Misadventures

May31

Karma bitchLately, my life has been one laughable moment after another. Nothing bad, per se except that I have unintentionally made people laugh at stupid stuff I’ve done or have had happened to me.

It all kind of started a few of weeks ago when I was at the gym running one night. I know some people are “surprised” I was at the gym, but I kind of “live” there so whatever. Anyway, this particular night, I wore some grey pants to run in. That was a mistake because about 2/3 of the way through my run, I looked down to see that I was sweating so much that it appeared that I had peed my pants. Had I been wearing black pants to run in, this would not have been a problem.

ANYWAY, when you are at the gym as often as I am, you will start to see the same people around the same time. Lately, I’ve noticed this rather attractive guy there. And he sometimes makes me “Edith googly-eyed” if I see him and he smiles and says hello. (I’M HUMAN OK!) This particular night, when I got to the gym, I didn’t see him so all was well in my world because there was no thinking, do I look unbelievably awful right now?

White Sox Tweet Up

Jun9

On Tuesday, June 8, 2010, the white sox had a tweet up at the ball park where people from the social media industry spoke on uses, etc of social media. This was the first time i had ever gone to a tweet up. I’ve only been on twitter since september of 2009 and that was because of . . . something to do with the White Sox. Yeah, I know you are shocked that I would do something because of the white sox. Anyway, I didn’t actually start tweeting until I saw something about for every hashtag mention of #beatcancer, money would be donated for cancer research. It was a Friday night and needless to say, being that I lead an incredibly exciting life on the weekends, I spent tons of time tweeting “#beatcancer”

So why is how I started tweeting relevant? Well, one of the speakers on the panel was part of the #beatcancer project. She had even stated that one of her success moments in using Twitter was that project. Also on the panel was Amy Jo Martin who was involved in the twitter battle between White Sox fans and Cleveland Indians fans (sox fans won that battle).

The event was held on the Club Level at US Cellular Field (very shi-shi) and it was a pretty cool view from there. I also got to meet someone I follow, StateStreetSports and if you aren’t following you should because will make you crack up and if you dig sports, why would you not follow them? I also met a few other fans of the white sox and baseball in general. I even got into a few “debates” about the merits of Scott Podsednik vs Juan Pierre (not much of a debate of more me disliking someone very strongly) as well as Robin Ventura’s lasting memory.

Overall, it was a great evening, despite the white sox loss. I am now feeling more inclined to go to another tweet up (and for those wondering, it is a big old hanging out of people who are on twitter, but actually in real life and not on twitter). Of course, if it involves baseball or sports in general, even better because, who can’t talk sports all day long?
