A Walk Down Tweetery Lane

This was my very first tweet, back in 2009.  I used the social media network solely to communicate with NASA, although they never communicated back.

Going back over tweets from years ago is a real trip.  Some of it's ridiculous (I didn't name Dougie to my hypothetical Olympic team thirty seconds after Nationals ended in 2011.)  Some of it was emotional.  I'm not going to lie and pretend that I didn't get a little teary just reading about when Dougie became Our Queen, the Lady of Douglas.

And then there was just some random crap.

This was in 2011, if my memory serves.

I still maintain this stance.  If you want professional, go hit up Blythe.  Professional AND hot.  Me, I'm just Spanny Lee Tampson. 

Then there were times when I clearly influenced the future.  

Ironically enough, I'm like the one person who didn't find it to be the best book of all time.  

And did I get that call from casting?  I did not.  /bitterhag.

Not each production was a fun one, however.

We all saw that one coming though.  She never ever should have done that vault.

 *reminder* read the tweets from bottom to top, as they'd appear in your feed.*

Sad even reading about it.

I remember this well.  My entire feed was just three letters, over and over. 

OMG

OMG

OMG

OMG

No one, not Vika, not Jordyn, not Spanny, not Channing Tatum, no one saw that meet finishing the way it did.  

The pure madness that was watching Team Finals live at home alone.  

And of course, who could ever forget our finalists:

#fourmoreyears

Has it really been a month? 

2012 will forever be known as the Twitterlympics, and as such, #fouryears from all over a planet had a platform to air their super important opinions.  Yay technology. 

 We here at STBFS asked for fabulous #fouryear submissions.  This is why I can't even pretend to get into tumblr.

Oh yeah, media outlets are also #fouryears.  

#morefouryears

There are just too many of them.  Four years.  Four years everywhere. Four years as far as the eye can see.  In other news, Tim and Elfie are apparently four years now.

#fouryears

This is about 1/1000000th of what was out there.  The #fouryears are out in force, people.  Enjoy.

Best #fouryear Fan Ever?

I don't mind #fouryear tweets if they read like this:

More Samuel L. Jackson, less everyone else.

Twitter Does Not Sleep

So neither should we. 

Behold.

Let me know if this ever gets boring or horrible.  Because at least I'm having some fun.

Bela Karolyi: Twitter Edition

Another day, another chances to exploit the wonder of Twitter.  Let us waste no time.

Who knew so many people tweet about Bela?  Color me surprised.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Olympic Trials: Twitter Edition Part Two

It's the gift that keeps on giving.  Four year fans.  Is there anything sweeter?

What is the plural of geniuses?  Genui?

Not to be outdone, "professional" media outlets have also taken a stab at horribly butchering their information.

Who knows what will happen in London?  The one thing we know to be true is that people will continue to share their vast wealth of gymnastics knowledge.
