Trying to Ping and why I hate passwords

I am trying to unify my twitter/facebook/other social media under a service called ping.fm and who has have a hissy bitch fit but twitter - first it won't accept the password I thought I had then it goes into this overly complex verification process including about the least legible captcha process- and I love this part instead of like every other one I have EVER USED- this one wants the words separated by a space- all the others you just put in the words and off you go, so I finally get that right and then it wants my cell phone number and then won't accept it and then just to add insult to injury it locks me out for at least an hour thereby killing my integration exercise.
How did this come about, you ask (which you didn't but I am pretending here) Frelling (not familiar with that word- go watch Farscape) Passwords. Frelling Passwords I repeat.
One day my life was fine, then everything went to hell, now I spend more time trying to remember all my usernames and passwords until I get that squint in my right eye and I want to strangle as many geeks and nerds I can find who are responsible for this mess.
Yes, I have too many passwords/password variations and usernames for all the sites that want them.
Twitter is just one of the many that drive me to distraction.

Now I am going to go kill something on my Xbox- hopefully a web security specialist nerd.
