Top 10 Tuesday: Some Of My Favorite Tweets from 2008

in Top 10 Tuesday

Yes I went through them all (luckily before twitter took a fail whale for the worst this morning). And no I just couldn’t limit them to 10, so instead I picked 25 and the title “Top 10 Tuesday” is now completely misleading. Oh well. It’s my blog. Get over it.

03/25/08: When your sister says “There’s a man throwing up into a shopping cart in the middle of our street” just take her word for it and don’t look.

I actually remember this happening. I’m fairly certain I got completely disgusted, gagged, and immediately twittered.

03/27/08: Exchange of the night – Girl: “Oh she’s home doing something like … arts and crafts?” Boy: “All I do at home are farts and craps.”

I don’t remember WHO this was about, but I do remember I was at Fuji eating sushi with Sarah. This was apparently part of our classy conversation.

03/31/08: I now remember why I hate Jelly Belly mixed jellybean bags: I just ate one that tasted the way a dirty litterbox smells. SAD FACE.

I still haven’t touched a mix bag of Jelly Bellys since!

04/01/08: Weirdest conversation today: “J, I’ve a HUGE favor to ask: I need to borrow your giant lobster for a pitch.” “Have it. I hate that thing.”

What I work in Boston tourism. I have a lot of lobsters lying around. I can count 5 from where I’m sitting right now.

04/03/08: Word of the day: HOBO. Go forth and overuse it.

Still one of my favorite words. I called myself a hobo earlier.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

04/07/08: Drunk twittering on a Monday seems offensive.

I wish I remembered where I was, but – hello? It’s me. This isn’t exactly a rarity.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

04/10/08: My coworkers and I just had a 20 minute discussion about eggs. I had no idea there was so much to say about them.

I’m glad I don’t remember that conversation, though the thought of it still makes me laugh.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

04/17/08: I’ve been walking around in a god damn see-through shirt all day. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW “FRIENDS”.

After, I went to H&M and bought a flesh colored tank. Which I still layer under a lot of shirts. Quite possibly the best $7 I spent in 2008.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

05/27/08: Good decision of the night? Buying a bottle of wine at the grocery store. Best decision of the night? Finishing it.

It was pinot grigio. And it was delicious.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

06/25/08: Just overheard a coworker say “Mine start as bubbles under my skin. If I pop them they spread all over.” How about let’s NOT go there.

Yeah let’s STILL not go there.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

07/18/08: Tried REALLY hard to take a disco nap. But I’m just too excited. FAIL.

Aw! Blogher!

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

7/18/08: “Twist my arm and a little booze will come out” – amber.

This was the where I debut the term “Muppet Face”!!

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

7/18/08: “I love everyone. It smells like garbage.” – me.

Garbage is still one of my favorite words.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

07/29/08: so @pinkshoe just admitted to having a sex dream about Brian Griffin. Yes, THE DOG.

This was at Andy’s birthday at dbar for Showtune Tuesday. I cried I was laughing so hard.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

08/04/08: Was just told “You look like a German baker. Pastry with sausage type.”

I do NOT remember why someone told me this. But I appreciate their …. honesty?

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

8/5/08: “These boys can’t handle a beaver with a kickstand” – mizery.

Post-SummerMash TechKaraoke at Jacques Caberet. Mizery gets me everytime. She’s a comedian, that one.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

08/23/08: You know you’re all over the internet when making plans your friend says “I’ll send you a message to 1 of your 23 forms of electronic media”

Sums me up pretty well.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

08/25/08: tearing around Pinehills Golf Course in a golf cart. immediately followed by 08/25/08: aaaaand my golf cart died. In the woods.

I’m a hot mess.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

08/27/08: Just listened to someone who doesn’t understand Twitter try to describe it to her friend: “It’s like Facebook comments for cell phones.”

I love this stuff. I’ve heard a lot of “explanations” of Twitter, but this was by far the best.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

09/16/08: is excited that my iPhone finally accepts that I have a dirty, swearing mouth.

YAY!

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

09/23/08: Been walking around in an old bathrobe & sweatpants. My sister just said “You look so ugly right now.” I’m so glad I have her …

My sister is my bestie.

10/10/08: “Jenny, you are GayBeard, scourge of the seas” – @pinkshoe

Need I say more? NEED I SAY MORE? Thanks Sarah :)

11/25/08: fruit loop!

Ahhh. Andrew enters my picture. We were at dbar for Showtune Tuesday and were going to do a loop around the bar to find the cute (gay) boys. An activity we then labeled “Fruit looping”. Later this evening Andrew’s coat got stolen. WITH ALL OF HIS KEYS (car, home, etc) IN IT.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

12/01/08: I love when people jumble Facebook and Myspace and call it “MyFace” – as in “Are you on MyFace?”. Why yes, yes I am.

CLASSIC!!

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

12/21/08: “Come meet us at Tremont 647!” “Ok where is it?” “Um, really?”

This was honestly one of my best days of 2008. There was a group of 8 of us and we brunched for FOUR HOURS. It’s also the day we officially became an Urban Family.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

2008 was a great year. 2009 will only be better.

I have lurked here from Loo’s blog for awhile… she’s a good friend of mine! I think you Tweeted my life right there… are we long lost sisters? The lobster one really got me. I’m in marketing too, and always in search of the most random necessities! I spent hours in Portsmouth on Monday looking for a rubber duck and a corkscrew for an awards banquet. Ah, marketing: life is a scavenger hunt.

OMGWTFBBQ, I still count the very first picture you uploaded from BlogHer “The moronathon has begun” (or something!) as one of my top 10 favorite pictures (and moments) of 2008. How the eff were we supposed to know to take a separate set of elevators? Those hosers.

(This year is going to be UH-mazing. Now when are you coming to Portland again? I am tired of missing you. xoxo)

Oh my heavens, I had forgotten about that. Awesome. MUPPETS UNITE!
