Twitter Explosion!

Alright, I started a Twitter account a year ago just for me and my sister is on it and one of my best friends is on it. The rest are random people I've started "following" and it's been pretty cool. I also 'follow' celebs and random quotables and sports and funny things. It's 'private' so i need requests to be 'followed'.

Now, since my pending divorce I've added another Twitter account that is 'public'. I basically will tweet the same stuff on one and RT to my other. But not always. I say stuff on one that I don't on the other. I don't have over lapping 'followers' so its not too big a deal. I started my other account maybe a few months ago and had about 30 something followers until a week and a half ago. I like to cruise the trending topics to see what people are saying, or the 'nearby' and see what people around me are talking about. I like to chat and make comments. I can be sarcastic and witty, or I can be sympathetic and deep. It really is what ever random thing that pops into my head.

I have reached over 125 'followers' and have tweeted almost 2,000 tweets. Now I do intend to follow everyone following me and send a DM(direct message) to them to thank them for following me. I do send out a mass tweet to thank everyone at once which I guess would be sufficient but I like to add a personal touch to things.

Side note: every time I say or think 'followers', I think of an occult or something of that nature. These people are interested in what i may have to say and may like something I've commented on or posted from another source. Very neat!!

Anyways, even though this is all cyber-space 'relationships' and yes people represent themselves as they want others to see them, I am quite enjoying my time and 'meeting' new people from all over the place. From Hawaii to South Africa and to Europe. It's an amazing thing Twitter and how it can bring people from all walks of life together for some fun random conversations.

Well, my friends, that's it for now. I must stop fighting sleep and go snuggle with my pillows. I can only be the Best me for me, before I can be the Best me for you...
