BlogoWriMo Day 14 - It's a T-shirt Bonanza!

For the past few days I have been leaving cryptic statuses on my Facebook account about squeemageddon and t-shirts. Cryptic you ask? How so? Well, this is my real life (RL) Facebook account and the majority of my "friends" don't know about my Twilight obsession (only those nearest and dearest to me). And then on Friday it happened, one of my co-workers at my current client asked me what squimidgeon was. Thought 1: respond with a question...what do you mean? (because obviously she didn't spell it right so how the hell should I know what she's talking about. Or Thought 2: tell the truth...or as much as I was willing to reveal. So this is what I sent back to my co-worker:

From: Heather (because for obvious reasons I don't go by FC at work)
To: Heather's Co-worker
Subject: Re: how RTs do charges (that's top secret shizz)

Oh, um, that's what people are calling the premiere of New Moon (you know the new Twilight movie). All of us fangirls will be squeeing all over the place. Here's the definition of squee from Urban Dictionary:

A noise primarily made by an over-excited fangirl, however it has spread rapidly and is now widely spread among the web community.
Ex. Omg!! New Harry Potter book out!! Omg Squee squee! omg!!!

I tried to make it less obvious to my Facebook friends what I was talking about. Only a very few chosen ones really know what I'm talking about, heh. Hope this at least made you laugh!

Of course this made her laugh...I am sure that I will be the butt of many jokes when I come back on Monday, but let me tell you this...at least 3 separate women have come up to me secretly to tell me how much they have loved Twilight. Yeah, that's what she said! Okay, so why is this only half the truth? Because my own personal definition of squee also includes some female jizzing. Just sayin'.

So, onto the rest of the Facebook status...the shirt. Amber and Kerry from Eyes of Amber were nice enough to send me a CafePress t-shirt. I don't want to reveal why...let's just say smuggling may or may not have been involved. Anyhoo, I've been sweatin' whether or not the shirt would arrive in time for the premiere. This afternoon I checked my mailbox and guess what I found. Not one but two packages from CafePress. I was absolutely certain my shirt had finally arrived. I knew that I must immediately put it on and model it for you.

I know...I'm totally a contender for Rack of the Week right?
But what of the second package? I was absolutely perplexed! It turns out Betti and Mrs. Vanquish are super awesome and sent me a special shirt! Check it out and drool bitches!


If you don't recognize this awesomeness, then you should check out the Twilight Book v. Movie discussion. Still not convinced? Then check out the front and back shots of this awesome shirt and then go check out the discussion!




Thank you everyone! Today was like Christmas...a Twilight Christmas! I love you all!
