HIMYM, Twitter

So I'm reading a whole bunch of Twitter how-to's and finding them completely unhelpful, unless I know the person and can actually get into a conversation with them. I'm glad that in talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flourish I remembered my previous experience with cell phones—I got one rather late, and the end benefit I noticed first wasn't the one my friends were telling me about. I think I'm just going to blunder along until I find a way of dealing with it that works for me, and apologize to everyone in advance for being no fun to follow. I find myself being incredibly intimidated by the short length, like Twitter is ADD Theater and I'm the laggard still thinking about the TV show I saw two days ago.
I mean, is there anything more embarassing than mentioning something to a friend and having them say "Oh my goodness, you're still thinking about that? I'm so over it!" It's like people calling you tl;dr, or saying that you're too spammy or that you've pinged their obscure grammar pet peeve. (Someone was bitching a few weeks ago in a group chat about some grammar pet peeve that I had never even heard of and had to have explained to me and that knowing me I probably do all the time.) I don't want to be "that guy" who posts endless frequent crappy entries with bad punctuation.
