My Birthday and Twitter, Which Do You Think Is More Important?

datePosted on 08:12, January 13th, 2010 by Small Town Mommy

The girls at Blue Monkey Butt have recognized that too many of you are celebrating Wednesday as hump day, so they decided to give me the chance to ruin it for you all with What the Hell Wednesday.  WTH Wednesday gives me a chance to bitch about all of the irritating little things that happen around the Small Town.  So here is some of the things that have been bugging me lately.

Do you play on Twitter?  Sometimes I do and every time I post something, new people start following me.  I love new followers, and I even follow most of them back (especially the parents and the bloggers).  Except for those people who are blatantly sexual.  WTH?!?  The screen name SmallTownMommy should make it extremely obvious that I am not a target for a photo of you in your underwear?

I received an email this morning, from a nonprofit, telling me that my birthday was in 30 days.  I did the math and they are wrong (my birthday is actually in 32 days).  If you are going to make the effort to create an program to put something like that together, at least make sure that it works right.  There are nitpickers like me who are sure to receive your email and discover that you are wrong.  Now I am just pissed at them (and not buying the plaid pajama bottoms they offered, no matter how much I love pajama bottoms).

Speaking of my birthday, I am getting really tired of people complaining about the early introduction of Valentine’s Day paraphernalia.  Valentine’s Day (also known as my birthday) is the most important holiday of the year and I see no problem with product sales taking place year around.  C’mon people, everyone loves hearts.

Well, that’s about it.  Something happened yesterday that put a damper on my WTH Wednesday.  I can’t discuss it because right now, I would just sound like a ranting crazy person (more so than normal).  I may write about it in the future, but not sure if it will merit further mention.  Meanwhile, don’t forget to stop by Blue Monkey Butt to see what has those ladies saying WTH.

    I hate those BSTs (blatantly sexual tweeters)! Really, with a name like Small Town Mommy, what the hell are they thinking?

    My Dad and Disney Daughter also have Valentine’s Birthdays. She’ll be back at Disney by then. I didn’t realize that Valentine’s Day was the most important holiday of the year. Where have I been?

    Thanks for playing and I fixed the McLinky thing. I didn’t have the time zone configured correctly :)

    I know what you mean. I always get porn comments on my blog that I must delete. Don’t know where you can find porn on a mommy blog, but I guess some people are quite creative.

    Anne, I get those half naked people on Twitter too. I really don’t even know why they are allowed on there, but whatever. I will be sure to remember that Valentine’s Day is your birthday. Lucky for you I have a very good memory.

    I got that person following me on Twitter too. Blech. I am glad we can block people but hate the time I have to spend doing it. My birthday is Feb 15! I love having a birthday to break up the winter.

    Aw, a Valentine’s Day birthday, that’s sweet. I have no problem with gifts featuring hearts and oodles of chocolate. I mean, my waistline might, but not me. ;)

    Ew for pervy Tweeters. (Is that what they’re called? Sounds like someone with an addiction to an illegal substance.)

    Im really Twitter challenged. I dont know why I have such a hard time with it! lol I dont think anyone has sent me naked pics though… Maybe I should be offended for being left out??

    I have a twitter account but very rarely use it. I could never get into it. Strange things is that even though I haven’t been there in months I still get new people following me.

    My dad’s birthday was on Valentine’s day too.

    Twitter is fun but, yeah, some of the followers I could do without. I usually check them out before following back.

    Valentine’s Day is super cool. I could do hearts all year long too. Hope they make it extra special for you…being your b-day and all.

    I still don’t understand Twitter. Elle had me sign up last year, but I had no idea what I was doing. Yep, our Dad and Elle’s daughter has V-day birthdays too! It’s actually always been a birthday day, and not a Valentine’s celebration day. Oh well.

    Thanks for joining us today!

    I am coming by from Entrecard and just loved this post. It freaking cracked me up and I just think I might join in on this meme. Thanks for making me giggle!

    I am very sorry you had a bad Tuesday. I hope your Thursday is better.
    Goat hugs.

    If you want I can send you a photo of a naked goat….

    So that explains why you’re a sweetheart…a Valentine’s Baby! ;)

    I don’t play on Twitter much – I suppose I should try to create some time to do that. I do check every so often who the new followers are, and will follow back the parents and the bloggers too – it is annoying to get those blatantly sexual ones, though!

    Hope whatever happened to damper your WTH Wednesday is only fleeting and you have a better remainder of your week! :)

    What a fun birthday. And I love Twitter! I’ve meet so many great people there. I think we’re already following each other, but if not, come follow me! http://twitter.com/yourdailycute

    I feel the same way about Twitter. Some of the posters are downright lewd. They should post hearts instead. Lots and lots of hearts…

  15. Tina T on January 14th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

    I haven’t had a problem with half naked people in Twitter in a long time. Maybe I’ve effectively blocked most of them, I don’t know. I do seem to have attacted lots of MLM spammers though, trust me–the half naked people are better than the spammers!

  16. Katherine on January 14th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    I always hated valentine’s day b/c all the “pretty” girls got candy and I never got anything. But if I had known it was your birthday, I would have loved it! ;)
