What would your favorite anime char tweet about?

Challenge:

Write a short first-person fanfic using "scenes" of 140 characters or less - Twitter "tweets".

I've been planning further work on this, which is made of short entries as is... not sure I like the
ultrashort twitter format that much though.

Heh-heh... For my own project, I've wanted to have one portion that never really gets written, only alluded to - Zeke Darkwood and Rasczak's Roughnecks
on Klendathu. Making a ficlet based on a series of tweets would be interesting.

I've already planned on a Full Metal Panic step that takes place during Fumofuu. There, after the action of their first adventure, Zeke is pulling his
stint in the Starship Troopers universe, but is keeping in touch with Sousuke through letters - the story is told through those letters. The bulk of it is just
Zeke critiqueing Sousuke's methods and giving him the kind of advice that only someone who's lived on both sides of the fence can, but here and there
you see him refering to the action he's been seeing. Afterwards, Zeke gets loaned back to Mithril after the near disasterous mission that kicks off The
Second Raid.
