If you cant get enough of twitter...then this list is for you.
Er...Me. Its totally for me.
Seven Signs of a Slight Twitter Addiction
1. You upgrade your cell phone to one that has easier typing capabilities and better internet access.
2. You start #phrasing people in real life.
Example: Your husband says the meatloaf was a little dry. And you look at him and say, "Pound doityourself"
3. You feel sad if no one @mentioned you today.
4. Your BFF makes you angry and you consider unfollowing her just so she knows how serious you are.
5. You get disappointed when your favorite celebrity isn't on twitter. (Hear that Ina Garten?)
And when your favorite celebrity is on twitter, sending them tweets feels like you are talking directly to them. Its like you are... friends. (insert happy warm fuzzies here)
6. In your mind, re-tweeting someones awesome blog post is better then actually commenting on their blog. #guilty
7. When twitter is down you are suddenly overcome with the most urgent need to tweet and you check the site compulsively until it is back up.
#FAIL
I might have a problem.
I'm honestly grateful for Twitter and Typepad and Blogger and everything else on the web that has made it possible for me to link up with talented and real people such as yourself. We may never have the opportunity to meet in person but that doesn't matter. The written word can speak volumes and thanks to the internet our "conversations" are instantaneous :)

There. Done.

Hahaha I am so with you - retweeting IS better!! :) I am an addict...

Think I'll stick to my blogging and facebook addictions. *grin*

OMGoodness that's heeelarious - I didn't think I had a "problem" until I read this. Thanks a lot!
A personal favorite: "pound doityourself" - LOL and the re-tweeting someone's awesome blog - that IS fun & better than commenting!

Hehee~! +-D Maybe all I can do is laugh on this one because I can't really relate as much. That's the one thing I've told my hubby a lot lately is that I'm not attached to Twitter like some folks are. [I don't spend enough time on it?] I've noticed that whenever I AM on there, I tend to see a lot of the same people tweeting...no matter the time of day or night. How can they have time for that? Or am I looking at this wrong?

Oh great! And Michelle is trying to get me to join. I may have to re-think this strategy.
Posted by: Ruth | April 18, 2010 at 06:20 PM
I don't Twitter.
Should I?
I don't think I could figure it out.

ha ha ha!! what a great list. I must say that I can identify with most of them. :)
Posted by: Sonya | April 18, 2010 at 07:03 PM
I just can't get into the Twitter thing...nothing exciting enough happens in my life to Twitter about I guess.
This was funny, though!
Posted by: tracie | April 18, 2010 at 07:45 PM
Hehe, um, yep! #ihearya

Well now, See? Something to tell my husband he can be thankful for... I'm not even really sure what tweeter is.
Posted by: Anna | April 18, 2010 at 09:53 PM

Posted by: Carrie @ Martin Manor | April 18, 2010 at 11:33 PM
I have a twitter account, but rarely use it! Just can't get into that mode. Maybe my age???
Anyway, funny post!

I'm a newbie and already I'm exhibiting signs in this article. I'm going to have to... uh... What's that? Oh, it's my TweetDeck...
'Gotta go!
Posted by: Gabriella | April 19, 2010 at 04:44 PM
I have an ancient cell phone that I do "Pay as you go" with and just use for emergencies. However, I have a laptop in my living room and being a stay at home mom, I'm on the laptop, off and on throughout the day like a lot of people are on their phones. But... maybe since I'm dealing with such a BIG screen compared to that of a phone, I'm partial to Facebook instead of Twitter, and I just can't juggle them both. I have a Twitter account, but it's set to automatically update from my Facebook statuses, so I never actually deal with Twitter directly, or follow anyone through it.
That being said... this post was still hysterical! Amanada... how I wish we lived closer and could have a girls night out! You crack me up. Maybe we'll both make to Blogher one year and can meet up. I've never been... have you?

That gave me a good laugh at the end of the day - thanks!

Have to admit...I'm just a twitter imposter! I haven't learned all the ins and outs yet. I love reading your tweets and finding all the cool people you follow!
I did just try something though.

So I have to agree with Karen since I am already addicted to the internet (according to Chris). I don't think it would be good for me to get into something else!
And I totally doing get the# or the@.
Sorry.
See I told you I so wasn't cool!

You're list made me giggle. It is just too fun and TOO TRUE! (I'm following you on Twitter now too....)
Posted by: Chrysa | April 20, 2010 at 07:57 AM
truer words were never #spoken. And I'm trying to ease up on my twitter contest addiction. Best to focus on improving my blog than on wasted tweets :D
