Thoughts on a Tweet

I always thought it would be cool if I ever tweeted Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy) something and get a response. Today I did.

I tweeted her about a dream I had Monday night in which Derek referred to Meredith as "Meredith Grey-Shepherd" and asked if my dream might come true. Her response, "She doesn't have to change her name to love him."

That wasn't at all what I was trying to imply but apparently others thought that because I got other tweets about as well.

I DON'T CARE that Meredith didn't change her name! I wasn't even expecting her to, because it's just not Meredith. I did however LOVE the acknowledgement that they ARE actually married, because we get no form of that on the show. She wears no ring, she has she same name, heck, the marriage itself isn't even legal! And yes, that BUGS me. But in no way do I think that because Meredith didn't change her name that means she doesn't love him! But you can't easily explain that in 140 characters. And you REALLY can't get that across to someone who has so many followers that it's a total God thing I even got a reply and who probably tuned me out the second she responded simply because other things (and tweeters) wanted a reply to their question...That's why I came here. Shonda will never read this so she'll never know, but it certainly makes ME feel better!

For those interested, in the dream Meredith was doing an operation with Derek talking her through it directly across from her. Things started to go south and Mer began to panic. Derek tried to calm her down and finally said "Meredith Grey-Shepherd...." That stopped her in her rambling and Derek was able to calm her down and get things back on track.

That's what it was all about...NOT about questioning how much they love each other! And now that that's out of my system, I will enjoy this Grey's day! Hope you do too!

And just so you know, I DO appreciate Shonda answering my tweet....I just think something was implied that wasn't meant to be and this is the only way I have of clearing that up! :)
