It’s one of those things that I can point to in defense of my friendships when people say, “Internet friends cannot possibly be ‘real friends’”. Of course, I’ve met in person just about everyone who is participating in “Flower Friday” today, but we connected via the internet.
Twitter is difficult to justify to people who don’t get it and think it’s stupid (and, granted, it’s difficult to use if you don’t know anyone else on it), but it’s things like “Flower Friday” that make it fun. Nicole is mastermind of many awesome, creative things, and started this as a quirky tribute to our friend Sarah.
If you’re on Twitter and want to participate, go to FlowerFriday.com for more information, and download the flower to put on your own avatar. It’s fun!
Happy weekend.
The back story -
me: I want to tweet @rojopelo I like your big hair flower (cuz I’m a perv)
Wesley: lol

it looks photoshopped
like its not real

we should cut n paste the flower onto all of our avatars
in fact im doing that when i get home, it’ll be awesome
According to @captaincrazy (through the without pants filter)
Nicole: Hey
Wesley: Oh hai whats happening
Nicole:Not much! I just stole a bunch of money from this homeless guy, but I have this great idea
Wesley: Wow poor homeless guy. Ok that was a horrible pun. Alright hoss lets hear it
Nicole: Let’s all make avatars like Sarah’s with the flower in our hair! It will be awesome!
Wesley: Ok sure, do you think that’s a good idea?
Nicole: Well yeah! And it’s my idea and no one elses idea! I came up with it all on my own.
Wesley: Effing awesome. You and your crazy ideas that only you had.
Nicole: Haha yeah. Oh and I have a confession. My real name is Stanley.
Wesley: WHAT?
Nicole: I know this may come as a shock to you, but it’s true.
Wesley: But… but you, no!
Nicole: I’m sorry you had to find out this way. Don’t tell anyone. Yes Wesley, I am a man.
Wesley: But, Nicole, you have boobs! And no adam’s apple! And a high pitched voice and like flowery things like sarah’s avatar
Nicole: Surgery, all of it. It’s been a long time coming. And please. Call me Stan.
Wesley: I feel weird. I have to go. I have to let the others know
Nicole: Do what you must, but be strong.
