There comes a point in every human’s life -- I guess -- that he/she signs up for Twitter.

Yesterday was my lucky day.

Let me start by saying this Twitter thing is going to ruin my life. Let me tell you how.

You all know that I lounge around all day eating potato chips on my couch… in stilettos. NOT! The only true part is that I wear stilettos 24/7 (as referenced in my Twitter bio). I am a workaholic who is married to her work and needs no more than five hours of sleep. That said, I really have no time for a life.

BAM! That’s how I feel about Twitter. I have no time for it.

…And my professor wonders why I’m turning my paper in tonight at 11:59 p.m. right before deadline. Do you think I’m actually going to say “Twitter got in the way?” The clock goes from noon to 3 p.m., and I have done nothing but find more Tweeting pals. Ah! I mean what am I going to do?

And, of course, the first thing I check for is --  you guessed it -- stilettos. It doesn’t help that there are a quadrillion people, groups and stores devoted to stilettos on Twitter. I mean the devil has to strut her stuff in style. I am she, and I have an image to keep up, so I stay sizzling.

And what does every pair of shoes need? A bag to match of course! So then I go looking for handbags and accessories which, led me to beauty and fashion. So now I want to know every makeup tip there is along with every Sephora discount that is Tweeted out. And you need to stay in style, so then I follow every store that I go to, which leads to me following every fitness group because I can’t buy clothes if I’m out of shape. Jeepers creepers!

So I go from following 30 to following 240 in about…oh, TWO HOURS!

It went from a few news sources to beauty to this Twitter nightmare.

Hell, my co-worker just posted about cheese curls, and now I’m hungry. This is insanity.

There are already 63 people following me, too. Wow, I mean I know I’m cool, but now I have 63 little Tweetlings following me? Yikes.

So for anyone who hasn’t had that infamous day in their life yet, beware. Do not follow 240. Stick to 30 -- it’s safer.
