ATimely world
My brother reminded me today that I have not updated my blog in some time. To justify my inaction would take a monumental amount of space, so instead I have chosen to take this opportunity to discourse a bit on a rather technical concept called "twitters pation".
If you remember correctly, the term "twitter pated" became part of the common vernacular with its appearance in the movie, Bambi. Observe:
"Nearly everybody gets twitter pated in the springtime. You get weak in the knees. Your head starts to whirl. Before you know it, you're knocked for a loop!"
In this context, "twitterpation" is clearly a natural phenomenon observed among members of the opposite sex during a period of romantic interest. This phenomenon is often characterized by strange, erratic behavior, feelings of euphoria, loss of appetite, extended nervousness, and extreme difficulty in directing the mind to think about things OTHER than the object of "twitterpation".
Urbandictionary.com offers a far more concise definition:
1) to be completely enamored with someone/something.
2) the flighty exciting felling you get when you think about/see the object of your affection.
3) romantically (ahem) excited (i.e.: aroused)
4) the ever increasing acceleration of heartbeat and body temperature as a result of being engulfed amidst the exhilaration and joy of being/having a romantic entity in someone's life.
Though this definition may sound formal and cold, the fact of the matter is that twitterpation involves nothing less than a revolutionary change in one's state of emotion, health, and mental activities. The topic usually receives a "bad rap" because its participants are normally so stricken that their vocabularies are instantly reduced to "cutie" words projected towards one another. This tends to embarrass the nonparticipating observer, mostly because he or she knows that they are guilty of the same and wishes desperately that THEY were in that situation, and not vice versa.
In summary, twitterpation is probably responsible for most of the positive things in the world, such as the invention of anything important, the major philosophic thinkers, the advancement of western civilization, and the founding of Taco Bell. None of this can be substantiated of course, but the circumstantial evidence is credible. The fact that most people secretly enjoy it is also reason to believe that it serves as a motivating factor in life. On the whole, I think it is most wonderful, and would highly recommend it to anyone within the sound of my voice.
