Did you have any idea Rob, what this would all become?

smeyerksrpDear Rob-

What were you doing 6 years ago yesterday? I couldn’t tell you what I was doing other than I was a junior in college, had met UC a few months prior and was probably settling in for another hot Arizona summer with dreams of making the big move to Los Angeles. 6 years ago yesterday Stephenie Meyer woke up from the dream that would later become the novel Twilight.

Did you think 6 years ago you’d be doing this?! That you’d be the lead actor in a hugely popular movie franchise about an eternally 17 year old vampire in love with a teen girl. Did you think you’d be followed around by weirdos with cameras trying to catch you doing even the most mundane of tasks like tying your shoe or walking to your car? Did you think millions of people would gather online to ponder what your every move meant and what you really meant by a flippant comment or gesture? Did terms like “Dadcase” and “fake lesbian” mean anything to you 6 years ago? Did you think that people would care enough about you to create fan sites and blogs and write letters about everything under the sun concerning you?

oh Edward come and get me... SMeyer doing her best sexy frustrated housewife pose

oh Edward come and get me... SMeyer doing her best sexy frustrated housewife pose

I sure as crap didn’t! 6 years ago I could never have imagined I’d be sitting here writing letters to some English boy I didn’t know that tons of people I had never met, around the world, would read and comment about with a girl I wasn’t really even friends with. Heck, I didn’t even think 6 months ago that I would be writing daily letters to you and your Twi pals. And all because of a dream that turned into some fantastical story written by an Arizonian housewife on a hot June day.

It’s funny where life takes us.

What will I be doing 6 years from now? I don’t know that either… maybe I’ll write a book about an eternally 17 yr old Mummy and you all will write letters to whatever heartthrob plays him in the movie adaptation… or maybe I’ll catch you walking down the sidewalk Rob, and throw myself at your legs cause I know I couldn’t let you go like Bella lets Edward leave in New Moon. Or crap, let’s shoot for the moon (heh), maybe you’ll see ME walking by and throw yourself at MY feet not letting me go! Now that’s more like it!

Here’s to the next 6,
Themoonisdown

PS what were YOU doing 6 years ago?! Could you have imagined that vampires and a boy with an accent would take over your life?

Not a ‘funny’ letter but more a letter to remember where we’ve all come from, a letter of appreciation to Stephenie and a letter to remember there was life before Rob and Edward. SHOCK, GASP, FACEPLANT!

Don’tforget LTT and the Forum

And definitely DON’T miss tomorrow here at LTR and LTT when we’ll be celebrating one very special lady’s very special day!

  1. 6 years ago I was 7 month pregnant with my first trying to figure out how I was going to have a baby when SARS was taking over the hospitals …I can’t believe my baby girl is gonna be six this year 😦

    I was still madly in love with my hubby …hmm

  2. Six years ago, I had a life… I think. And that life may or may not have included making fun of a friend for being 18 and in love with Hanson (srsly), drinking tequila like a pro and possibly losing articles of clothing (just once, promise!) after a few too many of said tequila shots. It was not a fancy life, by all accounts, but I had a hell of a time anyway!

    Now I’m 25, throwing the hubs over for Rob and marveling at the fact that said friend has not once tormented me about the Robsession in revenge for giving her hell about Hanson. Not, you know, that I was wrong about Hanson. I stand by every snarky comment ever made about the Mmmbop Brothers.

    But yeah… at least there’s that! 😀

  3. Well let’s see. Six years ago, at this time, I was graduating 8th grade making my way into high school. Sadly because I was going to a different school and my friends weren’t, and happily because my middle school was CRAP.

    Now I am on summer vacation after my 1st semester of college(took a year and a half off) and reading this like it’s my exact brand of heroin (that’s right, I said it!)

    I agree with the commenters here, I did not know I would become this obsessed fangirl ( in the closet, sometimes), all over a British actor and the movies he is involved with, about a book series….wait, that started with Daniel Radcliffe, but continues with Robert Pattinson!

  4. 6 years ago I was a Real Estate agent after having worked as a Radio personality for 3 years… and then later became a Massage Therapist (RU listening Rob… I can help with any further “set accidents” you may have-LOL).
    Today, I’m going back to school to become a teacher. (i guess I’m what they call a Lifetime Learner? HA!)

    Last fall I could’ve care less about Twilight. Didn’t go… didn’t care… didn’t read the books. Blah. I broke down out of curiosity and rented the movie a couple of weeks before Easter. BINGO.

    Since that time… I’ve had some over-the-top moments (a particular Easter Sunday post was WAYYYY out there- *hangs head*)… BUT, it’s been fun and I’m MUCH MORE “in control”. Ha!

    And y’know what? I’m gonna put it out there… and say that one good thing about my Robsession has been the revival of my libido… my girly need to feel “squeely” about a man (for a change)… and the fact that it… along with other things… has helped me begin to re-evaluate my life.

