    How to Freak Out Susan Orlean

    Susan Orlean was insecure about her relationship with her editors; Perez Hilton was insecure about his bodily fluids and Ezra Klein was tired of listening to his own interview. The Twitterati were anxious.



    Susan Orlean is what you might call an extremely high-maintenance writer. Even by New Yorker standards.



    Another day on Twitter means another uncomfortable revelation, for Perez Hilton.



    Technologizer's Harry McCracken got sort of Zen about losing all his work. Except for the theism.



    Politico's Ari Melber is way, way too busy to watch himself on national television, so he lives it to his many fans on Twitter.



    The Washington Post's Ezra Klein got tired of hearing himself talk, to say nothing of the person he was interviewing.



    Did you witness the media elite tweet something indiscreet? Please email us your favorite tweets - or send us more Twitter usernames.
