That's the charm. What they all said.  And what you said in your original post: “I love interacting with these people, and I think every one of them is pretty remarkable”. That’s the charm.

I hadn't really factored in the neighbours, who of course are also friends (I guess this is a classic example of how long it takes me to feel completely comfortable!). I should probably take this opportunity to say how much I value <em>all</em> of my friends. Aw, thank you for commenting!

I am very new to all of this but feel I had to comment. I love knowing you. I am one of the neighbours who would love it if you popped in for a cuppa and a chat, no matter how busy we are. You'll have to take us as you find us but it's always a pleasure to see you mate. Hi Michael, loving the blog. I am very new to all of this but feel I had to comment. I love knowing you.

For me, Twitter lets me leave the labels I carry in the physical world.  Granted they are labels I don't bother to challenge. I am a mother. I take care of the children and followt hem on every path they desire, but mine has been left behind. I say hello and smile, and sometimes play the dumb blond in order to fit into the labels people are most comfortable with.  But on twitter I'm allowed to say and write the things that play on in my mind that don't really fit in my physical world. And because of this, on my short time here in twitter land I almost feel like the people I often look for , and write to, know a side of me that is so precious to me! and therefore I feel very close to them. Revealing  to them and myself that part of myself is well and truely alive! Thank you Karacornflake Thank you!  I have been trying to express these feelings to friends and family who do not twitter.