    And, if I ever do meet Rob… if given the chance… I’ll thank him. Properly. *wink, wink*.

    My heartfelt thanks to all the WOMEN who make these blogs possible… and create a fun place where we can PLAY… safely!

    Fake Lesbian Smooches!!!!

  5. hmm. i’m only 15 so six years ago i’d be 9. haha. i was obsessed with power puff girls, and never thought i’d be sitting here, reading a blog about a certain english actor, who happens to play the best fictional character ever created.

  6. Hmmmm.
    Six years ago, somewhere around this very date, I was at the beach getting the bottom knocked out of it. Who knew my sweet little girl would come from that interlude. Lol!
    I was a very serious-minded research scientist. I took my job and work ethic way too far. Karma stepped in.
    I was fired from that job for BEING PREGNANT. It all worked out in the end though.

    I never knew that I would love being a stay-at-home mom to two great kids. I never knew that it’s much more fun to be goofy than serious. I never knew that at 31 I would feel 23 again.

    Thank you to SMeyer and that glorious man Rob for letting me feel young again.

  7. 6 years ago I was 40 and feeling pretty shitty about it.

    Not nearly as shitty as I do now though, hah!

    • Why are you always like this about your age?

      You rock, girl! I love commenting FF with you!

  8. you want to know what i was doing six years ago?

    er … that implies that there was life before robert pattinson.

    which there wasn’t.

    tsk, moon.

    you should know this!

    😉

  9. Hmmm, 6 years ago, I was pregnant with my second child, living in an apartment with my husband and our little daughter.

    I was working at a retail store and hated every minute of it.

    Now my kids are not babies anymore. They have on occassion expressed their shame and chagrin over my overly acute fondness for a boy they see on the computer screen way too often.

    “Mom! That’s gross!”

    • My 11 and 10 year old boys shield their eyes when they see pictures of anything related to Twilight, especially Rob. It’s as if they’ll be infected if they even look. LOL.

      Thankfully, my seven year old girl is fine with it all. I won’t let her read the books yet, but when she’s older, I’m sure she’ll be just as obsessed as I am.

  10. Ah, six years ago I was oblivious to all the world because I was knee deep in my life… I had four kids, the youngest of whom was 1, and a full time job, and a husband who was finishing his Master’s degree. Six years ago, I was normal.

    Fast forward to February, 2009, when I lost my mind. Yes, I did – literally. I have no clue where my brain is these days. All I know is Twilight, Rob, more Twilight, some more Rob. It’s kind of a simple existence, but it works for me.

    I’ve said, repeatedly, that Stephanie M. put a spell on these books, because there’s no other way we’d be this obsessed with it all. It’s beyond understanding… Sigh.

  11. Who is this 22-year old singer? And when? I live in ATL and if its Sam I am totally down!! Tell me when and where please!

    • Absolutely!!!! I just have to figure out where The EARL is! HA!!! My town has an ampitheatre called The FRED so I got a little excited at first!

      Getting my tickets now!

  12. Hmmm….

    Six years ago I was 27. I still people I’m 27 so nothing has really changed. 🙂

    • Ha! I lurve it!

  13. Six years ago today… I was mourning the death of my mother who passed away in January, and the absence of my dad who left not long after. It’s funny how far one can come in six years.

    I never imagined I’d even be alive, be able to live through the pain of abandonment, lost loves, and high school. And here we all are, happy and as carefree as possible with rent payments, retail therapy, and Rob.

    I like LTR/LTT… taking life too seriously doesn’t do anyone any good. Thanks for keeping us balanced, ladies 🙂

    • I don know if “balanced” is the right word, but I get the idea.

      And yes, you’re alive! Alive and drooling over a 23 yo!! lol

  14. Wow! 6 years ago I graduated from Law School and was studying for the Bar Exam in Maryland.
    Boring!! I know.

    6 years ago, I had no idea that I would marry an a-hole, move back and forth across the country, after leaving him, and learn to live by myself. I never thought I would read a book that would cause me to begin an “acute fondness” for all things Twilight, and then move on to an addiction all things HHH.

    Little did I know that I would come to love all you ladies (u know, in a fake lesbian way) and use you all to keep me from becoming the crazy lady who talks to her dog too much. No idea that I would full in love with a beautiful man, that I wish to find pictures of drunk, and bang behind a dumpster. No idea that I would become everyone’s #drunktweet buddy on the Twitter, become engaged to Chewley, name a Forum Bot, & move into a Flat on the Robblerum.

    Mostly though, 6 years ago, I would never have thought that I would never feel lonely again, because I had found lots of interweb friends that make me feel NORMAL!

    • We all fake lesbo love you too 🙂

      I AM the crazy lady who talks to her dog (even tho I have a family). Nothing wrong with talking to the dog. They listen. And don’t talk back. And love you even if you yell jesus effing christ at them.

