You know when you are playing a team sport and you have a play called and you are talking about it and at the end everyone claps their hands and yells “BREAK!”

Well as you read this think of that tone.

cause i am yelling “BREAK!”

I have spent a few days realizing that i should take a break from this little thing called blogging, twitter and facebook.

The play is for me to take 2 weeks off to spend time focusing on me…through continued healing as i am on my journey. To spend some uninterrupted time with Chad as we plan our next steps as the Stevens’. and to refocus my love towards God and remove this little idol that keeps creeping its way into my life.

So from tomorrow AM until December 14th i will be M.I.A. But i will be available by email at lynseleanne[at]gmail.com , but i will not be checking it as often, but i will be checking it twice a day. :)

I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers during these 2 weeks… make sure i dont miss anything too HUGE…kthxbai.

Twitter in Plain English

Do you twitter? If not, does this explain it more? would you consider doing it?

Like i need to give you another reason why i love social media….

Did any of those numbers surprise you?

Today during a meeting i got so excited about something that i saw on twitter and in my excited and passionate voice i said,

I so almost ReTweeted that!

and i didnt think anything of it and moved on. After the meeting someone called me out and said that it was so funny that i just threw that term around like everyone should know what i meant….so the more i thought about it i realized that in the same way Christians have their own language that make it Christianeese and also make the “club” exclusive i think that the social media world has the same…and i wanted to bring those out in a funny matter.

So here are some Social Medianees Words…. (think about these as a 95 year old with no context)

Tweet
RT (ReTweet)
DM’d
@someonesname (while saying “at” to refer to a person)
Tweet Up
Hashtag ( that seriously sounds like a drug)
Followers (sounds self righteous)
Twitpic
Avatar

Those are some of the things that if you say to someone with no twitter context, they would stare at you like you are stupid…i would like to come up with some more for Twitter, Facebook, Blogging.

Its your turn…go…
