You should be grateful that I don't tweet!

I'm amazed at all of the people who get upset and insulting because I don't use twitter. I don't mind if they tweet, and it shouldn't bother them that I don't. Actually, the whole world should be grateful that I don't tweet. I'm an organic farmer and a cat lady. Imagine the twitter: "10:00-spreading manure, 10:30-Sassafras spit up a hairball..."

Honestly, my brain isn't wired for twitter. There's so much info coming at me from so many different people that I can't remember who sent what. I'd have to take notes to keep up with everything. As a matter of courtesy, I like to be able to tell one person from another. Constantly confusing people shows a lack of appreciation for them as individuals.

Also, I'm tough on portable electronic devices, so I usually leave them in a safe place whenever I'm busy with something which takes away from the immediacy of something like twitter or texting. I'm one of those "on task" people-I concentrate on the task at hand, so that I can finish up and go on to other things like leisurely communicating with people when I can give them the full attention that they deserve. It's just a different style, neither better nor worse than the multitasking thing.

If I ever want to frighten someone, I'll threaten to tweet.

i'm so ADD i'd never get anything done if i twittered or tweeted or whatever. all it takes is one 'ooo shiny' moment and my task at hand is blown from my mind while i'm off and running in another direction.

I have a condition that causes periodic ADD. I don't know what I'd do if it occured all the time. I've noticed that some people with ADD actually perform tasks better because they know that they have to concentrate. I've tutored ADD kids, and they can "flip" and display intense concentration when conditions are right.

Don't you just love it when your mind moves from subject to subject at high speeds in ways that others can't understand? It just means that you're creative and unique.
