First and foremost, I don't want a Twitter. I dislike most websites that fall under the heading of "social networking." Also, I don't care what I do all day. If I were doing anything interesting enough to warrant frequent documentation, I wouldn't have the time.
Sometimes, though, I think about what I would write in my hypothetical Twitter. Or something will happen, and I'll think it's just the sort of thing I would Twitter about. You know, stuff that's not really blog-appropriate. I thought about compiling some of these things, and making a blog entry about Things I Would Have Twittered, but I never actually write them down, and then I forget about them and no longer care.
Furthermore, while I may want to write these things down, I don't exactly want people to read them. I don't want people to follow me, I don't want to follow anyone, I especially don't want to follow anyone famous, and I don't want to be in any way connectable or findable. (I totally Googled some people I knew in high school yesterday.)
On some other hand, though, Twitter would provide a great venue for cryptic one-liners. And those are my favorite. I would be utterly delighted to give my inscrutable gibberish as little context as possible. I am positively itching to let you know everything while letting you know nothing!!
... It is not and has never been a mystery why I have trouble socializing.

Why I simultaneously need, and do not need, a Twitter.

If I didn't know you better, I would think you were my best friend Lab.
You two. And your one-liners.
SHEESH.

Hahaha, years of having my grandparents complain that they can't understand my blog have trained me out of being too cryptic. *sigh*. I used to be really good at it, too. Particularly 'cryptic and disturbing'. Or 'cryptic and she makes me worry about her'.
So weird. I was just thinking about making a blog entry about Twitter, and why I haven't joined it (and probably never will).
FWIW, I think a blog post containing all your would-be-tweets* would rock.
*is it "tweets"? or "twits"? Eh. Yet another reason I dislike the whole thing.

Also: Humanity - Twittering to the very end.
P@ - tweets are written by twits.
Incidentally, I once wrote a blog post of all the things I would twitter if I twittered, as the reason I would never twitter. I compared it to all the things I twitter now that I twitter and I was SPOT ON.
P@, the terminology is a whole other reason (aside from the obvious ones) to give it a pass. Tweet? Twits? Twittering? Not for me, thanks.
Well. Despite twittering, I completely agree.
THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE.
