MotU - My Turn! :)

I know a lot has already been said about Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon (bows to her feet!). Posts have already been made, and everyone who has been daring enough to step into the dark world of Fifty Shades, has come out head over heels in love with our f*cked up hero.  I am no exception....so now it is my turn to gush about how amazing it is.  And it IS AMAZING!
Clicky the pic to get to the story
Honestly, I am pretty new to the whole FanFiction world.  The only other FF I have read in it's entirety is "Let Your Mercy Fall On Me" by our dear Robicorn.  It's worth reading - trust me.  Get on over there when you're done reading and commenting on this post. :)  Anyway, MotU kept popping up on my radar....on Facebook, YouTube and other blogs.  There was such an outpouring of love for this story - I thought it was my duty as a hard-core obsessed TwiJunkie to give it a read.


Kassie and I kind of dipped our toes in this one together.  Your probably already read in Kassie's MotU post,  that she stopped reading at the end of Chapter 13.  We were messaging each other with things like, "is this what I think it is?", "Yeah, it's what you think it is", "I don't know if I should keep going", etc.etc.etc.  You get the pic.  But with a little outside encouragement, especially from one of our best bloggy buddies, Lisa (*waves* to Lisa!), we continued. We persevered....okay, who am I kidding!  We totally gobbled it up like Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Ice Cream! *wink wink*





I've spent many a night staying up way too late reading MotU....I could not stop!  I would tell myself I would read one more Chapter and then call it a night....but when the end of the Chapter came, I would have to read one more, and one more....and you get the picture.  The words obsessed and addicted come to mind.  Okay, MotU OWNS ME!!! I bet some of you can totally relate to that, right?  Believe me, it has been a challenge for me to read FF with 3 nosy kids - it has really limited my FF reading time!


So, if you haven't read MotU yet, why should you read it?  You know that I am generally a hugeass, gigantic spoiler whore.  However, unlike Twilight, that EVERYONE has already read, I know there are chicks out there who have not read MotU - so I will try to talk about it without giving too much away.  Well, in addition to lots of lemony goodness, it is an awesome story with great characters that draw you in.  Like Twilight, Bella finds herself falling for her Edward who has a secret and as she finds out his secret....she is (and you are) torn between whether she should stay with him or not.  At one point you will be like....get the hell out of there Bella - RUN!  

And then....hmmmm..... you think...maybe this could work.  :)Then you totally fall in love with Fifty because you just know that under all this messed up stuff, he is an amazing person.  I am trying hard not to be my spoiler-whorish self, but I recommend it with all my heart!  Just remember, it is rated M for a reason.....it is very, very M.
credit to whoever made this pic....it is awesome!
So, I finally finished.  *sob*  It's weird....when I read a story that I really, really like, I'm so sad when it's over and I am certain that I will never find another story like it.  I actually needed a few days to have some closure before I could sit down and write this post. Geez, it's like a breakup! LOL


Any recs for my next FF????  I feel lost without Fifty and I need some direction......thanks! :)

Twilight Junkie Tuesday Featuring.... Robicorn

This weeks Twilight Junkie is.......Robicorn!!!!  You might know her from her amazing FF, but here is a chance to get to know her even better.....


What got you into Twilight?
Well, I hate to admit I saw the movie first – on DVD. And it was my five year old daughter that said she wanted to see it! So, we rented it on demand and I have been in love ever since! I made my husband stop at the book store on his way home from work with New Moon so I could read it right away! I read it in two days, and finished the series within the week! 

Do your family and friends know how deep your twi-obsession goes (be specific about what your obsession is, how do you hide it, or how do you advertise it)
My family knows, my friends now, it is no secret! I started nursing school and attempted to hide it but it was impossible! I can't go very long without talking about it, or associating something with it! So even my classmates say things to me about it like “Oh you must me excited! I saw that new Twilight movie is coming out!”

