Life online

"You really need to get on twitter."  my aunt said to me when she dropped by this afternoon. "It'll change your life."

Me-:"I have twitter."

Aunt-:"Oh, when did you start? I'll follow you." she started to flip through her phone.

Me-:"A billion years ago when it was first invented. I stopped using it when it became the evil soul sucking plot to take over the universe that it has become. So...haven't used it in about three years."

Aunt-:"How can you not use twitter? It's like facebook, connect you to the world."

Me-:"I haven't used facebook in about five years either, since it became the evil soul sucking plot to take over the universe."

She raised an eyebrow at me laughing. "He just became one of my friends. Here look." she showed me her phone, pointing to some dude on facebook. I had no idea who he was. She elbowed me, not realizing about my ribs, and laughed. "He's cute eh? I watch him all the time." I still had no idea who he was, but I had to agree, he was cute. Dark hair, little on the thin side for my taste though. She nudged me again scrolling through some photos she had in her phone. "He hangs out at the cafe most days, at lest he's been there the last few at lunch. You should come by there, meet him." My aunt had about ten photos of this guy.

Me-:"Who is he?"

She laughed again, wide eyed. "Oh come on! Seriously? He's from the local news."  That would explain why I had no idea who the hell he was, I never watch it. Don't listen to the local radio or read the local newspapers either. "You should start up on twitter and facebook again, follow this guy, friend him or something. He's really funny, sweet guy. Nice to look at eh? And if nothing else..." she shrugged with a big grin on her face. "...little flirting never hurt anyone."

Basically, my aunt just told me I should stalk the local reporter.
