Send a tweet to someone famous that I admire and get a response

     I've been on twitter for a bit now.  I say it's the dark side of me fighting for the keyboard.  Most of the time I can be slightly sarcastic (who me?.....NOOOOO!!!!!!).  I say some funny stuff.  I send out my little bits and pieces to the few people who care.  Lately, I have been following more and more people.  I get recipe ideas, mommy ideas, hear tales and most importantly laugh.  People are funny.  I love funny.  I also get the behind the scenes of life.  I follow a few American Idol kids, watch to see when my favorite singer might be going on tour and hear about what people are doing when the camera is off. 
     Why the need for two blogs, a tumblr, facebook and twitter?  I have a voice I guess.  I say this in a whisper.  I also talk  to people who don't really hear if I get the opportunity to talk at all.  Mostly, I seem to listen.  I have also lost the woman who listened...who begged to hear every detail.  I am digressing...sorry.  The point is twitter is something I looked down upon or didn't grasp at first and now I realize it's fun.  Plus it edits my verbose ramblings...errrrr.....nah...I don't ramble.  There's that sarcasm again. 
     So just last night while trying to get my buddy Ingrid Michaelson to respond I started to follow Fabio Viviani.  He was on Richard's twitter list and I was very excited to find him.  Just this morning I fired up twitter only to see that he was answering some questions.  If you don't know who Fabio and Richard are then you don't watch Top Chef.  I asked him when he was going to have his own show and he responded almost immediately with "when I am offered a show I believe in".  I already thought he was pretty awesome and now I just respect him even more.  Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go research some hambooger recipes...fabio's tweets are the first place I'll look.
