Rob and Kristen-- Remember When?

You may or may not have noticed...

that I've been feeling particularly nostalgic lately.

Digging up old posts.

Old pics.

Watching old videos...

Missing how Twilight used to make me feel.

Remember when Rob and Kristen did the MTV

Twilight Tuesday interviews?

That was the beginning...

The looks.

(The start of the "Robsten" bubble)

The intimate way they touched each other.

(Yeah, she picked something off his mouth... Pretty damn intimate)

The knowing smiles.

We pretty much saw them fall in love.

And so what happened the other day?

To pile on to my already wistful mood?

This comes out.

Breaking Dawn 2 pics in EW.

And this really affected me.

Maybe because I was already all sappy and mushy...

But seeing Edward and Bella again

Well.

It made me happy.

It made me excited.

It made me realize that no matter that

those books will never win a Pulitzer Prize

and those movies will never get critical acclaim...

I don't care.

I LOVE THEM.

And I will miss them when they are done....

and we don't have any more movies to look forward to.

How can any fan of Robert and Kristen NOT love these movies?

We actually got to watch these two people fall for each other.

And wasn't it lovely to see?

Didn't it make you go...

Awwww

You could tell with each passing interview...

and subsequent photo-shoot

that they were ...

Dare I say it?

Falling in love for the last time.

And no...

I never 'shipped' Robert and Kristen in their real lives

But when it became so obviously apparent 

that they were in it for the long haul

How could I not cheer for them?

How could I not love seeing how happy they made each other?

How could anyone not adore watching them in love?

So yeah...

It's almost like when your little one goes to Kindergarten.

You watch them grow up

You love and adore them

You smile and laugh with them...

But one day

One day you know you will have to drop them off 

and watch them walk into that door

without you.

You have to let them go.

So goes Edward and Bella.

They are all grown up now.

We get one more movie.

One more round of interviews

and magazine covers and promo and red carpets...

And lots of after parties!

Hopefully like this...

And NO that

NEVER GETS OLD!

NEVER
EVER
I WILL FOREVER USE THESE PICS

TO CELEBRATE HOW ADORABLE THEY ARE TOGETHER.

OK.

Sorry about the caps lock ranty thing.

I'm better.

Maybe.

Final thoughts?

It's bittersweet to think of the whole Twilight saga

being almost over with.

But it has been pretty damn sweet for the most part... hasn't it?

It brought together Rob and Kristen

and this whole fandom...

And we have Rob and Kristen spreading their wings

and doing other exciting projects

And really...

Just because the movies are over

We all know Rob and Kristen are happily together.

So while it is bittersweet...

I think I will stick with the sweet

and leave the bitter to those who can't

be happy for 2 people who just happen to love each other.

This post is brought to you by the letter *S*

S for

Thomas Sturridge

I saw this picture and it made me wonder...

Has Tom given up smoking too?

I mean... with a baby on the way and everything

It's a possibility, isn't it?

Isn't he adorable?

Yes.

Yes he is.

And S for

Shades

The future is so fucking bright...

You're going to need them.

Until next time.

Bye for now

Rob and Kristen- 10 Good Things.

One look says it all...

There is a lot of negativity out there in this fandom.

I know... I sometimes promote it.

Hey... What can I say?

I'm a cynic by nature.

I see some of the bullshit... I respond to it.

So sometimes it's better if I just post without reading

my email/DMs/Twitter/Blog first.

So...

I decided to try and write about the 10 things

I love about this fandom...
The movies... the books... the people.

OK... OK...

10 might be a stretch

(See? Cynicism)

But there really have been GOOD things

to come out of all this.

There really has.

And btw...

Before I get started.

You DID note my being a cynic... right?

And me...

Who doesn't believe anything at face value

Who doesn't trust easily

Who has doubts on the best of intentions

Has no trouble believing in 

Rob and Kristen.

Imagine that.

OK.

