For groupies for whom semi-regular MySpace blogspot postings offer not nearly a wide enough window inside the constantly churning, impossibly creative mind of Diablo Cody, exciting news indeed: the Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter and former Lady of the Pole™ has started a Twitter account! In just a little over a month, her follower fanbase has ballooned to 68 and counting, inspiring the most recent update, "Now that all these folks are following me, I'm tempted to be super obscene."
Other ruminations from the Desk of Diablo: "Fred 62 is so good," (now that we think about it, that's the first time we've ever heard anyone actually say that) "Universal is gonna break my kneecaps if I don't deliver soon," "WAHHHH," and "I want champagne, a cigarette, and someone looking directly into my eyes." If these all sound to you like T-shirt-worthy slogans, it's more than just coincidence: Look for them bedazzled upon her upcoming, all-leopard-print Diablowear label—a clothing line for "those who aspire to the stripping-screenwriter lifestyle."

This makes me think of committing seppuku!
Okay, I think I get this Twitter thing (um, maybe). It's like a blog, but the entire content is like a series of Facebook status updates. Right? WHY DOES THIS EXIST?
I can totally see her loving Fred 62, with their annoyingly puntastic tshirts.
@RocketRockit: I'm gonna go with narcissism.
@RocketRockit: Good question, though.
Diablo's blog is hilarious so I'm happy to Twitter along with her! She's damn cool.
Of course she loves Fred62 -- it's the Brite Spot of 1999!
I think my favorite thing about Fred 62 is the overwhelming scent of bleach if they seat you anywhere near the bathrooms. It's so pleasant.
Gah! Things I don't need to know #1:
What ever the FUCK Diablo Cody is fuckin' doing.
"Mama"? Oh noes she dints....
@Little Mintz Sunshine: It just makes me think of Jerri Blank in "Raisin in the Sun"...
"Twitter" doesn't she mean "Twit"?
The Pussy Ranch was a hell of a lot more fun than this.
Two consecutive updates from this afternoon have me convinced that this cannot be the real Diablo, but a brilliant parody:
"My Oscar looks so shiny today! YAY! RING POP!"
and
"These pants are cool. I look like a fucking train conductor. Let it be said: I RULE."
Unless the real Diablo wants us to think she's a fake Diablo...
@bluelanugo:
But their shirts are so gay! Just like gay homosexuals!
@RocketRockit: I think it's for drama queens and attention whores.
Also Attention Queens and Drama Whores.
I'm trying to think of whose Twitter account might possibly be interesting.
Oscar Wilde?
Winston Churchill?
Dorothy Parker?
DaVinci?
Isaac Newton?
Jesus?
Anyway, not very many, and no Diablow.
Fred62 is not good.
