I want to be Paula!.....no, really I want to be @paula!

Little quickie for my Blondernaut blog. Arrrrgghhh, I know, I know, I said I would write more. Old habits are hard to break, what can I say? I had a fire lit under my 39yr old rear (which still looks 29 might I add) back in May. Really, the arrival of my baby Sera flicked on the perverbial light switch and I was left saying....You know what self? I have to DO more.


As part of that, I have been trying to be a motivated writer. But guys (er....twittergirls) I have never done this stuff before, so that is why my posts are so few and far between!


Anyway, I digress.


Synopsis of recent interactions with twitter.


"hello, twitter, it's me. could i bother you to get the @paula handle, i see no one is using it, and I'd REALLY like to have it."


silence


"hello, twitter, it's me again. um, i know you're busy, but could I get the unused @paula handle. it's just sitting there, and I'd like to be @paula, it sounds cool."


silence


"um, hello, twitter, it's me again again. i don't see why I can't have the @paula handle. No one is using it."


silence


"ok, twitter. I know you are holding the @paula handle for a time when some famous 'Paula' calls, like Paula Abdul, or Paula Deen, or Paulie wants a cracker, but I think it is pretty crappy that I haven't gotten the handle. Fair is fair and I have called dibbs! As you well know, Dibbs is a legal term and you cannot reneg on that!"


Ok, I really didn't write the third message, but the first 3 are pretty accuate. As of this date, the horrible little blue bird still hovers over my treasured @paula account on twitter. Now, I've been accused of being a lot of things....Blond, former pro cheerleader, twice divorced...believe me, I've heard a LOT. I have never been accused of being paranoid. I think I am dead on with the whole "twitter is waiting for Paula Abdul to take the handle" thing. Operationally, is there any reason not to release a handle? No. Even if you answer me and say "Well Paula, they are doing it because of [insert reason here]...I will throw one of my classic tantrums and shake my head wildly saying "NO no no no no" much like my stepkids have done at Toys R Us.


TQs Unite! Any help, bullying, winks, nods etc. you can give me to help me in my quest would be a god send. What do I have to do? Really? Twitter is a great forum, but rather disconnected on the Customer Service side. "You're issue has been resolved" Really? Did I get an email about that? Oh, no I didn't. PLUS, I don't know who input that RESOLVED status, little unseen twitter critter from customer service, but the only way I consider it RESOLVED is when I have the handle....resolution I think not!


Ok, Blondernaut to Mission Control....I am on final approach....Yes Control, I am done with my rant and am now calculating vectors for landing. What's that Control? Yes, you just heard my hairspray can in the transmission background. There will be cameras on the runway when I land this thing, and I have to look my best.
