Robinson Crusoed

Twitter says my account is temporarily locked after too many failed login attempts. I'm to "chillax" and wait it out. I just changed my password and now I'm worried I mistyped it twice. I bet you're all having a ton of fun over there without me.

You can console yourself that you are now in the august company of Ted. I'm twittering a little bit, but it is no fun at all. Come over to Facebook!

Oh, but I love Twitter! Seriously, it really suits me, the brief updates, the little inconsequential, spontaneous remarks ... it feels very companionable to me.

But maybe I'll give Facebook another whirl. It seems more tolerable now that I've learned how to hide almost everything on the screen.

Oh yes, you must hide nearly everything.

And yeah I know, twitter is wonderblahblahblah

I KNOW!

Let's face it: I am just not social enough to fully appreciate social networking. Half of what I love about Facebook is that I get to goof around with Par there, for god's sake.

If we worked in an office together I would be your worst nightmare.

"Hi, Karen. I'm eating this muffin."

"Oh, that's nice."

"Hi, Karen. Now I'm looking out the window."

"Mm-hmm, well, thanks for coming by to chat but I --"

"Hi, Karen. Wanna see my thumb?"

"Actually, I'm trying to work on this --"

"Hi, Karen. I'm still eating my muffin."

I haven't stopped laughing over this comment yet, so I think we'd be ok.

Oh, good! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a fun guy to have around in an office. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason they kept me around my last year at the Day Job. In sports parlance, I was a good locker room guy.

Sports is what we talk about on Twitter.

Thank you for explaining the sports metaphor to me as I have not spent enough time on Twitter to pick up all the terminology yet.

You're welcome. In Facebook parlance, it's the equivalent of throwing a bunch of sheep.

I'm mostly still complaining about my teeth. I can do that here, if you like. ;-)

Well, I finally "chillaxed" enough and got back on Twitter, but please feel free to talk about your teeth here. I really can't get enough of it. Do you have rubber bands in your mouth?

That's it, I'm logging onto Facebook to make a fan page for myself.

Didn't I tell you that Twitter is wicked, tricksy and false? Didn't I??? Come back to the light, Greg. Come back...

We're mostly deconstructing Norse Code at the moment and psychoanalyzing you based on your writing. It's all very flattering, don't you worry. Are your ears ringing? Or maybe your fingertips tingle if someone's talking about you online...

Sometimes I think Norse Code is my 75K-word Twitter comment.

Did you miss the virtual ice cream cake party? Ice cream cake is even better in under 140 characters.

Yup!

I tweeted a whole bunch of times about how great my dog is.
