    The 46 stages of Twitter

    1. Hear the word Twitter. Scoff.
    2. Hear it again from someone else. Scoff again.
    3. Hear about famous celebrity who is apparently "On Twitter." Scoff, but make mental note to check it out.
    4. Log into Facebook to comfort self.
    5. Sign up for Twitter.
    6. Give up because it seems dumb.
    7. Loudly criticize others on Twitter.
    8. Follow @johncmayer, @aplusk, @rainnwilson, @wilw, @mrskutcher, @oprah, and one other person you actually know.
    9. Post tweet that is a variant of: "Trying out this Twitter thing."
    10. Attempt to dig a little deeper into Twitter.
    11. Notice rampant usage of words: "Tweet," "Twitter," "Twitterverse," "Tweetie," "Tweetdeck," and something called "RT."
    12. Scoff again, this time in confusion.
    13. Tell friends you "tried that Twitter thing, but didn't get it and it's stupid anyway."
    14. Log into Facebook because that site at least makes sense.
    15. Read story about Twitter somewhere.
    16. Log back into Twitter.
    17. Try to avoid saying Tweet, Twitter, Twitterverse, Tweetie, Tweetdeck, and ReTweet.
    18. Respond to @rainnwilson.
    19. Curse self for fanning out.
    20. Log off for 4 months.
    21. Come back, just to see.
    22. Post something relatively funny.
    23. Get RT'd.
    24. Discover that RT means ReTweet.
    25. Make it your life mission to get RT'd.
    26. Install Twitter app on your phone.
    27. No longer ashamed to say "I've gotta Twitter that."
    28. Attend events with the sole intention of "Tweeting" them.
    29. Pray to get RT'd.
    30. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
    31. Close computer.
    32. Open computer. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
    33. Think in 140 character sentences.
    34. Compulsively check phone all day every day.
    35. Tweet that you compulsively check phone all day every day.
    36. Alienate actual people in your life in an attempt to impress ones you don't know.
    37. Lose weight because you forget to eat.
    38. Place phone by bed so you can check first thing in the morning.
    39. Defend Twitter to the death from detractors.
    40. Hear self, and vaguely recognize that you have become "That Guy."
    41. Feel like, and start to behave like River Tam.
    42. Vow to quit Twitter to preserve sanity.
    43. Read this and change mind.
    44. Think to self, "I should twitter that."
    45. Recognize irony.
    46. Twitter it.

    Hehe I didn't get it either until I signed up for BigBrother and became an addict... had to have the inside scoop. But I can remember when I didn't get texting either... no people that don't get that bug me. Or IM. Our management at our work want us to begin talking face to face more than IM but I call that disruptive. At least you can ignore a tweet or IM if you want.

    I did 1-12 pretty much exactly.

    and @GoodEats haha, the other day me and my brother were talking about how "twitter" would be an adorable slang for the female downstairs mixup.
