Warning: this post will be controversial. And we love controversy! You might not agree with me. And that’s fine. Cuz Moon & I disagree about it, but she’s wrong. She is. Ready, set Go:
Dear Rob,
I have a confession: Some pictures were released of you yesterday and I was so underwhelmed. The fandom was freaking. I think twitter broke & I heard there was a 40 car pile up on I-95 because some chick opened the link on robsessed and slammed on her breaks, hyperventilating. And I thought this:
He looks really British. And not like hot Jude Law British, but bad British. Like inbred British Royalty.
I felt alone. Everyone was going on and on about how good you looked for this photo shoot. And all I could think was that there was a reason why these were outtakes and released almost a year after the initial photos were seen. So what does a girl do when she feels very alone in her opinions? Goes to the The Quad who, of course, wouldn’t dare disagree with her, would they?
EastFriend: No, these pics are NOT hot. At all. He looks exactly like every other English lad–scruffy, mildly cute, and kinda smelly. Some of these fans are so hardcore and feel it’s treason to ever call him anything other than hot. He’s not always hot. And that’s not blasphemy for me to say–there just happen to be less than flattering pics of him out there- Like that GQ cover of Zac—-ewwww, he looked like a bobble-head. Worst pic of him ever. And I love me some Gayfron.
Moon: It’s like half ‘gotta go potty’ half ‘school picture day.’ He does have intense eyes though, I’ll give him that. The bedazzled denim vest he wore makes him look like an English redneck or something, and I could SWEAR a member of NSync wore the same damn vest for Rolling Stone like 10 yrs ago.
EastFriend: He looks like a wanker who needs to have the piss taken out of him. That’s my thought upon first view. Second view, He looks tired, scrutty, mildly cute (like- “Hey, that guy by the bar is not too bad!”- cute), and he reeks of ciggie smoke. Duh. Like…old ciggie smoke. Man, I’m hoping he was wearing those old black slippers…with his big toe sticking out. That would redeem every one of the pics. He’s also thinking, “The second I leave here, it’s cheeseburgers, beers and a nap–all in that order.”
WestFriend: The only thing I keep thinking of when I am looking at that wet picture is the part in OC season 3 when Summer tells Cohen she likes to look at him when he is navigating the sailboat and Cohen says, “Summer…are you telling me you like ‘seaman’?” Wow…
Moon: This one he looks like he might be a special needs class. or have one VERY short midget arm
UC: Lifting his leg, about to fart
Oh we’re not done. The Quad doesn’t suddenly show up for a SHORT post now!
Secret msg to Rob
WestFriend: The last time I actually died was from the New Moon set pics. I love him as Robward. And then the pics of him in front of the church marquee! And then the GQ pics.
Moon: This is my big secret, but I gotta say I’m not a huge fan of the Sex Drive pics! SHOCK! STUNNED SILENCE! Died: The Italy pics (well mostly the vid of them put together), GQ (sad rob pic), original Dossier when the first couple came out, um FRENCH PREMIERE- my all time fave rob look i think. LA premiere. and of course the beard pic from LA Times.
EastFriend: We’re breaking up. Sex Drive pics are my ALL TIME FAVES. Well, except for Urban Cowboy, via GQ. And I hated his hair at the LA premiere–he looked like Wolverine. But looooooved him @the London premiere. You need to do a post where you reveal your dislike for the Sex Drive pics. And you may quote me as saying, “Beotch, please!” ‘Cause he was THE sex that night. That’s “THE,” all capitalized.
UC: First time I died: London premiere, and then like every day ever since except for today (especially GQ day, Robscars day, and the yacht day in cannes) and I agree…. sorry EastFriend, not a big Sex Drive fan.. his chest looks shaved. ew
Moon: God! I thought I was alone in that one! We’re in this together people! a Rob for everyone
WestFriend: I don’t like the Sex Drive ones either! That was a “BEEEEOTCH PLEASE” moment for me. Oh goodness! Umm hi. I HATED his hair at the LA premiere. It’s like he decided to spruce up for the home crowd at the London premiere.
EastFriend: How can you not LOVE this picture? I’ve always particularly loved the way his chest looks in these pics. That’s the one which made my friend say, and I quote, “That look right there? That’s foreplay. And I’d stretch that shiz out all day.” Truer words have never been spoken. Or quoted.
I also love it because it was said that the minute he finished walking the red carpet, he got the heck out of Dodge. That’s so James Dean…he was all, “Yeah, Summit…pimp me out…I’ll do the job…I’ll pose, I’ll smile pretty…until I get to the end of the line, and then it’s dive bars and whiskey for the rest of the night.” Brilliant. I love the Sex Drive pics. And what an appropriately titled movie for these shots, too. Ahem.
Moon: I don’t know girl… it’s the hair and like how its like the greasiest that it ever was. And the weird chest hair. I don’t know, just not my fave. And the look is like “ruh roh” scooby doo style or something.
UC: He kinda looks pale like he had a cold that night… and that he might barf & that his nose is runny
WestFriend: Rob looks like snoopy – vulture style in that sex drive pic. I would be afraid if he looked at me that way. I would throw him my wallet and anything that could possible be pawned if he looked at me that way.
EastFriend: Y’all are bitches. Straight up bitches. I love the Sex Drive pics because of the hair. It’s fab. Love his slightly-sheeny silver shirt. Love his completely bored-yet-still-working-it facial expressions. Love all of it. I even love the London premiere of Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire pics…in that terrible red velvet jacket with the leather pants. He’s so Prince-wannabe and I love it.
WestFriend: Someone please tell me EastFriend was joking about loving the velveteen-rabbit jacket of horridness.
(She wasn’t joking)
Love,
UnintendedChoice
Today we go into the confessional- confessing things we haven’t shared that we just don’t really like about Rob. We know you’ve thought negative thoughts in the past he’s not perfect. GO on- confess. It’s okay- it doesn’t change how you feel about Rob or how he feels about you. Tell us. This is a judgment free zone
Um what was I thinking? Why haven’t I done a poll?
Be right back with that!

