I used to hate the idea of Twitter and I was utterly opposed to becoming part of it.

The idea of random people watching what I was doing seemed weird and useless. I don't love being in the spotlight, I'm even a bit of a recluse at times. So it seemed exceptionally out of character to want to have people follow my random thoughts...

That is, until I realized what I was missing out on.

I want to grow a community. I want to contribute. I have something to bring to the table and I'm not going to wait for my opportunity to fall into my lap. Twitter is my attempt at that.

I'm not on Twitter so that I can be part of the bandwagon--really it's the opposite. I want to fight the trends in my life of being lazy and settling for what is easy to get.
