    I never thought Twitter would take off.

      It's TheMan!

      QUICK, EVERYBODY THUMBS UP AND RESPOND, MAYBE HE CAN VALIDATE OUR EXISTENCE. HE'S EVEN MORE HANDSOME THAN I IMAGINED.

      I don't know that I'd say twitter really took off. It's popular in the sense that people KNOW about it, but people aren't really USING it.

      Holy shit, that's exactly what I was thinking. I still think it's the stupidest thing ever.

      Me neither. I distinctly remember telling someone that all it seemed to be is Facebook status updates and nothing more.

      I thought so, too. Now I have my own.
      It still amazes me what people think up.

    I've always thought that snuggie thing is complete rubbish! Can't believe it's still around.

      Haha! That's what I was going to say. I hate the snuggi with a passion! Its a piece of crap! I also despise pajama jeans. There's more that I can't think of right now

      My father got me one. He has four snuggies of all different patterns and colors. I think he likes them.

  • When Myspace was hot and Facebook came out I laughed in everyone's face that used it. I threw a big hoop-lah about itbeing stupid and whoever uses it sucks because no one is on there. I always criticized it, especially because it doesn't have that layout design thing like Myspace and I told everyone it looks boring. Needless to say I vowed never to go on there. Now I am the real sucker because I go on it all the time. I abandoned Myspace (sorry Tom).

    Now at the moment I think Twitter is pretty stupid and I will only go on there just to stalk certain celebrities. But I might be on it pretty soon anyway.

  • Facebook, Myspace. I guess I was 50% right and 50% wrong. I'm sure I'll be 100% right in a while though!