Bless me UC, for I have sinned. My last confession was never, and all have to say is,
all his red carpet shots? I had to remind myself not to make of him cause he brought Edward Cullen to life. For some reason though, he looks hotter in pap candids. Just the stalker in me I guess.

OMG – LOVED today’s post, you guys are awesome. I love it that you are brutally honest. The one pic of him ni a leather jacket looking to the right, really bored, sucked in cheeks irritated me. That was the only one I did not like at all. he looked cocky and bored and his life is amazing. He should not be BORED. I mean hello mister, there are whole websites devoted to your talented loveliness. and body. and face. OK im not irritated anymore.

Thank you for honesty!!!!
I was at Robsessed too.
I thanked them for the pics but I didn’t
say they were hot. I can see why a lot
of them were put in the outtakes bin.
But have you seen the GQ ones?!
HOLY MOLEY to the CROWLEY!
By: Diana on July 22, 2009

Rob is hot, I’ll admit that he can take a bad picture, but there will always be something hot about it. He looks goofy or evil or stoned, but still hot!
Shit! I must be in lurve that I can look past all his faults and still think he’s hot.
BTW, the armpit fur – doesn’t bother me one bit and I don’t think he has an excessive amount there. But then again, I like my men to be men and not furless little boys.
The Sex Drive photos are hot as hell but they are a little too manicured for me. I’ll take dirty hot Rob still smelling like ciggies over Sex Drive Rob anytime!
By: Ceri on July 22, 2009
at 1:58 pm
I don’t love all pictures he takes. I personally didn’t like some of the VMAN (I think?) outtakes. I think his face looks weird. Anynway. As far as these new pictures, I like a few of the leather coat ones, and the one bedazzled jean jacket one (just because of his package in those jeans and the happy trail) and of course the wet ones…because, hello, Rob is wet.
I like the sex drive pics, used to be my fav. Now Rome pics are my fav. Scruff, hair, shit kickers, dark blue jacket. PERFECT.
Okay…time for a cold shower!

Has LTR lost their collective minds? Thjose pics were HOT, an the wet ones were to die for.
You call Heineken “swill”, you make fun of Rob’s penchant for microwave foods…satire/sarcasm line is a thin one, “gals”!
By: DebbieNTX on July 22, 2009
at 2:04 pm
The only one I like is the one with him close up wearing a ripped shirt. I kind of like the one with him zipping his leather jacket but he has s cigarette in the other hand. I’m so repulsed by smoking and I wish he would stop. Never dated a guy who smoked and will never kiss a guy who smokes although I might make an exception for Rob! Haha. I worry about him too getting lung cancer. And the drinking I worry that it will destroy his liver. I worked in the medical field (I’m SAHM now) and I’ve seen so much lung cancer and diseased livers….it’s ok to drink but not all the time!
I Rob what no matter what but I wish he’d take care of himself better. I wish he’d drink vitamins, lots of water, eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies
.
You got a good point though, he doesn’t always loook good in pics. I like it better when he’s just dressed casual, like the ones in NYC. I really it when he looks like he’s brooding. Oh and I love it when he wears a suit or a tux, but not those flood pants he wore for Remember Me!

