Oh My!
What a shocker!
Robert ended up in London!
Excuse me for bringing up Grandma Rose again...
But she said to me the other day...
"Rosie... when is that boy going to go home?"
Exactly.
Robert going back to London isn't any great surprise.
It was inevitable, wasn't it?
Still not sure how Rob going to London
somehow equates to him not wanting to be with Kristen.
Oh right.
Robert never went to see Kristen in NOLA
Because there wasn't a clear picture...
Gotcha.
Well...
Rob didn't magically appear in London, either.
He managed to get from New Orleans to London
without a picture being taken, too...
and lo and behold...
There he be.
Sometimes it works out that way.
Sometimes Robert manages not to get his picture taken.
And he still exists...
And hey...
If you want to believe that Robert didn't get to NOLA
Go for it.
But what happens if(when) Kristen turns up in London?
Then what?
Will you pull out the same tired excuses?
Don't answer that.
I already know you will.
I adore Kristen Stewart.
I do.
I make no excuses.
"Speak" was on TV last night.
I watched it.
Again.
Kristen is so young in that movie...
but she was awesome.
I love it.
I even loved that Michael Oregano was in it.
Because I know I kinda poke fun at him...
but he was kinda cute in the movie.
I love watching Kristen outside of Twilight.
I love Bella...
But I love seeing her in other roles.
And one more thing...
There was a lot of twitter drama about Kristen...
Someone was making fun of her...
People were defending her...
As usual with online drama
it was blown out of proportion.
Look...
You don't have to like Kristen Stewart.
I don't give a shit one way or another if you do or not.
But the things that were said about her...
The names she was called...
just because she wore the Beastie Boys t-shirt?
No one deserves that.
You don't like her? Ignore her.
It has to be easier than the constant snarling and snapping at her
that you do day in and day out...
And for God's sake...
Stop pretending to be her fan
pretending to like her...
and then turn around and call her horrific names.
It's SO transparent. Really.
Good Fucking Grief.
Get over it.
So...
I leave with one of my favorite pictures from Montreal.
The intimate proximity.
The smile on his face.
No one is faking that.
No one is being forced to react that way.
No one isn't doing exactly what they want to do...
with who they want to do it with.
Will Kristen turn up in London?
Of course I hope she does...
Kristen can relax there...
She can breathe there.
And she can be with Robert.
Breathing.
Relaxing.
Together.
Because no matter what you say...
Robert and Kristen are always better
when they are together.
We shall see.
This post is brought to you by the letter *E*
E for "I only have EYES for You"
The song that comes to mind whenever
I see that picture from Montreal...
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you.
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you.
Bye for now

Yummm...southern biscuits!!!!
Take Care Smitty,
And please tell Syd and Gruff I said Hello!
Will do Manjen--knowing Syd he'll be back once he eats and knows the coast is clear....lol...he can be a bit of a chicken shit. LOL!
Smitty
Yes, that movie had incredible performers, dance scenes, songs, lines, and such magic that even the Great Depression in America at that time, could be vanquished, for a couple of hours.
The power of the imagination and music, unbeatable.
And the power of Love, unstoppable.
Te, he, I am playing Fred right now, here in my dining room but I keep messing up the steps (not so good on the rollerskates myself).
Yes SueBee...made with Buttermilk...they ONLY way to make GREAT southern biscuits!!
Stop reading between the lines...if you don't so help me Ill hit you in the conk.....i mean that or my name isn't Jessica Alba!!
Biscuits!
My hubster is funny.. he bought premade biscuits the other day (I didn't accompany him to the store.. lesson learned). He pulls them out of the shopping bag, and I was like wtf dude? You know I can make those, right?
@manjen
Okay, okay, I'll be good. (sort of/mostly)
I'll just sit here with my Honey Bear Bottles and wait.
Manjen & Tracy
My mouth is watering, so tell me, do you both use real butter and such for those buttermilk biscuits?
Would you post a recipe or is that asking too much?
SueBee
Just kidding..I would NEVER hit you in the conk...NEVER..YOu know how much I swoon you..
I just used that b/c Smitty taught it to me the other night, while we were all discussing the difference between Americans and Britians and I have been dying to use it...SOrry and I so HEART YOU!!
@manjen
I heart you too, baby.
I loves some biscuits!!!!!
Off topic, but has anyone ever had those cinnamon raisin biscuits from Hardees? Heaven! (just saying)
How did I miss Roses's Rap and all the romantic stuff? Did I go to bed too early?
Glsd Maria has backed off for the time being.I was getting nauseous and light-headed.
If we're taking parts of Kristen, can I please have her mouth? My lips are too thin.
At DreamerKind
I don't use butter during preparation..I use:
Self Rising Flour
Buttermilk
Crisco Shortening
But I don't know how much of each item I use...Sorry, I just go by the texture..
Oh--wait a second. I owe you a Syd story. Since our young "fan" brought up the name I'll tell you where it came from because it is a classic. This happened way before I was dating Gruff or even had met them. They were in some club and this girl walked in who was really hot. Syd fell in love on the spot and so they sort of followed her a bit. They overheard her telling someone she was on a blind date and was supposed to meet "Syd" so, of course, Syd was born. He then approached her and spent the whole night with her and dated her for about 3 months the whole time pretending to be "Syd". She would call his house (at this time he was still with his parents) and lied and said it was his nickname and his parents (who are adorable) went along with it all thinking it was just good fun and not the horrible dishonest foundation of their relationship.
