From Twitter 05.21.2012

So today I finally get my vacation started! I'm splicing together my tweets plus my mentions manually and rather enjoying reading my old tweets. The source for my tweets lists them from newest to oldest which is not a comfortable reading style, so I'm using a freeware utility that reverses the lines--that's why the date is before the tweet instead of after. No linkifying or formatting is being done, perhaps some day I'll be ambitious enough to do that manually. I've quit smoking cigarettes in favor of vaping my e-cigarette, but in 2012 I was still concerned with smoke breaks while on the bus.
