I don't feel particularly sarcastic today...
It's Tom Sturridge's birthday.
Quite simple, really.
It's pretty obvious
(come on guys)
That I absolutely ADORE Tom.
Absolutely.
So when his birthday rolls around...
Well...
I have to do SOMETHING.
I could put this post into relationship to Robert and Kristen...
Tom's own words about Rob.
"We went to school together, and then we lived together for a bit, so we’ve been friends and more for what feels like our whole lives.
I mean, we are friends. He’s my best friend, and that’s it. He’s like a brother to me, you know? We have the same group of friends, and I’m friends with all of them, not just him.
(pause) I really don’t want to talk about him. It’s just weird, you know? I want to respect his privacy, since he doesn’t have much of it anymore. I mean, I’d do the same for any of my friends."
"When you agree to be interviewed, it's an opportunity to review your own moronic-ness" he says. "It's OK if I come across as a complete idiot, but it's not fair for me to describe or refer to anyone else. Anyone can be tainted by my mention of them".
One of Tom's (many) charms is his loyalty to his friends.
He gets asked a lot about Robert, naturally...
And he never uses his friendship for his own purposes.
You gotta love him.
And of course...
Over the past 3 years
Tom has become good friends with his best friends girl.
He takes care of her.
He shields her.
He steps in when Robert can't be there.
What does Tom say about Kristen?
“It was so terrifying entering into that world and what was great was just having someone that I knew and actually working with her. She's just a fucking extraordinary actress, just really, really extraordinary and it's astonishing just to see her do her job.”
Yeah.
Fucking extraordinary is what I would use to describe Tom.
There honestly isn't anything much better than
seeing Tom smile.
Except maybe laugh.
And seeing Tom smile...
Makes ME smile.
Thomas Sidney Jerome Sturridge.
He is so much more than 'Sienna Millers boyfriend'
or
'Robert Pattinson's best friend'
He can stand on his own.
And he looks beautiful doing so.
Yes.
Beautiful.
Some guys don't like being called beautiful...
But.
Thomas IS beautiful.
Even with all that hair and that beard...
He is classically handsome.
And his voice?
His accent?
Makes me all melty.
And yes... MELTY is a word.
Watch and listen.
Melty.
So what else is there to say?
I hope Tom finds happiness and love
and his day is filled with friends and laughter.
Good people deserve good things.
Tom is good people.
One last thing...
I found this picture today.
Tom with a bunny mask.
As in
Cute.
As a
Bunny.
I love and adore you Thomas Sturridge.
Blow out the candles on your cake
and make a wish...
I hope it comes true.
Final Birthday thoughts?
1. Happy Birthday Tom!
2. Happy Birthday Marcus!
3. Yeah... I know I didn't go into my usual
Robert and Kristen always end up together thing...
But
You KNOW they do.
They will.
They ARE.
4. Do I have a four?
5. I'm THRILLED that Rob and Kristen remain
under the cloak of invisibility.
It makes me GIDDY
I love the thought of Rob and Kristen
finding peace and privacy
and being able to spend their holidays together
the way they want to.
Wouldn't that be lovely?
6. Happy Birthday Tom!!
7. I don't seem to have a seven either.
8. It's almost Christmas!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
no matter how you choose to spend your time.
9. Nope... Nothing.
10. This post is brought to you by bunnies and balloons
and birthdays.
and 367 Green Sheep.
Forever.
Happy Birthday Dear Thomas...
Happy Birthday to you.
Bye for now