Okay at this point usually Syd breaks into the story to say that it was all great except that when they were in bed together and she would call out his name, he would lose his huh concentration..not because he felt guilty but because he would always be surprised to hear her yelling out someone else's name and he would be like, looking around trying to figure out who the hell she was talking to!
Eventually I guess whoever arranged the meeting figured out that she was not dating the real Syd and the girl bailed but yea, that's how the whole Syd thing started.
What a player huh? This was in his wild days--he's much more ...
Okay I can't lie--he would probably do it again in a heartbeat.
Love ya Syd!
Smitty (and I owed you that for the whole -favorite body part thing last night)
@ SueBee
I love cinnamon raisin buscuits from Hardee's as well
Sorry.. had to braid the kiddo's hair.
Southern biscuits.. real butter.. Of course! And I don't know the recipe off the top of my head to type it out. Grandma taught that "oh, about that much" technique of biscuit making.
I can do the gravy too.. for when you want biscuits and gravy. My friend keeps trying to remind me of what's it's made with, but I keep telling her to hush. As long as I don't think about it, I'm okay with eating it. Calories don't count.
@ Smitty
Great Story...but I have to tell you the girl at the pub with the hairy chest has to be a classic around here...LOL!
Biscuits and Gravy!!!!!!!!! Craved it the whole time I was expecting Baby Bee #1!
Don't you guys all feel better knowing that?
I'll just go sit back down with my Honey Bear Bottles!
Dear Rose,
Thank you for always being the voice of reason.
Agree with all of you wise words.
Yes, the Montreal pic of Rob and Kristen is beautiful.
Happy "Auntie" Celebration for LJ.. Hooray!
Elaine, I will have you and your friend in my thoughts and prayers.
Tracy, put a little ladybug or tiny dragonfly on the little crab's back if you haven't made one for Olivia yet.
*STANDING UP AND APPLAUDING FOR THE COMMENTS BY A FRIEND/SMITTY* at 2:15
Hear! Hear! My thoughts but you expressed them so much more powerfully and passionately.
Hugs to you. You are awesome.
SueBee, here is a piece of 70% dark, wonderful chocolate. You deserve the best! HC/Survivor is a gift that just keeps on giving. Bravo!
Oh, do you also have the kind in the squeeze teddy with cinnamon in it? I love that on warm PB toast.
Dear Maria,
You are such an important member of Roseland. Please try to see that this is a wonderful place that so many of us come to after a hard day at work, school, or being at home. It is a safe place, where we are not worried about being goofy, silly, and just plain naughty at times. It is all a joke. Sometimes Louisa is one of the best jokesters. It is kind of like watching avant garde theatre....it is all a mirage and confusing, but most often is over our heads and is attended for the experience. We are all here for the fun experience and making great connections across the world with people that enjoy Rose's beautiful blog and the extra fun of visiting through the blog comments. Rose is so very kind to allow this and we need to respect the fact that she herself has told us so many times that her friends have enjoyed visiting here and love teasing her and us. I won't even get to the wooing and serenading and the fact that I do feel left out...but, that is a whole other topic that I would never get into. : )
Let it be sweet Maria. It is a great way to have fun, chill, and relax a bit without hurting anyone.
Life is good! Let it be!
Damn you guys type fast!
Smitty, great story! That would sure be a distraction hearing someone else's name.
Hugs to all,
Olivia (TX.)
@ SueBee
Biscuits are ready...
You craved Biscuits and Gravy???
I craved Plums..LOL...And the more sour they were...the better!
for kstewrocks
When did I ever say that Rob fans weren't bad? Of course I recognise Kristen gets hate. Its kinda hard not to see it and I'm totally against it. And yes I actually support both R/K, believe it or not if you want to.
Did I say that Rob fans should only respect Kristen fans once they only respect Kristen? No. I don't think like that. I know that the hate towards Kristen is worse.
But you're saying because of that Rob hate should be ignored and its ok? Does hate justify hate?
Yes I do accept that some of my fellow Rob fans are nutcases but not all of them. I'm friends with plenty of Rob fans who support Kristen as well. I think you fail to accept that not everyone loves Rob and will hate him. Not saying that its worse than Kristen hate. Sigh, I don't wanna cause a fight and I'm not saying this to cause drama. I recognise theres hate on both sides and I respect both Rob and Kristen. Thats just my reply to your post to me.
to Karen
I really love Kristen eyes...she's a beautiful girl. I wonder if she knows how beautiful she is?
hehehehe.. poor Syd..
but I'm worried about this chick! 3 whole months?! And she didn't figure it out?!
Woah..
My brain just took a detour into the gutter..
But I'm going to behave. For now.
I meant "Did I say that Rob fans should only respect Kristen fans once they only respect Rob?" Typo Sorry
@Olivia
Thank you! I adore chocolate--Reese's Cups/Reese's Sticks--you name it.
I do have quite the sweet tooth.
