(large edit)

And associating me with “teh” is totally not weird.  I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll think about Twitter people when away from the Internet, strange as that may sound to some, and I assume I’m not the only one who does that.  I do the same association thing with other people and other things.

“I wonder if Tony would like this coffee joke I just thought of.”

“I bet Bailey would like those kittens over there, precariously stacked on top of each other.”

And so on.

Ditto with the pigeon picture.

I started using it on a lark (HA!) but then had actually switched it to something else for awhile, and then one night, around 2am or so, @brettp, who was coming off of a very long/bad day, mentioned something about “missing the pigeon”. I still had the picture around, so I added it back, intending to change it again in a week or so.

But the number of people who mentioned being glad to see it back made me realize that it was, for better or worse, now “me”.

I think it took longer for me to accept it than anyone else.
