words with my friends

so I love playing words with friends (even though I am horrible at it).  I have been playing for a while with someone named balletgal that I thought was my friend karen.  then today I found out that karen's words with friends name is the same as her twitter handle (not balletgal).  so, on words with friends, I asked balletgal who she was and it turns out that she is an old friend of mine (actually the mother of two of the kids that were in my wedding).  weird how social media has enabled us to connect on so many levels that sometimes we don't even realize who we are connecting with.

p.s. I told all this to my father and he just didn't get it