Of course, I have Honey Bear Bottles of all sorts. Take your pick!
:o)
I craved Subway bread.. from the sandwich restaurant.. I would wake up, and I SWEAR I could smell fresh baked subway bread.
And limes. I always wanted limes. It was so weird.
@manjen
Yep, I craved yummy biscuits and gravy with Baby Bee #1.
With Baby Bee #2, I craved Dolly Madison Raspberry Sweet Rolls.
I'm skinny now, but I sure knew how to enjoy a pregnancy! LOL
OMG, I forgot one of the most important things!
We are all here as mature people who wish to show respect to Rob and to Kristen, and to Rob and Kristen, to Rose, and to each other.
Love,
Believer,
Olivia (TX.)
Reeses rock!
And, I love hot biscuits. Yummity! Thanks for baking them.
Ooh, such a long time ago...but
I craved Baskin Robbins Cookies and Cream Ice Cream.
My daughter is here with me, and she is recovering from a minor surgery, and she wants Taco Bell for dinner.
I offered to make her Chinese or homemade tacos but no, I'll be heading out for the chainfood restaurant.
See you all, later, well, really very much later, since I come the most alive after midnight(and after midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out?).
Till we meet again!
Rose,
I would hereby formally request that you block Smitty from the board. She is nothing but a troublemaker and gossip hound.
AND, you know how it is ladies...you and your mate have some wild adventures and then one of you gets a girlfriend. So, the only loyal thing to do, when the wild times are discussed, is to protect your friend's reputation by agreeing that every crazy wild thing happened to you so that your mate's girlfriend can go on thinking he was a sainted virgin until he met her.
Chew on that Smitty. Think of all the stories you know about us and doesn't it seem odd that I am ALWAYS the one who did the crazy stunts?? Now I will never disclose which were me and which were him but you might not be quite so jovial about sharing and laughing about these tales if, in fact, your beloved was actually the one doing the act.
Oh--and can I please have some biscuits--they sound delicious!
dreamerkind,
Follow the biscuit recipe on bisquick but add 1/3 C cold butter. They are really good. Don't over knead or mix though.
Geez...I go to sleep of a headache and come back to find out that we have Ms. Kristen Stewart in the house!! Damn it Smitty...I wrote the wrong name on your crab last night!!
Here Syd,
Take a biscuit...
Hey SueBee can you give Syd some honey??? I think if he keeps picking on Smitty she may come back and...Oh, I don't even want to think about what could happen to him...I'm so scared!!
Syd
Don't forget the honey with the biscuits .. we've found out our resident SueBee is a corporate mogul and didn't tell us before today! She apparently OWNS the Suebee honey company.
Tricksy I tell ya.. that one is tricksy!
Leigh
I have been having a field day with the fiddler crab stuff. I've been telling people you were running around with a sharpie in one hand, and a drink in the other, stalking those fiddlers...
hehehe :)
@ Leigh
You left here this morning telling us we all had crabs....
What is going on, the suspense has been killing us!!
Hey kids guess what I'm still here.....on a school night aswell because I'm off work this week! yayyyy....
Just been catching up on last nights shenanigans.....Tracy BIG THANKS for my shout outs!!!! made me smile that you thought of me while I was Zzzzzzzzzzzzz....thanks my friend.
Thanks everyone for asking about my nephew little baby Tom, hes sooo cute, wish you were all friends with me on facebook so you could see him :-)
Smitty, Gruff and Syd....love you guys even though you are not celebs ;-) special love to my fellow Brits Gruff and Syd (btw Syd that rap was f'ing inspired).
I deffo need to get myself a STFU hoody...bloody love it.
❤ Je vous aime tous ❤
LJ
Come over here, Syd. I have some honey for you.
From my honey bear bottle, of course!
Oh and btw, biscuits and gravy???? whats that all about. I'm hoping that the gravy you guys eat there is different to the stuff I put on my sunday roast? :-D
LJ
Sue are you propositioning me? Should I put my wooing hat on?
LJ,
A biscuit here is not a cookie. It's a doughy, not sweet accompaniment served with honey or sometimes gravy. For breakfast you could have biscuits with a sausage gravy.
@LJ
It's a white, creamy, sausage gravy. Very yummy.
Syd,
No more with the woo word. Maybe we should use dazzle instead, or is that only permissible for Gruff?
O-kay Syd are you taking lessons in delusional behavior from our friend Maria? Dude--your MOM told me that story first!! I really doubt Gruff would ask your parents to lie for him. No way.
And, he's told me some good stories about himself also so no, I don't think (and I wouldn't want) him to be a "sainted virgin" but dude, you know that one was YOU!
Nice try though but come up with another plan because I am not drinking the kool-aid on that one.
Biscuits? Yum!
And um, dude, aren't you on a fucking date right now?? What the hell buddy?
Public Service Announcement
Too much woo can lead to crabs.
Be careful.
* This PSA brought to you by SKYY Vodka.
We now return to our regularly scheduled banter.
Syd is a two-wooer!
Smitty
This is a habit of his, isn't it? Does he have like dating ADD or something?
He's all sweet on one girl, then Oh look.. another girl..
It's seriously damaging to the ego.
