Because you’re the invsi-twit.

Reasons I Won't Follow You on Twitter #1

Not only is it tacky to ask people for follows, you might want to learn how to spell the very business you claim as your goal.

Favourite Tweets, February 2009

Cecily — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:10:04 +0000

Imust’ve had too much time on my hands this month, because I had more favorite Tweets than ever before, so many that this months favourites are a “best of the best” list. As usual, names and identities are redacted to protect anyone with protected tweets.

And this month’s champeen:

Favorite Tweets – January 2009

Cecily — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:02:00 +0000

Following J. Brotherlove‘s and Amber Rhea‘s leads, I thought it would be fun to feature some of my favorite tweets from January 2009:

Why Twitter is Awesome

Not only because Vernon Reid, one of my personal rock heroes followed me back today, but because the one man who can reduce me to a puddle of chocolate goo just by opening his mouth has now discovered it:

I’ve been a grouchy, whistling bitch for the last few days, but just seeing this caused a mile-wide grin to break out across my face.
Hi, Ewan! Call me! Or just keep existing to make me lose my ever-lovin’ mind! Whatever you want to do is fine with me!

Never ordering from Zappos Canada again. $15 dollars to return a pair of shoes, when US customers don’t have to pay it? Criminal! #
That $15 dollar Zappos fee sucks especially hard when the shoes were on sale for $30 to begin with. #
Sometimes living in this country feels like a punishment, but usually only when it comes to online shopping. #
Watching "Scenes of a Sexual Nature" only because Ewan McGregor and Adrian Lester are in it: http://is.gd/dsV #
Thinking of buying bike shoes on the recommendation of a friend. #
Canon people: Spend $75 at Shootsac.com in May and be entered to win one of 3 lenses. (Sucks that this offer only appeals to Canon shooters) #
Just realized I left a favorite pair of shoes in the Bay Area. #
Twitterverse: has anyone out there had any experience with Trek Bicycling’s Women Specific Design (WSD) bikes? #
@library_chic Yeah, but it’ll take about a month to get them. #
@geekandahalf Thanks for the tip. I have a bike, but I want a better and more comfortable one. #
@michellej Are they women specific designs? #
Is it too much to ask for bike manufacturers to develop navigation that is organized by gender or type of riding you intend to do? #
Navigation on their websites, that is #
@kcxd Well, hallelujah! Now if only I could find someone to take my current bike off my hands. #
Elbow deep in Plone. #
@hillarygayle I never get tired of that song or that movie. #
Am I the only one who wishes Pitchfork would use a bigger font on their site? #
Hungry. Wanting to eat something totally bad for me though I know I shouldn’t. #
I can’t keep up with you politicos. What has HRC done now? #
Twitterverse: other than #9rules, can you suggest any other blog portals? #
Wasn’t it John Stewart who said something about wanting a president who was better than him? #
Upside to living in Canada: our politics aren’t (usually) so racially polarized. #
@Miss604 Caked on butter? I think you’ve just put me off my lunch. #
@mellemusic I want liquored up cupcakes! #
Re-reading the Go Fug Yourself post where Britney names her children Kevney Cheetos and Britven Red Bull. #
I haven’t visited since the last Friday Night Lights episode aired, but my God, the new TWoP design is annoying. #
I’m on the "Top Tweets" board for Twitter Local/Vancouver but still nobody here knows who I am. #
There are a couple of library staff making out right now in our office. #
OK, not making out exactly, but there’s some smooching going on. #
@mellemusic @michellej This is for you: http://cupcakecamp.pbwiki.com/ #
@mellemusic Not only is it fun to say, it’s fun to do! #
@slamhita I used to think I could never work in a library either, but 4 years of working for soul sucking corporations disabused me of that. #
@slamhita And they are very sensual places. Must be all that freedom of information. *wiggles eyebrows* #
Now thanks to @slamhita and @mellemusic I’m contemplating making out in a library. #
@slamhita You dirrty. #
I’ve never done it but I had a friend who swore by the men’s restroom on the 3rd fl. of the Ga. State University Library. #
@irinaslutsky For the same reasons as my sexually adventurous male friend was using them? #

