More on Facebook and Twitter

bibliofile posted a link to a NY Times article on digital intimacy that makes me understand a little more why Twitter is the big thing. It also mentions "parasocial relationships" which I couldn't help but connect up with fandom, e.g. that otaku who wants to marry Mikuru Asahina

PROPER pronuciation says two, however, slang has three syllables

[ouatic_7]

All of my poems are in the common argot so I used three syllables.

[takadai_no_tora]

Yeah, but if you needed it to be two syllables to fit, you could say it was...

[ouatic_7]

Ahhh, but I wanted three.

[nokomarie]

I don't make the cut, do I?

[ouatic_7]

Which cut?

You make all my cuts except when I'm looking for technical help.

[nokomarie]

Bwo-hoo-hoo, the kitty cat kutz!

I thought you knew everything.

One reason that I'm such a terrible poet is that my accent makes me count syllables wrong. girl = grr-ull, whirlwind = whirr-ull-wind

For me, it's definitely crack-ul-ling. Thus, the answer is probably two.

[ouatic_7]

I'm a bad poet because I can't tell meter. Fortunately, haiku have different rules. Not that this means my haiku are good but meter isn't the issue.

Now you're just being mean.

[nokomarie]

Depends, pork rinds or log cinders?

[ouatic_7]

Dryers.

You are on your own there.