I didn’t like all the pics posted. Not really fond of the bedazzled jean jacket. However I did enough seeing the manfur. RAWR!! I agree that Rob can sometimes take a really bad picture.
LOL!!
@Moon!!! I am in shock. Not in love with Sex Drive Pics!! OMG I can’t know you anymore. My world had been put into a tailspin.
My fav Robs are MexiRob *THUD* He’s got the whole naughty professor vibe going on. Next would AppleStore Rob. He’s at his adorkable best. LOVE IT!!
And finally there’s Urban Cowboy Rob. I’ve had many a naughty dream about him. RAWR!!!

Yeah, lol, I don’t know how much i can relate to this post. Because it’s not just Rob’s looks that make me so hot…it’s his carriage. The way a man walks, wears his clothes (ugly clothes or not), holds his head up, the way he speaks…those are the things that make me want to “attach myself to his leg” (yes, I’ve been going through every single post in your archive, LOL). Add the kick-ass passion for music, his (IMO) flawless acting choices, and the fact that he can change accents so perfectly? I am dead. Done. Ruined for men.

I liked some of them, many of them not quite so much. I did spend way too long staring at the one where he’s laying on his side staring straight at me – I mean, the camera.
His face is so interesting that close-up shots tend to be pretty great.
I’ve thought he was hot forever – but some of the photos are just so, I dunno, CONTRIVED that they take away some of the sexhotness.
But then again, I’m sure there were one or two shots out of the 176 naked pics of me that I sent to him that he thought were less than perfect.
(Haha okay I’m just kidding. He loved all those shots.)

Re Robbie: well you know.. we all have our “bad hair days”… Himself is no exception. Yeah, I’m still waiting for some more “hot pics” although that recent one of him in black jeans, tshirt and black cowboy boots leaning up against a wall was pretty hot. Makes me wanta “giddy up and ride em cowboy”… Robbie as a cowboy would look pretty hot.. (ok enough already).
I found some others that I had not seen recently that looked good. Going to put them in a vid with some KOL music and post to you tube soon.

And I’m with EastFriend SexDriveRob was hot.
I like the US pics, but I’m not a fan of the armpit.
I agree that Rob doesn’t always look good, but I’d still tap that. true story.

“Rob looks like snoopy – vulture style in that sex drive pic.” exactly! and the muppet comments…i can’t believe that…i’ve been thinking that for so long…there are definitely some muppet pics of him…but his bad pics are really only 2% of all the pics that are taken of him, right? all the others are just ridiculously hot…Italian VF…really great…
By: adrienne on July 22, 2009

I’m going to be honest. I occasionally find horridly unattractive people sexy. Aside from the obvious “wow, he’s awfully pretty” when it comes to our Spunk Ransom, he has such a delicious self deprecating sense about himself during these things. I didn’t get the sense that he was taking himself all that seriously. What I would have paid good money to see, though, would have been a snap of his expression when the costume idiot brought him the bedazzled bullshit. Or the mesh. Someone so vocal about his gay eyebrows and bouffant had to have died a little inside after seeing that shite.
By: funnybecauseitstrue on July 22, 2009
at 4:46 pm
Hey, no worries, I did not like all of the pictures either…and there have been lots of other pics of Rob that I have not flattering.
I don’t think there is anyone in this world who looks perfect and hot and takes good pictures every single time. Other than the various fanfic Edwards…in my mind, FF Edward is always perfect, heh…
And I must say, I lmao at the potty/high school photo comment, coz I was thinking the same thing, hee!!

I didn’t like the yellow/blue shirt–it boyifies him. Only two pics from the whole bunch did I keep.
Of all his pics I have to say the creepy/dirty uncle one is a NO.
GQ and most of the Vman pics are still my favorites. But there are so many more I love–Rome, Cannes, Prada in Japan, Robscars.
Hate that he smokes but I’d get past it!
That pendant that Rob is wearing in the wife beater RS pic is a raised fist. It has a double meaning:
Anarchism, defiance of authority, personal empowerment
A protective talisman against the Evil Eye

I’m still laughing over the “bobble headed Gayfron ” .. and the “lifting his leg so he can fart” comment.
Perhaps, Robbie will read our comments on LTR and get his PR folk to get a good photographer next time he does a layout. Christ.. the boys’ a fashion model too, he should know how to pose.
By: Hermes on July 22, 2009
at 8:45 pm
well…..
I think Rob is always beautiful and handsome and I think of these photo shoots as “characters”. ALL OF THEM.
I am sorry, but I disagree. Rob isn’t the clothes, he’s the MAN and he was and is beautiful.

