tweet tweet 3 March 2010
I am a bit of a dilettante and pleased about that too. I’ll admit I’m a bit of an addict to one particular social networking site and it is the best way I know of of wasting time while usefully staying in touch with people i might not encounter or speak to from one end of the year to another. It has positively strengthened some of my friendships. And it’s a great little release when the writing is getting on top of me. I also blog here, as you can all see(!). A lot of types follow this on Twitter, and Twitter is a thing I don’t actually understand that well but seems to be the posting of regular, short, usually irrelevant information for all the world to share (…what comes up from here is the fact that I have blogged not the piece itself). I think that might all be a waste of time too far even for me, which is saying a lot. But a pal, recently returned to me by the aforementioned social networking site, has pointed out that I am on Twitter but follow NO ONE so I think that means I am bucking the trend, resisting the system, and it makes me proud that somewhere in this stressed out husk that formerly masqueraded as a somewhat fully formed Pauline McLynn there is still a dilettante fighting her corner – it will do for now anyway…