      I never imagined myself befriending internet peeps either. I have a hard enough time making RL friends with my big mouth and TMI. But here I am. And we’re all becoming “sleepless in seattle” lately and meeting up in RL. What an odd set of circumstances.

      Who knew Twilight would cause world peace?

    • Awww, fake lesbo smooches to you, too, colleague!

      HHH International Bar Association rocks!

  15. 6 years ago I was 19, just moved into a house with 3 friends.
    We didn’t know anything outside of the world that consisted of working mornings, and drinking nights. Usually until it was time to go back to work the next morning. Kept myself pretty thin from hangover puking.
    Nothing else really mattered 6 years ago. So funny how when you’re that young you don’t see the importance of everyday things. You were just worried about getting your buzz and gettin’ your rocks off.
    now 6 years later, fulltime job, home, and dog.
    Don’t get me wrong. We still throw back the cold ones, but now it’s not all about the partying it’s about gettin’ drunk watching the MTV movie awards or any other show Rob is on, then gettin’ online and blogging/reading blogss/ watching Rob on youtube and laughing til we piss ourselves.

    Kind weird, you’d think that what’s happening now should’ve happened 6 years ago and vice versa.

    Man, I didn’t grow up.
    I will say that I’m glad now, 6 years later, that God did let us all stumble upon the beautiful creature we call Robert Pattinson. He knew we would need SOMETHING in our lives to keep us grounded. And what else is better than a 23 year old hunk of man meat?! NOTHING.

  16. I was 15 and a “wanna be” punk shopping at Hot Topic….yeah that was my awkward phase I don’t want to think about it anymore :/

    never did I ever guess that 6 years later I would be drooling over a lanky british boy and going on blogs to write about him!

  17. Six years ago, my grandmother passed away from liver cancer. My husband of one year and I moved half way across the country to live in my grandma’s house, the home my dad grew up in. We both left jobs we loved so that we could live in a small town, have a baby, live on one income, and travel when possible. The move proved to be very trying on our marriage and I still don’t know how we avoided divorce but we stuck it out. Six MONTHS ago, my husband bought Twilight for me and we read all four books together. This sounds SO cheesy and a bit weird, but we got a lot out of reading those books together (well, I got A LOT out of those books, ifyouknowwhatimsayin, and in turn, so did he) and our marriage is stronger than ever. My husband supports my Twilight habit (we saw it twice in the theater together) and said nothing when I said we had to watch the MTV movie awards knowing full well the only reason we were watching was so that I could see Rob. So, six years ago I had no idea that I would be giving credit to Twilight for adding a little spark to my marriage. But, hey, whatever works. Oh, and we have a beautiful three year old girl who thinks Rob looks funny. She’ll learn someday.

  18. Six years ago I was living in Queens, NY paying way too much money for a 1-bedroom off the subway line (had to take a bus to the train). I hate hate hated my job and often hoped for a bus accident or for the train to jump the tracks just so I wouldn’t have to go to work that day.

    I was getting my first inklings that maybe I really did want to move back home. Grandma was 90, and the neices and nephews were almost grown up. I had exiled myself from my family at age 18 and was thiking it time to head back here and get to know them.

    I was still pulling off dying my hair pink, orange, blue, and/ or blonde (not all at once) since I wanted to get it out of my system while was still in my 20s.

    I was a weekend goth.

    I was obsessed with tracking down a particular printing of Trixie Belden books on ebay.

    Rob’s better.

  19. Really, who would have thought that a simple dream of a sparkling vampire would inspire such a storm of creativity starting with four books and expanding out across the world? The resulting explosion in the form of movies, music, blogging, fiction writing, and artistic expressions in a multitude of media has given us all a lot of pleasure, not to mention setting some careers in motion. From one small seed….
    Thank you Stephenie for following through!

    Six years ago I was losing my BFF to ovarian cancer after a two year fight. As much as I miss her, I did survive it. When Twilight came into my life on a whim it threw me into a frenzy. With the final “the end” of BD I was so longing to be a Cullen! After continually reading and listening to the books, the activities surrounding the movie began to overtake them and you all know how charming and endearing those early interviews were. This quickly morphed into a total Robsession.

    No, I would never have guessed 6 years ago that I would be following the comings and goings of a beautiful young Brit who mysteriously charms the pants off of anyone who dares to observe him for more than one minute and then proceeds to wrap them around his little finger as he shows his talent in acting and music and his dorky, cheeky, generous personality—plus that laugh! There’s nothing better than watching Rob smile and hearing him laugh.

    Thanks to Moon and UC for creating this fabulous site as a safe place to express the Roblove. I’ve made some wicked friends here who have all been a great support for me.

    Rob, because of you my life is richer. Thanks for just being who you are.

    • Awww….that was so SWEET!!! I ❤ you EyeC!!!

      • Gee FN. Yeah, Rob does that to me but so do you girls….

