People who think their existence on twitter is important

Are you one of those people who says goodnight on twitter every night? or the person who finds the need to apologise for their twitter break when they haven't been on for a whole day?
If you are, it's probably best you don't continue reading this blog :)

I have a bit of an annoyance  for those people who think their presence on twitter is so important that every night they find need to say 'goodnight' to all their followers! Fair enough if your in the middle of a twitter conversation with someone then fair enough, tell them you're off to bed, but when u've been quite nearly all day and the rest of it spent basically having a chat with your self, is there really any need to announce to the whole of twitter that you are no longer available to chat?
I've seen some people tweet something, then 7hrs later come back on to say 'good night'! Who exactly are they aiming this at? The millions of people who logged on 7hrs ago to read ur tweet and are sat at home pinned to their computer in case you tweet again? I hate to break it to u, but if no one has replied to you in 7hrs, they probably don't care if u'r still on line or not *shrug*
I know that it is known for celeb's to do this, some I follow do (before people find the need to jump up and tel me lol) But normally a celeb will do this if they have been having some kind of chat with their fans. I'm sure no celebs (well none I follow) find the need to come on every night and tell u they are off to bed!

My other annoyance is people who aren't on twitter for a day, or sometimes an hour, then log on and feel they need to apologise for their 'Absence'??? If I'm totally honest, people probably didn't even notice you were gone, unless u r their fav celeb, they are probably just not that bothered. I work all day and between the hours of 7:30-10, 10-12:30, 1:30-3:30 and 3:30-6:30 I can't tweet and sometimes at the weekend I go the theatre. I can't tweet whilst I'm watching. and sometimes I don't even tweet in my work breaks!!! So for all this time I am away from twitter! I'm 100% sure that nobody worries about me, if I've fallen off the face of the earth, If I angry with them so I've stayed off twitter, If my phone's broken and I can't tweet or if I just gave up on the whole thing! They don't disworry because they don't care about me, they don't worry cos they know that, sometimes, people can't be on twitter at every part of the day!

Other people who find the need to apologise for their absences is people who run fan pages! Now most of the time, when u r away, it's because actually whoever it is u made the fan page for hasn't actually done anything and tweeting 'hey, sry I've not tweeted much. hope everyone still remembers this person exists! More news soon' is just a bit sad. Fan pages, in my opinion, r to update people on what that certain person is up to. Not to chuck their name in ur twitter name so they follow u and then not actually tweet anything about them!
I run a fan page, I don't update it much at the moment as the person I run it for isn't actually up to much at the mo, so I don't use it. I don't go on to let people know I'm still alive and so is the person the page is for. Yet no one ever messages to check either. Cos they just don't really care that much, the people who matter are My friends and know I'm alive anyway lol!

I'm not saying people don't care about u, of course people care, but if ur anything like me, u have 100's followers who don't actually know who u r, their for, technically, don't care, but in a nice way :)

So basically, yea stop doing it, cos basically, like me, most people just scroll straight past it, cos their not really bothered about ur daily routine and ur bed time :)
