Kristin’s year in the fandom: Rob Pattinson, wedding dresses and friends!

*Dear Rob, We’re gonna let forum mod and awesome friend Kristin, take the wheel for this letter, kinda like Carrie Underwood let Jesus. So sit back and relax as one of our favorite ladies talks about her year in the fandom!*

The cause of many intersection/wedding dress/doc martens discussions!

Happy anniversary Moon and UC! I can’t believe its been a year! I started lurking at the blogs in January. And made my first comment in February. Its been all down hill since then. HA! I kid. Well, for my family, yes, downhill…because my laptop has fused to the tops of my thighs, which makes things a  little difficult in real life.  Never before in my life have I had such an obsession with something. So add a notch for me in your bedposts. I was a “obsessive fandom virgin”. If there was every any fandom I would want to associate myself with, it would you you two yahoos and these blogs. Y’all are my life now (said like Britney Spears quoting Twilight) and I can’t live without you.

I looked back through the comments the other day and ended up red in the face with all the letters I wrote to Rob, that sweet Claire has probably read (what up Mama P!).  At one point I had suggested someone give a picture of Rob’s crotch to a little girl for first communion. Who is this person I’ve become? Porn to children? Also, I don’t even think I’ve said or thought “I want to F*ck you” to/about my own lovely husband as many times as I’ve written/thought it about our boy.

So you want to know how my life has changed? I can’t go for a walk with out saying “sidewalk” and “candy”. I can’t call anyone a moron, its always super human moron. I no longer eat cream of anything soup (who knows what I’m talking about? 5 fangirl points), and I don’t take showers for weeks on end so I can come close to smelling as earthy as Rob. That is a lie. Here is not a lie – I actually opened my freezer and kissed my icemaker. If you haven’t done it, try it. I am thinking it is pretty close to what Edwards lips would feel like. I smile when I pass the hot pockets, vodka, heineken, string cheese and coke products in the grocery store. I’ve barely read anything since Twilight. I can’t. It feels like cheating. Here is something I thought I would never do after 8th grade again, I bought flannel and dusted off my Docs. I go to a new church, called St. Mattress, to worship His Holy Hotness. There is so much more but I have probably already embarrassed myself beyond repair. So basically, I’ve gone to the ledge of sanity, and kicked my legs over.

Another picture of much discussion

On this insane journey I have been far too lucky to meet the most beautiful, witty, smart, and hilarious people on this planet. At this point I can’t imagine my life with out them or their brand of crazy.  I have so many inside jokes with people on this site, that i think I may have to start a catalog system. Anything from trapping Rob in a basement, to dumpster diving for a little nookie, and running to intersections in wedding dresses to die. That last one sounds really morbid..but trust me, given the chain of make believe events we have planned out, its worth it. . I have also committed to living in a “big love” style commune with all the hunky actors, marrying one and sharing the rest. . So I guess there is another way my life has changed. I am now accepting of having an open marriage and multiple partners. Mind you, only if Rob and friends are in tow.

Follow the cut for the rest of Kristin’s year…

This summer I was fortunate enough to meet up with someone who I consider a sister in every sense of the word. Someone I met through the comment sections on these blogs. We chased some Brits, drank a lot, watch the Teen choice awards, drank a lot, laughed a lot and drank a lot. We will be life long friends. No doubt about it, and I have UC and Moon to thank for that.

Let's sing it all together now! Holding hands...

There are so many fabulous people that I converse with on a weekly, if not daily basis, that I would have never known had Moon and UC not start these blogs.  I need an MTV episode of True life, there are several options actually as to what I could call my episode. True Life: I met all my best friends on a Twilight website. or True Life: I would leave my husband for Robert Pattinson. Or True Life: I don’t know the real lyrics to “We Are The World” and “Hide and Seek” because they are all now about Rob and Twilight.

Okay, now time for the sap, the cheese, the completely mushy stuff that will make me cry if I think about it long enough. The think that gives me the greatest boost each day when I get online is that we are a community. Sure, we love on Rob, the bloggy snark, and the LOL’s are constant. However, when I have a bad day, my LTR/LTT friends are there for me. I’ve made friends as close as 30 minutes away, all the way to the other side of the world. Through the blogs, twitter, even facebook, they get me through the day. The support system we have is priceless. The way we rally around each other, defend each other, “our” blogs, and our families is astounding to me. To be a part of such a large group of women (and a few men too!), to know they have my back…there aren’t words for that. Call me crazy for saying that about a bunch of women who are constantly replacing their undies due to Rob and cast hotness…but its true. I’ve gotten to know their kids, their lives, their struggles, and I have been privledged to laugh, cry, scream, squeal and just be completely myself with my friends.

So thank you UC and Moon! You both are so high on the list of pepple I can’t wait to hug. Thank you for this little community, for your fabulous personalities that pour out in your posts and for letting all of us be a part of it.

BIG LOVE,
Kristin

Kristin- thank you so much for being an original forum mod and helping walk us through how to use the darn thing since you were an old pro! And for always being up when I am late late late on the west coast. For writing fake songs with me and then even agreeing to sing them. I’m running for the intersection with the boombox, I’ll meet you there! XO- Moon

For you:

and of course…
