Twas the day before Thanksgiving...
And I realized that most of the world
doesn't celebrate the holiday.
But it is a good time to reflect on what you
are thankful for in your life...
Of course I'm thankful for family... friends
But since this is a Pattinson blog...
(Yeah... it really is)
I thought I could maybe relate my thankfulness
in terms of Robert.
1. I'm thankful for this picture.
This is in my top 3 all time favorite pictures of Robert.
I love everything about it.
The cigarette
The drink
What he's wearing
The look on his face
His hair
Where he's sitting
The background
And the fact that it's black and white.
Thanks Rob.
2. I'm thankful for EW and their outtakes.
Wait.
I'm thankful for all of the outtakes
I have seen through the years.
They are usually better than what gets into the magazine.
But I'm especially thankful to EW
because they love Robert and Kristen
and never hesitate to put them on a cover...
3. I"m thankful that Rob and Kristen
always take such adorable pictures together.
I think the EW article said they were
affectionately teasing each other.
I know some people focus on what Kristen says
and say she insults Rob...
But I'm thinking Rob gives as good as he gets.
To be able to goof around and have fun with each other
and show a sense of humor...
No matter the situation
is an important part of a relationship.
4. I'm thankful for pensive profile pictures of Robert.
In black and white.
You may have noticed I have a thing for black and white pics.
I do.
Always have.
I think it's because they seem so real...
Like you can see everything clearly.
I love Robert in profile.
And that he always seems to be thinking.
5. I'm thankful for being able to see
Rob and Tom laugh when they are together.
I absolutely ADORE their friendship.
After all these years..
and Rob's immense fame
They remain loyal friends.
I'm thankful they have each other.
6. I'm thankful for Tom Sturridge.
I guess I should be thanking Rob for introducing me to Tom...
But I think I would have found him anyway.
I'm thankful for Tom's piercing blue eyes.
His soft wavy hair.
The way he holds his cigarette...
And all the silly 'jumpers' that he wears.
I'm thankful for his beard
And most of all...
I'm thankful for his voice.
It melts me.
Just thinking about it makes me a bit swoony.
Thanks Tom.
7. I'm thankful for the Twilight/Rob/Kristen fandom
for being endlessly entertaining.
You've got your Stir Potters
(I know its pot stirrers... but I like mine better)
You got your Soap Box fans
who think their way is the only way.
You got your Needy "Robstens"
Who fret over every detail
You got your lunatic fringe
who make drama out of nothing
and hate for the sake of hating.
You got your "above it alls"
Who act like they're above the drama
While in fact gossip and trash talk behind your back.
You got your insiders
and sources
and hackers and thieves.
You got your believers and your haters
and your candlestick makers.
Well.
You know what I mean.
I'm thankful for it all...
Because you make me laugh every damn day.
(And if you're wondering... I would put myself
into the believer stir potter category... just for fun)
8. I'm thankful for Nana Rose.
Yes.
She really exists...and no
it's not me.
She's my Italian grandmother...
Who I am named after
And became "Nana" Rose
because my cousins couldn't say Nonna.
I love her... so much.
She is strength. Determination.
Love. Passion.
I can only hope to be like her one day.
I can only hope to be like her one day.
9. I'm thankful that Robert and Kristen
have managed for the most part
to stay out of the public eye.
Yeah... we've gotten a few pics of them
coming back to THEIR place.
(and oh how that has silenced the pack)
But they have flown under the radar.
And I couldn't be happier.
We don't need pictures anymore.
Not like that.
Robert has given us day after day of smiling
and answering the same inane questions
And he signed all those pictures people shoved in front of him
and he gladly smiled for the camera
Sometimes taking the picture himself...
(and remember... he doesn't like having his picture taken)
He endured the screaming
The tugging
The grabbing
He did that all for us.
So now...
Can't we do this for him?
Can't we let him be?
Leave him and Kristen alone.
Let them enjoy their peace and quiet
Let them enjoy each other.
We know they are together.
We don't need pictures every day to prove it.
There is nothing left to prove.
10. I'm thankful for Breaking Dawn.
I love this movie.
I've seen it twice.
And it's not enough.
I love Bella walking down the aisle all nervous
and not knowing if she can do it...
And then how her face lights up when she sees
Edward waiting there for her.
And then the song...
The prom song...
THEIR song comes on.
And you are taken back to Twilight
and all those good happy memories.
I'm thankful that Robert looks wonderful in this movie
Because I had my doubts looking at the movie posters.
I'm thankful that Rob and Kristen have such incredible chemistry
and that they shared their glorious connection
in real life...
With the people sitting in the darkened theater.
I'm thankful that Rob and Kristen did blur the lines
every now and then.
Because loving someone in real life always shows on screen.
It can't be helped.
And most of all...
Even though I have to wait a year to see vampire Bella...
I'm thankful that there is still one more
movie to look forward to.
This post is brought to you by Thanks.
And most of all...
In all the world and beyond...
I am most thankful for my 2 incredible boys.
They are the best part of my life.
The best part of me.
"These are the children God has given me.
He has been good to me."
Bye for now
