Victor: I don’t understand the point of twitter. Millions of people saying random stuff ALL THE TIME.
me: Sounds like you totally understand twitter. And that’s what’s so awesome about it.
Victor: There’s literally nothing that hasn’t already been said on twitter. Aren’t you all done yet?
Victor: Well. I stand corrected.

Yeah Im with Victor on this one.
When will he learn… muwahahaha!
That IS what is so awesome about it. You get to read what people are really thinking, however random it may be.

Most tweets need to be read like they are soundbites from a movie trailer. Your movie sounds very interesting.

I also liked the original version that you deleted: ‘Today was murdered by a horse.’

I used to feel like Victor about twitter. It took me forever to warm up to it.
Now I like it better then facebook. FB has lost its appeal to me.
I mean where else can you talk to & get responses from celebs like Neil Gaiman, Piper from Charmed, Amanda Palmer etc AND get a direct message from John Taylor of Duran Duran in response to a disagreement you had over politics(yeah that last one made 14 yr old me squeal something fierce)?? I LOVE Twitter.
I’m definitely in the pro Twitter group. I like that some of my inane tweets get retweeted by people or favorited. And sometimes I apparently make so much sense someone retweets it to thousands of people(Palmer did this to me twice and my twitter blew up for two days. Thanks AP!).
I just love the connection of meeting like-minded people and talking to them. I like that I find out news faster via Twitter then anywhere else.
Yeah, I get how people find it weird but I also urge people to give it a chance. I did that with my husband and he’s addicted now.
Oh and what’s up with the horse? What did you do to it? Did you not feed it apples??

Becki Jolly recently posted..Movie Review: Hick (2012)
On an entirely unrelated note, I loaned my audiobook copy of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” to my friend and her just turned 13 year old son who are doing a lot of traveling right now and wanted something to listen to in the car. She texted me today to say, “Following the arm stuck in a horse story, my son’s only question was “What’s a turkey baster?” I’m just glad he didn’t ask me what a dildo is. *uncomfortable giggle* Though he is even less interested in ever trying drugs than he was previously, which was not at all, so I guess that’s good.” When I suggested that perhaps she shouldn’t trust my judgment on what’s appropriate for children she replied, “What? We both LOVE the book so far!” So there you go. A very roundabout third party review of your audiobook as heard by a just turned 13 year old boy and his mom. You’re welcome.

Morbid Anatomy Library, Brooklyn, New York
This library and private collection of weird art and antique medicine cum gallery and lecture space hosts occasional classes in anthropmorphic taxidermy. That’s the resurrected Victorian craft of dressing dead animals in adorable little outfits and posing them in human activities.
The bunny school houses and kitten croquet parties of a more genteel era, however, have been updated to mouse burlesque dancers, skateboarders and drunken poets.
Visits can be scheduled to the library by appointment.
Since all of my friends live on the internet, I think of twitter and the delivery system for things I would have said if we actually hung out, but we don’t so I tweet it. And vice versa. For the most part, I only follow people who I would want to hang out with.

As the Board President of our local therapeutic horseback riding program for individuals with special needs, I was startled to learn of your demise at the hooves of a horse. It’s startling, but it happens. Horses kill.
The real reason I’m writing is that I just read your book. I didn’t realize that Jenny Lawson was “the Bloggess that I’ve been reading for years, but once I did, I thought the book was even better, and that you write in a surprisingly similar style to my facebook friend “Insane in the Mom-Brain”. She would make an interesting editor for your next project.
Loved the book, respect for all the personal shit you put out there for us. I knew that when you said those things didn’t really happen to you on the blog comments… that they really did. Now I am glad to know I read you right.

So, just when is Victor going to publish the Lexicon of Randomly Tweeted Nonsensical Every Day Sayings of Jennifer Lawson?
Tom Stronach recently posted..Hi, Hello and Good Day……
My low self esteem basically ensures I rarely post, since I figure no one gives a shit about my random thoughts… and then someone re-tweets me.
More odd to me than being murdered by a horse, really.
I do believe that we would be more concerned if you WEREN’T posting about animals and death in the same breath!!

