San Francisco Open Your Golden Gates!

Posted on | April 14, 2009 | 9 Comments

Yay! Congrats to M for noticing my new tagline. And I guess it’s not as funny as it was to me two days ago when I thought of it. My thought went like this: “I am so fucking sick of ‘Social Media Experts’ following me on Twitter, but I can’t exactly write that on the internets so I must make fun of it in some way…how to do that…OH I know, I’ll declare myself The Empress of Social Mediocrity and that will be funny. And I will post that on Twitter, but not all of my admirers will see that because there are people who are crazy don’t belong to twitter and so how will they see my sheer brilliance??? I must add it to my blog! But how? I know! My tagline! I’ll change my tagline to ‘I am the Empress of Social Mediocrity’…but wait…what’s funnier than that…I know! Someone else saying it! That’s hysterical! But who should say it? I KNOW — THE CREATOR OF TWITTER!!!”

And that, my friends, is the birth of humor.

Also, I will be in San Francisco starting this afternoon and lasting two food-filled days. I will be with Kiala. We will either be live-tweeting the whole thing or not posting at all. It really depends on how clever we feel we’re being.

Here are two San Francisco pictures for you –

And my author picture from Upstream. Who can tell me what structure that is in the background?

    I think that I would like to declare myself something too…Queen of Fucking Everything is nice and all but you know, it’s a lot to live up to.

    I’ll be back if I come up with anything clever like you did.

    Have fun with Kiala!!!

    My first thought was that your new tagline was spoken by a mediocre well whiskey. Then I realized that a mediocre well whiskey invented twitter.

    That structure in the background is a palm tree, because this is California and that’s what we have here, palm trees.

    I vote for no “live-tweeting” or posting anything about it at all – enjoy your trip and your time away from the internet.

    I like being with the internet all the time. I will live tweet everything.
