Okay, so I was just looking at a Twitter page a friend of mine follows, when I looked over at the side bar.
The part where it says "You follow and account that follows Herkaderkaschmurf" has always confused me a little, mostly because I don't always remember that it shows people that I follow that follow that particular account I am looking at at the time. Sometimes I get it backwards and think "Oh, these are people that we both follow, me and the account I'm viewing".
So anyway, I was looking at the bio stuff, just the little 140-character blurb, when I saw "INTJ". I recognize that, I've looked at a little Jung typology. So I take a closer look at the picture, think "Well she's pretty cute--" And then I remembered how the sidebar works and I look at her followers. 20-something thousand followers, some of the big-name people I follow are following this chick, and it honestly intimidated me for a second.
And that's where I had to pause myself.
It intimidated me? What? That's not right. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the least intimidating people in the world and am incredibly timid to boot, so it's not like a puppy backing down Chuck Norris or anything equally ridiculous. But it's a statistic. How is that scary?
(Shut up, liberal art majors)
And it made me think, if only for a second, on the entire "celebrity" ideal. And if this sounds like it wasn't fully thought out, it wasn't. I wanted to get this up as quickly as possible to keep it as close to my train of thought as possible, so it's not entirely formulated.