I am was so lucky to meet a group of ladies that loves Twi as much as me! And they have become great friends! We email in a thread everyday! And I can get up to a hundred emails a day! We do fun things together like go see 100 Monkeys, Bobby Long, and anything else remotely related to Twilight/Rob.

My Obsession from Twilight has lead to a massive and probably unhealthy crush on Rob. And it may or may not have effected my marriage! I have his picture hanging, the calendars, magnets on my fridge, and a facebook page dedicated to Robporn, just so I don't embarrass my husband with all the Rob related things I share/get tagged in. 


Are you Team Edward, Team Jacob, team (fill in the blank)? Why, is it because of the character or the person that plays them in the movie?
Team Edward. Hands down. I never fell in love with Jake in the books. I have what I call “Jake Hate.” It has always been Edward and I found Jake annoying. I was screaming at him while reading the books, “GIVE IT UP! She is never gonna pick you over Edward!” It was like he was torturing himself.

Rob bringing Edward to life was a definite plus! I mean that smirk is just PERFECT! His facial expressions everything is so spot on, and he is so freaking beautiful.

Which Twilight book is your favorite and why?
Eclipse. I love it. I love how “protective” Edward is. I love the way he threatens Jake. I love the leg hitch. I love how Charlie has the “talk” with Bella, and Edward knew it! The tent scene. I love how Edward just wants her to be happy no matter what. How he fights for her, but does it in a selfless way. Like “I want you, but if he makes you happier, I'm not going to deny you that.” That just makes me love him ten times more!

If you read fanfic and your willing to admit it which is your favorite story?
I spent most of my time before starting school reading Fanfic. It's so addictive. I do only read fanfics where they are all human. My favorite story, I have to go with the amazing AG and say Wide Awake. Some of my other faves are: Emancipation Proclamation, Clipped Wings and Inked Armor, The Office, Mutually Assured Destruction, Mr. Horrible, Art After 5, and Age of Consent.
I will go further to pimp out Age of Consent by littleSecert84 – Edward 26 Bella 16 – read it. You won't be disappointed. 


Which person would you most likely still be into if they were not involved in Twilight; explain why.
Rob! Lets just move on from the fact that he is breath taking. Did you see Remember Me? The Harry Potter he is in is the only one I like! And really not only because of him – but I really do think he makes it so much better! And you have heard him sing?

How adorkable is he? He is so genuine and just likable. He really was made to be a star. And trust me – I can pick them!

I remember being twelve years old and hanging gazillion posters of Leo DiCaprio on my walls and everyone telling me”He is just a flash in the pan,” and to this day when they talk about him – I point out - “Flash in the pan, right. Sure he was.” Rob is going to be the next DiCaprio. Mark my words. 


If you ever met your favorite Twilight star how would you react? What would you do or say.
Meeting Rob...I would possibly cry. That is exactly what I did when I saw Leo! HAHA! I know I am such a dork! I hope I could get enough words out to get an autograph and picture. And man – if I could just bump into him at a bar – I'd send him beer or something. I don't know. I'd be the thousandth person to tell him how great I think he is. I have nothing epic. 

If you were to replace any person in Twilight who would you replace them with and why.
Rosalie. Not because I don't like Niki Reed, but she isn't a blonde bombshell! Too much work to make her Rosalie. There are plenty of blonde bombshells that can act like a bitch. I feel like she got the part purely because of her working relationship with Cathrine Hardwick. I picture someone like Amber Heard as Rosalie. 

How many times have you read the Twilight Saga? If you've read it multiple times, what makes you keep rereading? If you've only read it once, why haven't you reread it?????
I only read it twice. I got caught up in Fanfic! But I have been itching to start again! I can't get enough of the sexual tension between E and B! Or the things he says! Or the way he is with her! 

What is your most precious item in your Twilight collection and why? (share pics if possible)
I don't have that much – being an student, a mother, and unemployed. But what I do have is disc # 3 of my Twilight movie signed by Jackson Rathbone. I had the best time when I went to see him with my friends in Philly! We bought the band shots and talked to them for a bit after the show. It was an awesome time!

