Passed 10,000 Tweets since 2008

I’m quite quiet in real life, even more so online. Maybe you think, “that Keri barely talks online”, but actually, my Twitter and this blog is a lot of talking for me.

I can make it through entire dinner parties without speaking. I just don’t see the point of talking most times, and I think people talk too much in general, using 18 words when 2 will do.

I have a dream about not talking. One time I didn’t speak with anyone for 5 days, nice.

This was my 5,000 tweet – May 2011

Last year around this time, I was at 9,000. That’s an average of 2 tweets/day since.

Shhh.

 

I Love #hohoTO, I Go Every Year

If you are on Twitter and live in Southern Ontario, come!

It’s the holiday season’s classiest event, and it raises money for an important cause: feeding hungry Toronto people, because charity starts at home.

Founded in 2008, HoHoTO has been called, “the party that Twitter built”, it’s closing in on $200 000 raised for the Daily Food Bank, and is run completely by volunteers on a budget of nothing.

Queen Rania of Jordan has even used HoHoTO as a shining example of social media influencing online do-gooding.  So cool eh.

Here’s my Twitvid from last year inside the party, which is dark, but you can just feel the fun.

Come ready to buy raffle tickets and donate heavily, make sure to have your photo taken by Photojunkie, cabs home you know the drill, and don’t be shy… this is always the kind of crowd who’ve all been in that boat…. “hi, I know you from Twitter and the internet…”, say hi!

Rannie Blew Me Up

Rannie aka PhotoJunkie put together an exhibition 140 Characters… asked a bunch of us around Toronto to sum ourselves up in 140 characters, photographed us and then threw a great party to celebrate it all.

My 140-character bio:

Sometimes out-of-hand, protective of my imagination, love Canada so much. The trick to a fun life is to quit TV and say yes to everything.

He blew me up into a poster, neat eh, it’s a static cling one you can peel&stick over and over anywhere.  I get to keep it!  And dude, way to position me right beside the door… my spy skills precede me ;)

I think it could be funny for one minute if I put it on the left side of my car and drove around.  Or my other idea was to put it up on a wall, any wall somewhere busy, and stand in front of it like I’m my own mobile meet&greet stand for I’m-not-sure-yet.

Remember when Rannie starred in a Canadian Explorer Episode?