10 Things I Love About Twilight

And its Fandom

(in no particular order)

This is as close to Edward as I am ever going to get...

1. Edward.

Funny thing is...

Over the course of the last 3 years

(Yes, it's been 3 years and I'm still here!)

I've forgotten about my love for Edward.

I mean... he started this all.

I know the Twilight books get a lot of shit...

And OK... they aren't classic masterpieces.

But they were enjoyable to read

and they had Edward.

You gotta give Stephenie Meyers credit for that.

I was completely fascinated by Edward.

And I had a version of him in my head...

And when I saw the above picture of Rob?

I knew everything was going to be OK.

This is why Twilight remains my favorite of the movies

(Thus far)

Because it gave me my Edward...

and with Edward came Robert Pattinson.

Hello Edward!

I can admit it.

I STILL get chills when I see this scene.

Edward strolling into the cafeteria...

Looking all beautiful and complex.

It was the first time I got to see my Edward

up close...

and outside of my head.

I wasn't disappointed.

Why so gorgeous Robert?

2. Shit... I'm only on 2???

OK.

So Edward leads us to Robert.

And oh what a joyous wonderful trip it has been!

Robert Pattinson.

Whom I briefly recalled as the beautiful boy from Harry Potter...

Crashed into my head...

and my heart

with every new picture I saw...

with every adorable, charming

completely mesmerizing word he uttered.

And it never seemed to have an end...

Because with every interview

I found something else to love 

about this modest, witty and adorkable man.

And he still has that effect on me

Even now.

And that brings us to...

Big green eyes and they're as wide as the moon.

3. Kristen.

Well.

Twilight led me to Kristen as well.

And OK...

At first I was a bit envious of her close proximity

to Robert Pattinson.

I didn't know much about her

But as time went along

I saw a lot of things I liked.

First of all...

She's naturally beautiful

She's shy and awkward in public

(Although she is proving to have conquered that recently)

She's not a girly girl..

who is overly concerned with her hair and makeup

She dresses for comfort rather than style...

and yet has a unique style all her own.

She's immensely dedicated to the characters she portrays on screen...

and puts a piece of herself in every one...

which makes her vulnerable.

She's quirky and funny

and she swears as naturally as breathing.

She's honest and doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Best of all?

She makes Robert happy.

Well it's obviously a mutual thing

seeing as they both are beautifully happy

and full of smiles and laughter

when they are together.

And yes.

I find myself kinda protective of her.

I think a lot of the shit that gets thrown at her 

on a daily basis 

is undeserved and based on jealousy and hatred.

Both wasted emotions.

So I choose to focus on the love and happiness

That I see between her and Robert.

Twirling > Foaming

Those eyes...

4. Thomas Sturridge.

Well... Robert led me to Tom.

I didn't know who he was at first either.

But I kept seeing him...

Kinda in the background where Rob was.

All beardY and lurkY.

And the pictures that came out of Rob and Tom together

always showed two guys who were really great friends.

How can you NOT love that?

Tom goes out of his way not to discuss his friend.

Tom is loyal.

Tom is true.

Tom is Rob's best friend for a reason.

But lets get past Rob for a minute.

Let's look at Tom on his own... OK?

Handsome?

Yes.

I mean... sometimes I think you have to have 

piercing eyes and a great jawline

to even be a member of the "Brit Pack"

But Tom is more than gorgeous...

Have you watched some of his movies?

I'm particularly fond of Pirate Radio.

He's funny and sweet and sexy

and his accent?

I stand by my opinion that Tom's accent

trumps Rob's.

It just does.

Listening to him talk makes me meltY...

and swoonY

and any other word I can randomly attach a Y to.

I adore Tom Sturridge.

3 amigos

How can you look at this picture...

and NOT smile?

Rob and Tom.

Laughing and walking.

Being friends.

Loyalty and Friendship mean a lot.

Triangle of heaven?

5. Halfway there!!

WooHoo!

OK.

