I feel like beer.
hee hee 😉
I woke up this a.m. to a tweet telling me it’s my third twitter birthday.
I clicked the link and it brought me to a page with a birthday certificate.
Cool. I don’t remember getting this last year so I’m guessing that by @starbucks being my Godfather, it’s probably the first person that I followed or who followed me back. For a coffee achiever like myself, that seems appropriate. But if I were choosing my Godfather, it would be my friend @ScottMTownsend.

I had heard of twitter before December 24, 2008 but I didn’t really get it. That day, I was here alone. I’m not sure which Muslim country David was in that year but I had time on my hands and Scott was nice enough to help me to figure out how twitter worked.
A couple of email exchanges and a monster was born. LOL!
To say I love twitter is probably an understatement. When I think of all of the amazing people I have met and all of the cool opportunities that have come to me in the past three years, it just blows my mind that twitter could be the cause of it all.
I love my twitter friends. I mean, I really love them. Many of the people I met via twitter are now my dearest friends IRL (in real life).
Two of my earliest twitter friends were @patrickallmond and @jonfisher. They remain my twitter friends but they are also amazing real life friends.
Through them I met their incredible wives @allographics

and @a_fisher. And I am honorary grandma to the precious @cecilfisher who truly feels like family to me even though he doesn’t really know me. 🙂

I have friends all over the world. I love that. And my goal is to meet all of them when I come to their state or country.
People come and go on twitter and I miss the ones that go. But there are always new friends to make and new relationships to form.
So, happy twitter birthday to me. Thank you to all of my friends (followers) for making my twitter experience so awesome!
Now, let’s eat cake. 🙂