I will never forget the song he did called Bubble. My friend Lisa (Who cracks me up on a daily basis and reads more fic then humanly possible) and I made Jackson blush a bit! He would sing “Don't burst my bubble babe, just tell me you want to get laid,” and we would scream – on the top of our lungs! He would look at us and smile – try not to laugh! But after the show he signed the DVD for me, and took a few group pics with all of us and the rest of the band.
I also have a custom pair of Twilight Converse that were hand painted that I never wear but I love! 


What is the craziest Twilight related think you've done? (include pics if possible)
I would have to say there are a few. Last summer I drove to Brooklyn with someone I met that day to check out the set of Remember Me, and hoped to see Rob. Turns out – it was one of his only days off. All we saw was Martha Plimpton and the girl that played young Alley – and she was just as upset that he wasn't there that we were! She walked on set with her mom saying “But he isn't even here!”

Then, when Remember Me premiered in NYC, I went up. But I got tickets to Jimmy Fallon and that is as close as I have been to Rob. After Fallon, we literally ran to the Remember Me premeier. Where I wasn't lucky enough to get a ticket to a pre screening of the movie 2 blocks away – so I ended up paying someone $20 for theirs! And I saw the movie like 2 weeks before it was released. 
Also went to NYC for an early screening of New Moon! And PFach and Kellan came! It rocked! 

What is your favorite song from the Twilight Saga and why?
It has always been Let Me Sign. It just fits perfectly and sounds so perfectly tortured. My second would be Iron and Wine when they dance at prom.

I really love that soundtrack! So many good songs! I love Decode, Leave out all the Rest, Never Think, and whenever I hear Supermassive Black Hole I get so pumped up! 


Tell us your favorite quote from each book?
Twilight: In that one hour, I thought of a hundred different ways to lure you from the room with me, to get you alone. And I fought them each back, thinking of my family, what I could do to them. I had to run out, to get away before I could speak the words that would make you follow…

New Moon: You should probably know that I’m breaking the rules right now. Well, not technically, since he said I was never to walk through his door again, and I came in the window… But, still, the intent was clear.

Eclipse: Bella, would you please stop trying to take your clothes off?

Breaking Dawn: All the king’s horses and all the king’s men… But there was nothing there, just me, just him. Working over a corpse. Because that’s all that was left of the girl we both loved. This broken, bled-out, mangled corpse. We couldn’t put Bella together again.

AND I have to have my Edward quote: Do not say the word fine. If you value my sanity, do not say that you are fine.

Has Twilight taken over your life? Explain.
Ummmm completely. I spend most of my free time writing fanfic, reading fanfic, searching Robporn, and I cannot miss any appearances by cast or clips. My phone beeps every few minutes with new emails that have to do with Rob/twilight/or Fanfic. My alter ego Facebook must get like two hundred notifications a day.

I get upset if I miss something, or little jealous when I see the way Rob looks at Kristen. And it kinda hurts! And I know that can't be healthy but I find peace that I am not alone! 


Tell us anything else Twilighty about yourself that you would like to share.
Just that I have met the most awesome friends, and I wouldn't change a thing about all the awesome things I have gained from falling in love with the series and actors.


Me and some of my Twi friends: 
 100 Hundred Monkeys:
New Moon Screening with Pfach and Kellan
Me and Bobby Long in Philly:
The one pic is of my Signed Twi CD by Jackson the other is of Martha Plimpton on the set of Remember  Me. I have no pics from Fallon. ;( 



Note from Marie: You have had some amazing Twilighty experiences!!!!!  Thanks for sharing.  I hope you don't mind if I share a link to your FanFiction page.....you have some awesome stories!  I hope everyone heads over there to check them out!

The Summer House Out this Tuesday!

