Being a blogger is hard! Not only do I have to spend hours attempting to explain to my parents that yes, I do have a job that pays me enough to survive, and while I'm kind of a writer, the things I write about they probably wouldn't understand without some serious (and confusing) context. Aside from that whole mess, I've also become an unofficial ambassador for Twitter. What I mean by that is every time a major news outlet (or TV show) mentions Twitter, soon after I am automatically bombarded by everyone I know, asking, a) What is Twitter? and b) Why should I use Twitter?

So you can imagine what it's been like for me lately, with all the excitement surrounding the microblogging service. The main problem is, I find that I can't really explain why I use it in a way that would convince them that it's worthwhile. I mean, it's Facebook Status but better. That's basically what it boils down to, right? Twitter diehards would severely disagree, and they should, but it's hard to relate the coolness of Twitter to those so inherently unwebby.

That's why, when something amazing happened to me last night, I knew that I would never have to defend the validity of Twitter again to non-users.

I was tweeted at by none other than...

OMG! I should've known -- "bleakosity" is just an example of the many "Mariahisms" the diva spouts daily (for all you D-listers, this is no surprise.) But to just touch greatness like that, HERE is your reason to join Twitter! There are tons of celebrities at your fingertips, waiting for you to tweet at them. Take it from me, it's possible!
