I’m such an addict

by Terry 20 May 2008


Twitter has been down most of the day. I’ve gotten used to “listening” to it while I work or study and posting the occasional sentence about the day’s assignment, and now it’s all quiet. I feel as lost as I did during the week my web host went down and took my blog with it, and I’ve only been twittering less than a month.

Not that anyone talks to me on it, but they talk to each other. Now I’m in this office all by myself. That’s the hard part of working from home. I didn’t realize it until I lost a little of my isolation.

I’m lonely.

I need to do something about that.

    I miss Twitter when it’s down, too (and it seems to go down a lot). It’s funny how quickly we can become addicted to such things. I understand about the lonliness, though. I use to drive around and see so many people talking on cell phones, and I would wonder . . . just who are all these people talking to? (It always made me feel sad.)

    I’ve been hearing good things about Twitter, lately. I might have to check it out, if this keeps up. If they can get it back up and running!

    That’s exactly the way I feel, Billie. I talk to my kids on the phone, but that’s it. Since I’ve been on the med merry-go-round only 1 friend has ridden it out with me, and even she’s become distant this last year. With the exception of the grocery store, I sometimes go weeks without leaving my house. It’s never really bothered me until now. I’m not sure what to do about it, though.

    I really hope you sign up, A! It’s a great tool for low-pressure communication, and it would be fun to talk to you that way.
