Ask Chemskank Revisited

About a year and a half ago I posted Ask Chemskank which was a list of random "advice" I tried to live by.

I can say that #3, #15, and #18 were a huge FAIL (edit on #18- it's ok, sometimes, but only when I do it.) Whatever, I'm still pretty...and angsty. Pretty angsty. What a great combination. Some things never change.

There's this new website thing some of you kids may have heard about...it's called Twitter. It's simple enough: you post comments less than 140 characters in length. You can even include tiny links (cute!) The problem with it is that, if you give it a chance, it becomes more addictive than crystal meth!! You can post things from pretty much anywhere. So say you're out in a crowded bar on Saturday night, you can tweet from there: "Wow, these people are really annoying. Please stop touching me!!"

Much like a drunken text message, you can also end up posting things that you may later regret except this time it's not aimed at one person (though it actually is) and within seconds it's for the world to see... embarrassment ensues. It's like a walk of shame, in HTML format.

My other problem is that somehow all these fucking weirdos find me and start "following" me (because that's what you do on Twitter...cyberstalking lite). I seriously don't know how they do it but I don't know them and I'm not interested. Hope the Twitter team gets this spamming issue under control soon.

But overall, it's quite entertaining and fun. But if you join, please don't follow me!
