27 followers for my 27th Birthday

Initially, I was to write a post about how my political views don't really reflect my lifestyle but I'm waiting on a cartoon for that one (common Daryl Cagle from MSNBC!), so in the Meantime I'm going to write about "Operation: get 27 followers for my 27th birthday". It seems like a silly operation, I mean who cares about Twitter followers, right? Well, I do. My bestie asked me yesterday why am I so obsessed with the followers, here's our Facebook conversation:

Bestie: LOL! What is the obsession with the followers?! Though, I agree, our people need to get on there! Tweet-tweet... that's the sound of Facebook dying, guys... (*Hi Facebook administrators, please don't cancel my account or anything, I was joking! I LOVE YOU!)

Me: Personal goal, I'm not talented in the blogging area and can't create a video that will go viral so I'm working with what I've got, LOL!

Bestie: lol, I am 100% with you. :) FOLLOW US PEOPLE. ;)

So you see, everyone (yes, my bestie is EVERYONE) wants followers, and I'm just using the resources that are at my disposal to procure those followers. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Anyway, I have had some success because after tweeting about my desire I earned two new followers, bringing the tally up to 11!!! Not too bad for a few hours work. A fellow tweeter even went through the trouble of tweeting this on my behalf:



Lord_Sugar has not responded to this request as of yet so I upped the ante by saying that if he did follow me I'd bake him an honorary cupcake and post a picture of it for him. I plan to follow through on my side if you do the same, Mr. Lord_Sugar.

I'll update this post later when new developments arise.

--UPDATE--

So it looks like Lord_Sugar is too busy to answer my request at the moment. In light of this, I plan to bake whoever becomes my 27th follower an honourary cupcake... because I'm nice like that... and I really want to bake a huge cupcake!!