Here's and article I found on MTV's Hollywood Crush.  I'm really looking forward to seeing The Summer House.....the 60's is my favorite era, so I'm looking forward to seeing Rob dressed for that era! YUM!  In the article, she says the part he plays, Richard, is not such a nice guy.  I don't know why, but that seems to be a major turn on! I'm so into Fifty right now, can you tell? Although Fifty is a nice guy really .....wow, I am easily distracted! *ahem* Back to the Summer House.
The Summer HouseThe only Robert Pattinson project most people know from his pre-"Twilight" days is his small role in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" as Cedric Diggory, but as his popularity has grown, more of his earlier projects are getting wide release. The latest of those is the short film "The Summer House," which was filmed for a week back in the summer of 2006, but is only hitting film festivals and iTunes this year. You can watch the trailer here.
First-time director Daisy Gili said she actually cast Rob because she was recommended him by Campbell Mitchell, who had worked on props for another of his early projects, "The Haunted Airman."
"He said, this guy is amazing, and he's really nice, and I think he'd be really up for working on a short film," Gili told MTV News. "I saw a picture of him and I thought, he's fantastic."
Up until that point, Rob's costar Talulah Riley was best known for her work in Joe Wright's "Pride & Prejudice," and hadn't yet starred in her big hit, "Pirate Radio" (known as "The Boat That Rocked" in the UK). Gili hired a cast director to find her an actress to play the short's main character, Jane, and thought Talulah was the perfect fit.
"Talulah was amazing. The thing that I found most amazing about her was her versatility. You could give her a small amount of direction, and she would deliver a completely different but equally wonderful performance. I was like, wow," said Gili.
But it was the chemistry between the two that really helped the film work. At 13 minutes in length, "The Summer House" follows Jane as she flees to France to stay with her aunt after her boyfriend Richard (Rob) dumps her for another girl. However, he follows her to the summer house to try to win her back and, on the night of the moon landing, tries to make his move. The result of his efforts helps Jane realize that -- in Gili' words -- love isn't black and white.
It was necessary to Gili to have the film set on the night of the moon landing because she felt everyone remembers where they were the night man landed on the moon, but the night was important for Jane because she realized that love was different and more complicated than she had always imagined. "I think you needed [something as momentous as] the moon landing to kind of help the slightness of the story become stronger," she said.
Gili felt the character of Richard was a struggle for Rob, because he had to play someone so different from himself. "He's quite a gentle person. He's a really nice person. And he has to play quite a not very nice character, and I think he struggled with that," Gili said. "He wasn't playing a role that he was particularly comfortable with, but he still manages to have a real presence: brooding, slightly menacing. You're never quite sure whether he wants her because he wants to have sex with her or because he loves her. And I think he delivers that brilliantly."
After watching the short, we have to agree with her on Rob's performance, and "Twilight" fans will see a little bit of what would become Edward Cullen in Rob's portrayal of Richard. But, beyond the great acting, the set and costume design were our favorite parts of the film. The short is based on a short story of the same name, and Gili said they were able to film for free in the summer house that inspired the story.
The dresses are vintage 1960s as well because Gili borrowed them from her mother, though the gorgeous green dress Talulah wears at the end was a creation of their costume designer. The pearls she wears at the end of the film were borrowed by the French actress, Marianne Borgo, who plays her aunt in the film, just like Jane would have borrowed them from her aunt in the film.
"The Summer House" had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year, and is going to be offered for $1.99 on iTunes starting July 13 by Shorts International. It will next be shown at the Rushes Soho Short Film Festival later this month. But for anyone hoping to catch a sight of Rob promoting the short, Gili said she feels chances are slim. Many things have changed in the life of Robert Pattinson since he performed as Richard, and now he is much harder to get in contact with. In fact, Gili doesn't even know if he's seen the film, though she knows many of his fans want to.
"A whole variety of people are really interested, and I hope that they'll enjoy what they see. I hope they won't be disappointed that there isn't more of him, if you know what I mean," she said. "And I hope he enjoys it too! I've not heard back from him about it. I think his agent saw."
Are you planning on buying "The Summer House" when it comes out on iTunes? Do you like watching Robert Pattinson's earlier work before he worked on "Twilight"?
Here's the trailer

Yeah BABY!!!!!