    • Nice E, very nice.

      • Hey there wicked friend!

        • being wicked rocks E!

          • I ❤ you too Lixxie 🙂

  20. So. Dark Edward is more swoon worthy than Twilight Edward… yes?

    • Oh yeah! And I just love his dirty mouth!

      • Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
        Dirty mouth.

        The whole thing is so…hawt.
        Hawt. And nothing has happened yet!

        • don’t be impatient, just keep reading on…

          • It’s hard not to be, Lizzie. (Hello, BTW).

            But it’s hawt because of the build up, so I can live with that.

          • It’s a long build up Nat.

          • It’s worth the wait!

    • I’ve just read the basketball scene.
      It makes me want to cry.
      He declares himself. In public…

      heartbreak.

      • I know! That part is beautiful!

      • That was so good. She really freaked.

        • But perfectly understable why… and he was able to stand up and be a MAN for her…

          hawt stuff.

  21. ” I then worried that it might commit us to having sleepovers and braiding each other’s hair as we discussed our feelings. Fuck that shit.”

    Gold.
    Every chapter has a gold-star moment.

    • welcome to planet FF.

      Be Back later this arvo.

      • Okay – see you later on.

  22. 6 years ago…
    I had just turned 15 and was about to finish up my first year of high school. Now, I’m a junior in college… Then, I spent most of my free hours in the gym practicing basketball/working out. Now, I spend most of my time on LTR/LTT, newmoonmovie.org, Lauren’s Bite, and watching anything on E!. How embarrassing is that?! 6 years ago I hadn’t even had my first real job yet. Since then, I’ve worked at an Applebee’s, a pharmacy, and a receptionist at a hair salon (which is where I have been working for the past 2 years bc it’s the best, most amazing job ever – even if that’s most likely not what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life). 6 years ago, I swore up and down to myself that I would never get a tattoo. As of a week ago, I got (oh boy…get ready for some all-hand embarrassment here…) “Be safe.” written in a white tattoo on my wrist. 6 years ago, I didn’t even have birthday parties. This year, for my 21st, I had a huge blowout with friends and family…and I sent an invitation to Rob. Yes. You read that correctly. 6 years ago I would have never dreamed that I would be in love with all things Rob & Twilight. Wow…6 years ago I didn’t even really read books unless it was required by school. Thank you SMeyer for making me love books! Oh…and of course for creating Edward Cullen. Duh.

  23. It’s almost midnight EST, but I’m up reading this blog and posting, so that shows how obsessed I am.

    In 2003 I was pregnant with my second child. I had had a miscarriage in Nov 2002, so I was really worried about this pregnancy.

    I was working as a lawyer for Eliot Spitzer when we was NY State Atty General, prior to the whole client #9 thing.

    I had an almost two year old daughter and my husband was thinking about switching jobs to work at a hedge fund.

    I really liked the TV show Nip/Tuck and I had a very big crush on the Australian actor who plays one of the leads – but I didn’t know what a real celeb crush was – i think I google imaged him to get a few pics for my computer – that was it.

    My, have things changed – almost all for the better! Though, I do miss working. being a s@hm is kind of boring – but it does give me the time to really indulge this obsession to the fullest!

  24. There’s a videochat going on…it’s pretty cool. I wish I had a camera 😦

    http://tinychat.com/5tv20

    • Gotta go do work stuff…
      Back in an hour…

      Again, do you sleep?!

      • LOL, I haven’t today….

    • That was fun! It looks like you have to type furiously to keep up!

      • I thought the same thing! I’m not sure how I would feel about everyone seeing me in my nightgown. Plus, I like to read FF between comments, that would be impossible to do there.

        • I’m with you there.

        • Did you finish TRL? Last day today with the kids–yay!!

          • I’m reading it now. Edward is telling Charlie about what Victoria did to that poor kid!!! She’s so violent. I can’t wait to figure out what’s going on w/ that whole thing…

          • Oh yeah!! Last day w/ the kids!!

            One of the ladies who does testing in a room behind mine told me she was going to try to set me up w/ one of her sons, but since I’m moving, she decided not to. lol That makes me feel good about myself if this lady I barely know, thinks I’m good enough for her son…right?? lol

          • Yes that should give you a boost in confidence. Maybe it will work out after all! lol

          • I meant your career choice….

          • Haha…I gotta wonder what’s going on w/ this guy though if his mom is trying to set him up…lol

          • Haha!! I was wondering about that. And heck yeah! lol

          • Oh, a Mom…. Yeah, maybe I’d think awhile about that!

  25. http://bit.ly/HQMnS

    Is Jared Leto cool or something?? I guess he must be if he’s taking pics w/ HHH, right??

    • He used to be. lol Haven’t kept up with him since My So-Called Life. He’s doing his music now so that’s def something they have in common.

