@Loster21's Tweets O' the Day from *sigh* May 23, 2010

A day that will be etched on my brain for perhaps years to come.  Too tired to say more at this point, other than for me, it was beautiful, amazing,  beyond all my expectations, and I am completely content.  Not everyone agrees, and I feel for them truly,  but Tweets O’ the Day is meant to be a happy place, so those tweets won’t be here.  These tweets are from most of the day and night of Finale Day, May 23, 2010.  The #ThanksToLost hashtag was still going strong. I cut it off at midnight Pacific; more tomorrow, obviously.  If you are in the US, you may not know that other countries were able to watch the finale at 5 am this morning (5/24) their time.  If you’re not in the US, you may not know that we had a two-hour summary/clip show that preceded the finale, and that during commercials, fan messages of thanks and farewell were imposed upon LOST props, and these were referred to as “Final Transmissions.”
