I’ve gone and done something that I thought I’d never do – I’ve joined Twitter. I know it’s extremely trendy at the moment to be tweeting all the time, but I object to it for two reasons:
1) The whole point of it is to get ‘followers’. I won’t get any followers. Therefore to tweet is madness.
2) It’s a little too much like doing Facebook status updates, which as a rule I try and avoid as they come across as slightly unhinged and attention seeking: ”Steven thinks that he might get up and make a brew in a minute, but he’s not sure because he doesn’t know if he is quite thirsty enough. Hmmm I might have a biscuit instead, although I don’t know what kind to have…” etc etc.
The reason I succumbed was that you can have your latest tweets appear on your blog, and I thought it might be quite a nice way to do mini-updates. I’ve created an account for each blog, you can find them here:

You can also see the last five tweets in the column to the right of this post. That’s unless I’ve deleted my accounts by the time you read this. I’ve already started to slightly regret creating them. Maybe I’ll keep you updated on my feelings on my Twitter accounts by using Twitter. Very post modern.

My eyes, my hot hot eyes often dictate the subject of my tweets. We are all too familiar with this particualr brand of ocular oppression.

I’ve never had hot eyes influence my tweets. It’s making me feel somewhat inadequate.