So...

Being in this Twilight fandom...

has also made me aware of the above...

ROBERT

WALKING.

Yes.

I know you are all aware of my penchant 

for the man in motion.

Maybe it started when he strolled thru the cafeteria 

in Twilight?

Interesting thought.

Sexy Strut.

Then seeing Rob stroll across the parking lot in New Moon?

Um.

SwoonY

MeltY 

Again.

Yes.

I can thank Twilight

(and Catherine Hardwick, I suppose)

for exposing me to my 

Robert Pattinson Walking Addiction.

But guess what?

I'm not complaining.

Nope.

Not me.

Never.

Rob. Piano. Died.

7. Robert.

Piano.

Music.

Again...

I must thank Catherine Hardwicke for bringing this to the screen.

She cast Robert.

She introduced him by walking into the cafeteria...

AND 

she not only had him play piano in Twilight

but she put a couple of his songs on the soundtrack.

I mean...

Music is important to Edward...

And the imagery of Robert at the piano?

Yeah.

You get it.

I know you do.

So thanks to this...

I'm a huge fan of Rob and his music.

Have you really listened to him play guitar?

It breaks my heart.

I hoping if he has time off that he gets a chance

to explore his musical side...

Perhaps write some (love) songs

and work on a CD?

Heaven.

Puppies are adorkable.

8. Bear

Bear is a positive...

He was in a shelter.

Rob and Kristen

(You know it's true)

rescued his adorable floppy eared self.

Rob says where his dog is... is home.

And since it's their dog...

I guess Kristen is home.

And one small thing...

I have a German Shepherd

(which Bear is part mixed with)

And when I got Kaia...

She was almost completely black

and had floppy ears...

Now?

She is Tan/Black

and her ears are straight up..

Don't mess with her...

That's what happens with puppies.

They grow...
They change...

Their ears sometimes stop being floppy.

Amazing.

As long as they only have ONE personality... I'm OK.

9. Twilight led me to Robert...

And Robert led me here.

3 years ago the forums and blogs about Robert

weren't as plentiful as they are now.

And I found myself commenting at one in particular

more and more often.

ROBsessed was my first taste of what this community

could really offer.

I found women there... who shared my love of Rob

and Twilight.

We could laugh and chat

and knowing they were there...

Sharing my thoughts and feelings...

Made it better for me.

Made me feel OK.

Made me feel like I wasn't completely insane

for crushing on this actor.

I made some good friends there...

And I still love them to this day.

Rob also led me to Twitter.

Twitter is where I go to have a laugh

(and my lord, there are plenty to be found there)

To hang out with like minded people...

Again... I've made some good buddies on Twitter...

People I truly consider friends.

Twitter is also a great place to get 

UP TO THE MINUTE news on Rob/Kristen/Tom

and anything else you might have an interest in.

Yes.

I know that a lot of stuff you see on Twitter

needs huge amounts of salt

And you really need a good sense of humor

to plow through the daily bullshit and drama.
But good people.

Good times.

A few laughs...

and knowing its not serious stuff.

It's fucking Twitter.

10. Vampires.

So what if I liked vampires before Twilight?

I've always kinda had a thing for them.

Goes back to "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King

(Good book...you should read it)

I'm kinda fascinated by them.

When I first heard about Twilight 

the thing that actually made me buy the books

were that they were about vampires.

So can we thank Twilight for

Vampire Diaries?

True Blood?

Probably not...

I think those were books before Twilight...

and obviously vampires have been around for a long time.

But the look of Vampire Diaries?

That is ALL Twilight

(and more Edward)

And I love both Vampire Diaries

and True Blood...

And sometimes I wonder if those shows would

have been even made if not for the phenomenon

(Damn I can hear Oprah saying that word)

that was Twilight.

Yes?

No?

Maybe so?

It doesn't really matter.

When I don't have Edward to watch...

