For those of you that don’t know, I love Twitter. So I thought today I’d share that love with you, the humble reader, and give you an insight into my life. This is literally the last month’s worth of my life in tweet form. Everything’s there, from the mundane to the more mundane, the crappy jokes, that one day where I got pissed off and shouted at everything that moved, all of it. And neatly summed up in blog form just for you. That’s right, YOU. Don’t you feel special?
And we start with a tweet from the very beginning of the month, literally within seconds of it becoming September. My plan was to make pics of all of my tweets and put them all down here, but after putting six in and it taking up as much space as an average blog post, I think I’ll just copy/paste most of them direct from Twitter. Less visually impressive, maybe, but also less headache-inducing. Trust me.
See? HEADACHES.
01/09/10: It is Wednesday, right? I’m still a day behind due to my night of no sleep last week. So it’s…Thursday? Or Tuesday…? I need sleep.
02/09/10: My late night question for tonight is: Will I ever stop listening to Kids In Glass Houses?
02/09/10: I haven’t listened to one band this much since I was 14 and had one CD. Well, 3. It was that Queen Greatest Hits dealie.
03/09/10: It is now officially Friday. METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID METROID
03/09/10: Thank you, 3, for sending me a text at 6am, saying I’ve reached my internet limit. On my ‘unlimited internet’ tariff. Very impressive.
03/09/10: Just bought a Freddo: 17p. Disgusting. The price, I mean, not the Freddo. The Freddo was nice.
03/09/10: Somebody name a song. I need to listen to something different for once.
03/09/10: Preferably a song I have on my ipod. It makes things so much simpler: @FosterTaken @Robbers_G There are listed buildings – Los Campesinos
03/09/10: Question: where in my original tweet was the word ‘new’? @FosterTaken @Robbers_G IF IT’S ON YOUR IPOD IT’S NOT NEW, IS IT??!?!
03/09/10: When I say ‘different’, I mean ‘not Kids In Glass Houses, for the first time in weeks’
03/09/10: Remember when staying up till midnight was a big deal? Those were simpler times…
04/09/10: Now, what’s this that’s just popped up on my ipod? …Maxïmo Park? AHHHH! QUICK, GET IT OFF! Phew, that was close. The dangers of shuffle.
04/09/10: I’m slightly obsessed with 9/11. There’s a hell of a docu on Channel 4 attm, everything from street level. The shockwave is just unreal.
05/09/10: Whoa, the final cutscene of Metroid Other M is fairly epic. Should be called Metal Gear Samus.
05/09/10: Tonight just feels like a night when I’m going to end up watching Hustle and playing Football Manager. *gets the DVDs*
05/09/10: Sky 3+1 on Freeview? When did this happen? My life, how exciting it is…
06/09/10: My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Kids In Glass Houses (141), Lostprophets (28) and Train (6)
07/09/10: A successful fantasy NFL draft. RBs could use a bit of work, but I only need one. At least I got a starter. Well, I think he’s a starter…
08/09/10: Partly can’t sleep, partly don’t want to sleep. Entirely awake.
08/09/10: is backin’ up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIoG4PlEPtY <3 The Gregory Brothers. In a totally non-gay way.
09/09/10: I have literally been watching Auto-Tune the News ALL DAY. Time well spent, methinks. Incidentally, Just A Little While is now my fave song.
10/09/10: A world without glasses is terrifying. Luckily, I can somehow see my phone still, so all is well. Ish.
11/09/10: Good news, all. I’ve managed to fix my glasses with sewing thread. If only they made tiny duct tape…..
Told you it would be mundane. You've no-one to blame but yourself.
11/09/10: Less than 24 hours until my Sundays are complete again…IT’S FOOTBALL TIME! Well, in 18 hours or so. And no Jets till Monday….*sigh*
12/09/10: I’ve spent so long these last couple of days watching schmoyoho videos on YouTube that my thoughts are now auto-tuned.
12/09/10: It’s like T-Pain is living in my head. Now that’s a good idea for a sitcom. Nobody nick it while I’m asleep. Please?
14/09/10: The engine on this bus is nose-vibratingly powerful.
14/09/10: I’m starting to get pissed off about the jobcentre. 3 times I’ve home in for this interview, 3 times I’ve had to reschedule due to illness.
14/09/10: At this rate I won’t be able to start my job at the end of September.
14/09/10: Right, time for my eye test. Here’s hoping I pass!
15/09/10: Just got a spam mail asking if I was still a girl hunter….*grabs harpoon*

22/09/10: When I went to take out the rubbish, the rim of the wheelie bin was covered with earwigs…I then turned around, and they were gone.
22/09/10: I am currently holding a long bastard file as protection. I’ve chosen it due to the no. of teeth/sq.inch, highly effective against earwigs.
22/09/10: Right, that’s settled. When I get my keyboard, add “She’s Always a Woman” to the ever-extending list of songs I am to learn.
23/09/10: Good news, everyone! I have my mobile internet back! I’ve missed being able to rant nonsensically on the move.
23/09/10: You remember how 3 said if I used too much more internet they’d disconnect me? Well, I called their bluff, and I lost. Fair play to them.
23/09/10: Not much has changed. I’m still addicted to Kids In Glass Houses. Go listen to The Morning Afterlife, thank me later.
23/09/10: I’d hoped the internet reset would help my location-o-meter, but it still thinks I’m in Lymm. I don’t know where Lymm is. I bet it’s crap.
23/09/10: Right, I’ve gone through my apps and reset everything with the word ‘location’ in it. Let’s see if it works…
23/09/10: There is only one way to properly show how I feel at this moment in time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs&sns=tw
24/09/10: Pigeons are so weird. I only just noticed.
24/09/10: My bus is 30 minutes late at this point. This is the sort of thing that would matter if I had someplace to be. As it is, I’m getting cold.
24/09/10: Forming HTML on a phone isn’t very fun…
26/09/10: New Twitter? When did this happen?
26/09/10: I must say, I am liking this new Twitter. It’s sleek and sexy. I identify with it strongly.
26/09/10: There’s too much noise on the NFL home page. I’m just surfing the internet, and suddenly a laserbeam sound knocks me off my board. How rude.
It is a great film, isn't it? I don't think Pixar have ever bettered it.

27/09/10: Jets beat the Dolphins….it’s gonna be a gooood week. Until we inevitably lose to the Bills…
27/09/10: After last night’s NFL recording fiasco, in which I stayed up to make sure my TV recorded a game I considered to be too late to stay up for,
27/09/10: I think an early night is in order. I won’t get one, but at least the plans are in place.
It's gonna be a good month....
So, that was my month. Slightly interrupted by 3 deciding on their own definition of ‘unlimited internet’, but as I’m sure you gathered by what went on for the rest of the month, you didn’t miss much.
I’d feel remiss if I didn’t encourage you to follow the Zero Expectation Twitter feed, shockingly @ZeroExpectation. You’ll get updates about new articles and more, if I get my way.
Also, you can follow me if you want. I’m not going to give you the handle though, as if you haven’t worked it out by now, you frankly don’t deserve internet access. Until the next brilliant edition of the irregularly updated ‘My Exciting Life, and Other Lies’, adios!
