My New Best Friend...

Hello all... I'd like for you to meet my new best friend, Twitter. Twitter and I had a rocky relationship at first. We'd meet up once in a while, chat briefly, then would spend hours, days, and at one point months before we'd reunite. Well, a few months ago our intermittent relationship took an unexpected turn. All of a sudden, out of the blue, we started spending more and more time together and recently we've been communicating everyday. Twitter has introduced me to over 150 of his closest friends with whom I'm developing some pretty cool relationships. I have been exposed to blogs and websites that have given me great knowledge, provided me with an abundance of laughter and which have brought me to tears. My Twitter friends have also exposed me to music, poetry, and visual arts that I never thought I'd be interested in. Twitter provides me with the adult conversation that I lack during the days I spend with my 5 and 2 year olds. There's just so much Yo Gabba, Gabba and Charlie and Lola I can take. Playing horses and kittens is fun for the first, oh, ZERO minutes and then it gets down right booooring! Twitter allows me a break from mind numbing tea parties whenever I need one as my Tweeps are there for me 24/7 since they live all over the world! My only problem with Twitter is the physical distance between me and my Tweeps. I would love to attend one of @epodcaster 's podcamps, help @baristaonduty come up with coffee blends, commit voter fraud with @hollyk, or cheer on @DMular during one of her races. I would love to just be able to share a cup of coffee and a chat with any one of my followers/followees! But, those experiences will just have to reside in my imagination until someone invents the teleporter. Until then I will lounge on my TweetDeck and enjoy the view!
