Twitterwhore
Thanks Twanna, for this article.
46% of women would go for two weeks without sex over two weeks without internet access.
Hands down.

Yes, I would give up sex for two weeks before I’d give up my internet access. Of course, without my internet access, I may not be getting as much sex anyway.
The internet is necessary for my hobbies, for me to keep in touch with my friends, my lovers, and my some of my other business ventures. Without the internet, how would I what is going on in the world? How will I get from work to the specialty store I want to go to. How will I know what time the movie starts?
Worse yet? What would I do without Twitter?
How would I survive without knowing what Essinem or Thursdays_Child are doing, or if I did not have access to pictures of Tess‘ tits.
If I didn’t know what Mia was watching on TV, I wouldn’t know what to do at night.
You think I’m kidding.
If I didn’t have twitter, I would not know how fast Twisted Monk’s color of the month sold out (30 minutes for his latest color). I would not know what Jack was cooking for himself or his lover. I would not keep up with my dearest friends Lilly or Diva, because heaven forbid I pick up the telephone and CALL either one of them. I wouldn’t get glimpses of Mariella’s newest dress. I would not be able to share ideas about about sissy men without Janie. I would be completely in the dark about the awesomeness of the Instead Cup and menstrual sponge had it not been for Audacia Ray. I’d never have been able to review the last three books for Rachel, and you know I love the dirty books.
Here is the beauty of Twitter. My twitter followers, and the ones I follow are “my people.” If I have a question on something tech-ish, I put it to my people. Case in point, a month ago I asked the question “How do you set the iphone to vibrate?” Within 2 minutes I had 5 answers. Just like that. Who needs google? Anyone looking for a meal idea? A rare gift, a place to stay or the where to find free Wi-Fi in Manhattan? Just send it out to your twitter.
If your people are as awesome as my people, it will come back to you. Last week I said I needed a hug. I got TWENTY!!! If you are any kind of internet person, you know that a virtual hug carries the same sincerity as a real live one.
I’ve gone without sex for over a week now- what’s another week?
However, take away my “people” for even a day- and things will get ugly really fast.
I love this post! And agree with you 100%. If not for the internet I wouldn’t have people such as you and Tess in my life who I don’t go a day without having some type of contact with now.
The moments when we are able to talk in person or on the phone are extra special for me. So I’ll give up two weeks of sex but DON’T TAKE MY INTERNET AWAY!
Thanks for the shout-out, ma!
I know I’d feel hopelessly alone in all of my collegiate procrastinating if you weren’t there tweeting every Sunday night about the homework you probably should be doing. Solidarity sisters :]
I’m completely with you on this. I’m far too curmudgeonly to actually call people on the phone, but the internet…it’s my kind of contact, and it filters my grouchiness so well!
Life in my house comes to a complete halt without proper internet access or cable tv. Really. The two weeks without sex has happened on occasion too (although not because we wanted it that way). But the internet? I must have it. All the time.
peace…
yes, my name is Kyle, and I’m a twitterwhore too. What would I do without all the beautiful people to flirt with and help me out of my bad moods? And I get a chance to help others out of their bad moods. We keep up with the day to day, offer advice, share gossip and information.
I’ve been on the internet since Mosaic was the only web browser and there’s no way I could live without it at this point.. and it keeps getting cooler!
love you BBG, see you in twitspace