I’m so glad I’m not alone! I’ve felt like a traitor as of late since I was rather put off by the pics & feared the verbal attacks. Plus, the “wet” pics really gross me out…he looks like a wet scraggly dog. Who’s also hungry and needs a hair cut.

Team Eastfriend here! Loved the Sex Drive pics!! Agree the bedazzled jacket was ugly and thought the same thing about short bus when his hand was like that – but how many guys can pull off the short bus look and still be hot? And seriously, how can you not loose your sauce when you look at the wet Rob pics? He doesn’t even have to get naked, just throw water on him – instant sexy! Wet Rob is the best!

PS……no disrespect to anyone’s opinion.
I respect you all’s opinions. You all mean well and love Rob….
But it just hurt cause I know how Rob TRIES SO HARD!!!!!! And he doesn’t pick out the clothes for the most part…..and as I said, they are “characters” to me, not always Rob in the photoshoots. Maybe just a bit, or a tiny part of him, but not ALL HIM.
I love Rob….I love ALL OF HIS PHOTOS. 98% of them and the rest are just either blurry, or he was blinking or something…. period.
I don’t think we should be negative about Rob in any way. We are FANS and he gets enough shit from the MEDIA. How would you like to be put up to such scrutiny and he’s SO SENSITIVE. I know he’s a grown man, but still….we are supposed to be FANS. But, it’s a free country…
respect .
Don’t me mad at me folks…..just my opinion.

Debbo–But we ALL love Rob or we wouldn’t be here! I don’t think there’s another blog anywhere that is as devoted to him as we are. I get your point about him not choosing his clothes for the shoots–or his poses. That’s true. On the other hand, the whole purpose here is to be snarky and find the humor in every aspect of his life and our own for what all of that devotion does to us. It’s alright to take a day and air the things that bug us. I think he’s not so sensitive that he wouldn’t get a big laugh out of the whole thing. We know he can laugh at himself!
Who’s mad? Not me. LOL

You didn’t put those pics of zygote Rob in there, did you? LOL
Otherwise, I LOVED it!!! Of course it’s the Ray Bans, hands down! There were moments when he smiled he took my breath away….
Have you read Shadowboxer? Fightward.
I caught my name, yes, and it was sweet to see the nod to LOTN.
Good job with the whole thing!

Tried to avoid the zygote pics… but it was a dry patch on the Ray Ban front this month. A girl’s got to do…
Yes, lovely smiley pics. Especially the first few – pic quality is bad, but smile is good.
No, you have not recommended Shadowboxer before now. Have you got the link there?
Glad you caught your name – it just seemed to ‘fit’. Perfect.
Thanks for positive feedback. Just random silly fun, really. At least, I hope it comes across that way. My sense of humour might not work on line.

I liked most of these pictures as evidenced by my overzealous “right click save” moments yesterday. I don’t see how you can’t like wet Rob? The one where he’s facing the side and all wet and his hand is near the sparklpeen??? I lit’rlly GASPED when I saw that pic.
He’s no Brad Pitt in the gorgeousness department, but in truth I don’t find that stuff sexy. I mean, yeah, those perfect genetic specimens are nice to look at but I’d never even be able to have a fantasy about any of those guys. Rob’s more of the regular guy who has the personality to make him look even cuter vibe going. Plus I like dorks and Rob is the adorkablest . Kind of like Farmer Ted “King of the Dipshits”.

