Yesterday was my day. Seriously. I just happened to log on right 5 seconds after @Vogue_London tweeted this: So I hit the retweet button and then checked the search for the hashtag. Looky there! I was first. I waited a few minutes and then saw this pop up: HURRAH! So I'm going to Cirque du Soleil tonight to see Varekai. I'm super excited. I've never had the opportunity to see a Cirque performance before. They are showing at Royal Albert Hall, which is a magnificent venue. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!! About twenty minutes later, I saw a tweet from @LOVEFiLM about a special screening. I didn't read about the movie or see if there were extra details. I just figured I'd reply with Angelina Jolie: Since Twitter limits the message to 140 characters (and this screenshot became blurry in the resizing), the full version would read: Angelina Jolie: She wore a vial of former husband Jonny Lee Miller's blood around her neck; She married Billy Bob Thornton and had his name tattooed on her shoulder (before having it covered up); shared a very controversial kiss with her brother at the Golden Globes when she won for Girl, Interrupted; and appears to be making her own mini UN through adoption. Apparently, my answer won over the jugdes: Now I am on the guest list for a special multimedia screening of The Crazies, which looks scary despite the slightly unoriginal sounding plot. I have a conflict currently, so I'm seeing if I can switch things around so I can attend, assuming I can talk someone into going with me. I need someone who doesnt mind that I cover my eyes, plug my ears or dig my nails into their arm. Any takers? When people ask me why I use Twitter, I give them a ton of reasons. Yesterday is a good example of why. Who doesn't love winning a free night out? On the business side of it, Vogue and LOVEFiLM both received some extra tweets from me yesterday, along with the responses and RTs of many others during the competitions. Just as I won something from them yesterday, I hope they win something from me: followers from my list. I'll be sure to tweet the love today and Monday to show my appreciation.
