The following actually occurred on Thursday, January 28, 2010...
Three minutes ago I had an epiphany. The entire epiphanous thought lasted about three minutes. (A long thought, I know) So what was this grand epiphany, you ask?
I'm tired. I'm tired of caring about what other people think. I'm tired of worrying about how what I do or say will be seen by others. So taking a page out of that happy little book I'm reading, I say F**k-It!
So what if I happen to be flirty with a guy on Twitter. So what if people think there's something going on there. He's quite lovely and I do like him. He makes me laugh, and that's rare. Few things make me laugh. Really laugh. I'm too bundled up in anxiety for that.
I can't control everything (although I'd really like to). I especially can't control what other people think. I suppose I could stop talking to the particular person with whom my conversations seem to elicit such responses from others. That would certainly stop people from thinking about it. But I really don't want to do that.
So, basically I am going to do whatever makes me happy. And if other people see it and read it and feel like teasing me about it, so be it. I'm a grown-up now, I do suppose it's time I started acting like one.
Did it take three minutes for you to read this???

Good for you! It's all that needs to be said, really.

Woo hoo!! Welcome to my side of the fence!! It is amazing what three minutes of clarity can do.
I agree with this post! Though, now worried that my mentioning it--only once--caused you some upset.
Haven't seen any of the other comments that may have irritated you, so don't know if they're rude or not.
But I think it's lovely that you have a friend on Twitter where you can share gentle flirtation and fun.
