A Kind Stranger

I'm feeling anything but creative today, and have been for the past week or so – hence no blog posts. My studies won’t allow me to procrastinate and finding inspiration is difficult when you can’t surf the net aimlessly. I was thinking about writing about school but that’s been done on a few occasions and I’m bored of it. I’m bored of everything right now.

The only thing I’m looking forward to is baking a giant-sized cupcake this weekend to honour some very kind strangers who helped me reach, and surpass, my goal of accumulating 27 followers for my 27th birthday. I had given myself over a month to reach this goal (my Birthday is on April 25th) because not too many of my “real-life” friends are on Twitter, but regardless, the goal has been met and I should explain how.

My best friend sent me a message saying that I should “follow” one individual in particular for x reason. So I did. Then, this one follower followed me back and so I thanked him for being my 13th follower and told him about my plan. Then I logged off of Twitter to plough through some tedious and excruciating Greek exercises for school. Obviously, being the procrastinator that I am, I logged back on to Twitter about 10 minutes later. I had 29 followers. I tweeted “I think Twitter has a glitch…” then checked my “mentions” and saw that this individual had mentioned me in a post saying that he was the glitch. I scrolled down to find several “mentions” about me, one saying “I think she’s logged off, we’ll freak her out”. So, this one, very kind, stranger took the time to encourage others to follow me. I now have 39 followers, three of which I actually know in real life.

I had promised to bake an honorary cupcake for my 27th follower, but now I bake one for all of the people who helped me reach my goal including this kind stranger and my bestie.

I have been planning the giant cupcake in my head for a few days now and am really excited to bake it. I’ll be sure to take pictures of the process and the final product for my Cakes and Bakes page.

I know, this post is not funny at all, usually I at least giggle while I write my posts… obviously school is draining me. Hopefully I’ll be funnier by my next post.

Thanks for bearing with me.

P.S. I wrote this post in Word and now my internet is fucking with me, yet again. I hate this goddamn internet connection bullshit!
