Plurking and Twittering and Forgetting How to Write in Paragraphs
Blogged on Friday, June 20th, 2008 by Rachael. Filed in Blog365, Complaint, Linking, Randomness, pregnant!.
I think I found out what the problem is!
(What problem, you ask? HAHA. Very funny.)
It’s not because I’m pregnant - I’ve managed to blog while sick before, so being pregnant isn’t that much more of an excuse. Okay, sometimes, but not to this extent.
It’s because I was Twittering, and in the midst of Twittering (which was mostly under control, really), I discovered Plurk… and there went my brain. There went my ability to construct blog posts, because now when I have computer time (when I am not working) and any energy at all for socializing or writing, I am saying things like:
caffeinated*elf is eating a slice of pound cake as a snack.
caffeinated*elf is back! in black! Okay, only my pants are black.
caffeinated*elf feels like sneezing. Hates this kind of weather.
caffeinated*elf is devouring the last of the pound cake. OM NOM NOM.
You see? YOU SEE?! There is no end to the things I will talk about inanely, yet not blog about them. Okay, so I seem to only be plurking about what I am eating, or wearing, or how much I happen to be sneezing or nauseated at the moment. Wow, am I the epitome of boring and ridiculous.
Plurking took my brain, and it won’t give it back. Let this be a lesson to you, kids - if you want to keep your ability to communicate via paragraphical constructions, STOP THE PLURKING NOW! Or end up like me, tired, disoriented, eating all the pound cake in the house, and talking about herself in the third person.
Rachael is going to go cry that all the cake is gone.

I am one of your plurkdpenedents.
I need either a plurkvention or a plurkectomy.
I can always walk away from Twitter, but Plurkistan has held me plurktive and is asking for a plurksom of my soul.
Ok, I’ll stop. I have to get back to my timeline.
Plurkiful.

@cajunvegan, is it horribly sad that I knew exactly what you meant by that? Sigh.
I love you too. :)

IttyBiz wants to know why you ate all the f*cking pound cake.
IttyBiz is considering getting pregnant just for the pound cake.
IttyBiz is can’t let SEO go and wonders how well you rank for “pound cake”.
