I'm still standing, still crazy after all these years, it's still rock 'n roll to me

Don't be a dick on the Internet, because Wil Wheaton might be watching
I had this rather long and rambly entry that I'd been picking at all evening, but ultimately it comes down to this: though I am not Twitterpated myself, I am intrigued by the way Twitter seems to be dismantling (for lack of a better word) the walls between celebrities and ordinary folks like you and me ( Read more... ) -
