Once Bitten... Twice Shy

In what seems like a very long time ago

Approximately 7 years
 Which I guess is ancient in 'fandom' time...

I used to write the same thing in my online bios

"I love Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Together or apart.

(Hopefully together)"

Here's the thing...

That really hasn't changed.

(Except the hopefully part)

I still like BOTH Rob and Kristen.

Together or apart.

You don't have to...

I don't care if you like them or not.

That's cool.

But I do.

Sorry.

And I'm not even sure why I'm apologizing for it.

But there is such hostility attached to 

"Fans of both"

It's ridiculous.
Like I have to pick a side.

Like its a competition.

I don't NEED (or even want for that matter)
Rob and Kristen to be together

in order to like them.

I never have.

And I can say with all honesty

that since I enjoyed every fucking minute

of Rob and Kristen being together...

(ALL of it. No REGRETS. None.)

I'm actually perfectly happy with the fact

 that they aren't together anymore.

Why?

Because life goes on...

And have you SEEN Kristen lately?

She looks so fucking happy and gorgeous

and beautiful and relaxed and stunning

and and and

ETHEREALLY EXQUISITELY BREATHTAKING.

Kristen is on FIRE

(Pun intended)
and I love it.
I love her.
And I love that it fucking burns all the people
who thought she would fade away
never to be seen or heard from again.

There was much ado about the interview
that went along with these gorgeous pictures.
Kristen...
Being Kristen
was very candid and honest.
But the quote that seemed to get the most attention?

"I lit my universe on fire," she admits 
 "and I watched it burn."

Of course
A lot of people assumed she was talking about
what happened 3 years ago.
And maybe she was.
And maybe her whole fucking world did go up in flames.
And maybe she got burned in the process...

"The public kind of burned me at the stake. 
But that's OK, I can take it. 

I'm not dead."

And maybe she learned from it.
Grew stronger.
Smarter.
Better.

"I've lived hard for a young person.

And I've done that to myself--

But I've come out on the other end

Not hardened... But strong."

Isn't that the point?
Isn't that what you want to do
when you make mistakes in life...
Learn from them? Move on? Do better?
Isn't Kristen allowed to do that?

What constitutes a Rob "fan"?

I have to ask because I often get people 

(The same ones who police my tweets-- go figure)

telling me that I'm not his fan anymore.

Is it determined on how much you tweet about him?

Is there a daily quota you are expected to reach?

Or is it how much you flail and squee over his girlfriend?

Do your ovaries have to burst on a weekly basis?

Maybe it has to do with how much you feel the need 

to defend him by pointless arguing on Twitter

Or trolling the gossip sites comment sections

and spending endless hours attacking anyone
who doesn't see Rob quite like you do?

No. Fuck. Jesus.

I'm interested in Rob's career.

I don't care about his relationship with Twigs.
I'm looking forward to "LIFE" coming out.
I'm glad he signed on to "Good Time"
and will be working on LCOZ soon...
(forgive me for being wary until he's actually on set-

But once bitten... Twice shy)
I want to see him in a movie.
Or on a talk show...
Or a photo shoot in a magazine.
I go to his movies. I buy the DVDs.
I talk about him if there is something
interesting going on...
That's what a fan does.
That's what I do.

So get off my dick.

This post is brought to you by 

"Same shit... Different day."

For years fans of Rob and Kristen

had to deal with the Lunatic Nonstens

Screaming "PR" every time a picture came out of

Rob and Kristen together.

They tried to disprove their relationship

claiming the pics were fake... Or staged...

And tried to convince people that it was all just

part of their contract... A job.

All the while they wasted no time trashing and insulting

Kristen every chance they got.

Sound familiar?

Now we have the Lunatic Baby Brigade.

Same song. Same dance.

They scream "PR" every time a picture of

Rob and Twigs come out...

Claiming the pics are old, fake or staged.

They try to convince people that it's all part of a contract

That its just a job.

All the while they continuously trash and insult 

Twigs every chance they get.

A bullshit conspiracy

Based on lies and delusion.

Until next time

Bye for now
