Oh for fuck sake... Twitter

Its finally happened. After two years of swearing off social networking sites I was lured to Twitter by Frankie Boyle like a child to Michael Jackson with a theme park and a cash settlement. Eventually I found a tweet sent to him that was so stupid I signed up under "RaphielDrake" just so I could mock it. As time goes by my IQ will decrease and I will slowly turn into a vegetable. In five years time I will have a brief moment of horrified sentience when I realise what has happened. I will take my life leaving a crumpled note with only one word desperately scrawled on it in large, shaky letters;
"LOL"
If anyone else here finds themselves already doomed to the same fate feel free to add me so we can waste hours of our lives trading inane banter that will eventually lead us to becoming social cripples.

Too late bitches, too late.
By the time I'm done it'll be an irrevocable fact that I am going to burn...
because there will be people making effigies of me around the world and setting fire to them.

I've been on Twitter since 2007. I stopped using it in the past few months because of all the stupid retweets and links people send out. That's like 99 percent of what gets sent out now.
It was really fun when people would use Twitter to make clever jokes, interesting observations, or join in on conversations. But now it's all like "RT @stupidcelebrity ..." or "I'm now mayor of the lamppost on 45th street" or "Look at my faux vintage photo of my cat on instagram..."
There are still a few people on Twitter who haven't whored out their timeline that so I might just have to whittle down my follower list from the close to 300 people it's at now to about 20 or so.

One of my mates (yes I do have them) has been nagging me to go on twitter, but I only see myself having about 2 followers if I bloody join.
Then again, I don't really care about silly virtual numbers *ahem*repwhore*ahem*.

Not to contradict you but;
"BillyJamesHall@
RaphielDrake your mums vagina is so hairy you got carpet burns when she gave birth. Genuinely it looks like a stab wound on a gorillas back
RaphielDrake@BillyJamesHall And thats the story behind why you're on a sex offenders register and not allowed back at Colchester zoo."

I'd follow you. I mean I assume you'd be ripping people to shreds on a regular basis so at the very least it would be entertaining.

I don't have a twitter. I used to have one for no better reason than to follow my favorite WWE Superstars. I deleted it for a reason I no longer recall.

Stone Cold Steve Austin remembers Aleia.
Stone Cold Steve Austin remembers turning around to find you inside his house and wearing his clothes silently watching him.
Stone Cold Steve Austin remembers the restraining order he was forced to file for and the judges decision to make you delete your account.
Stone Cold Steve Austin will always remember... and he will never be the same.

I'd use twitter to try and drum up some business, but I don't exactly know how to get followers. Preferably followers who are willing to pay.
I live on facebook. Come see me there.
