You Probably Missed It.

So I was clicking on the "8 new tweets." the other night and came across this peculiar thing:




I made all my windows zoom out into neat segments and clicked on Skype™. Popped open a chat with Zenna and went:




After a couple of minutes or so, out came:




Frustrated (time does pass by slowly in Melbourne), I complained:






Then as she lost her train of thought with that OMG, we went on to argue about the humidity of our humour:




On Twitter, she tweet a tweet:




And by "The tweet below", she meant this:




Of course, I had to tweet back something:




But it didn't end there:






Anyway, back on Skype we were catching up (school, all that jazz). Then quite suddenly, Zenna drops the Random Bomb (like the atomic only random-er):




What else could I say? I went:
^{NOTE: I wasn't really laughing}




Now fastforward into the future, just as I was about to pull away:




Analysing the message as deeply as I could, a million thoughts, irrelevant to the subject, swirled in my head but in the end I said:




After 3 minutes:




Most displeased at the thought that she busied herself with other far more important things, I began:
^{WARNING: Following may contain content inappropriate for children}




After much processed thought, Zenna claimed:




Yes, this was her idea. Yes, she was quite rushy. What's with the capitals? She was shouting it to the screen. No, I couldn't hear her.

After minutes into our work, I had to break the silence:




I also had to ask:




That's when I got:




Like Gollum not wanting to feel Frodo and Sam's wrath, quickly I typed:
^{NOTE: Yep, you're right -- still got the wrath.}




THE END

UPDATE: Zenna's jealous my post did turn out cooler (but her post goes back to the dinosaur age; honestly worth a read -- link's below):

This conversation took 2 hours.
This post took 1 hour.
Yes, they overlapped.

Let Fail Whales Lie.

If restarting the craze of blogging means anything, it doesn't mean I'm coming down from the Twitterspehere.

To be quite honest, there was a time where I prefered Twitter over Blogspot. It's fast, it's mobile, it's short and it's a great place for one-liners. The only problem: a 140 character limit.

While it is great to update on the fly, there is mind-boggling difficulty when trying to add a sense of detail and storytelling to your tweets. It's not impossible, it's just you need to lug a Thesaurus around with you all the time or resort to writing words people don't even understand; defeats the purpose, don't it?

That said, you could just end up sending a chain of tweets people might probably never follow through or just give up entirely and question why you even tried in the first place.

This is the main reason why I've returned to blogging.

But like I said, I'm not going Death Star with Twitter. My time with Twitter's given me a knack for it (and a uncontrollable addiction to tapping TwitBird on the iPhone).

With that, head on over to bernardsam on Twitter and click on the nice man with a plus on his head beside the word Follow.

It'll keep me talking to myself and to all my Followers in the process.
