Social Media Connections are so WEIRD

Translate Into:

So recently, I was hosted at Morton’s recently. It was amazing and wonderful, and I will be giving you a full review shortly on my local site, Haute Culture.

I tweeted it, and I blogged about it. My twitter feed had a very unexpected result.

I tweeted that I offered to marry the general manager of Morton’s. His name is Josh. His wife tweeted back to me that all I had to do was flirt. She has since told me she was terrified to send me that tweet because she didn’t know me. And yet, she did.

She and me started talking. Within about .. oh, 20 minutes (which is about 6 months in social media time) she and me had quickly established a wicked friendship,

We have SO much in common, I have NO idea how we have not managed to meet in real life yet. Seriously. She is amazing. She is totally my stunt double.

I just find it so .. odd that we connected on Twitter, and yet we have SO much in common…. it’s absolutely ridiculous. We’re meeting, face to face, for the first time on Saturday, and I CAN.NOT wait. And ideally, to eat the amazing little sandwiches. We’re going to Morton’s, natch.

She’s guest posting the next entry. She’s just amazing. Seriously.