Do you think they are taking advantage of the fact the Eclipse is WHITE HOT right now????  Don't they know us Rob fans better than that.  They should have hit us with this during one of our Rob dry spells.  No matter.....we'll eat this up with a spoon no matter how it is served to us, right? LOL

Hello Fifty, Goodbye Fifty, Hello again…

Yes I am speaking of THE Fifty… there is no one else. So the other day I decided to take another long journey through Master of the Universe and wouldn’t you know it... I have fallen for him even harder than before… it could possibly be due to the influence of Bleriana over at The Cold Shower. After seeing all of the Rob/Fifty pics she compiled in one place HERE. *thankyouthankyouthankyou* I nearly expired before I was through the story, again.



I only took one of the tame ones!
Source Bleriana @ thecoldshower

I don’t think I will ever understand why I love this messed up man sooo much. I find myself exasperated with Bella and frustrated with Fifty… I sometimes need to reign in my frustration and stop myself from shouting and throwing my computer.

I now know how the story ends and I am not sure if that adds to the frustration or not. I don’t want to give anything away and spoil the story for those of you that are still not through it yet *cough*Marie*cough* But I did spoil it for myself my first time reading MotU. I’m vanilla not completely vanilla though, think of me as a swirl, if you will, (that’s an ice cream cone that is a swirl of vanilla and chocolate together) I have a fairly dirty mind and mouth to match.

My first time through MotU I stopped at the first sign of trouble... it was chapter 14 to be exact, I couldn’t bear to click on next at the end of chapter 13. But, I needed to know where the story was going sooooooo... I did what any sane rational person would do… I read the last chapter of course. I was then frustrated and angry that I missed out on everything that happened between chapter 13 and the end, that is 74 CHAPTERS I missed out on people! SHOUTY CAPITALS! If you have finished the story or are more than half way through you will get this reference.

I’m glad I went back and read the story again and again. How can a girl not feel the pull of this strange man that needs some love and tender lovin’

I just felt the need to share with you all. If you haven’t read this story yet, I hope this might inspire you to read it. But I am warning you now: this story is NOT for the squeamish. But if you have read any ff before, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to you.

Laters, Baby


*Update- Here is the link to MotU
I'm a bad bloggy friend, how could I go on and on and not give you the link?

PS: Here are two other story's I thoroughly enjoyed

Clipped Wings & Inked Armor - This is on Twilighted so you will have to create a user name and log in

The University of Edward Masen - This one is not completed yet, but updates regularly.

Twilight Junkie Tuesday Featuring Bella D.

It's Twilight Junkie Tuesday, and this week we are getting to know Bella D.!  I have to tell you that Bella and I have so much in common,  both being teachers.  I love way she has been able to incorporate Twilight into her classroom and use it create learning experiences!  Take it away Bella.....


I'm a fourth grade teacher and I'd heard some of the older kids at school talking about and reading Twilight. I assumed it was a series much like Harry Potter and was glad they found something interesting to read. Last summer while I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room, an attractive, mature woman was sitting across from me reading Twilight, I was curious as to why she'd be reading a young adult book, so I asked if it was interesting. She said, "..this is so interesting I don't want to stop and talk to you..." So I thought I'd give it a shot and see what the fuss was about. I stayed up all that night with my new best friend, Bella Swan! And I haven't been the same since!

