a few weeks ago I declared twitter ridiculous.
oops. today I joined. my roommates are judging me as we speak, but do you know who’s not judging?
John Mayer and Ashton Kutcher and Taylor Swift and The Riverside Worship Project and this Emily and this Emily and Blair.
It all seems shockingly similar to the rabbi system of old where one jew might ask the question “who do you follow?” And the jew would reply with the name of the rabbi who discipled them and then they would be assigned credibility accordingly. I assume that lame rabbis didn’t get followed and certainly not claimed and in the same way I refuse to follow or claim anyone lame and I will work hard to establish myself as a credible twitter so that no one says that I’m lame and refuses to follow me.
My first tweet says, “hollyhereth has twitter so that she can stock john mayer more effectively.” It seems like the only reason I am on is to follow my love, jm, like I heard he was on and just wanted to see what he was up to. You see, it’s important to establish myself to be a little disenchanted with twitter, you know like, “I’m way to cool to be a rabbi, but oh if you insist.” But you readers know the truth. I want to be a rabbi. And I spent an embarrassingly long time picking out a picture. I went for the “fun girl at a dinner party that just made a 3 layer (chocolate, strawberry, funfetti) cake” look. And I really think I achieved it.
Also, don’t be worried about me wasting time doing this because if I wasn’t, I would have just been giving Winning London on VHS more attention. You’re heard me, Winning London. MK and Ash go to London for Model U.N. and one falls in love with the unassuming football star childhood friend and the other with the unassuming son of British royalty. So much magic captured on one videocassette tape.
My house might be freezing because we refuse to turn the heat back on, but today is a good day.
