As many of you know, I have two separated micro-blog accounts. I used to have only one and I thought it was enough. Turns out to be wrong. Turns out that I DO need to separate my twitter accounts. I did it on purpose that most of my Twitter followers in my old account have no idea about my new Twitter account. There are reasons why I need to use two separate accounts.
One. I am a teacher. Most of my students follow me via my old twitter account. I got a lot of follower, around one thousand! Well, most of them are my students, and they follow me because sometimes I posted updates about what's going on at school because apparently the notification sometimes don't reach the students. We have problems with our audio, as always. Old school, old building, old electricity system.
Well, my mistake here is that I use this account for fangirling as well, where I connect and chat with my friends, where I don't pay attention to what I said, and many times, it just lead to wrong conclusions when I tweeted about what's going on in my fandom (JWalkerz FOR LYFE!!) , they thought it has something to do with the school. eeeeeekkkkkk, my mistake.
Two. I have trolls as colleagues. They love to troll my old twitter account, and then make fun of what I said, what I did, including my choice of fangirling. I used to think that, as long as I perform my work well, as long as I fulfill my duties well, they will leave me doing whatever I like doing, as long as it doesn't give bad influence to my school. WRONG. They love poking into my thoughts, making fun of what I tweeted, jeers at my choice, laugh at my activities. I mean, leave me alone. I am not living a boring life like you old folks do.
A friend told me, why dont you just lock your twitter? No. I hate it. I don't lock my account because I want my students to be able to retweet any important news related to school.I want them to spread the news fast, especially when it's important, and twitter is the fastest way because my students check their twitter like every 5 minutes or so.
Three. Language barriers. I have to show a good example of English for my students, a fun and joking tweets in Javanese, and not-so-serious-sometimes-sarcastic tweets for my in-real-life friends. It was not easy with one account. My fandom friends -who are using English like most of them are living abroad- are confused with my Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia tweets. My students, who use English, Bahasa, and Javanese, are also confused when I tweet funky English as a joke for my JWalkerz friends...and I cannot spill my pervy thoughts to those who is not of age might get shocked of what I tweet. (I am looking at you, my sexy Californian troll, my Australian ducky, and my Arabian coffee!!)
There, I said it. Those are my reasons. If I don't explain it well here.. yeah, I am not good with words although I am an English teacher :s