      • Yep. I was reading the comments on that pic and one of them says “they both look stoned”….they kinda do….I’m telling you me and ErPattz need to invest in some pipes to give the boys as gifts. We’ll even send one for Rob.

        • I know it’s happening but I really hate it. Hope they keep it under control.

          • Yeah, no joke. My ex boyfriend started out w/ the little stuff and it turned into a REALLY bad problem.

          • It can be so subtle in the beginning. I see it with my favorite nephew.

          • That’s unfortunate.

          • He still has a job though so he must be keeping it under control.

          • That’s a good sign.

  26. This is a little off topic, but my mom is having reservations about me going to Austin alone w/ ErPattz. She’s afraid I’ll get abducted or something. Any ideas about how I could make her feel less freaked out?? I understand her concern, I just don’t know what to do to put her mind at ease. B/c I REALLY wanna go!

    • How about if you set up a short email chat with ErPattz? That might reassure her that you are both responsible people and will look out for each other and will make sure you will see each other off at the end of the night?

      • That sounds like a good idea although I’m not quite sure what and “e-mail chat” is. Is that just another name for e-mailing? I swear I’m such a nerd sometimes. I don’t know the hip lingo 🙂

        • Yes. I’m the nerd here. I just menat a back and forth. I was getting it mixed up with the way we talk here.lol

          • lol, I figured that’s what you meant, but sometimes things that seem really simple can be really complicated. I can never tell the difference.

          • LOL Basically she just wants you to be safe.

          • I know. She’s just being a mom.

  27. Here’s a shout out to Tara:

    HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, girl!!!

    Hope you’re having a wonderful time!

    • Oh yeah!!

      FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!!! Don’t get too crazy! lol

      • btw, I DO remember that you said you were going to dinner w/ youf BF and his family or something so that was completely sarcastic (which apparently is difficult to convey via the internet lol)

  28. Hello

    • Hey!

    • Hi EP. Did you get rid of the headache?

      • Hey FN

        Hey EyeC, yes and no. I don’t currently have a headache, but I had one until I took some excedrin today, then I had a low blood sugar episode and it’s just not been good.

        • Yuck! That sounds awful! I hope you get to feeling better soon.

          • Me too, after I lost vision in my right eye last night from the pain, I figured an early bedtime was in order. Yesterday was stressful too.

          • Oh my goodness!! ((((HUG)))) I bet that was scary. Does that happen often?

          • Never has before.

        • Just take it easy, girl! Keep an eye on things, OK?

          • I will.

  29. siiigh, six years ago i was a lowly freshman in college with dreams of avoiding underage consumption tickets and tackling tough questions like what is the best way to sneak a keg up seven stories and not get caught. my how times have changed….

    now the tough questions center around the best way to notstalk rob and convince him to come to bed with me and what wine is appropriate for consumption while reading a friday night blog.

  30. Hey ladies.

    • Hey Jenny! How’s it goin?

      • Hey FN, not bad, I guess. So tired. How are you?

        • I’m freakin’ tired too! Today was my last day w/ the kids! After my 1/2 day tomorrow I’ll be done!! It’s bittersweet.

    • Hi Jenny? How did the convocation go today?

      • Hey EyeC! Well, the convocation went smoothly. I really enjoyed it! But the festivities afterward were… drama filled. Sigh.

        • Family?

          • Yep. You know it.

          • Everybody’s got one! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. lol

  31. FN if you want me to talk on the phone/ e-mail with your Mom or something I will. I’m not creepy I promise.

    • LOL, okay. I’ll talk to her tomorrow and see what she says.

      I think I’m going to call it a night already. I’m exhausted. I didn’t get my nap today. Instead, I organized and put all of my craft stuff into storage. I have so many glue sticks it’s ridiculous. I’m just a big kid. Crayola makes so much money off of me. I secretly think that’s why all of my nieces and nephews like me so much. I have all the cool toys! Night gals!

      • Night FN, have a good last day tomorrow.

      • Good Night FN. It’s been fun. Sleep well.

      • Goodnight, Nuggety.
        Sleep well.

      • Night FN, good luck tomorrow!

    • You just have a smll problem with an certain obsession.

      • LOL, I think that might be why she’s freakin’ out! Parents just don’t understand….GOOD NIGHT! FOR REAL this time 🙂

        • Night nuggety.

      • You would be surprised how few people know about it though.

        • We do want to kepp it somewhat under wraps. Even if we think it’s NORMAL, for some reason people take us for crazies. I just don’t get it!

          • Oooh, I get it. I get that it’s crazy and abnormal.
            But it’s fun! Fun fun fun.
            It’s not like we’re those crazies in Van or Italy.

          • So true. It could be so much worse.

        • Yeah… there’s a lot to be said for discretion.

          If any of my students knew that I was a bigger Twilight fan than they are…the mortification…

  32. Curiousity killed the Edward… too much.

    How are you all…?

    • Hi Natalie.