HL5 – Teaser: No freaking idea what any of it means…gah…
Isabel sat on the crumbling front steps of the Chief’s house, a large plastic bowl shaped like a witch’s cauldron and filled with fun-sized candy resting in her lap. They’d just finished decorating her porch with carved orange pumpkins and spider webs draped between railings. Isabel had even procured a pair of old jeans and flannel from the Chief, stuffing them with hay and dried leaves to make a headless scarecrow. Tony hit play on the scary sound effects tape and took his post next to his friend, ‘accidentally’ brushing his thigh against hers. But the autumn wind was brisk tonight, and Isabel didn’t seem to mind the extra warmth.
Neighborhood children began to make their way from lighted door to lighted door, and soon Spoons was awash in Buzz Lightyears, X-Men, and the occasional classics: witches, mice, superheroes, princesses. This year, he and Isabel had gone with pun costumes. She was resplendent in flower leis, grass skirt and coconut bra (over a long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans), and he’d borrowed Evan’s boxing gloves.
“A hula girl and a boxer?” a little cowboy scowled as he held out his candy bucket.
“No, we’re Hawaiian Punch,” Isabel said matter-of-factly, as if their attempt at humor should have been the most obvious thing in the world.
The kid sneered. “That’s stupid.”
Isabel dug deep into the bottom of her chocolate pile and tossed a half-crushed packet of Smarties in the kid’s candy stash. She winked at him as he angrily stomped down the stairs, calling out “you forgot to say trick-or-treat!” to his retreating back. Scaring the crap out of neighborhood children was one of her most beloved Halloween pastimes.
God, Tony wanted to kiss her.

Well, at least that’s been settled! lol
Hey, how are you???
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 1:07 am
Doing pretty good. It’s been so weird being away for so long. Even if it was only a few days.
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:10 am
You know we all just kind of shut down. Didn’t know you had that much of an effect on us, did you?
Did you get caught up on your updates?
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 1:12 am
LOL I did not. I’m reading updates now. How are you? How did things end up with your sister?
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009

We got her to the airport Monday AM at 6:00. It worked out fairly well with each of us taking turns. A little goes a long way.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009

That rotating schedule thing worked out nicely for you guys. I’m going to have to remember that.
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:21 am
LOL Yeah, the important thing is to sit down the first night and make a schedule or the time can get away from you. It also lets everybody know what to expect for the week.

I’m just now starting to catch up on my FF updates. Reading TOV now. I made brownies earlier and I think I ate too many. lol
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:11 am
I just had the last brownie from our Saturday slumber party.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 1:13 am
I <3 brownies!
Did I miss anything exciting while I was away? I noticed IfOnly's name in the comments today.
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:30 am
God I could use a chokkie brownie, I have been living on diet coke, sugar and crap for the past couple of days to keep me awake. Not good I know
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009
at 2:01 am
Hmm…I guess my last comment got stuck in moderation…
I think I asked if I missed anything exciting?
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:38 am
No, you didn’t. The last we heard from you was Friday before midnight, I think. The weekends are usually slower although LOTN do get together since they don’t have obligations the next morning. I stopped looking earlier than usual last night and Lizzie and I just talked a few minutes on Monday. She’s so busy these days.
I think EP is through with classes. Are you out there EP? Remember that tomorrow is her birthday.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009

Technically today. lol

I had it for the 24th July, was I wrong, now wouldn’t that be unhheard of for me to get somehting slightly wrong?
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009
at 1:57 am
Nope. It’s the 23rd. I have it marked on my calendar b/c I asked her so many times I thought it was necessary. lol
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 2:00 am
Pretty sure it’s the 23rd Lizzie. It’s her 25th.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 2:02 am
what’s worse is that i actually did write it down, just for the wrong day of course…ooops. but typical oops by me I’m afraid, i need a permanent fact/typo checker.
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009

I loved that last TOV chapter. Just like I thought.
I’ve been reading Hourglass from the forum. It was the first time I had to jump ahead to the point where they go to bed together for the first time! I couldn’t wait. Then I skim/read to the end. Now I have to go back and pick up where I stopped and read for real. lol
I’m making a list of all the ones I want to read. Some are from the forum, some from author recommendations, some are from other stories my fave authors have written. I’ll check out the blurbs for each one and put them in an order. I’m surprised that no one has listed TOV in the FanFic section of the forum since it’s one of the best.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 1:39 am
ACK! I want them to TALK about it already! lol It looks like the next chapter will be where they start to talk about it. Also, I want to know what Edward wrote! Sheesh! These cliffhangers are going to kill me!
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:48 am
yeah but so good, she has balanced everything else out so well, so i don’t think she will string the emails out too much longer, looking forward to the festival now they ahev revealed themselves to each other, and I like that B realised she need to do this for herself rather than singing with Ed, I thought that was a nice touch.
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009
at 2:05 am
I’m glad she’s doing it for herself too. I think it’s funny that she refers to James as “the ugly boy” b/c in all the other FFs James is usually still attractive. lol
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 2:11 am
Hey FN, and here I was sure you were having psyciatric treatment as a result of being disturnbed that slash FF is so good! to be serious for a minute happy to have you back sweetcheeeks.
Hey E – great looks like I have to print of another ff huh, although last night i started to work out what ones I had lying around to read once I get some time, and theere are a few, LOL!
work still full on – ggrrrr, on the good side my trip is pretty much sorted now, so at least I ahve soemthing to look forward to.
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009

