(100) Tweets of Twitter

Last May I started tweeting with this gem

You think creative writing teachers are ever like "Your writing is weak. Literally!" On 21-5-2011 05:23:30 from web

Seems like I still ask questions like this

"Are you supposed to say no to dad?" Most paradoxical parenting question ever? On 24-5-2011 04:20:04 from web

Not surprisingly, London has appeared several times

It hit me the other day that the world will teach London much when she already knew what a spork was. On 13-7-2011 06:02:18 from web
My conversation with London ended something like "so if you're a superhero, can I be your sidekick? Do you know what a sidekick is?" On 13-7-2011 05:59:35 from web
Four year old London today, "You know what's funny? Dogcat!" On 10-6-2011 06:27:46 from web

Guess I’m biased, but Dogcat! still cracks me up.  Every so often London will just say it and I start to laugh.  Think that kind of nails my sense of humor pretty well.

And I was told these were clever by at least a person or two that wasn’t me

I think a friend of mine just got some ers. You know, renters without the rent. On 22-9-2011 04:55:00 from web
I would like to help coin a new phrase for a distinterested girl, something like "That girl is SO Best Buy: no interest for 6 or 12 months" On 15-8-2011 05:05:07 from web
Actually, I checked, this is your first rodeo. On 14-1-2012 00:02:19 from web

And probably my favorite, which got retweeted a couple times.  It actually got mentioned favorably after an interview.

What if they say "whatever you say can and WILL be used against you in a court of law" and you say "I really like those Cadbury mini eggs"? On 31-12-2011 19:28:06 from web

I will say that before I started tweeting I didn’t really get twitter.  A few months later I think I get it.  There really is an art or beauty to saying something in 140 characters.  Often I have typed in something that is more like 160 characters and then I pare it down.  And though it often doesn’t happen, it is exciting to have a new follower appear, or get favorited or retweeted.  Someone told me that the half-life of a blog post is like six hours.  Thinking the half-life of a tweet is like thirty minutes?  That said, this got favorited just a few hours ago, some twenty days after I tweeted it.
