I love this TweetStats list of the words I use most on Twitter. It feels colourful and busy and enthusiastic, like someone who does things and describes things - not full of bet-hedging, punch-pulling words and pointless introspection, like some other stuff I've written.

This is of course because I only twitter when I'm away from my computer - in transit, on holidays or at work - and see something I have to describe. But I like the effect.

Hmm... many of those are single occurrences since I don't twit much.

I'm not sure about 'green grilled haddock', 'mullet mustard', 'night oven pain', 'terrible thighs' or 'used veal'.

But I do like 'porky potatoes'. Mmmmmmm.

I like 'sweet sworn terrible thighs', though. Gives it more of a 'terrible beauty' sort of slant.

And such interesting and delicious words. Nom.

I was very impressed by it as poetry/ word play. I was thinking, shit, i wish i could do that. It doesn't diminish it to learn it was generated automatically. nice.

It is nice, isn't it? A found poem. I think it'd be very hard to do something like that deliberately without it seeming contrived.

I want a big birthday book cake now.

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Yes! With... child chocolates? They could hang out with the jelly babies.

(Is any time this weekend good for me to drop over with some plants, btw?)

We're out, on and off, a lot today - between 4 and 6 might be suitable if it's not tipping with rain! - but tomorrow should be fine until about 5pm.

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday, by the way! Have fun today - I can come round tomorrow afternoon some time?

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that'd be fine! narenek'll only be around until about 2.30, but I'm in until 5 at least.

There might even be some cake left. :D

And if you'd tried to pass off that list as a work in itself I'd have taken my Panama off to you.

(It's still a great paragraph)

Bless, my top 5 are "time, Portland, new, Dollhouse, fun".

I've been complaining about Dollhouse incessantly recently but who knew that fun was uppermost in my mind?
