gretchenrubin Seems like fun should be spontaneous, but I need to schedule fun even more scrupulously than work. Otherwise fun never happens.
QuipsAndTips Wouldn’t it be cool to go back to age 16 & teach yourself things you know now? Like: successful people fail more, so don’t fear failure!

Tweets that made me laugh
Roland_Hedley Tweeps using green avatars to support Free Iran. Color overlays the new rubber bracelets. Use light blue to support Magic.
ColleenLindsay Stupid 1950s built-in sink stoppers!
thebreadline: Hanging out in Chicago. Saw Blago soap 4 sale, wondering who would rub his likeness on their naked body. Yuck.
paulapoundstone I’m at a party for the “graduating” 5th graders. There’s no ping-pong, and I’m very competitive, so I’m wrestling many of the guests.
jakonrath Making “best of” lists is silly and stupid, and I’ve come up with the top twenty-five reasons why.
jakonrath I was going through my closet and found a “We Shall Never Forget” tee shirt, but I forgot why I bought it.
jakonrathIt’s easy to always focus on the negative. That’s why I do it, because it’s easy.

That’s all for this week. See you next Saturday!
Even though I tweet, I don’t see any of these, so I really appreciate your summary.
So funny.
The T-shirt one was my favorite.
I think next week I will try to remember a few to share with you.
Thanks!
Oh, Terre, share your tweet about how to tweet! (I was going to, but I thought I’d have to explain RT and I couldn’t quite muster that.)
Here’s a few for this week:
@badbanana:
Youth softball. Where the excitement of a 17-15 game is doubled when you realize both pitchers are tossing no-hitters.
I’d pay 99¢ for an iPhone app that displays a crucifix to ward off vampires. Under certain conditions, I’d pay far more.
@chumworth:
just explained to the kids how today is the first of the 12 Days of Father’s Day. they’re not buying what i’m selling.
@nprscottsimon:
When I finished this week’s essay on Holocaust Museum, realized I’d left out name of shooter. Then I thought: good. http://tr.im/onxC