Phew...Penny Lane thanks for filling me in. I was having an image of some sort of delicious chocolate chip biscuit covered in beef gravy! eeeew
@ Tracy
You are so right...remember he and I had a date this past Friday night and look how that turned out!!
LJ,
I knew your mind was going there as soon as the gravy was mentioned. What would you have in place of our biscuits with gravy? Scones? I'm curious.
@A/Syd
Just offering some honey, naughty boy. :o)
Watching you woo the masses tends to lessen the sparkle/dazzle effect even if you do look so cute doing it.
Tracy--you got it babe--he totally does this shit. That is why ALL the stories are in fact about him!
@LJ
Your bicuits are our cookies. I think our biscuits are more like plain scones for you?
Mmmmm afternoon tea....
Home made fruit scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam...washed down with a pot of English Breakfast tea, now we are talking
:-)
LJ,
What the heck is clotted cream? It sounds disgusting though not as bad as spotted dick
@LJ
Okay, so is clotted cream like sour cream or whipped cream?
SueBee, I am still confused ha ha...
My biscuits are your cookies, so are your biscuits like savoury scones?
I am enjoying my american lesson!
Welcome Gruff,
Join the fun. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you last night, though I did have to defend you all mightily today against the delusional Maria.
Penny
Okay, what is spotted dick, besides a veneral disease?
I do believe our bicuits are comparable to your savory scones...
welcome Gruff
Don't worry nobody belives Syd.
@ SueBee
WHAT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Tracy- love the PSA about crabs. I know a few people that probably need to read that.
Smitty- I have no doubt Syd did that! He can't help himself.
Gruff- please do share some goodies on our resident charmer.
LJ- I have been to London and love it. Next time I go I want to do a proper English Tea if possible. Think it would be fun.
@manjen
What? Um, honey bottles? Spotted dick? Or clotted cream?
LOL
Suebee and manjen,
I think spotted dick is some kind of pudding with fruit in it. But it does sound like a badly diseased manroot.
Spotted dick?!
I've seen that at the grocery store here, but I've never gotten it. I should.. just to watch the cashier's reaction.. take it up there and ask if they have striped, as I am not a big fan of spots.
Gruff/Syd- I have a question for you. I love the theater. Try to get to NY when I can to see some shows when I can.
My favorite bar none is "Starlight Express" which I saw when in England.
Have either of you seen it? Just wondering.
Clotted cream is amazing...it's like really really thick buttery cream you could stand a spoon up in.
If you just have a fruit scone with jam and clotted cream and tea...its called a cream tea.
If you had an afternoon or 'high' tea, you would have a selection of sandwiches, followed by a cake stand full of scones, cakes and pastries to choose from and drink tea.....
Or even better, you could go to a really nice hotel and have a champagne afternoon tea, I had that once at Claridges in London and it was soooo good!
:-)
Katy, she does have the most beautiful eyes. She's definitely a beautiful girl with or without make up. She's so modest and self-conscious, I wonder the same thing.
LJ-
Claridges is where I want to go for high tea but the champagne tea sounds delish.
to Gruff
As Melinda said...'please do share some goodies on our resident charmer.'.
So clotted cream is like butter or creamier? I'm not trying to be obtuse...I'm just really interested.
High tea sounds wonderful!
Okay...so here is the story. At least the abbreviated version.
Last night after a little too much to drink my Hubby's best friend and I thought it would be fun to see who could catch the most fiddler crabs on the beach. (don't ask why...I really don't know) I can't stand to let anyone get the best of me so...I spent over a hour running around with my bucket and bottle of wine. (you were almost right Tracy) After is was all said and done...I WAS VICTORIOUS!! I had 36 and he only had a measly 23. We were sitting around on my porch and I for some reason had the bright idea to paint their claws with my fingernail polish. (once again...don't ask why because I don't know.)
Well, as I was sitting there painting their claws (while my husband held them with kitchen tongs) Electric Rose...I had the bright idea to put names on them with a paint pen. As there were only seven of us left standing at this point I then used a paint pen (neon green and hot pink) to write our names on them.
Sorry...Penny Lane I had to abbreviate yours as it would not fit. Same for you Wildhart...you are 007! So...look for your fiddler everyone. Sadly, I did put Smitty, Syd, and Gruff...had I only known... ;'(
Oh my gosh.. tea. I am a tea addict. And it's bad. There's a store here.. Teavana.. It's heavenly. All sorts of loose leaf tea to try.
One more British food question, LJ, and then I'll hush.
What are coddled eggs?
Tracy-
No one can make tea like the South! We know how to do it right.
SueBee, its creamier than butter...imagine whipped cream but really really thick and with a texture of soft butter but really sweet. Cornish clotted cream is the best....they make ice cream with clotted cream in cornwall aswell....totally amazing (but calorific!).
Women! Can't live with them....
Congrats Auntie LJ!!
A Nephew for you :) Blessings upon all of you!
And...I wish you could have heard my Hubby asking me where we came up with all of these names last night. It is kind of funny when you think about it...
Cant live without them!
Can't kill 'em...
I knew you were in trouble the minute I read that mate!
