I wasted all day scratching glass; I checked Facebook, then Snapchat, then went on Pinterest and just scrolled for hours. I think I have a problem.
Joe Hildebrand is such a glass-scratcher. He spends so much time on Twitter but only has a few followers, and then he comes on Channel 10 and can't hold a proper conversation. Why does he bother trying to be a celebrity when he can't engage in social interaction outside of Twitter?
