323: OMFG unicorns!

Got a little piece of mail the other day:

hmmmm... what's this? Who's it from?

U.Nicorn? Unicorn? Hmm....,

If you are on twitter, you know how if you mention something about, say, weight loss- you will immediately get spammy followers that have some kind of weight loss miracle pill or something. Turns out if you say 'zombies', zombies will follow you, too. I don't know what they are selling, maybe a perfume called Undead to mask the horrifying, you know, living dead smell?

After zombies started following me on twitter, I thought: hmm.... I wonder if I say 'unicorns', will unicorns follow me? So for the past, oh, I don't know, 6 weeks or so, I have been mentioning unicorns  a few times a week in hopes that a magical beast would start following me on twitter. 

Nope, no luck. Unicorns haven't started following me on twitter yet.

But I did get this mysterious letter in the mail (strangely, U. Nicorn used  my friend Ryan's address):

OMFG! UNICORNS!!!

Yes!

So, they don't follow me on twitter, but they follow me in real life. Which, you'd have to agree,  is even better.

I keep the note pinned to the lamp on my work table in the studio, which makes my chuckle every time I see it:

Hope you have a magical day.

Peace, love and unicorns to you. Forever.

xo, m

OMFG indeed. Indeed.

This brought a big smile to my face - and yes, I'm still surprised by the crazy twitter followers. I don't even tweet some of the topics, and yet, I get the targeted followers...oy!

I had that paper when I was 12. It was part of my unicorn collection. I SO wish I had that collection now. I'd display it in our dining room just to screw with my husband. He already thinks I'm crazy :)

That's adorable! And I'm glad to know there are unicorns in Cape Cod!

>>U. Nicorn used my friend Ryan's address<<

another coincidence - I swear that the unicorn design on the paper matches the full back tattoo on the Schenk Tank

Great post today! It gave me a good chuckle and then it filled me with jealousy. No, not because you received a letter from one U. Nicorn, it was your shelves near the lamp. They are jam packed with what looks to be amazing fabric. I pictured myself "motor boating" each shelf.

Refer to 1st definition (if not sure about motor boating).

Oh that made me laugh. You know...there is some pretty cool unicorn fabric at:http://www.fabricworm.com/herofarfaraw6.html

It's designed by Heather Ross.

OMGF that is hilarious! Gotta love some twitter, tee hee. And if you do get any unicorns following you, please do share, I could use a U.Nicorn too ;-)