  33. 6 Years ago I was in Puerto Vallarta buying a timeshare from a super hot salesman that I couldn’t say “No” to. Darn those Super Hot Latin Men!!

    Now I can’t say “No” to a Super Hot British Boy/Man that I am sure has cost a big Share of my Time!! Coincidence?? Maybe a character flaw/strength of mine depending on your point of view.

    Anywho, I was also hanging out with my nieghbor whose Mom lived next to Stephanie Meyer. Why didn’t I go to her house and knock on her door and ask her about a dream she had the other night?? Hindsight is lamespice (Holla!)

  34. Eye C.
    How has your day been?

    Ahhh…you guys have killed me.
    Exhaustion. But WA well worth it.
    Better than Twilight itself in many ways.

    • Yes, Wide Awake leaves you anything but! AG is such a good writer. I expect to see a novel for real from her someday.

      I’ve had a good day, thanks.

      • Yeah… but is it a she or a he?
        Is the ‘story’ of the fiancee just more of the ‘story’?
        dunno.

        • I’m trying to figure out what you’re asking. lol It looks like we’ve lost EP and Jenny.

          • Yeah, it’s that time of day. Again.
            I’m going to have to go myself and do work stuff.
            Not that I’ve done much today – so fecking distracted.

            Dark Edward is a lot like Catcher in the Rye. Only I hated Catcher in the Rye.See you tomorrow, EC.

          • Bye Bye Nat. See you tomorrow.

  35. 6 years ago, I was a 13 year old in middle school. I’m pretty sure that 7th grade was the worst year of my life, but its gotten way better since then! Especially in this last year now that I’ve discovered Twilight and everything related to it! 😀

  36. Random Thoughts:

    I’m tired of college. Specifically, I’m tired of my college.

    It was 99 degrees today. It’s going to be a hot summer.

    Yeah, that’s all.

    • I’m sorry, BFF. It will be over soon, enjoy it while it lasts!

      For a second I thought you were exaggerating, but then I remembered you use fahrenheit.

      Good stuff.

      • Not much to enjoy at the moment but I’ll keep it in mind.

        Yeah, Americans don’t like the metric system, I’ve been trying to learn the conversions.

        Yep.

    • It gets to be a drag. Think happy thoughts of London.

      Hot. Very hot.

  37. Random thoughts:

    I’m watching the New Moon trailer. Again.

    I don’t want to get up early again tomorrow.

    My feet hurt from walking in heels all day. I long for my converse.

    I ordered a pretty grad ring today. But man, those babies are expensive.

    • Nice.

      I don’t either.

      My feet hurt walking in converse, they hate being covered up.

      I didn’t get a grad ring, but they are expensive.

      • It’s pretty good, yeah.

        I’m not a morning person.

        I love runners. My feet love them.

        Yeah, this is the first time I’m buying one. Special, and so pretty. I’ll be wearing it in Van city, because I love rings. I’m a ring freak!

    • At least it’s good to have one to watch now.

      Early is no fun.

      Does a foot rub work long distance?

      Yeah, but you’ll have it forever.

      • True. I want another! Or, rather, I’d like the movie to come out. Private screening at Rob’s place (ie prob in a dumpster)!

        Nope, I like afternoon.

        I have no idea, but we could give it a shot!

        Very true, EyeC. Plus I think it looks really nice.

  38. On LTT, when UC and Moon “grade the trailer”, they say that they don’t understand what Edward means when he says:

    “You’re my only reason to stay.. alive.. if that’s what I am.”

    But I’m pretty sure he means that he’s not really “alive” in the sense of a person being alive. Because, you know, he’s a vampire. So he’s kind of an undead type of alive, which isn’t really alive.

    • That’s how I see it.

  39. Also, I don’t think Bella looks very sad in the forest. If she doesn’t put more emotion into it (in the rest of that scene), I’ll be pissed.

    Also, KStew’s acting at Bella’s b-day party is sucktastic. Who throws a freakin’ present box because they paper cut their finger? Usually you just pull your hand back. Overreaction, party of one.

    • I was also expecting way more blood and was a little disappointed, clearly I am just bloodthirsty and the thought of Bella lying bleeding on the floor does not unduly upset me.

      • No, I totally understand. It was a gory mess in the book, or at least it seemed to be pretty bad.

        • they could have broken out a second bottle of tomato sause, they ahd the budget for it, having said that am loving the rest of it!

  40. @Tara: Happy 21st! Excellent, if we merge we take the median age right – yeah that will work!
    @FN: Normal, we’re all normal ❤
    @J-m: Congrats to the grad.
    @EP: We need to get you well.
    @E: You know it alrady but i loved you note above.
    @Nat: Hi & bye.

    Hello loverlies!
    I have been work productive today (I will now pause for suitable applause)

    • Thanks Lizzie!

      I’m applauding in my head, does that count?

