i don't usually get excited about celebrities (certain well-documented exceptions apart, of course) but i have to admit i am inordinately excited by this :

Thou Shalt Not Question Stephen Fry!

zelda_pinwheel · 12-31-2008, 02:16 PM

who's questioning ?? i nearly fell off my chair when i saw that.

zelda_pinwheel · 12-31-2008, 02:16 PM

of course, now i feel i should maybe actually post some tweets from time to time, and they better be sparkling gems of fascinating wit : Stephen Fry is reading them !!!!

Bah! Of course you are!

(If for no other reason than he already is, so therefore you must be. Circular logic at it's finest and unarguablest, to invent a word...)

Aye, that

clues me in that ZP knows the art of irony--she knows full well that she is smart enough for Stephen Fry. I would not expect less from her. To impress SF, you might twitter some poetry as your random thoughts. Ehem, *clears throat*

"Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come"

Um, who's Stephen Fry? (Hey, it's at least as valid a question as "who's Oprah?")

Isn't it?

*I keed*

i'm sorry !

i thought you were joking (like seabound). especially since you can add your twitter feed to your mr profile, it seemed you must actually know. twitter is a "micro-blogging" site which allows you to post very short updates on the fascinating activities of your daily life. you can follow people (you see their updates in your home page) and people can follow you (they see your updates). it's all the rage.

i don't actually tweet much but it's fun to read other people's tweets. now of course as i said i feel i should make more of an effort.

you know, honestly, i think stephen fry could probably say anything at all up to and including "it's sausage time !" to me and i'd blush and giggle like an idiot.
