Twitter Rules

Well... that was fun.

My first time on Twitter proved to be something of an avalanche. You know, in a "oh my god run run run" kinda way.

I'll be using it to tell little stories here and there. Some of them will be Skulduggery related, some of them won't- such as the cute little axe murderer story from Saturday night. Some of them may even be related to the series I'll be writing AFTER Skulduggery. Ooooooh! (But I don't know about this. I literally just thought of that right there.)

I'd like to be able to post stories quite regularly, but I'm not committing myself to anything right now. Neither am I going to be using Twitter in the normal way. Instead, I'll be typing with my toes.

No, wait, that's not what I mean. I mean, I have rules. RULES! And they shall not be broken!

RULE 1: I SHALL NOT FOLLOW!

I only follow two people, and both of those just happen to be attractive lady fighters. That's a pure coincidence, I swear.

My point is, I am not going to open up Twitter every day and see a thousand different streams of tweets from a thousand different people. This will EAT UP MY TIME, and I cannot allow this to happen.

RULE 2: I SHALL NOT RETWEET!

I've seen requests for retweets on Ronda Rousey's page, and people actually get annoyed when she doesn't do it. I'm going to cut this off at the knees before it even gets started— no RT's for me.

RULE 3: I SHALL NOT REPLY!

Again, people get annoyed if you don't reply. They think you're being rude or disrespectful. They think you're ignoring them. While all these things are quite true, replying to everyone is just impossible. Also, it will EAT UP MY TIME. And I need my time for doing the thing you want me to do. Which would you rather— that I write more books, or reply to your tweets?

No, I can't do both. I can't. Shush. Shuttup. Stop. You're making this worse. Quiet. Shhhhhhhhhh.

And here it is, the final and most important rule of all.

RULE 4: I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BREAK ANY OF THESE RULES AT THE SLIGHTEST WHIM.

I have spoken.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm not a Directonator. I am, however, interested in 1Dness with being very interested in 1D themselves. :/

Um. I think you tried to give me One Direction Infection and it mutated. XD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bexter Vex said...

YO DUDES N DUDETTES, any of you gonna be seeing derek in london in febuaaryyyyy?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No, I'll be seeing Derek in April.

Luciana said...

Can't Skype.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's a rare day when I get to go on Skype. Everything in my life, at both home and school, is dependant any brother.

And, right now, I feel like crap:'(

Star Inkbright said...

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Still trying to come to terms with how I feel about that. :/

Oh, today at lunch! *laughs*

Friend 1: I still prefering reading to watching TV.

Friend 2: Really?

Friend 1: Yes. But I never have much time to read because I'm too busy watching TV.

She was being truthful and all! *starts laughing again at the memory* Ah, that was funny. You may have had to be there, however.

Star Inkbright said...

Can't Skype right now! Sorry! D:

Bexter Vex said...

*crawls into jordan's lap.* *snuggles* HUG ME OR I'LL PUNCH YOU.

Ahhh, Val, what signing you going to?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I dunno if I'm going to a signing, but Derek said he'd meet up with me while I'm in Ireland.

Star Inkbright said...

I can completely imagine me becoming a Directioner and can completely NOT imagine me becoming a Directioner. :/

Mostly not, however.

Star Inkbright said...

I am going to any signing near here if there is one! And if there's one in Liverpool I'll probs go there because we have aunts and cousins and stuff in Liverpool!

Bexter Vex said...

Oh, that's fabulous~

Maralie Lily Charm said...

DirectionATOR or DirectionER or DirectionHATER or DirectionERETTE Star?

Bexter Vex said...

Did you go to the signing in Liverpool last September?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Im crazy

Bexter Vex said...

We're all crazy here.

And when we're not here.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

eden!

Star Inkbright said...

Before I go - no, Becky. It was my birthday plus I didn't tell my parents about the signings for no reason other than I'm me. It's complicated and I don't get it. :P

I will not be a Directionater. I don't generally hate stuff so I doubt I'll be a Directionhater. Directionerette? :/ Like I said, I mostly cannot see myself as a Directioner. :/

NOW I WILL GO IN THE SHOWER. I HOPE. DAMN YOU DISTRACTINGNESSNESS.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm not really in the mood for Blogland tonight... So I'm just going to go.

Night all. *hugs* *teleports into room to pick out nerd outfit for international spelling bee tomorrow*

Rim. said...

Yo Val, if you still wanna skype I can Skype in 45 mins?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I was going to do something to do with wood, but I decided against it.


*chucks fireballs at them*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

It's true.
I have to do it for French and Irish homework.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I can probably do that, Rim.

Cat said...

Barcelona.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Barcelona the planet or the place?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Rim. said...

Well said, Cat.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Sho yayayayay

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Sho yayayayay

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Sorry!

Cat said...

Thank you, Valkryie V.... I would have but I've been called a grammar nazi 8 times today... I do not appriciate being called a Nazi.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I've noticed a recent decline in the grammar of the Bloglandians we need a grammar nazi.

Rim. said...

Only a handful of the bloglandians don't use correct grammar. Mostly the newbies.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Gtg see y'all tomorrow.

Cat said...

We do not need any Nazis.

Melica Frost said...

Bye eden :(

Rim. said...

Agreed.
Bye Eden.

Cat said...

Goodbye, Eden.

Rim. said...

We need people who can used the correct punctuation and keep their spelling to their best standard.
We do NOT need Nazis.

Luciana said...

Too many Bloglandians, THAT ARE ENGLISH, have poor English... Some spelling and grammar on here is atrocious... It's becoming ridiculous.

Rim. said...

It seems I'm not even in my own category...
*use

Melica Frost said...

I agree with you Rim :)

Luciana said...

