I am a big twitterhead . I communicate through Twitter for many reasons; to meet new people, network, learn what's happening in the world and the wide web, even voyeur. Twitter is my sin, it gives me something I don't get elsewhere. I see how the topics of twits change daily. Since I follow both Russian and American, even a few European twitterers I get to see the views from different ends of the world. People discuss a large variety of topics, anything from the obvious hot gadget like iPhone to peejays and get this, sexy stockings with strings. Yes! That topic dominated the twitter board on my screen all day yesterday. People flirted and got silly from across the world.
On the other side of the spectrum I noticed a not so happy subject that took dominance across the board on Twitter lately. Loneliness
"от одиночества умирают?" (translated: Can you die from loneliness?). Someone asked that today and it made me think...I don't know? Can you? There are men and women out there who are alone right now, some of them are all by themselves and others have someone who should be close to them but really they are the furthest away. There are those who are looking for love, and those who are just thinking about it, putting their thoughts down in a blog post. We are just lonely soles lost in the virtual world, and we find some comfort in it. I know I do.

I do find much comfort in my twitter friends.
Twitter is the first place I turn when I get upset during the day. As weird as that sounds... it is very natural because I am right there, at the computer with my friends.
Yay for the innernets!
I am on twitter too and I love how I can communicate with so many people in an instant. It is as though I have instant family. Today, I was depressed over my friend losing his position at his job. But, he saw that we are all there for him. I can relate to the loneliness on so many levels too. I am single and will probably be single till I die but it is just a part of our world now in the 21st century. Where is the loyalty?? I have to add u to my twitter line!!
Blogging, whether in 140 characters or a few paragraphs, is the way I vent. Sometimes the tapping of keys brings a certain rhythm into my life. It gives me an opportunity to share a piece of the real me and when someone reads my words and they feel that what I said makes sense, I feel not so lonely anymore.
Being an adult in this millennium is a bitch but I do believe that we are in charge of our destiny and we just have to play the cards we are dealt.