I can watch Damon and Stephen

or Eric

Now THAT'S a werewolf!

or Alcide

(OK, Alcide is a werewolf... but HOT DAMN

The lyrics...

"Whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man"

Just pops into my head.)

So there you have it.

10 Good things that Twilight brought me.

And my next post?

1 million shitty things about Twilight.

I will try to cut it down by the time I actually post it.

;)

This post is brought to you by the sheep that is green.

Long live the sheep.

May it always be green.

Forever.

Bye for now

Wine, Popcorn and Robert Pattinson.

Let's all go to the lobby
Let's all go to the lobby
Let's all go to the lobby
To get ourselves a treat.

Got your popcorn?

A nice big glass of...

Well

Depending on what time of day

I guess it could be soda

or wine

or beer

or wine

Wine and Popcorn?

Oh hell...

Wine goes good with anything.

Or nothing.

Who needs popcorn?

I've decided to talk about Robert's movies today.

Since he's not giving me much else to discuss.

I mean..

How many times do I have to say 

Robert and Kristen are in love?

Exactly.

So since first and foremost I am an 

Intoxicated Robert Pattinson fan...

I thought I would go through his movies.

And I'm not counting "Vanity Fair"

Because his scenes were cut.

But he looks absolutely gorgeous in the scenes

that didn't make it to the movie.

OK.

2004: Curse of the Ring, aka "Ring of the Nibelungs" 

Um. Yeah.

Not Rob's best look... but still smiling that smile.

I've only seen bits and pieces of this movie.

If Rob's voice hadn't been overdubbed

(Who the fuck replaces THAT voice?)

I would have added it to my Rob collection.

Rob has a small role...

and it's kinda a "Lord of the Ring" kinda thing

My favorite memory of the movie?

When Rob was on Leno with Heidi Klum

And he shyly looked over to her...

pulling his fingers through his hair...

And mentioned he was in a German movie.

SO CUTE!

That interview remains one of my all time favorites to this day.

That's all I got to say about this one.
How many wine drinkers out of 5?

Two.
And that's only because Rob is in it.

2005: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Cedric Diggory.

Can he be any more handsome?

Gotta love Harry Potter movies.

At least I do.

And I will admit that even though I thought

the actor who played Cedric in the movie

was incredibly handsome and sweet...

I guess the thought that he was a teenager

immediately negated him from being on my radar at all.

(Yeah, Rose... Cuz being 21 is SO much better!)

I love this movie.

I love Rob in this movie.

The handsome hero.

Well, I guess Harry is the hero...

But Cedric really outshines Harry in this movie

In every way.

And I love Dan Radcliffe... I do.

But he should make it a rule to never stand

next to Robert Pattinson again.

Ever.

Five drunken fools.
Because it's Harry Potter.
It's a good movie.
Rob looks absolutely gorgeous in it.
And even though the end is a bit sad
(Yeah, Cedric bites the dust)
One of the better Potter movies...
OK, I'm being prejudiced.
So what.

2006: The Haunted Airman

 

Ahh... The story of Toby Jugg.

Rather depressing movie.

Depressing color.

Depressing setting.

Depressing story.

But Robert?

Ever so beautiful!

And it is a creepy kinda movie...

But I liked it.

And everyone remembers those little clips of Rob

smoking his cigarette... deep in thought.

*swoon*

Rob's character has an affair with his 'aunt'.

Bitch.

(Hahahaha... I'm only kidding. I think.)

Seriously.

She puts her hand in his hair...

More than ONCE.

I hate her for that alone.

(Truly... I'm kidding I don't hate her. Much.)

But that all aside...

My favorite bit of the movie...

is when Toby is lying on the ground when he first

gets to this depressing rehab place thingy.

And he says something like

(I can't find the exact quote at the moment)

"Here's where we come to meet

the end of the world"

That's close enough.

Three drunken sots.

Rob is gloriously gorgeous.

2007: The Bad Mother’s Handbook

 

Oh sweet Daniel.

