After getting used to my Twitter account, it didn't seem so bad anymore—Twitter was just a way to communicate ideas and post links to interesting articles and videos. Twitter was a way to be in touch with anyone on the planet you wouldn't normally be in touch with—on any given day, I can probably tell you what avid Twitter users Lily Allen and Shaquille O'Neal are doing.

And if you've been a Twitter user for quite some time, or become a user soon, log on and follow Jayplay's very own Twitter account, jayplaymagazine. Who knows—the username may come in handy when you "tweet" about our story later.

"ASME is seriously trying to torture me with the 'standby' list business." "ASME put me on the standby list! Woohoo I'm not completely rejected yet!" "Finally heard from ASME, only to find out I'm on the standby list—meaning more waiting. Not fun."
