It's soooooo impressive.<br /><br />Welcome, Susan: I'm so pleased you came to visit. I checked out your website and had this whole six-degrees of separation thing since I was born in Paris and raised in New York, now live in California and once dreamed of acting. And I was a big fan of Northern Exposure. Truly honored you made yourself a follower. Thanks!<br /><br />Karen: I love that you incorporated Twitter that way!

My story was written with Aug 2009 forward in mind. So in August they started tweeting in parallel with my story's time line. But its just for fun.