Quite possibly my favorite of Robert's pre-Twilight movies.

And hes not even a main character

Sweet story.

Very cute.

Robert is just plain ADORABLE.

I loved this movie.

I love Robert.

 

Four Pissed Twits

2008: The Summer House

 

I will admit to not seeing this in its entirety.

But damn... what I have seen is incredibly sexy.

It doesn't even kinda look like Robert.

Weird.

What gets to me is this...

Talulah Riley.

I think I might just hate her.

(Yes, I'm being facetious)

Because not only did she get to do this movie

with a deliciously handsome (heh) Robert...

But she also plays the fair Marianne in "Pirate Radio"

and gets to KISS Tom Sturridge.

What's up with THAT??

How is that even remotely fair?

Tell me!

3 Blitzed Boozers.

2008: How to Be

 

Art.

Art imitating Rob.

I've always felt that Art was kinda how Rob really is.

You know what I mean.

Adorkable.

Awkward.

Art.

I loved this movie.

Rob is completely charming.

It's a cute story.

AND

he plays guitar and sings

albeit not like Rob would sing.
But still cool all the same.

4 inebriated lushes.

 

2008: Little Ashes

Rob is phenomenal in this movie.

He proves how serious he is about acting.

He takes risks.

But it wasn't my favorite movie.

Maybe its just because of Dali.

I don't know.

But I do appreciate Robert in this.

And its a beautiful movie, too...

So...

Three Boozy Bozos

 

2008: Twilight

What can I say?

This movie gave me an Edward that I could see...

That I could hear...

Robert Pattinson is the closest to Edward this world will ever see.

I was so taken with this movie when it first came out.

I couldn't get ENOUGH of it.

Rob strutting into the cafeteria?

Yes.

Top 5 best scenes EVER.

Love this movie.

Love Robert.

Love everything.

Robert became Edward.

Robert met Kristen.

Need I say more?

 

5 Stewed Guzzlers 

2009: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

 

More Edward.

Nothing wrong with that!

Of course I loved this movie...

Not as much as Twilight

Because Rob wasn't in it as much...

and less Rob

is less fun.

But still.

Edward.

Bella.

Kissing.
And.

ROBERT STRUTTING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT!

That alone is worth the price of admission.

3 Tipsy Winos.

2010: Remember Me

 

Oh dear.

Oh my.

Robert.

I truly loved this movie.

Yes, mostly because of Rob.

What can I say?

I'm a true fan.

I will follow him through all his choice of roles.

Tyler was a beautiful lost soul.

Rob can portray that wonderfully.

And look good doing it.

I hated the end.

But that's because Tyler dies.

I didn't need that.

Not after Cedric

(MY BOY!!!)

Not Tyler, too...

 

 

 

4 Plastered Carousers

2010: Twilight Saga: Eclipse

 

Probably the most beautiful Edward so far.

Probably the most romantic Edward.

Probably the first time we get to see the tough

'Don't mess with me, Victoria' Edward.

Yeah.

He takes that bitch DOWN.

Eclipse was my favorite book.

Not sure if it is my favorite of the movies

(thus far)

I find myself getting nostalgic for Edward of old.

But yes... I loved this movie.

Even if there is no strutting Edward.

And truly...

Why would you wanna break my heart?

Why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 Intoxicated Sponges.

 

I can't wait to see how many glasses of wine

Water for Elephants

or

Bel Ami

will get.

Maybe I might need to add more glasses...

You can never have enough wine.

Or popcorn.

Or Robert.

Yeah.

Prospects look good.

So...

I have quite the collection of Rob movies so far.

I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

 He just keeps getting better and better.

And if at all possible...

Better looking as well.

Amazing.

I wonder if I will ever get over this intoxication.

I wonder if I will ever want to.

This post is brought to you by the letter *W*

W for Wine.

Me and wine have become intimidate lately.

Close friends.

Buddies.

Cheers for now
