"Without u guys there would be no me"

[semisweet]

this made me smile.

Finally, A Use for Twitter

Sean informed me a few days ago that he had been following "The Real Shaq" on twitter.

"You realize that 'The Real Shaq' is probably a 5'4 White, 14 year old emo kid who's getting his jolly's from the attention, right?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I think it's really him"

Today Sean and I were discussing rumored trade situations over IM, and the possibility of Shaq being traded to Cleveland.

"Well, I just got a twitter from The Real Shaq, and he's at 5 & Diner right now," Sean informed me.

"Let's go then" I said, assuming that I'd finally put this "Real Shaq" crap to rest.

also, i randomly spent, like, an hour reading overheard in new york earlier. i have no idea why.

SHAQ!!!!!!! Dude, I will have to be on the lookout for Shaq at Five N Diners here in Phoenix now.

That's such an awesome story :)

And I too have occasionally lost hours at overheard in new york. I just keep reading and reading.

LMAO! That's hilarious!!! One time I saw Shaq at a bus stop. It was so weird! I was like, "Why is Shaq waiting for the bus?" And then apparently his car broke down.

[likespring.livejournal.com]

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

And overheard in new york is addictive, it's normal to get stuck there ^^

[cinandtonic.livejournal.com]

LOL I totally started following Shaq a few days ago. He's pretty entertaining and I remember reading those tweets LOL
Now I just need some famous twitterers in Orlando to stalk follow...

[forcedmovement.livejournal.com]

What an adorable story, oh my god. IF ONLY PETE COULD DO SHIT LIKE THAT WITHOUT BEING MOBBED BY SCENE KIDS.

[velocityofsound.livejournal.com]

That is AWESOME. But now I want some diner food.

[dizzysyd.livejournal.com]

I've followed Shaq for awhile, 'cause he's so OTT with his flove of Twitter. ...And his hatred of proper grammar/spelling.

I got all the Tweets about him being there as it happened, but I didn't know anyone actually met him.

That rocks.
