I'm not sure why I put that smiley there.
He's backpedaling.
Something that happens a lot in this fandom.
But has no real relevance in this post.
At least today.
To be honest...
I'm not sure why I'm even writing at all today.
I feel a bit shitty.
You know how it is when you wake up with a headache.
And if you don't... I hate your guts.
And your pain-free brain.
I shouldn't be complaining...
I'm going 'up North' for the 4th of July.
Yes.
That is the view from our deck.
Kinda nice... right?
And yet...
Here I sit all crabby and grouchy.
Maybe because I'm a major procrastinator...
Oh hell.
I'm the fucking QUEEN of waiting until the last minute.
But its so damn hot out.
And I have so much shit to do.
And I have family and friends to coordinate...
And I'm just going to be a whiny bitch all day.
Sorry.
ANYWAY.
Let's talk about something pleasant.
Or let's not.
Since I'm feeling particularly bitchy
Let's talk about PET PEEVES... shall we?
Pet Peeve: a particular and often continual annoyance; personal bugbear:
a major or principal annoyance or complaint.
Yeah. I got a lot of those.
1. The word 'sheep' to describe people
who believe that Rob/Kristen are together.
Most people I know who are on the side of love and truth...
Don't need anyone to tell us what to think.
We came to that conclusion based on logic and fact.
Although I do agree there are a lot of sheep on both sides of this fandom...
It is misused most of the time.
Generalizations seldom tell the whole story.
It's kinda like hyena.
While there are plenty of the scavengers roaming
the halls looking for trouble...
It's not a blanket term.
It doesn't cover everyone.
Generalizations annoy me.
2. People who say Rob and Kristen are dating.
Rob and Kristen aren't "dating".
Sorry.
And before you write me an all caps SHOUTY email...
It's because I believe they are way beyond dating.
Way.
Beyond.
These two people don't just see each other on dates.
They fucking LIVE together.
They are in a loving, deeply committed relationship.
They are over and above the 'dinner and a movie' phase.
That's so 2009.
Robert and Kristen have been doing this for years now.
Years.
They share everything.
Homes, clothes... a dog.
Dating?
Please.
The only thing missing is that legal document...
Not that it really matters since they are married
in every way possible anyway.
3. People who believe something about me
that someone else told them.
Without ever talking to me... or knowing me.
It's like a game of telephone.
"Rose is really very nice"
"Rose hates rice? Why? I love rice!"
"Rose has lice? Disgusting! I knew she was gross!"
"Rose likes to roll the dice?
She's probably has a gambling addiction!"
"Rose is afraid of mice?
She's pathetic!"
You see where I'm going here?
Someone says something about something that
I supposedly said about something and then starts
taking the something I said and making it into
a completely different something...
That has no resemblance to the something
I originally was talking about.
Good.
I'm glad we got that settled.
4. I have a personal bugbear (oh I like that word now)
with people who think that Rob and Kristen
are like these perfect stepford celebrities.
They're not.
And really... would you really want them to be?
(B-O-R-I-N-G)
I love and adore Rob and Kristen.
I do.
I love them like I love the Beatles...
or how I love chocolate chip ice cream.
It's a fondness... an affection
They make me smile.
But I'm not IN love with them.
I'll let them deal with that part of it.
But my point is...
and I know I have a point here somewhere...
...
...
Oh yeah.
My point is I don't have to be enamored with
everything Rob and Kristen do and/or say.
For instance...
Rob hanging out with Justin Beiber.
Not gonna lie...
My first thought was... WHAT?
WHO?
And ended with WHY?
Or Kristen flipping off people.
I get it.
She will always do it.
She has every right to be pissed off
at those assholes.
And I don't blame her for her reaction.
But it just gives the Fringe
something to chew on...
You know?
I know I'm protective of Rob and Kristen...
And I'm not sure I even understand why.
But I hate that people take simple innocent things that they do
and twist them and use it as excuses to hate on them.
5. Rob and Kristen are an EPIC romance.
Really?
I kinda hate that word...
EPIC.
Do they love each other?
Of course they do.
But after all...
They are still just two people
who fell in love.
Let's leave the Epic up to them to decide...
OK?
6. People underestimate Tom Sturridge.
Not only is he classically handsome.
Smoldering blue eyes.
Lopsided smile that lights up his face.
And a voice that only adds to the heat of the day.
But one of my major pet peeves is when
people talk about Tom only in connection to someone else.
"Robert Pattinson's best friend..."
"Sienna Miller's boyfriend..."
"Kristen Stewart's co-star..."
See what I mean?
Tom doesn't need to lean on anyone.
Watch his movies.
He's really quite talented.
There is a vulnerable intensity about him.
He can be both sweet and menacing
with equal measure.
And he can look good doing it.
I guess...
I just wish people could see what I see.
This post is brought to you by bugbears.
I consider myself a bit of a wordsmith...
But I had to look up that one.
1. any source, real or imaginary, of needless fright or fear.
2. a persistent problem or source of annoyance.
3. Folklore . a goblin that eats up naughty children.
I'm starting to think that maybe we found
the true meaning of the Lunatic Fringe.
The fandom BugBears.
Final thought?
Nah.
I said enough for today.
I miss you Syd, Smitty and Gruff.
And Bart...
I absolutely adore you.
Until next time.
Bye for now
that someone else told them.