Leigh
Sweet!! I have a fiddler crab with my name on it. Maybe I'll look for that bugger when I'm down in the area next month. That'd be hilarious.
Hubster: Uhm.. what are you doing?
Me: Looking for my crab! It's here! I know it!
Hubster: 0_o
Gruff-
good thing she is the love of your life...but yeah you men wouldn't know what to do without us. We keep life interesting.
LOL @ Tracy!! It's there in Neon Pink! I should have taken pictures. But to be honest...I wasn't thinking all that clearly ;)
SueBee...Awesome Diary!! Love it!!
And with all due respect to whatever Brit (LJ I believe( is answering the food questions, you left out one crucial fact: Tea, especially high tea at stuffy places is definitely for women only. They serve you little bity food on little bity plates and it is a SLOW process with much boring conversation. Thankfully, my mum dragged me to a few when I was about 10 in an effort to give me some culture. By the time I was 13 or so, she gave up on the whole effort and realized I was never going to be more than a buffoon.
Leigh-
you must have been a sight to behold last night.
Tracy-
I could so see you doing that.
Melinda, I seriously recommend Claridges...it's gorgeous.
SueBee coddled eggs are really lightly cooked eggs. A bit like partially cooked poached eggs, but where you cook poached eggs in boiling water...coddled eggs are cooked in water that is warm but not boiling.
You can either cook them in their shell or use a special egg coddler!
:-)
Leigh,
What a lovely story--I am sorry though that there is no little Syd crab running amuck on a beach nearby.
Syd
Syd...if you ever make it to the Gulf of Mexico...just keep a eye out ;) There is one running around down here!
Rose has two as she is extra special...she has one in neon green and with fingernail polish in Electric Rose ;) Fitting don't you think? LOL!!
Lovely Rose,
How are you doing today? I hope you've had a great weekend.
We'll, @ least Rob is in London, away from hte fans and the paps..
and sooner or later, Kristen is going to end up in London..They always end up together.
If fans trully respect Kristen, then be happy with whoever sh'e with..Dont pretend to like her and say nasty stuff about Rob..and Likewise same with Rob's fans..
No matter what we say, people will still have something nasty to say about Rob and Kristen.
Just keep on defending them and dont go sites that promote the hate.
I hope Rob and Kristen just run away together and leave all these behind.
Thanks, Lovely Rose for always defending Rob and Kristen..
You rtully care about them..
Have a wonderful day..
Ha ha yeah Gruff, I agree. High tea is probably only something women would enjoy. Although when I had it, it was the champagne version and we were leathered by the end of it so I think you may have enjoyed that one more ;-)
LJ (aka 'whatever Brit')
Melinda
I live in the south, but I don't like southern tea (sweet tea). Never have liked it.
My current fave is a white ayurvedic chai and samurai chai mate blend. It is super yummy.
And there's an oolong blend that I really really like too.
@Leigh
Did I get a crab? Did I make the cut? :o)
SueBee,
Here is my best attempt to woo you...although nobody wants me to say woo again. But I like the woo. And, for your stellar diary entry today and for amusing us in so many other ways...here is your very own woo...its kind of a weird song but I like that it references voices because it reminds me of your chronicles. Enjoy! Syd
This is not a movie
Things just ain't the same as your favourite video
Try standing back and move me
next to you's a very nice place to go
Talk talk to Suzie!
"I went through a million choices."
Talk, Set it up for Suzie!
"I listened to a million voices"
And they said...
"Don't let me down" they said
"Don't let me down again"
No no...
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!"
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!"
Oh no no no
Read not what the stars say
There's an evil lurking round every door
It's not enough to make you leave me
And I never wanted you to go
Talk talk to Suzie!
",I went through a million choices"
Talk, Set it up for Suzie!
"I listened to a million voices"
And they said...
"Don't let me down" they said
"Don't let me down" they said
"Don't let me down again"
No no...
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!"
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!"
Oh, time has leering on
So take another breath
And taste this one more time again
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!",
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!",
Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment
"I'm yours, tonight!"
Will someone explain what spotted dick is and why anyone would ever eat something with that name?
Oh! LJ before I forget. I'm totally going to go get the stuff to crochet that blankie tomorrow. :) I've got to go out and get some stuff for another one I'm working on anyway.
Any color preferences? Blue? or something else?
Oh Leigh I am so flattered! I misread and thought you did not give me a crab.
And I adore you for showing my Rose such special attention. She deserves a bucketful of them--I like the idea of them running all over the beach, spreading love and sunshine everywhere.
Well done Leigh!
Syd
Spotted dick is a steamed pudding which has currants in, hence the spotted (god knows why its called dick tho! haaaaaa)
Ask Syd about spotted dick...he should know!
Syd,
Tell us about spotted dick...
Syd,
If it gets too personal you don't have to tell us about the spotted you know.
Oh Tracy you are so clever!! blue sounds perfect. I wish I were so talented....and despite my recent posts I can't cook either.
Totally talentless I'm afraid ;-)
SueBee
You got woo!
See how well I'm doing with the sharing today. (just the woo, ladies.. nothing more)
Keep it up Gruff keep it up!
I believe the "dick" part of the name comes from the German word "dicht" which means thick. So it is a very thick pudding...
get your mind out of the gutters ladies!
