After reading the TW's blog this morning when I woke up, I was stunned, for his wife. Being forced into the twi-closet because you are afraid of what others might think. Believe me, gay people everywhere know EXACTLY how you feel! I just felt that she needed some support from us Twilighters.
Dear Twilight Widowers Wife,
I am so sorry to hear your dinner did not go well with your old friends. Clearly you have outgrown them and perhaps it's time to let the friendship fall by the wayside. True friends never make us feel ashamed of who we are or what we like. They support us in every way. Obviously for your "friends" (and I use the term loosely) to albeit unknowingly bash your beloved Edward tells me that they really do not know you at all.
I say, stand PROUD my fellow Twilighter!! Even Shakespeare was thought to be a fruitcake in his own time....it wasn't until the 19th century that his work was regarded with praise and revered as the work of a master. Be rested knowing that when all is said and done Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight Saga will be regarded as one of the greatest quadriliogies of our time. Over 20 million copies of Twilight have been sold in the United States alone. With and additional 5 million in other country sales. (It's probably harder to get Twilight outside the US because we believe in FREEDOM here to read what we choose).
Remember, "university" people like knowledge and facts. That is one thing you can share with them in the event they Twi-bash again. The greatest selling books of all time are the Bible, of up to 6 billion copies, interspersed with Dickens "A talke of two Cities" at 200 million and Tolkiens "Lord of the Rings" at 150 million copies. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" comes it at a mere 36 million (barely above Stephanie Meyers' Twilight) and that is considered one of the greatest books ever written! Oh, and don't forget to let your friends know, that over 40 million copies of the entire saga alone have been sold, beating out even the uppity Micheline Guide- so they can stick that in their hooka and smoke it.
And please remember my fellow Twilighter, that generally the only reason people belittle a thing is because they are afraid of it. Afraid of it's power over them. To belittle makes your friends feel powerful, when it is clearly a narrow minded judgment. Ask yourself, "how can one possibly have an opinion on something they know nothing about?" Or do they? ::raises eyebrow::
YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH! Do not be ashamed to be a Twilighter! There are after all LEGIONS of us out there. I wear my Bella Bracelet every day, proudly! I take my pocket Edward everywhere, and I use my Twilight carrying case as a purse! SO MISSY, YOU PUT ON YOUR TEAM EDWARD HOODIE AND HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH! YOU ARE A TWILIGHTER! SAY IT WITH ME NOW, I A M A T W I L I G H T E R ! LOUDER!!
I A M A T W I L I G H T E R ! I A M A T W I L I G H T E R! L O U D E R!!!
I A M A T W I L I G H T E R!!!! YEA!!! NOW YOU GOT IT!! SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!
::high fives:: Now run out and get your twilight tattoo and wear it proudly!!
Remember this, the true measure of a book is not what other people think of it. It's true measure comes from where it takes the reader, the feelings it inspires in the reader and the vision and inspiration it gives the reader. Even the Bible can be construed as crap if it doesn't inspire you.
And "since I'm going to hell, I may as well do it thoroughly" and TAKE SMs BOOKS WITH ME!
Love and Twilights always,
Ms Lisa
Oh, and on a sidenote there Widower, you missed a GRAND Edwardian opportunity to come to your wife's rescue and defense of her love of Twilight that night, that probably would have turned you into Edward (in her eyes) and gotten you laid for pretty much EVER! Just a thought. ::wink::
