BU TweetCreep: January 15th – January 20th

By | Jan 20th, 2012

HAPPY 2012, TWEETCREEP READERS! I hope you are all enjoying the overly crowded gyms (just stick it out until February and things will go back to normal).

What an eventful 2012 this has been thus far! Ups and downs. On the upside, it snowed! Which is only good because the  Twitter groundhog himself, Horatio Malone (@busnowalert), has popped his head out yet again after being fairly dormant once the Halloweekend snow melted. And downs, both Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry have joined the ranks of Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann in dropping out of the presidential race. Gone, but never forgotten. (Mainly referring to Cain, the Charlie Sheen of presidential candidates.)

And the really downs? SOPA. Of course. And the REALLYREALLYREALLY downs? A politician in Louisiana is looking to ban wearing pajama pants in public. Time to stock up on pajama jeans before it’s too late, people!

Enough negativity! On to the tweets! I could say it, but I think I’ll let the @dearabbeys say it for me…

Although I love me a good shiny object, the last time I used that logic was at a frat party, and I woke up in Marsh Chapel dressed as the BC mascot.

Sensing a bit of passive-aggressiveness on that second tweet. And also, I wouldn’t call thousand island dressing and mayo mixed together a “secret recipe.”

Also, when you’re on your way to class and it gets so cold you want to cry, don’t. Your tears will only freeze. Seriously. They will.
