I like Twitter. I like it a lot. I follow lots of people. Friends in real life, local folks who are up to interesting things, journalists, celebrities, what have you. People who are interesting. They make my day go faster.

I follow John Mayer, not just because I like his music (though I do), but because he’s hilarious. He’s been trying to start a new holiday called Pedamundo. (The whole thing was to see if he could get a nonsense word on the trending topics, I think.) People who follow him on Twitter started helping him define the holiday and how it would be celebrated.

So I tweeted, “I’m raising my flag to double-mast in honour of Pedomundo.”

Spelling error, too. Awesome. I’m not an English PhD candidate or anything.

The he tweeted back, “@mittenstrings [that's me] One of the funniest replies I’ve ever seen.”

Okay, so that’s cool enough, right?! I mean, how awesome and random is that? Surely that story couldn’t go anywhere else, right?

OH WAIT. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY.

Helluva day. HLM got promoted, too. But seriously. John Mayer. Entertainment Weekly. WTF.
