Robert...again.

I truly need to take a deep breath, here. After all the joking on RPL about this megaphone...this picture turns up with his one hand going through that glorious 'sex' hair...and the other holding...a...a...MEGAPHONE! Look at that face! He looks slightly embarassed to have to speak through it...and even with that strange form of amplication...his voice (that sexy British voice) is still soft spoken and to DIE FOR! I honestly cannot remember the last time I have ever OBSESSED over someone like this. I mean...yes, Robert Pattinson is beyond beautiful, sexy, PERFECTION. But why am I reacting so strongly? Is it the hair? The eyes? The Megaphone????

I honestly don't have an answer for this...except the connection to Edward Cullen. When I look at Robert, I see Edward. And I like seeing Edward. A lot. And I like looking at Robert. A lot. Good grief. I need help.

MEGAPHONE MEGAPHONE MEGAPHONE.

Help me.

Fan or Fanatic?

:::sigh::: He's so beautiful, isn't he? Another of my favorite pictures of "Edward/Rob". But enough swooning for the moment.

I'm worried about Robert Pattinson.

There were disturbing videos of him arriving in Mexico. The poor boy. People clamoring around him so that he couldn't move...screeching "Rob" over and over again. He was trying to be kind and patient...you could see him smile (although, there was fear in his beautiful eyes). The most painful part of the video was at the end. Rob saw freedom, and made a run for it. Run, Rob, RUN! (Stay, Rob, Stay).

I can say with much satisfaction that I am not THAT kind of fan. Yes, I adore him. Yes, I find him attractive beyond measure. But would I screech at him and push a camera in his face? No. I honestly believe that Robert is finding this sudden and overpowering fandom...bewildering. Before "Twilight" made any kind of headlines...he was just that guy who was in one of the Harry Potter movies. Ok, he was that dreamy guy in the Harry Potter movie. But nonetheless. The fact that Robert Pattinson is effin' GORGEOUS has been in the public eye since "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was released. That was a HUGE movie, was it not? Robert's role was quite noticeable...yes? So why now is there so much 'hoopla' surrounding him?Simple. It's because he is now EDWARD. Stephenie Meyers has written a character so perfect, so beautiful, so easily obsessed over...that all of the love, adoration and lust...has been put onto Robert. Not that he doesn't deserve recognition. Not that I'm not thrilled for him and his soon to be bustling career. But Edward to Robert is what Jack to Leo DiCaprio was. GIGANTIC. LIFE CHANGING. Look at Leo now. LOOK. He's one of the most sought after and watched celebrities. He has his pick of movie roles and models (something I'm sure Robert already has...lol). Leo was positively DREAMY in "Titanic". Robert is positively DREAMY in "Twilight.

Robert now will never be the same after "Twilight" is released. He is about to be catapulted into the universe. I doubt he will be able to be so down to earth and acessible as he is now. People like the 'fans' in Mexico won't let him.

Robert needs to be protected. I don't want to watch him look scared and annoyed as people who don't know how to behave with another human being, chase him through airports.

I love Robert from afar. I know that is all it will ever be. That's good enough.

As for the "fan"atics? Take a deep breath and THINK about what you are doing.

Robert isn't really unbreakable, or strong and fast like a superhero.

He's human.

What if you're the bad guy?

Robert/Edward

And so the obsession continues. This is one of my favorite "Edward" pictures. It seems to be the true essence of what he is...how much he loves and wants to protect Bella.

I sometimes wish that I could stop the obsession for just a little while. When I finish one of the books (and although I have read through the series so many times I have lost count), it is always with pause that I begin the next. Trying to see how long I can actually go...before I must read Edwards words. My sons have noticed my obsession, and I must admit that it is a bit embarassing to have someone else notice what I am constantly reading ("Mom, you are going to read those books into dust"), or what I am always looking at online ("How many times can you watch that movie trailer??"). I honestly didn't believe that my behavior gave me away. That my obsession was so...visible.

I have 2 sons. They aren't into "Twilight"...they don't understand how beautiful Robert Pattinson is. They don't understand the perfection...that is Edward. Hell, I don't even understand it.

I do know that it helps me to write about it here. I do know that it helps to know that there are so many other ladies out there...married with children...who are going through their own form of obsession. Some are more obsessed than me (and truly..that IS scary to think about) and some (let's be honest here...most) are not. But it does help. It does help to know that I am not alone....at least not in this.

Robert Pattinson

Ok. I will admit to being a fairly new member of the Robsession that has swept through the land. I DID notice him in the Harry Potter film...I mean...who wouldn't? But his career has been under the radar until "Twilight". And now I have noticed.
I find myself scouring the internet for any and all news about him.
I find myself looking through endless photos and videos of him.
I watch the Twilight movie trailer numerous times a day.
I think in an interview, Rob admitted that the fans adoration had more to do with Edward Cullen than it had to do with him. And that is probably true in many ways. But now I am interested in his other movies. I long to see "How To Be", and the little I have seen makes me appreciate his acting ability. For he is a fine actor. His face shows so much emotion...
I watched the clip that was cut from "Vanity Fair" (I think that was the title...with Reese Witherspoon) and I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. I watched his performance in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and his face again...does much of his acting.
And what a face.
So beautiful. So glorious. Perfection.
I enjoy seeing all the pictures of him online...I look forward to seeing all the upcoming interviews and pictures to come. But as much as I am crushing on Robert Pattinson...my initial feeling for him...is maternal in nature. I want to protect him. I want to take care of him.
I don't want people to hurt him. As much as I love the fact that he will be more visible, in more movies...I worry that also makes him a target for those who want to cut him down.
Robert Pattinson seems like a down to earth kinda guy. He doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. He seems genuine and nice. I hope he stays that way.
He is such perfection. Please take care of yourself, Robert.
