----Opens the door and waves a white flag-----
I am tryly sorry if I have offended anyone with my "Anti-Twilight" post. It was not my intention at all. I sometimes forget that not everyone knows my nature. I am the type of person that if I like you, you're gonna get teased. I absolutly do nt begrudge any of you, your common interest in a very popular series of books. In fact, there may be a day that I myself pick them up. I just have not yet, simply because I have enough of a library on reserve to last at least a good year. To prove my point, while on the cruise I plan to crack on and again start my semi-annual reading of Lord of the Rings. Ask me how many times I've read this, and I'll have to think about how many years it's been since I was in the third grade. I believe the number of readings is probably higher than that. Anyway, the point is, fan obsessions are great. I have more of them than I can count. And yes, my wife was right, I was also one of those freaks who showed up to cons dressed as a Klingon back in the day. So if anyone takes offence to my teasings, my apologies. I simply do it because I share an empathy with like-minded people, and classify myself right in there with the biggest and most outlandish of them.
My other thread was simply a failed attempt at humor, and letting all the other misplaced souls know where I'll be, and extend an invitation, while you all are getting together.
