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:

Three fonts walk into a bar, the bartender says, “Get lost! We don’t serve your type in here!” 11:54 AM Aug 22nd, 2008

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:

1. She was wearing turquoise jewelry.
2. She kept mentioning the full-moon
3. 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.

As requested, here is a photograph of me with no glasses.
