I am totally serious about this.

[apocalypsos]

I'm not a huge fan of Twitter. I think it's because reading other people's Twitter updates on LJ turned me off it hardcore. I've yet to see one that didn't look more like one side of a telephone conversation I'd rather leave two people to have alone rather than join in on.

Aaaaaaaand then there's Misha Collins.

@mishacollins We had an earthquake this morning. Fortunately, i live in a windowless underground bunker, so i am fine.

@mishacollins However, my periscope isn't working so i can't tell whether the rest of los angeles is still standing or not.

about 11 hours ago from web

@mishacollins I'm glad you all think it's so funny. I'm 120' underground with nothing but my laptop and stacks of gold bullion waiting out aftershocks.

@mishacollins Right, yes. I'm down here with my computer and my gold and my pony. And i'm tweeting and cleaning my guns.

@mishacollins The laptop is powered by the pony on a treadmill. I planned it all out very carefully.

@mishacollins Minions, the pony gave out. I consumed the haunches while still warm. very little power left on my laptop. Very little oxygen. I'm so weak.

@mishacollins I'm back out. i was turning the doorknob the wrong way. Now i see... i left the lens cap on the periscope. Man, i'm covered in pony blood.

If that fucker draws me into Twitter by being continuously awesome like this, I'm going to have to throw pies at him.

EDIT: Someone needs to make an icon of Castiel covered in blood that says, "Man, I'm covered in pony blood." And then I need to use that icon repeatedly.

He's our sort of people!

*falls over laughing*

Okay, Collins is my new favorite person.....

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

He is made of AWESOME. I am going to beat the fuck out of Twitter if they don't start talking to my phone again, because I need my random Misha updates.

(Also, apparently the trend today is Vulcan "your mom" jokes.)

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. ♥_♥

How is that man so awesome?

[dangerusliasons.livejournal.com]

Of course we all knew Misha Collins is made of win!

[pandorablu.livejournal.com]

MISHA! Oh and ITA about the Twitter thing. The concept of it seems just... illogical to me. Maybe it IS that telephone thing.

EDIT: Someone needs to make an icon of Castiel covered in blood that says, "Man, I'm covered in pony blood." And then I need to use that icon repeatedly.

... I might have to steal that icon. :)

[lunaserenade.livejournal.com]

Found my way here because of kradical, just wanted to say, would this picture work as a base picture for that icon you want? http://ssuzuki.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/spn416_542.jpg

Because if that works, I'll totally make it. lol.

[jjloa.livejournal.com]

see, I love twitter. My friends and I call it blogging for the ADHD set. I never have time to sit down and do a nice long livejournal post anymore. I do have time to throw little comments off during the day.

So thank you very much, cause I have to friend that man for being that genius (not that he's not genius as Castiel, but ... yeah.)

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

I love twitter. My friends and I call it blogging for the ADHD set. I never have time to sit down and do a nice long livejournal post anymore. I do have time to throw little comments off during the day.

That's why I love Twitter, too. And it works as a kind of IM, too.

[jjloa.livejournal.com]

I admit I try to keep the IM stuff to a minimum, because that's the 'why am I seeing one side of a phone conversation?' argument I hear so much about ... but when someone isn't online and you want to float them a link or send them something or tell them something RIGHT now - it is definitely awesome for that too.

Short attention span blogging works for me :)

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

I use it as IM sometimes because I can't access any kind of IM at work and many times I need to be in touch with my kind :)

I, however, don't crosspost my tweets to LJ because I think it's annoying and doesn't really fit.

Short attention span and busy blogging works perfectly for me.

[shei.livejournal.com]

OMG!

[auguris]

HAHA WHAT. I suddenly love this man.

On the twitter hate -- that's why mine are behind a cut. I hate when people don't do that. Some people's twitter feeds are loooooooong.

[apetslife.livejournal.com]

I HATE Twitter. Fortunately, I can rely on my friendslist to provide me with humorous Misha Collins updates as they occur. *GRIN*

[writingpathways.livejournal.com]

LMAO. Ah if only I twittered

[bcgphoenix]

YES. I added him a few days ago and spent all of yesterday cracking up whenever I checked my Twitter page.

(And I want that icon, too.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

I ignored those ravings on flist for days now, but you really showed why he's so appealing. Still not getting Twitter. Hee, funny guy.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

Dude, he is totally the reason I even got a twitter in the first place. I hate those fucking tweets on my flist too, and since I have IE, there's no greasemonkey script to help take them out.

