Someone I follow on Twitter tweeted something about re-reading old tweets, and it made me curious. “What was my very first tweet?” I thought.
And it takes a little bit of scroll/click/scroll/click/scroll to get there, but I went far enough back to see my very first tweet, posted on June 8th, 2008 at 8:03 p.m.:
I’m trying to figure out what Twitter is all about…I’m always behind everything.
Ha! I also like my 3rd ever tweet which was posted on June 8th, 2008 at 10:01 p.m.:
I’m going to bed (early). Is that a twitterable event?? I’m new.
What was your very first tweet?
Here are a few more of my favorites tweets from the past:

I had the “pleasure” of spending an afternoon at a local elementary school. I’m trying to branch out into our community a little more and meet people. I’m such a kid though…the plan was to meet up with school administrators and teachers, but I spent most of the time playing kickball and gossiping with a 11-year-old.
When I was talking with one of the school counselors, she mentioned that the kids have been particularly rowdy the past few days. “Well,” she said, “what do you expect? Tomorrow is a full-moon.”
And I laughed. Perhaps a bit too much. Because as the conversation progressed, I started to notice things:
- She was wearing turquoise jewelry.
- She kept mentioning the full-moon
- She never laughed
“Oh god,” I thought. “She really believes in this full-moon mumbo jumbo.” I wish I could have taken back all or at least part of my huge laugh that I gave after she first mentioned it.

I feel kind of ashamed to admit this, but I’ve been cheating on you.
You may remember that I’ve been teaching children how to blog, and I’ve set up a blog over there where I post stupid things. Nothing personal.
It’s not you. It’s me.
I’ve just been blogging at WhatSomeWouldCallLies.com for so long, and I needed to step out of that comfort zone and try something new. I hope we can work this out…I still love you and hope that we can stay together.
