Slow on the uptake

bop_radarSo, it turns out not only am I the last person to get on board with a trend in fandom ... this pattern extends to my entire life. Witness these two recent revelations:
1. Jeans are comfortable and flattering!
I bought my first ever pair of Levis in the US last month. Backstory: when I was 18 my jeans got cut open on the Tube in London by someone trying to (one presumes) pickpocket my wallet. It was, now I think back on it, quite traumatising. I'd never directly related this to not wearing jeans (when people would ask I had a whole rant about how they were plebby) but it seems not implausible that they may be related. :D Anyway, jeans trauma was overcome in San Francisco where I slunk around the Levis store until I was brave enough to try some on. SO COMFYS OMG. I actually now own a second pair picked up in NYC. I may never wear a skirt again. I always thought jeans would make me look fat. *eyes mirror* Not so much.
2. Twitter is fun!
I have had a Twitter account for eons and never really used it. When I got back from the States, however, I started using my Twitter account to feel a little less far, faraway from Vividcon buddies, and it turns out... it's FUN! I like it! :D I still maintain ADAMANTLY that it only makes sense in Twitter context and that posting one's tweets to LJ is epicly boring, but proof of my conversion exists here. I would invite you to follow me but I'm no faster on picking things up there than I am here.
Thank you to everyone who left sweet messages on my previous post. I am doing better. *g*

Date: 2010-09-02 08:12 am (UTC)I've never gotten into twitter, though. I understand the concept, but there are only so many hours in the day, I guess.

Date: 2010-09-02 09:02 am (UTC)Twitter is very low maintenance. I like that.

Date: 2010-09-02 10:25 am (UTC)Twitter is weird, I originally got one just to follow the tweets of a few friends who had largely forsaken LJ and SWORE BLIND I wasn't going to use it, not really. But it's the perfect outlet for random stuff too little to post to LJ and forms a really nice kind of...pseudo chat facility.

Date: 2010-09-02 09:40 pm (UTC)Pseudo chat is how I'm seeing it too. There are times when you don't want to have a whole conversation or make a whole post but you feel like sharing little things. And it is very cheering to me as a freelancer. It makes me feel less like a crazy cat lady. :p