      • grad teddy bears were all the rage when i graduated, i don’t think jewellery was even an option, and as a jewellery girl trust me i would have tried to swing it if it was!

        • Awwe, those things are cute. I think grad rings have been around for a while, at least over here. A lot of people I knew got them in high school, too. I never got one for high school though. Pffft high school.

          • jeez, all that was on offer for us were crappy bits of paper, ripped off!

          • I never got the high school ring, high school is not that big of a deal.

    • Hi Lizzie, no one wants me to get well more than me. Did that make sense?

      • yep, and very true

    • That does call for a standing O!

      • yes indeed a real miracle, and it was even the stuff I hate doing so feeling particualrly diligent right now. lol

  41. So, I’ve been listening to the boys all day (thanks FN) and I am leaning towards Sam as being my fav.

    • Sam is my fav. which is odd cause I’ll see him the least live.

    • Sam is certainly destined for larger audiences I think. Bobby in the smaller intimate settings. Not sure about Marcus yet.

    • I’m pretty sure you all know I would have Bobby’s babies.

      I like Sam and Marcus too, but not as much. I’d probably just babysit their babies, but no actual birthing would be involved.

    • I’ll have to take the seeing them LIVE reports second hand I guess, sad panda face and big sigh.

  42. For some reason I have that “Teddy Bear Picnic” song stuck in my head now.

    If you go out in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise! (that’s what she said)

    This is one of those songs that will never lead my head. Similar to that song from Lambchops, back in the day:

    This is the song that doesn’t end, yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…

    • Also, who thinks that Teddy Bear Picnic song is creepy? Such a creepy tune. I’m creeped out.

      • I haven’t thought of that song in years! I used to play it on the piano. It is kind of creepy with that rhythm. And being the craftsperson that I am, I remember a thin, thin porcelain bowl I saw once in a store made by an artist. She had pierced through the clay and all the teddy bears were sitting around a picnic tablecloth. Oh, the things that go through my head!

        • That’s crazy that you remember that much detail about a porcelain bowl you once saw! Especially brought up by the memory of a creepy song. I’m impressed.

          • My brain remembers so much stuff I’m surprised it doesn’t explode!

    • I’ve only just rid of Hot and Cold, if Teddy bear’s picnic takes it place you are in so much trouble J-m.

      do i get to decide the surprise waiting for me in the woods though?

      • I’m pretty sure the surprise is the picnic. But I’ll say yes, Lizzie, you can choose the surprise. (Rob naked)

        • so you have ESP too then?

          • Yes, but I’ve been trying to hide it. People are too demanding. I leave it all up to you.

    • I’ve had “Dead and Done” in my head all day. You’d think I being the elementary school teacher wannabe and you being the Bobby spaz it would be switched. Clearly the merge plays a role in this.

      • LOL Bobby spaz! Is that my new title? God I’m attractive.

        • You’re a hot mess.

      • I can see that on the t-shirt you now have to wear to the concert!

        • If she’s wearing a t-shirt that says Bobby-Spaz, I’m not standing next to her for other reasons than concern for rumors of a romance.

          • Now I’m almost tempted to do it to spite you. And to prove how lame I am.

            But I’m going to print out a picture of Lizzie’s face, and wear it as a mask.

          • Yeah, you just watch how far across a room I can get from you.

          • casue yes the mouldy toast with arms will attract him for sure, i’ve heard about his thing for mouldy toast.

          • Hey, it would be better than a Twilight t-shirt.

          • I’ve seriously eaten enough mold to kill an ox.

            It’s attracted to me, for some reason.

        • Yes, the shirt plug me asking him to pose with his arm around air (photoshop in Lizzie) will make him fall head over heels in love with me.

          This plan is infallible.

          • Yep it will, i just looked into the future and done deal, it can do double duty for your wedding too.

          • As a bridesmaid (hell, maybe maid of honor we are BFF) at that wedding, I’m scared of what she might put me in if she’s wearing that t-shirt.

          • ROFLMAO!!!

          • If Bobby would marry me in a shirt that said “Bobby Spaz”, I would question my love for him.

          • do you remember the bannana suit that Jackson’s band manager wears, well have i got good news for you EP

          • And I thought bridesmaids dresses couldn’t get any worse. Eff.

          • bridesmaids dresses can always get worse, very true story. Yes I have been a bridesmaid.

          • Guys, Bobby and I will decide on the wedding stuff together.

            And clearly, with our awesome combined fashion sense, nothing could go wrong.

          • I repeat: Eff.

          • you can decide, but you forget I have already SEEN! And what a lovely wedding it was too.

          • Oh BFF, you have no faith in me and Bobby. You might get demoted from maid of honor with that attitude!

            And thanks Lizzie, I know it would be beautiful. Wanna give me some of the details?

          • BFF, I just want to be the bridesmaid that walks with groomsman Rob.

          • I would let that happen, because that’s how much I love you. Just so you know, Rob will love the outfits we choose.

