amateur neurology meets social networking?

[sistawendy]

I've noticed that of the social networks whose user interfaces encourage interaction in closer-to-real time than our beloved LJ, there's a much higher proportion of MOOers* on my Twitter friends list than there is on my Facebook friends list. I'll confess that I too, as a fairly avid MOOer**, find Twitter irresistible. Length limit as constricting as a corset? Do-it-yourself threading? That only adds to the fun for us.

And now I must ask: did MOO make us that way, or were we born MOOers?

*MOO stands for MUD, object oriented. MUD stands for multi-user dungeon.

Special to all you bicyclists out there: can not getting my shifter fixed right away do bad things to my drive train? I worry.

Watch this space for thrifting this weekend! I need to decide where & when.

I think I was born a MOOer, and didn't realize it until I found Lambda.

Your shifter being borked won't hurt anything. It's just irritating. (Proviso: that your derailleur limit screws are set correctly, so a misbehaving shifter can't drive the derailleur into the rear spokes, trashing at least the der and the wheel, and sometimes the frame. Woo hoo! But most likely the der *is* set correctly, and all you'll notice is jiggery shifting.)

I've spent a great deal of time in IRC and MOO (I'm currently off it out of abstinence, not disinterest) but can't get the hang of Twitter. It drives me nuts. *shrug*