(By that I mean, people who have English as their first language)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

English is my second language. Gibberish is my first.

Cat said...

~Rim: One Half of the Awesome Ones~
there is a big difference between typos and not giving a damn.

Melica Frost said...

In my english class today my teacher asked us to explain a noun. I was personelly offended because I was taught that in primary 1, and to make it worst half of my class couldn't answer, I also must add that I am in the top english class :(

Rim. said...

Mel, I don't have a clue what they are. I also don't know the persons. I've been taught but it never sinks in...

Cat, thanks. Typos are sometimes funny.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Gaaah

Cat said...

I mean, I've always believed that what you are trying to say is more important that how you say it, but still....

Cat said...

What's up, Zafira?

Melica Frost said...

Zaffy! Hows it going?

Cat said...

Can I call you Ziggy, Zafira?

Rim. said...

Cat, do you watch or have ever heard of Victorious?

Cat said...

No, I can not honestly say that I have.

Rim. said...

Ah, okay. No harm in asking.

Cat said...

What is it, ~Rim:...~?

Rim. said...

Dude, call me Rim. It's easier.
There's a character called Cat on it so... Never mind.

Cat said...

Oh... Cat is not really my name, exactly...

Cat said...

And thank you, Rim.

Cat said...

Hello?

Rim. said...

Hello!
Sorry.

Cat said...

Don't worry about being sorry.
I feel like such a horrible human being.

Melica Frost said...

Sorry for poofing!

Cat said...

Well... I mean, yesterday I was talking to a charecter of mine and I realized how horrible I'd been to him... I mean, I can't believe how cruel I was.

Rim. said...

No worries Mel.
Cat, you talked to your /character/?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No you cnnot call me Ziggy!!!

Melica Frost said...

Ziggy zaffy ha :) im kidding... :)

Rim. said...

Zaf, chill dude.

Cat said...

I gave him a troubled little brother who was killed when he was 14 years old and had been troubled for years before that, a father who ended up a drunk and illiterate, shouting about witchcraft, forced his mother into a situation where she had to deal with his older brother after the youngest was killed. The oldest brother became psycotic after the youngest was killed, sure that he could have saved them. He was kidnapped, became a pirate, became a soldier so that I could give him 3 friends and a mentor, gave him and a friend PTSD, made another one a psycho, threw him out alone... He became a sailor and had to force one of his friends off the boat, then, after becoming captain, his ship sank and three crewmates died, but he didnt, and he became even more guilty. He refused to get a new ship and became a dirt-poor street magician who finally gets himself an assistant who barely beleives a word he says and is perpetually annoyed with him.

Cat said...

Yeah, I talked to him.

Cat said...

I ruined his Life!

Cat said...

Now his old best friend is trying to kill him.

Rim. said...

You kinda have ruined his life. But at the same time, you gave him life. It balances out.

Cat said...

Does it really? All he's been is miserable since he came into his world. I blew him up! I cant believe that I would do that to someone.

Rim. said...

Well you have. So believe it.

I've gotta go now. Bye!

Cat said...

Bye, Rim.

Melica Frost said...

Aww bye rim :(

Cat said...

Melica Frost... Am I a horrible person?

Melica Frost said...

You can call me Mel if you want and nope I dont think you are :)

Cat said...

I did that to a person...

Melica Frost said...

I am quite a morbid person at times but I still dont think your a bad person :)

Cat said...

What? You think that A good person could do that?

Melica Frost said...

I know it seems like the oddest thing ever but I kinda am...I dont think your a bad person and I have learned in my short short life so far that forgiving is the best thing and yeah...its odd but yeah :)

Melica Frost said...

And good people can do things like that...it happens to the best of us :)

Cat said...

Okay... This is sort of unrelated... I kinda have to change the topic, but
Have you seen Doctor Who?

Melica Frost said...

OMGFRICKENGODIMLIKETHEBIGGESTWHOVIANEVERITSINSANE. So yeah I have seen doctor who :)

Cat said...

Did you see the Episode with Doctor 10 and Jenny?

Cat said...

The First one.

Melica Frost said...

Yeah! And on a kinda related note ... Im not jenna louis colemans biggest fan. I still 100% love the ponds and cried in a corner when they left its terrible...and what makes it worst is that when I was younger I met mr moffat and told him that if the ponds died by the hands of A) the weeping angels or B) the vesta nerada then I would cry for 100 yrs ... I feel I may have written their death because he wrote it down... btw he was my primary head teachers brother so thats how I met him :)

Cat said...

Ehm.... I do not like Amy. I do very much like Rory, but I do very much not like Amy...

But anyway, Remember how he said that he "Never Would"?
Well... I was thinking about the skulduggery... He would

Melica Frost said...

Yeah ... I figured that out way to long after I probably should have...

Lavender Hope said...

Not staying, gotta have breakfast first. Then I'll be back.

But Mel, if you want to help make the castle, I'm totally fine with that. ^_^

But we're going to have to wait till I can get enough money to build a castle...

And Cat- in advice to writers, here's a tip:

Give your protagonist a hard time. Make them miserable. They are not your child.

Just sayin. ;)

I have such a bad time of giving a character of mine a hard life...

Bye now!

Melica Frost said...

YAY! if I become a millionare lav its going to the castle :D

Lavender Hope said...

Oh yeah, today over here is Friday.

HAPPY SORT OF EARLY BIRTHDAY ZAF! :D

Now bye. :)

Cat said...

Thanks, Lavender Hope...
But he's not just my protagonist- he is probably my best friend in the world right now.
Happy Very Nearly B-Day, Zafira.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Six couldn't come, three had decent excuses.
Out of the six that said they could come, three showed up, one was mixed up about the time an came a day late, one had a decent excuse, and one hasn't spoken to me since.
