Listening To: Mumford and Sons. And the rain on the roof. Line Obsession: "Far too many people die with a heart that's gone flat with indifference, and it surely must be a terrible way to go. Life will offer amazing opportunities, but we've got to be wide-awake to recognize them." - from Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman
That is a picture of a pig in flight:
This is a picture of lightning striking the same(
ish) place twice:
This is a picture of The Eagles during their first(ish) reunion tour, after they vowed they would never, ever reunite:
This is Johnny Depp failing to attract me in any way whatsoever:
These are all phenomenons that someone thought could never happen. To that short list, I shall now add this:
That is a picture of my Twitter profile.
I never thought it would happen either.
Between us, I'm not so sure I'm a twitter-kind-of-girl.
I love blogging (because you people make this place so fun). My hope is that this blog has a conversational vibe about it. If blogs were places, I'd want this one to be a funky little coffee shop with good music playing and good people hanging out. You're welcome to come as you are and stay as long as you want.
But if Twitter was a place ... eh. I guess I've always thought of it more like an overcrowded cafeteria. A place where you hear lots of people talking but you're never invited in on the conversation. Obviously, I'm wrong. Lots of people seem to love the tweeting. I'm sort of a social outcast when it comes to social media, I guess.
And yet. Pigs fly. Lightning strikes. Bands reunite. Johnny Depp has a bird on his head. And I tweet. I'm giving it a try, at least. :)
If you're on Twitter, will you say hello? I'd love to connect with you on there. The good news is that Twitter doesn't pick up twang, so you won't even need subtitles to understand what I'm saying ;)
Note: I'm certain that I won't understand how to use Twitter for a while. In case you haven't noticed, I have a hard time keeping my thoughts short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks for being patient with me while I step into the 21st century. Hopefully, eventually, Twitter will be fun. Fun-ish. ;) My hope is that whether you say hello over there or on here, you'll still feel welcome. Just exactly as you are.
I think you can find me by clicking this magical button:
If not, my handle (?) is _natalielloyd (note the underscore before my name).
I have a real post scheduled for later this week, a thought-provoking piece about feuding families and celebrity look-a-likes. (Be thinking of who your celebrity look-a-like is ... because that's what I want to ask you in my next post! :)
Do you like Twitter? Or does "social" media make you feel a little bit anti-social too? ;)
