The solitude of Twitter

Many many times have I expressed my hatred for Facebook. MANY MANY MANY times have I thought that I really do prefer Twitter.

We all got onto Twitter for our own reasons. Some of us joined so that they could follow the celebrities they wish they could meet and desperately hope that they will one day get a reply from that person who has 100 billion followers so that until the day they die and no doubt have it etched onto their grave stone them they were good friends with that person but they couldn't go to the funeral because they were meeting the queen.
 Some of us joined Twitter so that they could find new ways of posting pictures of their cat. If those people could please fuck off from the internet and make sure they cancel their contract with their ISP within 24 hours then I think its safe to say we would all be happier. Just to throw this out their because I know you'll be wondering and hanging off every word I say, If you repost any pictures just for the sake of posting pointless cute pictures you are included in the previous suggestion!!
Some of us, and this was my reason, was to socialize and try to make new friends. Some of us have no friends. Some of us have mannequins in our flats in order to fool ourselves into believing we have company. Some of us, and I don't want people assuming this is my primary mental glitch (it is) talk to our guitars. Eleanor, Christine and Martha all say hello!!

Whilst this is meant to be a kind of tongue in cheek blog it does have a bit of a painful twang to it. There are many people who I have spoken to on Twitter and baring in mind I came to twitter to make friends it always pains me when I think I am getting along with someone and chat for ages and clearly like chatting to each other and then all of a sudden they make it known that they have NO interest in who you are as a person. I'm not thick skinned. I've never been thick skinned. It is upsetting. Now I'm not at any point saying I am desperate to find best friends but for someone to say I'm not interested in who you are as a person cuts.

Anyway, I'm leaving this one here. Remember people, some of us aren't that bothered about shallow rambling all the time. Some of us want a friendship.

Twitter people nonsense!
