  1. I'm trying to characterize social media and this is
    what I came up with:

    Instagram: My life is a party.
    Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show
    Facebook: My life turned out great!
    Twitter: WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

    Twitter: Your jokes suck
    Instagram: Your face sucks
    Snapchat: Your life sucks
    Facebook: Your family misses you and is also racist

    Facebook: Essential oils.
    Snapchat: I'm a bunny!
    Instagram: I ate a hamburger.
    Twitter: THIS COUNTRY IS BURNING TO THE GROUND!

    If I had to join one, I think it would be Twitter.
    Looks like that's where most of the entertainment is.

    Happy Friday Miss C.

  2. Happy Friday, gwdMaine! I must admit that I browse Twitter occasionally, because the people I found to follow are either hilarious or good at linking things I can use.