Remember the TV show Benson. The widowed Governor’s wife had won a flowered dress as a costume and was eaten by horses, it was explained in one episode.
You can delete my last comment. Aside from the typo, I researched it on imdb and found that it was sugar, not flowers: “as that of the Governor’s wife who was said to have been killed by horses. She was not trampled, but eaten while wearing a costume made largely of sugar.”
s shopping in walmart late last night wearing my Copernicus hug shirt and looking a hot mess when this chick walked right up to me and was like “I love your shirt!” I was like “Uhm. Oh! Thanks, Its the bloggess.” And then the strange happened, she said “I know, Im a lawsbian too! I think we should start a fan group and meet to discuss her blogg!! I think I have a card.” And then she looked for her bizz card but didnt have one so she just scribbled her number down on a tine scrp of paper she had in her coat pocket and she walked away.
And then I had to explain to my kids what a lawsbian was and why they couldnt say it to their friends…..
Jenny, My brother just wrote the funniest true story and I posted it to my blog. It involves a stuffed possum and a stuff bobcat. If you have a second, check it out. I think the link will be on here. I thought of you when I read it.

I tried to explain Twitter to my mom.
I couldn’t. It was for the best.

Can you and Victor just start turning on a video camera and recording these conversations.
I think we would have the most hilarious sitcom ever imagined.
Totally AWESOME!!!

A fleeting thought that isn’t recorded is like a tree falling in the forest. If you’re not tweeting you don’t exist! It’s driven by the same thing that compelled cave pictographs.
Was it a single equine assassin, operating in plain view? Then you were the victim of a one-horse open slay.

I am, at this very moment, creating a webinar explaining various social media platforms to public librarians. This screenshot will be included. I believe that might be the best explanation of twitter ever.
Bad Horse, the Thoroughbred of Sin, would like a word…
I’m assuming you knocked on wood.
I second the idea of just setting up a video camera in your house so we can get a constant stream of these conversations. It would be the latest reality TV, only, you know, actually entertaining. A mix between reality TV and The New Normal. You should probably also have at least one gay person move in. It’s possible I’m putting too much thought into this.

One would think that Victor would have known by now not to issue you a challenge like, “There’s literally nothing that hasn’t already been said on twitter.”
Was he expecting you just to say, “Why, yes, you’re right” and to walk away?
Hah! It’s like that game/English class assignment where you write a sentence, pass the paper to the next person who writes another sentence, and so on until you have a complete story. Only in this case you filled in the sentence structure with random words
.
I don’t understand Twitter either. It sort of leaves me feeling constipated.

Now I’m worried about horse gangs going around on murder sprees.
And now what am I supposed to do when a horse murders me and instead of a brain-eating zombie, I come back as the frequent-tweeting kind?
Because if I’m going to spend the rest of my life as a social media oriented undead, I at least want to start off with some originality.

What happened to your twitter account? I love reading it and it hasn’t been available lately
Make some room on that bench, Victor. I use it for work and that’s about it. 140 characters and the signal to noise ratio makes the Baby Baal cry.
how would horse murder go exactly…. now I’m curious.
chemgirljaime recently posted..shit is out of control
I kinda love this.
My only frustration with Twitter is the inane bullshit that gets retweeted sometimes. “Can I get an RT because reasons? It’s my birthday/I’m a huge fan/I secretly have an altar to you in my closet.” Here I am, working to maintain at least a façade of coolness by not squeeing at the people I fangirl over in my head, as well as trying to keep my replies and comments witty and relevant, and “*derp* I lurve yew real hard, can haz RT pleez?” gets a response?!
Okay, I’m done ranting. For now…

I recently discovered that the concept of Kamikaze Robot Parrots doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet! I found this to be very surprising as it is clearly the sort of thing that the internet community should have invented already.
Sadly, I remindeed the situation by posting it on Twitter, so Victor wins this round.
Moral of the story……. don’t f*** with horses.
No really it’s generally frowned upon and can lead to you being murdered by a horse on a mission to kill.
So one of my childhood repeating nightmares is I was eaten by a horse. I am not lying. Still can see the whole thing in my head.

I actually JUST joined Twitter, because I was part of the whole, “Twitter is just random thoughts” camp myself, but then I realized and accepted that I need that randomness to promote my blog. So I’m on it. I love the comment on the horse. Even if it had been said before. Also, you are hilarious and my blog hero.
At least it wasn’t a pig–I hate it when that happens.
