (and night) come up with things that could be considered amusing. Normally those things get shared with the same people who are inflicted with my not so amusing random things (like picture messages live from El Marto Del Wal wondering at the fact that you can buy a vibrating ring for your ding-a-ling there)- the people I know well enough to have exchanged phone numbers with. On the other hand, I think I can tweet (twit?) from my phone, so I could conceivably share these things with all of you as well.

The question is, would it be just yet another self-serving ego-stroker or would my loyal readers (seriously how am I still getting 100+ hits a day on this blog?!?? I love you guys.) be interested in my random thoughts?

I would love to hear from the lurkers on this as well, a simple comment or email to the above address with either "yes" or "no" will suffice. If you email put "twitter poll" in the subject line so that I don't accidentally delete your vote, though.

So, get those quotes in, and tell me what you think of the twitter idea.

Get a twitter account. It's mostly useless but the times it isn't it's worth having.

Twitter? Twitter is for twits.

I don't tweet, but that just means I'm a crusty old fart, not that there's anything wrong with Twitter.

The easiest way for you to find out if it works for you is to try it.

Agree, try it... I don't use it, but I'm sure some do.

WV- incitin You're just incitin trouble (again) :-)

I think Shakespeare would put it something like this:

To tweet, or not to tweet? That is the question
Whether 'tis nobler on the blog to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous comments
Or to speak up against a slew of fatheads
And by re-tweeting, rend them . . .

:-)

We don't have to say awesome things about you, because you being you is already awesome in itself.

i'm another non-twit ... so can't say it affects me one way or the other :)