Hey! It’s good to see you.
Bleh, work. :p
Hooray for traveling!! When do you leave?
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 1:55 am
Leave Syd 17 Oct and fly back in on 17 Nov. My mum is excited because of the international date line I lose 16 Nov which is her birthday so she has deided she doesn’t have to get a year older this year, casue the day won’t exist!
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009

LOL! That’s hilarious!
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009

I think she will still be expecting a pretty cool present though, LOL.
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009
at 2:07 am
LOL Hmmmm….how does that work??
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 2:09 am
Hey Lizzie! I like how your mum thinks!
I just spent 15 minutes writing you some of my latest fanfic recs and lost it! Damn! I’ll try again at some point. Did you like Creature of Habit? I’m looking at that one.
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009

found this info….don’t know if it will help. If somebody posted it already, forgive me as I haven’t read the new posts yet.
GUYS…
GO TO
http://www.Eonline.com ….and in their search window type in “COMIC CON” and then there’s one that says: “RPatz sings” or something. THAT IS E ONLINE’S COMIC CON PAGE. I couldn’t get the URL to load on here and had to delete it. TOO LONG.
Anyway….
They’ve already talked to fucking Paris Hilton who is fucking there to promote something at Comic Con and there’s a video of it there, so there WILL be some interviews (but I’m sure not our guy, didn’t they say there’d be no backstage interviews with Rob?)….ANYWAY, it may be ONE WAY TO KEEP UP.
I read that HALL *H* is where the NEW MOON panel will be and it’s at 1:45 pm supposedly. They said the doors open at 9:00 AM. It’s gonna be nuts.
Glad I’m not there. LOL I will just be happy keeping up online.
ANYBODY FIND ANY LIVE STREAMING SITES FOR THE NEW MOON PANEL TOMORROW? PLEASE LET US KNOW.
I know nothing.

I’m expecting lots of Comic Con coming through tomorrow. Last year it marked the real beginning of Rob coming into the public eye and the power he had. He was dazed by the whole experience, proving just how adorkable he was.

LOTN!!! I miss you guys!
I had to pop in and tell you that I read The Red Line!!! And OMG!!! I think it is my new favorite… Well tied with The Office. Who can compete with Edward that speaks French and has tattoos!
But anyways! I miss you girls!

Stripward is totally comptetition. I think ultimately BB wins out though! lol
How are you?
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009
at 3:20 am
Seriously!! LOL that was a good story line though!
I’m good just staying busy! Summer is always crazy. Lots of family… Drama! Lol other then that everything is good. I’m going take a class starting in august to become a CNA (certified nursing assistant) so I’m excited about that. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a job soon after!
How about you? How is everything?
By: Tara on July 23, 2009

good for you T, sounds great, i can see you in a caring profession.
By: Lizzie on July 23, 2009

Thanks! Ya I like doing stuff like that. And my grandma was a nurse at the local hospital so I may have to name drop LOL!
By: Tara on July 23, 2009
at 3:37 am
It was an awesome story! Yeah, unfortunately family usually means drama, but we still love them! lol
I’m sure you’ll find a job super easy after you finish school. That’s one of those jobs that’s never filled. And you can go anywhere to work.
By: French_Nugget on July 23, 2009

Hi Tara! Happy to see you! Missed you too. I KNOW!!! Didn’t you just LOVE TRL? He is still one of my all-time favorite Edwards. So beautiful and filled with love. And all that trauma he went through! You know she’s writing a sequel….
The Office–BB still right up there. I look forward to those updates so much. And the FRENCH! Yes.
How have you been?
By: EyeC on July 23, 2009
at 3:21 am
Ahh I didn’t know she was writting a sequel! Yay thats exciting!
I’m pretty good! See above! LOL how are you?
By: Tara on July 23, 2009
at 3:29 am
Yeah, I read above. lol Good idea to get certified as a CNA. You can always find a job.
I’m OK. Sister came and went. Next up is Bobby and Marcus here with EP and Jenny on August 12th.
