I only need 2 books this semester, and the total will be close to 90 bucks. 3 classes FTW!

I'm way too into How I Met Your Mother. I find myself thinking like Barney all the time during the day lol.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I realize this article is oldish, but I just found out about it.

4. Please don't link your Foursquare and Twitter accounts. Your Twitter followers signed up for your Twitter content, not the fact that you just became the mayor of Starbucks.

This.

7. Don't ask to be followed. Twitter is a meritocracy. Earn it.

8. Don't tweet out inspirational quotes unless that's the purpose of your account. By now everyone has heard "Carpe Diem, seize the day." -Horace

24. Never ask for a RT (Retweet) for your birthday (or for any reason).

These too.

11. Don't be tempted by the speed of Twitter. Take a breath before each tweet and ask, "If I was a follower, would I want to read this?” If not, delete it.

Yeah, I don't do that. You'll read my stream of consciousness and like it, dammit.

32. Instead of complaining about spam bots offering you free iPads, take 3 seconds and report them as spam. Help solve the problem.

**** that. Gotta spam that follower count.

34. Go through who you're following every few months. Weed out the bad, the non-existent & those you feel don't suit your interests.

Yeah, that list has gotten too big. I'm not weeding through nearly 600 people.

47. Often referred to as a "Master Tweet," never, ever RT yourself.

RT @jessegennigen: Bull****.

50. Create lists to sort your interests. It will come in handy when you want a specific group’s most recent tweets.

Lists are for wusses. I demand insanity! INSANITY, I TELL YOU!

63. Just because this isn't face-to-face communication doesn't mean you should disrespect people. There are real humans behind the computers.

Kim Kardashian is a whore.

65. Don't give your followers a play-by-play or box score of a sporting event. If they are interested, they are watching.

Again guilty. And again, deal with it.

72. If you have 200,000 followers and you follow no one, you aren’t getting the full Twitter experience. Twitter isn't a megaphone, it's a telephone.

Screw that. Do as Jay Bilas does. He's King of Twitter.

73. Don't always use Twitter's "Retweet" button. If you find something worth retweeting, use "RT" & get the credit you deserve for finding it.

You underestimate my laziness, Rovell.

75. Following athletes/celebrities is usually pointless. Twitter is about good tweets; not hearing an NBA star say, "What's good, fellas?!" Make a list if you want to follow them, but don't invite them into your timeline.

Boo.

77. Have a good tweet at 3:17AM? If you're not the first to tweet the Vancouver riot kissing couple, hold on to it. Chances are you'll get more eyeballs at 10:00AM.

It's only 1:17 AM in the West, and they need to know my genius!

80. Network! Twitter allows you to connect with just about anyone. Reach out... You'd be surprised how quickly you can hit it off.

Every time I try to network with Zooey, she ignores me.

84. Stop forming your tweets as hypothetical letters to inanimate objects. "Dear Sun: I am very hot today. Shine away. Sincerely, Me." This was creative about a year ago.

More guilt. More dealing with it.

86. Keep the smiley faces & CAPS to a bare minimum. I'm sure you're happy, but you're not that HAPPY.

YOU DON'T TELL ME HOW HAPPY I AM!

88. Stay away from song lyrics, even if it describes your mood perfectly.

This. Should be punishable by death.

89. Don't overdo it with the #hashtags. A few key words is fine, but the run-on sentence hash tag has been done.

#DieInAFire

99. I don't care how ugly you think you are, set an avatar. Nobody wants to follow a colored egg. It only means your future on Twitter is "cooked."

Despite the hacky writing, also this.

100. Spend time with people you know in real life because who are you going to talk to when Twitter gets over capacity?

If you've never had a heart-to-heart with the Fail Whale, you aren't human.

Bummer. Guess everyone will be using other services for MLB the show sounds for '12. Sucks because I thought theirs was the easiest to use without creating an account.

Well ****. I used Megaupload all the time, actually uploaded legitimate stuff I created. I really hate all the other D/L's sites too, MU was far and away the best.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Alright, so is Megaupload already down? I'm trying to download an up-to-date TEW mod, but I can't even connect to it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Tonight I'm going to sleep earlier than usual because tomorrow at midday I've my driving exam. I'm somewhat nervious despite that I believe I'm going to get my license, I've been practising too much to fail.

MU was the one that downloaded the fastest to me by far. Besides, I uploaded backups of some important files of mine.

I thought the same thing before taking mine for the first time. I failed. I shouldn't have though, the tester I got was apparently well known for failing people if he suspected it was their first time.