Syd
Tracy- wow someone from the south that doesn't like sweet tea...to each her own.
LJ- since Syd and Gruff never answered my question have you ever seen "Starlight Express"? Bar none it is my favorite play I have ever seen.
C'mon Syd, tell me about your spotted dick experience?
I'm being serious, I'm not in the gutter with that question.
LJ
I will message you when it is finished :)
I'm sorry but how can your mind not go into the gutter after that statement...
Melinda, no I have never seen Starlight Express I'm afraid.
Nor have I ever eaten spotted dick....although I wouldn't rule the prospect out ;-D
@Syd
Nothing says woo like a song about voices in your head! Honestly though, that rocks. I smiled the entire time I read it.
If you're going to listen to a voice in your head, make sure it answers to my name.
(Set it up for Suzie)
I have to find this song now.
Thank you for the shout out. :o)
Melinda
Perhaps it's because I'm not a southerner by birth.. We never had it, so I just never developed a taste for it.
And it's useless to ask me to get my mind out of the gutter. It took a trip in earlier tonight, and it's just stayed there since. I think it's enjoying the other minds that are in the gutter with it too much.
Tracy-
Oh my mind has been there all day. I was reading a fan fic that let's just left little to the imagination.
@ Melinda
I was told about fanfic but have never read it..which one is your favorite?
I can read that the fun continues here...All of you make my day. As for our beloved Rob and Kristen.. I do believe, as many of you. that they do not give a rat's ass as to what some of these crazy fans may be implying. I thought of a few things today that may make some laugh. So the big contoversy is Kristen was wearing Rob's tee shirt
that said "GOMD" horrors right...sounds like to me see could be staking out her territory (you know claiming a bit of ownership of something)(ha,ha)) as if she has to do that. Just a thought. Can't wait until they reconnect.. Will be soon I am sure. I here London is beautiful this time of year
Manjen-
I only read E/B fan fics. I know others who read R/K real life fic and that just creeps me out.
Best ones:
Emancipation Proclamation
The Guardian
Misapprehension of Bella Swan
This is not my life
The Workshop
The one I am currently reading is Stranger than Fiction- it's great so far. It is taken from what happened when Edward left Bella in New Moon and she went on with her life. Of course they meet back up 6 yrs later but Bella is now a woman not a girl so she is a lot different.
Hello everyone!
This is such a great place. Where else would you talk about delicious English cuisine, Fred and Ginger, crabs, adorable new nephews, a coveted STFU hoodie and dicks that are spotted (or striped in Tracy's case)? Rose, thank you for giving us such a wonderful safe haven to support Rob and Kristen and share a few laughs.
Syd,
I heard the same thing on a cooking show about the "dick" in spotted dick coming from the German word for thick. A budding rapper and a culinary expert? I must say you are quite the Renaissance Man.
Oh and manjen- no fade to black in this story. More like scenes from True Blood I'm thinking.
@ Melinda
I'll have to check those out.
Caroline,
Thank you for the nice words. I am being abused by most of the regulars here this evening so I greatly appreciate your kindness and sweetness. Oh my...I know EXACTLY how to woo you if you would ever allow me.
What is R/K real life fanfiction??
Why won't these damn people at my house leave me alone!! Can't they see I'm BUSY!! LOL!!
SueBee, of course you did! Manjen and Melinda too...although Melinda was tricky ;)
So, what have I missed...I need a cliff note version please!
Hey Smitty--call me on a phone that works real quick. I need to talk to you about something.
Smitty,
I did have a chance to read your comment. I must say...LOVE IT!! I don't understand some people. Life is too short for all the shit! Well said ;)
On another note I wish I would have seen that about the auto correct before I wrote Smitty on your crab because I SO would have written Smutty ;) LOL!!
@A/Syd
Hey, I'm nice! I said thank you for the song! :o)
I only have the room one...Leo has the others being reset or something like that and there's no service yet. Wassup rapper man? Are you still out with your GIRLFRIEND??? LOL!
To all my friends:
I am happy to let you all know that we have found our Emilia. She is currently a little shaken up because of the events of the past days but is now safely in the care of very capable people.
I am trying very hard to get her to come home with me for a few days as she wishes but it is very difficult because of all the fucking bureaucracy. Thank you all for showing you care, you don't know how much it means to me.
It is incredible how my mood has changed in the past few hours. I am actually able to breathe and relax.
E.
Thanks for the crab Leigh.
Okay wait, so I know people write fanfiction and come up with different endings for Harry Potter and Twilight...you are saying people do this for real people too. Like they write fictional stories about Kristen and Robert?
Where are these things? I can google them probably.
Sick twisted fuckers!
Hi Caroline *waves*
I wasn't on here last night so didn't get a chance to welcome you :)
Seriously, Smitty, call me really quick. Its important.
Tracy you are a diamond :-D
Ahem.....Syd, I have tried my best to woo you on many an occasion...but never had so much as a *hello*...*wave*...or anything......this makes me sad.
:o(
Yet one compliment on being a renaissance man and you are offering to 'woo' like its going out of fashion....
