LENA DUNHAM RETWEETED AND REPLIED TO ME ON TWITTER TODAY

Jan 18, 2014#1

Charlie Don't Surf

SO I started out livetweeting my thousandth viewing of Scream like I do. Then on a whim, I tweeted at Lena Dunham, the super talented writer/director/actress/creator of Girls.

THEN SHE RT-ED AND REPLIED TO ME

THEN CHRIS CONNELLY FAVORITED THAT TWEET

Also a senior editor on buzzfeed and an editor of some other semi-big online site not big enough to namedrop favorited the tweet. I'm kind of a big deal now, and I'm accepting suggestions for how to expand my brand.

Do you need an entourage?

Are we standing in the presence of a deity? Should we kneel?

Kris Straub once got drunk on a 4 hour mega-podcast and by the end of it was playing guitar and singing songs about how he was gonna rape me and Ben Paddon. It was strange.

Have you told your parents yet? This is something I think they would be proud to hear about.

it took me a really long time to explain to my dad what twitter was, who lena dunham was, what a retweet was, what replying to someone was, what a follower was, and then I gave up before I got to Chris Connelly and buzzfeed

then he asked when I was going to give him grandkids

After all that and he's still ever the optimist, eh?

Is it bad I thought this had to do with Jeff Dunham?

No one would admit to having Jeff Dunham tweet to them.

No, but Peanut once liked a status of mine on Facebook.

(No, not really. And I have no idea who Lena Dunham is.)

Jan 20, 2014#22

I literally say who Lena Dunham is in the second sentence of the post

I understand, but that gives me no personal frame of reference. I suppose I could look her up on IMDB and see what else she's done. I don't watch Girls, know anything about Girls, or care about Girls. But I rather doubt I'm their demographic.

Charlie Don't Surf

Well, I just mean she's a critically acclaimed writer/director/actress, that's a big step above from 'no idea', even if you haven't seen anything she's done

True, but that doesn't mean I know her, regardless of what you have said. Anyway, don't mean to hijack your thread, I just came in to make the Peanut joke.

So, @Charlie Don't Surf, you haven't told us the important part yet...

Did you sell the couch?

This has been a surprisingly funny read. Thanks thread.

One-upping Charlie. I feel good.

Well, I'm super jealous. How hard would it be for me to kill you and assume your identity by next week?

I've heard he's a bit of a misogynist. That shouldn't be a problem for @Mathias, of course.

An acquaintance of my wife worked for him for a while and, if I recall correctly, quit because of his inappropriate behavior to her and other women. Take it with a cup of salt.

I'll be sure to comment on all the fine ass present at the conference!

There's actually a lot of shitting on Neil. I've heard that he's really arrogant and talks down to people. I think it mostly stems from the fact that he knows his stuff. He's a pretty public figure and I know from experience we scientists can come off as pricks to the layman.

I, on the other hand, am completely lacking any sense of decorum and marked it funny anyway.
