My friend just found out I twitter, and now she is talking loudly right next to me about how people who twitter and blog obviously think they’re important enough for everyone to hear what they have to say and how esentially they are all terrible people.

I have no idea what to do about it because it’s frustrating as hell that she is judging me for doing something I enjoy.  She won’t even listen to me try to explain what it is.

I know I shouldn’t care, but she’s a great friend and I really don’t like this and it’s making me really grumpy.

People say to me, “Why would anyone want to use twitter?”

I say, “Beats me.”

I don’t tell anyone I know about my online things (apart from the lady-shape). Furthermore, when anyone tries to start a conversation about Twitter, I listen, but don’t contribute. I’m not interested in being an evangelist, nor of defending myself for liking reading online more than I enjoy watching television.