Is it because I am a fellow Brit? I can do an American accent if it would work for 'y'all'
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
E--
Glad to hear she is safe. I hope you get to take her home and care for her for a bit.
I'm really impressed with what a good person you are to care so much. The world needs more people like you.
Smitty
Hmm.. I'm about to call for a moratorium on the wooing. 0_o
SueBee and Manjen spent a LONG time talking to be about sharing, and not locking people up anymore.. and I'm trying.. I REALLY REALLY am trying... but I see the shed, and ideas are forming.
And oh my gosh.. I'm watching Talladega Nights again.. Shake and Bake! SHAKE and BAKE! w00t! (they're both verbs!)
LJ
Syd is kind of fickle...are you sure you want to be dazzled by him? LOL!
LJ-
I am so sorry if I have neglected you--especially since you are a fellow Brit! Forgive me and when you are ready for a woo please let me know. I will need your actual name though--not your last name--because I don't know any songs about LJ and I wore myself out making up songs yesterday.
CALL ME SMITTY--I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ITS NOT A GOOD IDEA LOVE! Please just call me quickly.
Syd
E
Chat me up! Soon! I tried to txt, but maybe the phone's being difficult still?
T
Smitty-
I believe Penny answered your question. Thus you see why it creeps me out.
As for the E/B fan fic...Penny is right. Def. more rated R than PG-13 as SM wrote it.
Sometimes I do think that the authors put some R/K mannerisms into play as I guess since they are a visual when writing. So far it hasn't bothered me too much.
If I think they are being disrespectful to R/K I won't read it.
That just looks wrong..."Thanks for the crab Leigh" Hehehe!!
Elaine, I'm glad they found your friend. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it works out for you.
I ordered my STFU t-shirt today. I didn't get the hoodie because it's so damn hot down here that I figured I would get more use out of the shirt. I can't wait...I'm going to wear it to my Mother-in-laws house and HOPE she asks me what it means ;)
Smitty-Thanks babe, that really means a lot to me. I had never been so invested in something before and it really has made my life much better.
T-I'll be chatting you up soon, just getting everything settled here.
Okay, for the record, you all know I'm TRYING to act crazy in the hyena chronicles right? I'm in no way trying to make Rob/Kristen fanfiction with my diaries!!!!
Oh Leigh.. perfect! I'm glad you got yourself a STFU shirt. Wear it with pride!
Sometimes people just need it spelled out for 'em, ya know. :)
And I've got shirts from Joe's Crab shack that you might be interested in. hehehe.. There's one that says "Friends buy you dinner.. REAL friends give you crabs"
So I guess that makes you a real friend :)
Penny--no worries, just trying to not give more attention to those types of things.
Sue Bee--your chronicles are charming and hysterical. Do not ever think they are being viewed as anything but good fun!
Syd
Smitty-
Please don't start looking for that crap!!!! That's all it is. Hence why I don't read it. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. You said it best. Dropping the subject now.
Syd- thanks for looking out for her
Leigh- you are a bad woman doing that to your MIL!
Please don't stop the chronicles SueBee! I think they are hilarious...and they seem to have run *whispers* Honey off!!
We know they are in good fun ;)
Hi Leigh *waves back*
Thank you for the welcome. I live on the Gulf Coast and I promise that if I see the Rose, Smitty or Gruff crabs to grant them amnesty from my crab pot and provide them safe passage. However, I might just have to keep the Syd crab from myself. *blushes* I'm a little smitten with his namesake. Also Syd the Crab might just be worth something one day, when our very own Notorious B.R.I.T. makes it big on the rap scene.
Anyone else having trouble with google blog? I keep getting directed out and asked if I want the new google. WTF
Melinda,
You have NO idea! She's CRAZY. Maybe I should get HER a shirt since she says that to us on a weekly basis ;)
@ Tracy
I have a shirt that says “I got my crabs from Dirty Dicks.” The crab joints really like to play on words. LOL
Cate
Hi Everyone!
I see it's been another wild day in Roseland!
Leigh thank you for thinking about me with the crab. I was in Fort Walton in July. When I go back, I will be searching for 007!
SueBee and Manjen have you got any biscuits and honey left?
Smitty Your post earlier today was great! I loved the get a life.
Elaine I'm glad you found the girl. She has a very good person on her side and hope she realizes that.
Syd What can I say? You have me laughing my ass off over your shenanigans. At least, your songs redeem you.
DreamerKind Lovely
Caroline Glad to see you back.
Tracy You are multi talented I continue to bow.
LJ Congratulations on the new edition to your family.
And Rose Thank you for everything
Linda
Elaine-
I am so happy she has been found! What a relief.
SueBee- you better not stop doing the HC! They are epic! I would think that if R/K ever read them they would get a kick out of them for sure.
Ahhh just to have you say my name I am semi dazzled already....ha ha
Well my name is Liza....but there is no need to wear yourself out making up songs for me right now, as I have been an admirer for a while and as I said, I'm already semi dazzled.
I shall just carry on admiring you from afar....and await my woo whenever it comes....
Liza ❤
ps, Tracy my lovely facebook friend...please don't lock me in the shed, I'm only little and I fear I would never be able to escape like the others... :-)
Cate
I love the shirts at Joe's. I've got several..
