GossipGeek – she’s watching you.
HelloHi! I am GoGi (short for Gossip Geek incase you were lost). I’ve chosen to remain anon, because you geeks scare me quite frankly. Every week I will feature a “Twit of the week” which is a good thing, contrary to popular belief. So if you want to be famous, follow @GossipG33k, send me a DM explaining why I should allocate space to you. Make it juicy, mkay?
I’m going to have to improvise since I have a bag full of spammers and I can’t recall what everyone tweeted verbatim (I’m human that way), but this is more or less what has happened in the last week, in case you weren’t looking:
- #cricket -And lots of it! Many a male (and some females) watching it and commenting on it. Shall not name any names but you know who you are.
- SimoneBiz has a personal trainer. She has this obscure love/hate relationship with him, and ensures that we never forget it.
- EveD is in the market for a new car. A Merc by the looks of it. Good to know some can still go shopping, all things considered.
- Tertia was brought down by a bug. Which brought the burger she had for dinner on Friday back up. Nice one – good sharing.
- Dodo of the week is undoubtably SingleSyllable for waking into a fire extinguisher and falling on her arse. Nice going, sparky! Skulls on your nails won’t restore dignity there.
- feedmymedia is now a year older. So too @ TylerReed and @vincent_maher. Happy, happy and whatnot.
- SheBeeGee had choc mint aero cake on Friday and didn’t share. I shall only forgive her because she was working through the night to ensure the mag’s ready.
- saulkza bitched that the Jozi 27dinner had gotten unbearably overcrowded. “It’s quite annoying.” For that he wins Big Baby of the week.
- StevenMcD is trying to compromise for something. If you tweet stuff like “Having supper with my beautiful wife at lakeside mall in Benoni”, “Heading in to watch bride wars now at lakeside mall” and “Ran my wife a bath and filled it with two bunches of rose petals” it forces us to think you’re trying to score points with the Twitter gods.
- vincenthofmann is the poster child for modesty: “I just got a call from jesus and he congratulated me on starting moral fibre. He says I get 10 manna-points and a wooden staff! Hell yes” May I use this opportunity to smack you with said staff, Vincent?
- SheBeeGee (making the news a second time with this shocker): “Apparently “its me, not him” now. And his mother doesn’t approve of me. And I am WITH CHILD, PEOPLE!” – Practicing for April Fool’s, I see. Oh and the “him” in this case is “@justinmccall Smallwinky”
- Springleap is going places and meeting people: “Paul Simon,YDE founder is teaming up with Springleap.com to once again revolutionise the fashion industry in South Africa!” And if you are a clever little Twit who is following @springleaping – you know to keep a look out for their discount tweets.
- donpackett “Just completed Week 4 Day 2 of the Hundred Pushups Challenge: http://hundredpushups.com/. Ouch” Boys are such show-offs. Not sure who they’re trying to impress, us or themselves?
- melodymaker joined the darkside: “Have just started following @darthvader – is this the beginning of the end?! The dark clutches of geekdom has me in its grip!”
· ExMi got her own little award (note, not reward). The Kid covered itself in glue and gold dust. I won’t advise you keep it on the mantle though.
- iteachcoffee came third at the South African National Barista Championships. Good going!
- And finally, in case you missed it, @ cow_grrrl “Had the craziest dream about all of you crashing my house and throwing a massive party! Booze, barmen, lights, a DJ, the works. Bizarre.” To which andrevr responded: “Thas not a dream. You’re just psychic…lol!” Pretty soon after that most of the twits jumped on the bandwagon and added themselves to the guest list. Apparently there’ll be people on stilts and drumsets too. So I am patiently awaiting my invite. Or at least directions in order to gatecrash.
- That brings me to this week’s Twit Of The Week: @NerdMag – for geeks. In my (unbiased, she doesn’t pay me even) opinion it’s the coolest thing on Twitter – better than hashtags! So if you’re not following @NerdMag, what’s your problem??
If you weren’t featured this week, it’s simply because you are just too… well, normal. Yes, that is the same as boring.

Now this is the type of gossip I’d RSS to
fucking awesome.
Saul and the Big Baby award. fucking canned myself.
too bad i didn’t take pics of the kid covered in gold dust. it was spectacular.
I’m killing myself laughing at all the comments coming through to my inbox. You guys scared to comment here?
Also, for the record, no – I AM NOT GOSSIP GEEK. Although I so could’ve been if the position snapped up
Hehe that’s brilliant!
Not to tempt fate or anything, but…
I’ll consider myself let off lightly, given the dumb shit I got up to, and said out loud, this week past.
Winner, ladies, in the best traditions of ValleyWag.
*applause*
OH PMSL!!! That big baby award is hysterical!!
This is VERY cool!
for your info, my wifey loves it when I tweet that stuff
whenever we go out I get asked if I’m gonna tweet it. When I say no I get asked why not 
Trying to get her to join twitter so she can tweet it herself =)
I now no longer need to keep twitter open. Can you publish this daily? Send off my quotes cause I can…?
I love my trainer to death but I can’t help it if @leonjacobs has a dirty mind.
And it was also my birthday recently: for the record, I’m a full six days older than Vincent Maher.
Oh, and I’m following @DMShaftoe – way more geeky than following @darthvader!
Great stufff, guys
laughing myslef to death…
makes me wonder at times what rubbish we all tweet
lol
hmph! my new tattoo didn’t make the news??!! nor my leaving my heart behind when travelling back to Europe?? *sulks*
And in other news: loving the NerdMag. totally digging the Gossip Girl!!
StevenMcD – it might reflect better on you if she tweeted stuff like that herself.
SimoneBiz – feeling gossip jealousy much?
Where are the other people? Did I hurt your little feelings?
my kid wouldn’t sit still when i put him on the mantelpiece. bugger.
and yeah. my neighbours totally did not see my bum this morning. don’t believe everything you read on twitter
Stevie for the record I had to fight myself *very* hard to not remove the statement completely, but being the Ed means I have to be all unbiased and stuff, apparently. You know I love your tweets, right?
hehehe.
@GoGi, nah, it’s just my loquacious Attila the Sub tendencies springing to the fore
[...] The link backs are coming in fast and furiously, the BlackBerry competition entries have taken off rather nicely, ExMi has you guys in an uproar & of course, all of you on twitter are being gossiped about. [...]
Wow Google contacted me and said I had to come look at some site called nerdmag. Only to find that on my watch, as the supreme-ruler of all things digital, I have been “insulted”.
Jesus is not amused, and I’m not amused that Jesus is not amused.
Mind you I’ll be back gossip-person, you know I’ll have my revenge.
Did you know, a “revenge” is best served with ice and lemon? It’s a fact, write it down.
[...] its not that I have the latest gossip (like some of us) nor is it that I read all the papers and am up to date on the latest celeb news. Noooooo, none of [...]
.. interesting.
Here is my armpit, attached and all.
“News is always best when spicy, sexy and hot..
but if the news is wrong and is ultimately harmful..
.. I fear GossipGeek may be taken out and shot.”
eheheheheheheh
:`(
and i remain tweetless…
Right, all the more reason to keep my personal life off Twitter
@SwissTwist email gossipg33k@nerdmag.co.za a pic and I’m sure it will land up on the site
