I love twitter, I make no bones about that. And like many twitter users I follow a number of celebrities out of nothing more than pure nosiness. Nosiness is one of my driving forces but Twitter is also very useful in the writing/comedy world to find out who's doing what, where and when.
What I have noticed is when you follow a little band of celebrities who know each other, their to and fro twitter conversations between themselves appear in your feed. For the last two days there's been a group of four female celebrities twittering away at each other, sharing a day long in joke, and all I could think of was school days. Remember when you were sat in the corner and the cool clique were discussing their hugely interesting existence? It's just like that.
I've never been in the 'in crowd'....bloody hell, even my imaginary friends as child formed a clique and kicked me out...
I've given up following celebs on Twitter. Well, I say I've given up following them, actually I've given up hoping that they're going to be interesting and/or funny. Christ, how many of them have to whine about getting a nasty tweet from someone they've never met/are unlikely to ever hear from again. Dry your eyes and play nicely, whiners.
Wow, I was saving that up for a blog post of my own. Now maybe I don't have to.
