Twitter Tweekly Twednesday Twrap-up

Hey there,

So...yeah, that subject was a force. It sounded better in my head. That's it...just don't try to sat it out loud.

Anyway, this past week was so great on Twitter (and I really don't know what I even think that, because I don't even think I've had a "bad" week on Twitter), but I just wanted to share some of my highlights, ten to be exact.

Who knows, maybe this'll become a regular thing. I suppose part of why I'm doing this, is just to give myself a chance to reflect, but also to provide an example to some of my friends who still "don't get" Twitter, about how it's different from Facebook. More conversational, and more about connecting to people and organizations or companies you're not necessarily friends or family with.

So to kick it off, the first highlight was YMCA DC responding to my reply to their tweet asking the Twittersphere if we'd drank enough H2O, among other things.

@awayoflife0 that is a total game changer...we keep our attached with us all day too. Way to Hydrate into the new year!

And as the convo went on, I got retweeted by DC Tap.

@marine4sure I prefer tap water, thanks in large part to @dcwater :-) dcwater.com/drinking_water…

I had a tweet favorited by Peter Marks!!

Ah...looking for parking in DC. At times it can restore my faith in god, at others make me wonder why s/he/they has/have forsaken me...

And I had an old school RT from the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

RT @awayoflife0: "Pass the Buck", 1 of 4 pieces in @womeninthearts' NY Ave Sculpture Project #dcarts #dcpublicart twitter.com/AWayofLife0/st…

US Airways replied to a tweet I tagged them in, about my upcoming trip to Mexico:

@awayoflife0 I hope you have a great flight. Thank you for flying with USAirways. ^LS

And the Foundation Center DC gave me kudos for a blog post I did about several free classes of theirs I signed up for:

Sweet post :) MT @awayoflife0: My post on upcoming @fcwashington classes, particularly one w/ @farra of @bigduck!! :-) awayoflife0.blogspot.com/2013/01/founda…

Lisner Auditorium expressed excitement for GMCW's spring show:

@awayoflife0 Oh how we love @gmcwashington ! Can't wait for another awesome performance!
— GW Lisner Auditorium (@gwlisneraud) January 9, 2013

As did their ED, Maryann Lombardi:

@awayoflife0 Thanks for the follow, we are excited to have you back! @gwlisneraud! @gmcwashington #dcarts

And ending on a couple of personal notes, although there were a number of personal interactions over the week that were just as great, these are obviously in my mind as they are the most recent.

My theatre colleague and friend, Jon Jon, expressed gratitude for my live tweeting of tips from the Foundation Center DC this morning:

@awayoflife0 Thank you for sharing these! So helpful!
— Jon Jon Johnson (@DCJonJon) January 9, 2013

And finally, another theatre colleague tweeting me encouragement to work out, when I was having second thoughts:

@awayoflife0 @vidafitnessdc do it!! You will feel better.

So that's it. Let's see what the next week brings,
