"If Turbo Tax asked me if I was married w/ kids one more time I would have sworn it was Christmas and I was drunk and crying in the corner"
So, why do you Tweet?
Well it's a great time waster at work, which is great because I hate my job.  I also like to complain about things.  For some reason, people think that's funny, and I like to make people happy. 
 
And on an average day, how often do you figure that you tweet?
It depends on my level of awesomeness and intoxication.  A perfect storm of Tweeting occurs around my third glass of wine.  That's when I'm really on my A game.
 
Time to brag -- do you have a favorite tweet of your own that you've posted? 
Of course. I crack myself up.  My most favorite is too dirty for publication, so some of my PG-13 favorites are:

"If the lighting in my office bathroom were the lighting everywhere, there would be zero babies."

"My coworker is treating his work like he's brokering a Middle Eastern peace deal. Reality check: You're in HR.  No one gives a sh..."

"Really need to stop drunk facebooking. I keep calling people stupid. Related: who wants to be my friend on facebook?"

"If Turbo Tax asked me if I was married w/ kids one more time I would have sworn it was Christmas and I was drunk and crying in the corner"

Which of your tweets have been the most popular, caused the most stink, or generated the most buzz?
I heart @CWNewsRichmond's question of the day.  When Chris Brown was in Richmond for his concert they asked what questions they should ask him for an interview.  So naturally my question was please ask him what it feels like to beat up women and get away with it?  They retweeted my question and let's just say that a lot of Chris Brown fans are easily angered and prone to violence-which makes sense.
 
Got a good Twitter story?
Nothing in particular, but I do enjoy when people fight on Twitter who know each other "in real life."  It may be one of my favorite things about being alive.
 
Any favorite (good or bad) replies?
Don't make fun of Justin Bieber unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences. JK, you totally can. He's just so little! 
 
If you weren't using your current Twitter handle, what you call yourself?
Probably something like @HireMeRVA or @ThatsWhatSheSaidRVA.  You know, something catchy!

Who are some of your favorite Tweeps that you're currently following?
@JephKelly and @thecheckoutgirl, obviously because they're hilarious. @FilthyRichmond makes me LOL hard on the daily, in public, at work, wherever. People must think I'm insane. 
 
When you're not using Twitter what other platforms tickle your fancy?
I love to hate Facebook.  It's like an obsession. Every time I check it, I know it will make me mad, but I can't not check it.  It's a toxic relationship.  Dr. Phil would not be pleased.
 
What's coming up next for you in 2010, in terms of how you plan to use Twitter or other platforms?
I'm hoping for world domination of the Internet by the end of fourth quarter. Either that, or just Richmond. Fingers crossed!

Eating Cheez-Its (because all food must somehow involve cheese) and my stomach's was all "wha?!" and I'm all "calm it. It's food. deal."
