I'm Funniah on Twittah

(Don't ask about the title. Because I don't know.)

I may or may not have a serious Twitter addiction, though. It might be an issue. In the month that I had my account, I had tweeted almost 100 times.

Startling.

I am, though. I really think I'm funnier on Twitter than I am on Facebook. Which is a pity, because no one ever sees me being funny on Twitter because I don't have many friends that tweet. But I guess that's okay, because the friends I have that DO tweet are super funny.

Maybe that's it.

Maybe their being funny makes ME funny. I also follow a lot of funny people. Maybe the Twitter comedy makes me funnier. I don't know. I really don't know what it is.

You want to know what else is kind of weird? Things that I tweet would not usually be funny on Facebook. I honestly can't explain it, but Twitter is just ... I don't know. More awesome?

(Although, in Facebook's defense, I just cried for a minute when I saw that one of my 'friends' (term used VERY loosely) referred to the Superbowl as the Supperbowel. I don't even think it was a joke.)

(I really love it when I use parentheses (inside parentheses) like that).

Maybe Twitter is better comedy because I can update it no matter where I am, so long as I have my phone. Usually funnier things happen to me when I'm running around in the world, so being able to text and tweet in one fell swoop makes for more amusement.

I may even be funnier on Twitter than I am here. Actually, that's not really saying much because I honestly don't think I'm THAT funny here. Which is sad to me. I should be wickedly funny on my blog.

Yes. I chalk Twitter's funny to it being spontaneous. I can't just write a blog post while I'm out at Target when I see a guy with multiple piercings wearing a Twilight hoodie and purchasing Littlest Pet Shop toys (true story) or when I'm stuck in a dressing room in Urban Outfitters (also a true tweet).

Or maybe it's because Twitter is way less judgmental. I'm friends with people on Facebook that I don't really like because I think they're funny because they're vapid and shallow and really fun to mock. But I think I'm less entertaining because they'll judge me. Twitter is kinder. It's a friendly environment. Friendly = funny.

Facebook, you need to step up your funny. Twitter...basically, you rock.