BUT. Misha Collins being a crackhead on text messages to my cell at random times = best reason to get a twitter, no joke. :D

[minim_calibre]

Man, he almost makes actually looking at my twitter feed tempting. (I mean, I only have it because I hate CNN with a white hot passion, and wanted them defeated in the race to a million followers.)

I am convinced that he sprang like Athena fully formed from our collective brains.

[trinity_clare]

Okay, I've been out of the fandom loop recently - how do we know this is actually Misha? Because if it is I'm friending him IMMEDIATELY.

[dodger-winslow.livejournal.com]

Misha is kinda making me love him right now. Until this, I'd not seen a single thing on Twitter that didn't irk the shit out of me. But this? Is made of win. Where are you getting his updates ... and please tell me I wouldn't have to join twitter to get them, too.

[schtroumph-c.livejournal.com]

You can also read them here:

[dodger-winslow.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. This whole things is made of win. He addresses his audience as "minions"! He had a pony! He ate the pony! He left the lens cap on his periscope!

Motherfucker, it hurts to laugh this much.

[coolgrin.livejournal.com]

He's hilarious. His tweet on misspelling cracks me up. Join the tweet.

[ymmy12.livejournal.com]

okay
i have not gone twitter on purpose but i may go on for misha--he is too darn funny!

[denorios.livejournal.com]

I love his tweets. He's so weird, I just adore him.

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. LOL I love this guy.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

MISHA MISHA MISHA. Crying with laughter!!!! "Now i see... i left the lens cap on the periscope." How is he so amazing?!?? Hahahahaha.

[orphan-project.livejournal.com]

Don't these tweets just make you smile? I have them sent to my phone, they make my day. XD OH! Also....since I'm on a drive by comment, I will leave you with this parting gift that's been re-tweeted all over the place:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d31/xmaszauzage/mishmish/bunkerdecollins.jpg

:D ENJOY!

[jya-bd-cp-ttgb.livejournal.com]

Deeply, deeply disturbed....but in a good way. *pets the MishMish*

[fyrdrakken]

I realized a week or two back that my biggest issue with Twitter is that the direct replies still go out to one's entire list rather than just to the person they're supposedly directed to. If all those replies were shaved off and the only Twitters I saw were the general announcements (or anything specifically aimed at me) I'd be a lot less annoyed.

ETA: Oh, and I started following his feed. Have you seen the formerlyCwalkenfeed, which until a recent name change was actually named Christopher Walken's feed? It's a fake, but so wonderful to mentally imagine in Walken's voice...

[frogmajick.livejournal.com]

You can set it to do that, I think. I don't know how, but a few people I follow have done it.

[fyrdrakken]

Well, I went and looked around on their not!FAQ and my settings and what-not, and I couldn't seem to find it.

Hang on, I just took another look, and what I found is that if you're on your Twitter homepage they automatically remove all replies that are to people you aren't also following with your Twitter account. It's just if you're getting the tweets texted to your mobile device that it doesn't filter like that. And, heh, I was having tweets texted to me specifically because I couldn't be arsed to bother to visit the Twitter page unless I was being pointed to a new person's feed or monkeying with my own settings...

[anonymous_sibyl]

I don't care if it's really him or not, it's hysterical. He ate the pony!

[azinazelle.livejournal.com]

Misha is the funniest angel in the garrison.

[morganslady.livejournal.com]

How does one twitter? I would love to hear misha live.. Are we sure it's really him?

[weesta.livejournal.com]

I knew when I met him in Cherry Hill that Misha fit right in! He's awesome!

[laivine.livejournal.com]

If you do end up twittering - i'm calentura.

:)

[weesta.livejournal.com]

I shall write that down!

[zannes.livejournal.com]

Misha Collins forced me to join twitter yesterday with the lure of his pony-powered laptop. The man is a twitter genius.

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

I loaded up the RSS of his Twitter yesterday because I figured if I was going to keep popping over to his page every day, I might as well load it into my LJ list :)

[may7fic.livejournal.com]

Priceless! Though I aim to remain twitter-free as long as I can ;)

[awmalory.livejournal.com]

I don't Tweet either, but I signed up just to follow people. He's one of the ones I follow. So hysterical!

[darthnikki.livejournal.com]

I think I need a dose of whatever he's on xx lol

[snakewhissperer.livejournal.com]

*snickers* first amusing twitter post ever.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Okay, I might have to actually *get* a twitter if this is what is waiting for me...

It's just a little too... shouting on a bullhorn at people in the street for me... ha!

[kirei-seimei.livejournal.com]

Misha Collins made me join Twitter. I look forward to a long life of utter lunacy from here on in... =D

[ktmobile.livejournal.com]

That guy is hilarious. But I have to agree with you. I detest the Twitter feeds on LJ.