          • i wasn’t so sure about the duelling banjoes, but walking down the aisle you made it work. again having all the attendants dressed as fruit was a bit weird but in these health conscious days probably an important educational lesson for guests, given the boys were chainsmoking maybe not as successful as you hoped though. i commend your attempt however.

          • At least I know one thing, I’ll be dressed comfortably at your wedding. Score.

          • If I could marry Bobby (or Rob), I would almost take that wedding. No matter how scary it would be.

      • Dead and Done is easy to get stuck in your head. I hear it once and I’m Dead and Done for the whole day!

        Yes, it does look like the merge may be complete.

        • I’ve sort of got Sam’s whisky starting to rotate around, the song kind of made me laugh too.

          • Have you gone to his site and watched where he is singing it from?

          • Is that the one from the bathroom?

          • well that explains the echo, LMAO, that’s fantastic!

        • True story (stories)

        • My favorite is Sad Woman Blues. I could listen to that all day. But I do love Dead and Done too.

          • Sad Woman Blues is my Bobby-Favorite too!

          • It’s good, I listened to it while I was avoiding someone on campus today.

            Just please BFF, I beg you, don’t wear it in public.

          • Mmm, it’s the best. The guitar slays me. And the voice. Ohhhhhhh the voice.

            Seriously. I am deserving of the Bobby Spaz shirt.

          • And the comment did the jump ahead thing.

          • Just so he doesn’t take it as a slam. Maybe add the ‘I Am A’? lol

          • I could wear it in public, as long as it doesn’t say “Bobby Long, Rob’s Homeboy”.

          • LOL EyeC.

            It’ll say: “Bobby’s a Spaz”, with the “‘s” and “a” as reallllllly tiny letters.

          • there are certain places in Sydney i would strongly encourage you not to wear anything saying “Rob’s homeboy”. that’s all i am sayin, LMAO

          • LOL

          • Doesn’t paz mean peace?

          • I believe it does E

  43. Dear Rob

    want someone to do some sightseeing with?

    love me
    xxoo

  44. Random thoughts

    I’ve got the squirms, i can’t sit still today.

    I am still stuck with Ahsley and Kellan agreeing to go a on a Twilight cruise, they are so going to earn their money or alternatively just never leave their cabins.

    Public holiday monday, getting excited…

    that’s it.

    • When you said squirms, I thought of something else more unpleasant.

      They did? Whaaa?

      What holiday?

      Boo.

    • Squirms? No help here.

      Poor A & K! Long trip.

      Only 1 day left for you. Nice long weekend.

      • not that i am counting or anything E, but yes i am almost there, I can almost taste it!

    • I’m sitting oddly still.

      Yeah, that whole Twilight cruise thing is waaaayyyy to creepy.

      I wish I had a holiday.

      Ok

  45. Okay LOTN (every time I type that, I think of LOTR), I need to sleep. Barely keeping my eyes open, even though I’m laughing a lot.

    Sweet dreams to all!

    • I’m out too, that headache will be back soon and I want to be asleep when that happens. Night and Sweet dreams all.

      • G’Night EP. Good plan. Sweet dreams to you.

      • Night EP, take care of yourself.

    • Night Ms Jenny – check up the posts for your wedding before you go though, then you can dream happy thoughts!

      • Weddings mean something bad in dreams I think, so you may want to skip that part BFF. Ok really going now.

        • Dreaming about a wedding = nightmare for me, anyway. Ack.

      • I did. And now I’m turned on, in a twisted I-hope-that-never-happens-but-I-want-it-to-anyway sort of way.

        Thanks Lizzie!

        • just returning the favour, “if you go down to the woods today…”

    • Nite Nite J. Happy trails in your dreams.

      • You too, EyeC. 🙂

  46. why do weddings mean bad things in dreams?

  47. I don’t have one of those dream interpretation books. I kind of believe dreams are individual, personally tailored by your own subconscious

    • that’s a better and happier explanation anyway E

  48. You know I am really worried that one night as I leave work or am on the phone to someone as I leave I am going to say “Robdreams”, it is so going to happen only a amoment of time and then I will be busted big time. lol

    • LMAO! Imagine the look on their face! Who will know what you mean? It sounds like code.

      • I figure I will get the weird look and the huh, and i will just mumble something and turn it back on them, i said sweet dreams, what do you think i said? See I like to be prepared, I know it is going to happen so need to know how to react appropriately when I slip.

        • Good planning. Even rehearsed!

          • as I said i have a history of foot in mouth, no matter how much i try and engage brain before speaking/typing, well not always successful!

  49. I started the first one of J-m’s reconmmended books today on the bus, am loving it so far, which is why I am also going to be saying goodnight as I am ready to head home for the night and get back into it.

    Sweet dreams E and I will catch you for some friday fun tomorrow! Night.

  50. Where are you in your ff reading?
