HIMYM, Twitter

[jlh]

I really loved the explanation of the woo-girl, and that Ted is pretty much one. I look forward to Ted and Robin building a more solid friendship, rather than a friendly ex-ship, out of their romantic failures and current confusion. I liked the brief moment of Barney checking out Robin's ass. I also liked Barney acting like a selfish ass in the moment even when he meant to be a good friend. There was a lot of character building in this episode, I felt, rather than the plot tying-up that had been going on in previous weeks.

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 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.

I loved HIMYM this week, especially the whole WOOOOO girl thing. I was a WOOOO girl myself last night - in total fangirl mode as I watched video from DCook's album release party on Rickey.org.

Ahem. *pretends to be an adult* :D

I agree about this ep being character building, which I really appreciated. (Also the Swedes were just hilarious.) The Woo-Girls was a great concept, especially when they started with the subtitles. I think my favorite part was the one who was secretly in love with her friend. It was such a great little tragedy stuck in there and I liked the way it was so affectionate to the whole patheticness of the situation without looking down on anybody. Plus it was a really goofy acknowledgement of how great it would be to be Marshall and Lily no matter whether or not that's the life you yourself dream about.
