October 20, 2008

It's been 6 years.

Six.

To be honest...

I kinda forgot about the day I started this blog.

It was Oct 20, 2008

In the beginning...

My posts were all about 

Robert and Edward.

Yes. Edward.

This was before Twilight even came out.

I was completely intoxicated with

Edward Cullen.

A book character.

Something that had never happened

to me before

And then...

the intoxication led me to Rob.

And then I became completely 

enamored with an actor.

NEVER

EVER

has that happened to me

before or since.

I didn't get it.

I was bamboozled
Permuddled

Confuzzuled

(how Dr.Seuss of me)

I couldn't wrap my head around

the fact that I was so infatuated

with this character

and the man who played him.

So I started this blog.

6 years ago.

Trying to figure out why.

I never really found my answer.

But I learned a lot.

About people.

About fandoms.

About Robert.

About Kristen.

About Robert and Kristen.

I saw early on that there was 

something happening between them.

By October 28th 
Just 8 days later...

I was already posting about their

on and offline chemistry.

From a post on Oct 28, 2008

"I wanted to talk about chemistry. 

As in on screen chemistry.

 As in Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. 

They have it. And better yet, they have it off screen as well.

 I think it is so obvious that there was 

a little sumthin sumthin going on between these two...

beyond Edward and Bella.

 I have watched all the videos of the two of them...

and they are just so INTIMATE with each other. 

The way they look at one another...

the way Kristen touches Roberts face 

(and that, my friends, is intimate), 

the way they couldn't keep their eyes off

 of each other at Comic Con...

their body language on and off screen. 

But especially off screen,

 because they are always touching...always close.

Now, I know that they are supposed 

to be dating other people or whatever.

 But there is definitely something there.

 I don't care what anyone says.

 And if they get right back into making "New Moon"

 (oh please Lord)

 they will get right back into their chemistry."

Yeah.
So... it really wasn't about 'shipping' for me.
(Never really has been.)
And it most certainly had nothing to do
with me confusing Edward and Bella
with Rob and Kristen.
It was just... Sweet.
Seeing these two people
falling in love with each other
from the beginning...

I found that the more I got to know Kristen
The more I liked Kristen.

It was fun watching them interact with each other
Look at each other
Try not to look at each other
Touch each other
Try not to touch each other.
It was fascinating
and oh so lovely.

I can't tell you how many times
I watched this Empire video back in the day...
They completely intrigued me.
(and yeah, not sure why)
Every moment they are together
you see the magnetic pull
Sometimes they try to fight it
But watch at the end...
Kristen looks quickly at Rob
Rob responds
without even looking at her.
Completely Connected.
That's the kinda stuff I mean.
(And can I just say...
how fucking cute is Rob in this video?
It makes me sooo nostalgic
for these early days *sigh*)

That was then. 
This is now.

 6 years.
 And I've always been behind
Rob and Kristen.
Always.
Even 2 years ago
when things became... difficult
I never turned my back on them.

And I'm not doing that now.
Some people confuse
logic and honesty
for not 'believing' in Rob and Kristen.
I will always believe in them.

But now if you don't think
Rob and Kristen are married and together
You are labeled a 'hater'
Seriously?
I see things as they are.
I don't necessarily LIKE what I see right now...
But I'm not going to pretend I don't see it.

I would love to frolic in 3D Land with you
1-Delusional
2-Desperate
3-Denial

But I don't like it there.
Nothing makes sense in that land
It's actually rather creepy.
Some people are scary.
Up is down
In is out
Under is over
babies are invisible
love is based on hoodies and lies
and cousins- oh my!
There are conspiracies everywhere...
3D land gives me a headache.
It makes me nauseous.
No thanks.

But I'm still here.
I still adore BOTH Rob and Kristen.
I'm still interested in what they do
and what they have to say.
And I will always
Always
Have hope that they will find their way
back together again.
Because yes...
Love is fucking LONG.

So let's talk about
Nicholas Hoult.
(again)

If you mention his name
in the same sentence as Kristen
you are SHIPPING them together!
Good fucking grief.

1. I will never ship another couple again.
Ever.

2. I happen to like Nicholas Hoult. 
If I want to talk about him.
I will.
I think he's cute.
I love his voice.
I don't see why that's a bad thing... You know?



If he hangs out with Kristen...
Lucky him.
And if he doesn't?
I still will think he's cute
and I still will talk about him.

3. I will never ship another couple.
Ever.
Ever.

4. I will never ship another couple.
Ever.
Ever.
Ever.

5. You get the point right?
I don't need 4-Evers
Do I?

So yeah.

6 years.

72 months 

312 weeks

2190 days

That I have been in
Rob and Kristen's corner.
Happy for them.
Defending them.
Adoring them.

So don't fucking tell me
that I'm not anywhere
but HERE.
Where I have been from the beginning.
Where I will probably always be.


Happy Anniversary RPI

I can't wait to see
what's around the next corner.

6 members of the BritPack

And isn't it great that these guys
are still such good friends?
Doesn't that make you smile?

6 years
of loving 
and
watching
two
endlessly 
fascinating 
people.

6 years
of finding
out
all about
Tom Sturridge
and 
loving
every moment.

6 years
and 6 random pictures
(out of so so many)
(how does one choose??)
of Rob walking...

Still intoxicating
after all these years.

Until next time.

Bye for now.

Happy Halloween!
