The Twitter Diaries

James: I've got to tell @MyJillyBean I love her.  Pause.  But what if she doesn't feel the same?  Nervous pause.  I just need to do it...  Deep breath.

James paces around and eventually walks to the front door of Jillian's house.
James takes a deep breath and then knocks slowly on the door.
She answers.

Jillian: Hi @LLCoolJames.  What are you doing here?
James: @MyJillyBean, I have to tell you, I—  James Freezes in place.
Jillian: Ran out of characters...again.  Clearly annoyed.  James, you have to use your characters wisely.  You only have 140...  Come back later and don't run out of characters!

Later that day.

James: 2nd time's the charm, right?  I hope so.

He pauses then knocks.  Jillian answers once again.

Jillian: Hi @LLCoolJames.
James: Hi @MyJillyBean.  I have to tell you, (Pause) I love you.  I didn't want to run out of characters this time, so I was upfront with it.
Jillian: I'm glad you told me.  I love you too.

They hug.  Loud offstage aww.
