Twittering is fun

First, Twittering as a word is fun to say. One of the more entertaining parts of the explosion of the internet has been the “bastardization” of the English language. I put it in quotes because only former English majors seem to care about the arrival of hundreds of goofy new internet words. Personally, I find most of them to be hilarious and often they save me time which is always a plus. LOLZ.

The posts people put up on Twitter are often pretty entertaining. It’s fun to hear about things like “Went to a job interview and also had diahorrea. Details to follow.” because you don’t need details. That is the story. The highlight of Twitter to me is the sidebar that tells of “trending topics.” These are things most Twitter-ers are talking about. Lately, the Iran election had been wailing on everything pretty soundly until Michael Jackson wanted to give St. Peter a real test.

Tangent! St Peter’s job sucks.

Anyways, on today’s listing was both of those things but also Princess Protection Program. What is Princess Protection Program? Princess Protection Program (henceforth known as 3P) is a Disney movie where a princess from a small country that does not really exist nearly gets assassinated. She ends up moving in with some normal teenager in America. Can you say misadventures? She’s not used to doing things like washing dishes so as you can imagine hilarity is on the menu! She also teaches her new American roomie how to do things like walk with a book on her head and which one is the salad fork. In the end, they both come out better people and the assassin goes to jail because he is a huge douche bag.

So, let’s think about the 3 things we’ve got on the list.

1. Extreme political instability in a country that is very much our enemy and basically hates us.

2. Death of one of the biggest music icons of all time.

3. 3P.

This is why Twitter is awesome. These three things would never come together in any other way except on a website where people belch up 140 character pieces of information the moment they come into their head and display them for the world to see. I would not have it any other way.
