So yesterday was my birthday…29 years old…yikes. Last night I had an awesome time at the Shinedown/Puddle of Mudd/Skillet concert. During the day I spent most of my time continuing work on my new site, The Geek Generation. Aside from writing the kinds of great, unique articles we have, a lot of that time is spent checking RSS and Twitter feeds from major news sites and filtering what makes it through to my page. I also follow a decent amount of celebrities on Twitter and on occasion have gotten some correspondence back from them. I figured that because this was my first birthday since creating a Twitter account, I’d shamelessly ask for birthday wishes from some of the celebrities I follow and see if they were actually willing to wish someone a happy birthday despite the onslaught of messages and requests they most likely receive. I’m happy to say that out of the 5 celebs I messaged, I actually got 3 responses back!! That’s a pretty decent percentage, so right here I’m going to personally thank those three and provide the evidence that it actually happened.

Evidence: Unfortunately I can’t provide the evidence since it was in a direct message instead of a general tweet, but this is the 2nd response I’ve gotten from Maria in the last month, so instead I’ll link to her first non-birthday-related response to me: http://twitter.com/mariamenounos/status/7537270489
