User blog comment:Kirby Phelps (PK)/Telling my friends that I like Twilight/@comment-1642927-20101108224050

I told my guy friends that I do like the series and they give me some good natured ribbing for it. I only own the movies and books -- no other merchandise. They know I'm not obsessed with it and I've expressed certain gripes I have with it. Even though they don't get why I like the series -- they are like most people and hate just by association -- they respect why I do. And the fact that I'm bigger and can easily beat the s*** out of them might help, lol.

I have girl friends who love the fact that I do like the series. I do have to tell them not to gush about the series to me. Most are level headed, but there is one who is a little crazy with her obsession.

That's my story. I don't know any easy way to tell your friends. If you stand up for beliefs, no matter how much s*** they give you, I gotta believe they will respect you for it. If not, f*** them.
