I Met Him Thru Twitter🐦& Fell In Love

~1~

I am Kia Lee Collins, I just turned 19, but that wasn't such a big deal for me, just another year older and another year alone in a state that was in the middle of nowhere called Kansas. I didn't have any friends and only a couple of acquaintances that would talk to me every now and then, but I was ok with it because I had many other kinds of friends that I chatted with all the time. That's right I was one of the many social media fanatics, I made and had more friends from all over the world that I talked to, even though they were so far away they weren't real friends, but still good enough for me. I liked Facebook and Instagram ok, but I loved Twitter the most because it had the most action in it. Plus it had more people that were willing to talk/tweet.

For several months now I built up a group of follower's that tweeted me daily, then some that only tweeted with me on the weekends, but it was all good because there were always freelance people to tweet just to see if I could find any new follower's willing to make friends with me. I even jumped into a Twitter group that actually roleplayed for a living and I thought it would be fun, so I casually went into the conversation and made a few comments, then almost automatically one of them sent me a DM and began asking me questions, and ended up letting me join the silly group. At first, I stayed shy and slowly commented on some of the tweets that I thought was funny. 

As the months went onward, I became more entwined with the group and was even committed into the family and considered their sister which to them was a big and honorable thing, but deep down because I knew it was just roleplaying I never took it seriously. But it still hurt when they decided they didn't like me anymore and excluded me out, but I didn't let them know it, I just simply unfollowed and blocked them all up, and went on with my life, plus I still had my other friends to chat with on Messenger just to give Twitter a rest for a while. 

It wasn't until the third week after I left Twitter that I randomly received a DM thru Twitter, at first I wanted to just ignore it and continue checking thru Facebook and Instagram, but after I didn't answer it, I received a second DM. So I gave a little sigh and pulled up Twitter to check it out before I went to sleep, because it was around 2 in the morning, not that I had anything to do the next day, it was just that I was finally getting sleepy, from extreme insomnia that I suffered from every night of my life. I slowly pulled up my Direct Messages and looked who it was first that was messaging me, I was attracted to the profile picture right away, then I looked at the name, which read Criss Angel. Then I read the message which said...

{#CrissAngel} "sorry for the inconvenience, but I was just curious if you were a fellow insomniac as I am."

Then I read the second message trying to figure out if I was tweeting with a male or a female because the profile and username didn't mean a lot and when I read his profile it was hidden so I couldn't tell. The second message was rather comical I thought because all it read was...

{#CrissAngel} "I Guess Not, but it was rather enjoyable tweeting to your mailbox"

After I read the last Direct Tweet I couldn't help but answer it.

{#KC*} "You Guessed Correct, I am a huge insomniac, and thanks for the laugh by tweeting to my mailbox lol, I needed that."

I waited curiously to see if this person would respond, or if I waited too long and went offline or found someone else to tweet. I just about gave up when I saw the three little dots move, letting me know that I was getting a response and for some reason, I became overly excited about it.

{#CrissAngel} " I am glad I could be of comical assistance to you and rather happy to find another insomniac, are you interested in conversing because I am extremely bored and can't sleep at all."

{#KC*} "I love chatting with anyone willing to chat with me, but it's gotten to be very slim pickings these nights, not many people stay up all night anymore to chat with...so what would you like to talk about?"

{#CrissAngel} "Just about anything, I am not particular at all."

{#KC*} " Ok, let's play 20 questions just a silly/fun way to get better acquainted."

{#CrissAngel} "Perfect, I love mind games, let's start, shall we? Beens both of our profiles are hidden from each other I'll start with the question, Are you a boy or a girl, but I am gonna guess 'girl'."

{#KC*} "Correct, and by the way you're responding I am gonna say you are a guy, How old are you?"

{#CrissAngel} "You are good at this Correct I am a guy, that is old enough to know better, but turn around and get into trouble anyway lol, how old are you?"

{#KC*} "That was a very cute way to get around from telling me your age, but I'm not quite as secretive lol, I just turned 19 a few months ago."

{#CrissAngel} "OK, you win I am 37, happy belated birthday, so what does KC stand for?"

{#KC*} " 37 isn't that old and Thank You for the birthday wishes, and it's actually my initials but I also use it as a nickname, it stands for Kia Collins. Is Criss Angel your real name?"

{#CrissAngel} "Wow Kia that's a very lovely name, but Kc is a cute nickname as well, Criss Angel is my professional stage name, Christopher Sarantakos is my real name, and you're welcome."

I'll bet Criss and I talked for over 5 hours because by the time he said he had to get ready for work, it was already 6 in the morning. So we both said our goodbye tweets then he asked rather quickly if I would be around another night for us to DM because he had many restless nights. I told him I was always ready and willing to DM with him anytime all he had to do was send them & I would answer him. He then sent me two emoji's before he went offline, one was a thumbs up and the second was a winking smiley face. I put my phone on the charger and curled up in my bed and decided I was going to get to sleep so I could have another all night Tweet session with my new Twitter Pal {#CrissAngel}.