I said I wasn’t going to watch the results but I’m a frakking junkie. *twitches* #
I can get a free copy of Cory Doctorow’s new YA novel. SWEET! http://is.gd/cZ5 #
@RPM See, now that you’ve made that Jamal Simmons comparison, I’m going to think about the theme to the Munsters whenever I see him. #
Eight Belles… Eight Belles… #
Stupid conference call. I want to hear what’s going on! #
@ruby What’d she say?! What’d she say?! #
@geekandahalf OH EM GEE I just figured out what your avatar is. #
@celeduc All the better to turn him into a projectile. #
I’m going to start a petition to bring back the butch(ish) Rachel Maddow. #
@mellemusic My husband loves that shot. #
@geekandahalf I think people were impressed by McDermott’s head of hair. #
@RPM I love the way McDermott kept reiterating "Hammond isn’t the county with the problem….we counted our votes *HOURS* ago!" #
I’m wondering if this is going to turn out to be a "Dewey Defeats Truman" kind of night? At any rate, I’m going to bed. #
Watching Donna Brazile go all sassy on Paul Begala’s milquetoast ass: http://is.gd/deg #
@arsepoetica Are we talking about favorite high school colognes? If so, mine was Grey Flannel. Ooh, child. #
@tiffanybbrown Agreed with @misterjt re: the disappearing "I will be". I’m also the first to add librarian. No surprise there. #
@arsepoetica Ew. In my high school, only jackasses wore Polo. Strangely enough, I don’t like cologne on men anymore. #
I had a scary moment last night when I agreed with Chris Matthews about voters who supported Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos strategy. *shudders* #
Hee. My photo is now the header on @mellemusic ‘s blog. #
MC Gravella Hellacopter. #
I’m officially dead. Somebody call the funeral home. #
@geekandahalf *perk* Did somebody say thick thighs? #

Back in YVR. Missing my SF/Yay peoples like crazy. #
I took about 450 pictures this weekend. I will NOT edit them tonight. No, no, nononononono. #
I will, however, edit the lovely ones I took of @mellemusic and try to get them up. #
@jbrotherlove Yes, as in ABBA! #
My favorite picture of Melle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecily/2469602561/ #
My second favorite photo of Melle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecily/2469609869/ #
And one of Felicia, then I’m going to bed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecily/2470447388/in/photostream/ #
Fun time is over, back to work. Not that work isn’t fun, it’s just a different kind of fun that doesn’t involve Patron, dancing, or karaoke. #
Doing a bit of photo editing before work. #
Doing a bit of photo editing before work. #
New shirt, new shoes. I feel kind of cute today. #
@RPM Aww. May your day be free of sleestaks. #
There’s a video of @felicious and @mellemusic at karaoke in my flickr stream. #
@geekandahalf Hm. I look cute in my white pants. #
@michellej You get the "Cecily’s hero of the day" award. #
@geekandahalf Well, you’re in LA so you go ahead and wear your white pants now. As for me, I’ll need to wait until at least June. #
@michellej I’d give you one if I knew how to do one in ASCII. #
Today’s dogpile.com front page is freaky. #
@jbrotherlove Your ellipsis had me hollering. #
@slamhita If New Edition is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. #
EbscoHost’s Visual Search is the business! #
Suddenly wishing I’d sung (a really terrible version of) Xtina’s "Candyman" at karaoke the other night. #
@geekandahalf Does Captain America take his shirt off at any time? ‘Cause if he does, I’m SO all over this casting. #
The Interjection Song just came up on my iPod. #
So when you’re happy (YAY!) or sad (AWW!) or excited (HEY!) or mad (RATS!)… #
Schoolhouse Rock was awesome #
@coffeenated The correct question is "Who is Taylor Kitsch?" #
@coffeenated Shoot. I got eyes. #
Now lipsynching to "Nights on Broadway" at my desk #
@RPM It’s Mecca’s fault. #
@tiffanybbrown No shooting, but how about hugging? #
@allaboutgeorge LOL gets my vote. #
@scifirantergirl Dammit, you had to give me a reason to go see the new Terminator movie, didn’t you? #
Read a bit of "Dreams from My Father" over lunch. If the US screws this election up, I’m surrendering my passport. #
@scifirantergirl Clive Owen. Sure, he’s not American, but he’s Clive Freaking Owen. #
So TwitterFam, I’m thinking of spending my milestone birthday in San Francisco this September. Hope y’all can make it. #
*repeats to herself* I cannot afford a new MacBook. I cannot afford a new MacBook. #
@weez42 But I neeeeed it! #
@weez42 Can your doctor prescribe Ativan before tomorrow morning? #
Any Plone experts out there? DM me! #
Dear Firefox DOM inspector – why aren’t you working? #
Does anyone out there use DabbleDB? Pros/cons wanted. #
@RPM That’s the second best news I’ve had all day. #
I think I’m going to hit the cosmetics counter after work. I’m long overdue. #

@misterjt @felicious Videos of said performance are making their way to Flickr as I type this. #
@level76 Sorry bruh, sleep totally won. I’ll catch you the next time – promise! #
ARGH, Flickr won’t take my videos. They’ll have to wait until I’m back in YVR. #
Have decided the N82 shall be named Agnetha #
