Some of you may remember back far enough in 6MOB history (or ‘herstory’ for you ladies) to the throwing out of TVs. Drastic? Yes. But nonetheless, every bible college students loves a good melodramatic moment. But what happens if you’ve already gotten rid of your TV? What’s next to ditch?
Well, we all know social networks are from the devil. Unless of course you can figure out how to sue them for your ministry. Then, they’re ok. But for the bible college student looking for something to jump up and down on, twitter is the perfect candidate.
Once they’ve decided twitter is now an unacceptable avenue for invading people’s digital space, they pretty much follow a uniform break up process:
1. Love those tweets. All about them. Nothing but the tweets.
Updating those statuses like a maniac. A twitter maniac. A twaniac!
2. Start quoting the dead guys.
No one living can be as profound as the dead. So we must tweet the dead.
3. Retweeting with your buds, but nothing else.
It becomes like an inside community of inside jokes with inside laughs and inside stories and inside fun.
4. View only situation.
Check those tweets just so you can get the sumery of your favorite sports team; the SF Giants.
5. Make your account private, and decide to ‘fast’ from it for a little bit.
Fasting is good. And only boring bible college students fast food, the really creative and edgy bible college students fast something epic. Like twitter.
6. Almost delete the account.
Right before you do, you decide to simply just not log in. You know, to exercise your self-control… And to make sure no one steals your username.
