Live Tweeting – America’s Next Top Model
I decided to live tweet during one of my favorite shows of the week, ANTM. I used three different hashtags, #ANTM #ANTMCycle22 and #jour117, on every tweet throughout the show. I also used different ones for different contestants that I would tweet about as well. Live tweeting during a television show is definitely hard work. It takes serious focus to be able to pay attention to what is on the screen and be able to tweet at the same time. I think if I continued to live tweet during some of the other shows I watch, I could definitely get better at it.
Oversharing
I decided to share almost every major event of my day with my mom. It was definitely a weird thing for her and I because I live with her, so over half of the time that I was texting her what I was doing, she was either sitting next to me or in a different room in the house. When I first started texting her, she was definitely confused with why I was sending her every detail of my day. As the day progressed, I decided to send her texts of stuff we were talking about in my classes. My favorite text from the day was when I told her what Torrie Jackson taught us about Amazon being based on a series of algorithms. My mom apparently thought I was drunk. Thanks mom. The experiment was definitely an interesting one. Because I live with my mom, it made the oversharing conversation much more awkward since she was in the same house as me. It was hard at the beginning of the experiment because I am not used to texting my mom. I think this experiment taught me that I already share pretty much every detail with my mother. I just don’t text it to her throughout the day, I have a conversation with her when I’m home. Our relationship is much more than texts on a screen. It’s nice to be able to say that I have much more than a cyber relationship with my mom.

I would’ve get the same thing with my own mom. She and do everything together and she normally already knows just about everything that’s going on in my day. I enjoyed your Next Top Model tweets especially because I never watch and it was fun to finally read all about it!

This is so cute! That is such a good relationship to have not many people have that type of relationship with a parent or guardian. I really enjoyed your America’s Next Top Model tweets since I used to watch the show many years ago, so it was nice to see how it’s changed.

Haha my step mom would have gone crazy if I had done that and thought there was something wrong with me.. Which I’m sure there is… I haven’t been tested yet.

Rebekah, I think over sharing with your Mom was great. At some point (If my daughter had done this to me) I would have walked up to her and felt her forehead, to check her temperature. LOL. But Mothers are great and completely understanding, don’t you agree?

I don’t really follow America’s Next Top Model, but I also chose to overshare with my mom. She and I aren’t really as close as you two seem to be, so the different reactions were interesting. Your mom just kind of replied normally even though she might have found it slightly odd, whereas mine almost immediately knew I was doing something weird.
