Thought I’d mention it. I briefly abandoned my attempt at becoming twitter-famous, but I’m refocusing. Really lining up my priorities, you know?
twitter and other important things
I don’t understand the internet, really, and I just sort of tweet and post on tumblr and promote myself completely shamelessly on Facebook.
But, like, I am a little bit self-centered (ahem) and the internet sort of feeds my potentially narcissistic tendencies.
I probably lean a little too hard into the idea that if you are self-aware and acknowledge your shortcomings, that somehow makes those shortcomings less problematic?
Is narcissism a shortcoming is really the question here, right?
Or instead, is it a shortcoming that will make me famous?

Follow Me on Twitter (i am beyond embarrassed)
In my quest to become a famous twitter lesbian - I’ve focused it down from just a run of the mill twitter celebrity - I am actually soliciting followers and retweets, which despite the fact that I have a blog where I talk about myself and do performances live onstage where I talk about myself, I find hard to do.
I will follow back? Is that how this works? I don’t know who I am anymore, really. Validate me?
You guys. The state department’s twitter feed is being quoted in our paper of record. I don’t know how to feel right now…
