Update: While Twitter had the potential to ruin my day, and did make me miffed for a few hours, it in fact made my week. Maybe even month. After reading Augusten Burrough's Twitter, I found out he was here in St. Louis. Even more exciting, he was at the library across from my house. I was irked that I had a class at the same time he was doing a lecture and book signing and moped about class. After class, I decided I was going to take my chances and head to the library. To my amazement, the doors were not locked and I was able to get in line. Since the line was nearly diminished and I was the last, I only waited a few minutes before I got to meet the somewhat flamboyant and hilarious author. This put a smile on my face. According to Augusten( we are now on a first name basis), I have Roman features he would kill for. He settled for a photo with me instead.
Even though it was Twitter that announced Augusten's arrival I still dislike it, on principle, and nothing will change my mind on that.
