Twitting a tweet... or is it tweeting a twit?

This morning's class is all about the know-how. I'm attending Loyalist College in Belleville and taking the Post-Graduate Public Relations program and today is the day I enter center stage to the world of social media.

As far as I'm concerned, Facebook is the only social media I've ever known. So why should I be concerned about tweeting my latest status updates to the world? Well, because I have to. If I am going to become an expert on social media, I need to be in tune with the most popular social media databases out there today. So, now I have a Twitter account and am tweeting my way throughout the day. Slowly but surely I will soon be just as fluent in tweeting as I am in facebooking. Social Media, meet Adam. Adam, this is Social Media.

3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned

5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter

6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen

8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour

10. It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

• "ya he asked me for my number"
• "and.."
• "i gave him a fake number. turns out, the numbers i gave him, were for a real person. him. out of all the numbers in the world, i gave him his own phone number as a fake phone number. he just stared at the phone number, asked me to call the number, his phone rang, and he walked away."
• "well at least you tried."
• "i don't know who was more embarassed, me or him."

information overload, situation lost control

i myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.
