What in the WORLD are the Judiacs?


Some people have asked me recently about the Judiacs.  I have the #Judiacs listed prominently on my Twitter bio and have even indulged in tweeting about the topic lately.  What does it mean and is it a group?  So, I am going to do my best in this blog entry to explain the evolvement of the #Judiacs and hopefully do some credit to the members.

The first mention of the Judiacs occurred in the comment section under my "Just in case you are curious about my pineapple grove" blog entry dated 2/21/2012.  ( http://judybelle.blogspot.com/2012/02/just-in-case-anyones-curious-about-my.html?showComment=1329916333321#c3762315643674483419 ) My good friend and supporter thought that I had a potential fan base somewhat comparable to Justin Bieber's "Beliebers"  (their words, not mine-you can even check out that blog entry for more great examples).  They even came up with the Judiacs title and sent me some great pictures with titles like "Judiacs Forever"  and "I <3 Judiacs".  Man, I wish I still had those pictures.  ;-)  I was very flattered and surprised with the generous praise.

In later tweets and direct messages with this good friend, they said how they just know I am a good soul and like the way I am a Twitter social butterfly of sorts.  I am always friendly and try to be respectful of all points of view and I do enjoy promoting the people, places and things I love (this same good friend also gave me my Ambassadors Klout topic for the same reasons).

So, I think the idea of me having my own fan group called the Judiacs is really funny and flattering.  I admit I have been having fun with it.  This is me.  You know, the one who could proudly join any #geeksquad .  I feel generally awkward in real life social situations and yet somehow my true self shines through on Twitter.  In real life, it happens but it takes a while for me to warm up and overcome my innate shyness.

And, I guess some people get me.  The real me behind my insecurities, social awkwardness, and geekiness.  They like when I gush about the things I love and actually encourage me to do so.  They are the people that I would keep coming back to at a real life party because they would be my comfort zone.  They are the Judiacs and so far I know of two official members.  Please feel free to leave a comment below if you need further information about this group or if you would like to officially join my "fan club".
