No Shopping No Presents NO GUILT!
[From the Christmas Resistance Movement found at Never Neutral]
Thanks to Frank, Winston, Jeneane and jet pack jane, I have started twittering. Do you twitter? And am not sure if it’s fun with all that I have to do. But I do like the idea of twittering … it sounds like Ada looking at the birds out there this cool, cool morning.

Yes. Hmm … strange. I can’t seem to give it up just yet either.
Fun? Perhaps. Useful? Not yet. But like fp, I’m not a big IM on cell/PDA user. Don’t really want to be that wired and connected. Need to be able to let it go and come up for air occasionally. Still tring to find some value or some side use for twitter before I let it slide into my past…
Aha! Well, just for that … you’ve been invited to join us … oh, just for a short try-out – don’t panic, Danny! You can do this!
Yes, I agree completely–so much of my life is made up of those opposing thoughts!
I still can’t comprehend twittering. Oh you crazy kids and your newfangled technology!
Yes, fp. I think twittering would certainly be more effective if I could do it all day from my cell or something. Am not sure that my every day life is that interesting to anyone I know any longer. What a great way to keep in touch, fend off loneliness, or otherwise just have fun!
Ah, Danny, I still love giving presents. But I thought that the link was an interesting one and I do agree with the fact that there is a kind of hysterical madness that happens around this season. And, then, I always believe life is complex. You know, one can love giving gifts but still see the other side to the mania … don’t you think?
I’m not sure I get the value of “twittering” either, although I suspect if I was an Instant Messaging user on a cell phone/PDA that something meaningful might emerge.
I looked at the website but I can’t for the life of me figure out what “twittering” is. What’s the deal?? On the other hand, I’m almost afraid to know since I’ll probably become addicted to it, whatever it is, and I already spend too much time on the computer!
About your quote above, doesn’t that go against your recently stated love of giving presents? Although I normally enjoy giving and receiving, I admit that I cannot bear the thought of entering a mall or shelling out a red cent during this month of insanity and I mostly refuse to do it. But I haven’t completely let go of the guilt.
