Twit This

The other day at work I wanted to see how many of you had commented recently on my blog (zero it turns out) but I had forgotten my blog web address. I did what any person on the planet would do (except in China where it’s blocked) and googled Narcissistic Musings. Much to my horror I found that others have thought of the same brilliant phrase.

Take for example the blog Musings of a Narcissist (hosted by Google), where the author states “I'm poor, fat, and single and it's really starting to piss me off”. It hasn’t been updated since July 1st, 2008.  Apparently she either got thin, rich, married, or gave up being pissed - good for her.

Or the even more cleverly named Narcissistic Somniloquist (one who talks about themselves while they sleep). Now why couldn’t I come up with a fantastic phrase like that?   Could be due to having to look up what Somniloquist meant.  The author doesn’t update often and seems to have too many entries on the happenings in the oil industry… don't ask me how this ties into the blog title.

Oddly, there were tons of entires at Google that purportedly examined the narcissistic tendencies of those who have Twitter accounts. This reminded me that I have an account too, but couldn't tell you what my account details are since the day I signed up. Even having not logged in for over two years I get an email every once in a while letting me know I have yet another follower. It’s always a female who probably wants me to "friend" or "twit" her, or whatever it's called, so she can try to sell me something but still I’m flattered I have about 50 followers I don't know and have certainly have never tweeted.

I went through six pages at Google and couldn't find a single reference to my blog.  This blog is hosted by Google.  I'm thinking I might need to change the background color or even the font of the blog.