I've never been to Dirty Dick's though. I'll have to find one and go so I can get a shirt. :)
Smitty...what ya doin'?? Where did you go??
Don't do it Smitty...it's not worth all the aggravation. We like happy Smitty!! We love you!!
* A friend * I just read your post and all I can say is YOU GO GIRL and THANK YOU. YOU truly are a GOOD FRIEND TO HAVE I agree with all that you'v had to say.GROW UP PEOPLE AND START LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE you mite like it.Because Robert and Kristen are LIVING theirs TOGETHER . DEB>
@LJ
I'm a munchkin myself. I had to use my brains to get out of that shed!
LOL
Don't go near it!!!
Bwahahaha @ Caroline!
'Also Syd the Crab might just be worth something one day, when our very own Notorious B.R.I.T. makes it big on the rap scene.'
Wow, Syd...you really DO have your own harem here ;)
LJ- can I call you Liza now? Is it pronounced like the singer Liza Mannelli (not sure if it is spelled right)?
SueBee how could i forget. Survivor Edition great job! I still think the whale swallowing her and spitting her back out is a good idea!
@ Tracy
I had never thought about all the different ways they could go with that until I saw your post. Now I'm a little intrigued about what other's around the country say :D
LJ
Us Aunties have to stick together. I would NEVER lock you in the shed. You get a seat right next to me, SueBee and Manjen :)
I am more than willing to share the groovy energy that emanates from Syd. But everything else, I'm afraid, is off limits. Rose and I have cornered that market. (I'll admit, her share is bigger, but I'm content with my small piece)
Tracy,
I'm heartbroken *sniff* I gave you your very own crab and I don't get a seat?? I have to go to the shed?? *hangs head* I see how it is...
Tracy Did you by chance watch the "Tinky" Titans today? I swear they drive me crazy!
Syd would be doing well to woo our LJ as she is a very beautiful young lady!
Syd,
Did Smitty go over to the dark side? God, I feel so bad if any of us led her to that. Tell her to come back and have fun with us.
Hey Melinda, yes of course you can call me Liza :-)
No it's not pronounced like Ms Minnelli, it's pronounced Leeza...like Lisa but with a Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Tracy, aww thanks for promising to not give me the shed treatment!.....although as I am one of the few here with no husband I think I deserve an extra special bit of wooing if anything....haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Cate
They have another one that says "My waitress gave me crabs"
They're so completely inappropriate, but hilarious.
I need to find the one from Hooters that says "Objects are as large as they appear"
Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined.
;)
Gruff-
If you talk to her please tell her that I never intended to freak anyone out.
Also tell her if I find out she went snooping I just may kick her butt (lovingly of course).
:)
I agree with manjen. Woo LJ. She is very Bee yoo tee ful!
Awwwwww thanks Manjen **hugs**
Oh Leigh! You can sit with us too! You are after all, a real friend! You gave us crabs!!
That pretty much earns you a permanent spot.
*smooches*
Don't worry my friends. All is well and I just needed to ask her a couple questions about something unrelated to wooing or crabs or spotted dick.
Syd
Just speaking the truth LJ..
*Hugs Back*
Ha ha thanks to SueBee too **blushes**
❤
Smitty,
Your post earlier today was perfect. It should be chiseled on to some stone tablets to commemorate it's epicness. Is Gruff good with a chisel and stone? If he has some spare time, maybe he could get to work of the Smutty, oops I mean the "Smitty Commandments". This fandom could really use a dose of your common sense.
Also just a word of advice, real person fan fiction is a bit like the infamous Area 51. Sane people might venture in out of curiosity, but in the end they all come out running for their lives, covered in slime and trying to gouge their eyes out.
Tracy-
Paula Deen has shirt for sale that say "Our hoes are complimentary" (for their free hoecakes). Of course I have one.
Liza- good to know you are not like the nutcase Liza! ha, ha! I am a resident happily unmarried person here as well.
Wildhart
Not much of a football person. Especially not a fan of the Titans.
Didn't even know they were playing today, I have to admit.
My life is all about soccer and track. (which my daughter does) and hockey.
Elaine,
I'm so glad your friend is safe and that she has someone as caring as you in her life.
Syd- thanks...you made me feel better about that. Just want to see her happy.
Tracy So a Predator's fan perhaps.
I think I just like screaming at the TV with the Titans.
I was into the baseball with my son. Gotta support the kids!
Missing Louisa tonite, I guess the time zone difference is keeping her away.
Syd,
Please tell me you are done with your date! If not...she may kick your ass!
Wildhart
Hockey fan.. not necessarily a Preds fan. They're okay, and they'll do when I want to watch live hockey.. but I'm a Rangers fan. Have been for years.
:)
Awww, thanks Tracy! I feel so loved ♥
Syd
Multi tasking?
Hi manjen :)
I'll give you one guess as to why I drank 2 whole bottles of wine myself last night ;) Whew, that was a close one!
@ Tracy: I know totally inappropriate, but so worth the stares from the righteous people out there.
Somebody please tell me that Roses’ dear friend did not go a huntin’???
@ Leigh
I know what you mean..We are going to have to get better or this is not going to be a good season!!