My entire family does know how deep an obsession I have with it all. They at first were confused by my new out look on life, I've become so filled with fun and a renewed sense of Joy, silly right? But the evidence was there for all of them to see. I seemed lighter somehow, open minded, more interested in what was going on all around me. I didn't want to hide it, I wanted to share my love for this saga so that everyone I knew would be filled with the same feeling I had. I had to hold back at times, because some of my friends and family thought I'd gone crazy, it was like I was trying to convert them into a religion, but I just wanted them to get as addicted as I was, I wanted to share and connect with the people I cared about. I didn't win everyone over, I have some "stuffy" coworkers who think it's not literary enough, I have a sister who just doesn't get it, so I have to hold back my enthusiasm when I'm with certain people so I don't annoy them with my wanting to always talk Twilight.

I'm a Team Edward, and at first it was all about the character. Edward is as you all know, the perfect man, devoted, humble, adorable,protective, and he's amused by Bella, and of course so handsome. But then I saw the movie and fell even deeper into the Rob/Edward spell. Even though Rob tries to hide some of his character traits, I sense he is very much like Edward in so many ways. There's just something about Edward and Rob that just lures you in, it truly is like falling in love. I remember that lure of true love how it was so strong, strange, and indescribable. Even though I can separate the character Edward and Robert, there's still something oddly compelling about them both. I would only share this with my fellow twi-hards as everyone outside our world would not understand this.

Like a mother asked to pick her favorite child, I just can't pick my favorite book. I love them all equally for their uniqueness, but so far I love New Moon the movie best, I know most people won't agree with me, but I loved how both Bella and Edward were displayed as being more mature having gone through this heartache, and I loved how beautifully filmed it was. Having said that, Eclipse sounds and looks to be much more exciting with a renewed sense of adventure and danger and of course all that romance. So, I image it will be the best so far.


If I ever met my favorite Twilight star Rob, I would reassure him that I can separate him from his character, and that I realize and appreciate his talent, and that although he's adorable, it is his artistic work that brought Edward to life for us all, and that I hope he will treat this role with the respect it deserves and not worry about whether it will define him as an artist, it's obvious he will go beyond Edward and continue on his artistic path.

I wouldn't replace anyone in the twilight world. They are like a family, some stronger than others but all of them beloved.

I've read each of the books three times, working on four as we speak. Can't help it, I need to visit with this characters every so often.

I have so many Twilight items people have given me, some to thank me for getting them into this delicious world. I've gotten thank you notes that would make you cry they are so sweet with appreciation. My husband bought me most of the items, and my 21 year old son gave me an Edward pillow case "so I can sleep with Edward"


The craziest thing I've done is to decorate the teacher's bathroom with posters and life size Edward, or maybe the craziest is having a "self-selected" reading group of fourth graders all reading Twilight, or maybe having my student teachers addicted that they created a math lesson with team Edward/Jacob as a math data lesson, or when my students gave me a surprise birthday party with Twilight as a theme, cake and all. I'll try to download pictures of these. (Note from Marie: I really wish I could do this at my school!!!!)



It's hard to pick a favorite song, I love most of them, but I love Let Me Sign and Never Think because Rob sang them and they went nicely with the scenes, but I loved Flightless Bird,American Mouth too!

My favorite quotes are; Twilight;"I may not be human, but I am a man." NM; Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night..." Eclipse;I'll be back so soon..look after my heart-I've left it with you." BD;So, you seduced your all-too-willing husband. That's not a capital offense."

Twilight has taken over my life, in so far as I find myself always referring to it at home, in school etc. it has helped me make connections to my students, new and old friends, it's even made me more patient with my husband who was my original Edward. Twilight has taken over my life in a positive way, I can't wait to go on line and see what's new, who's said what...


As you can tell, this whole new world of twilight has opened me up in ways that seem magical somehow, I know that sounds dramatic, but it's so out of character for me, a 50 something mother, wife, and teacher to become so obsessed with this mythical twilight world. But for something that is based on "make believe" I'm here to say it has positively helped me connect to the real world in a peaceful and fun way.

Our Amazing, Epic, Eclipse Saturday With 17 Forever Lisa and Mama Cougar

Hey all you Twilight Junkies!  Did you have a good 4th of July weekend???  Kassie and I did because we had an Amazing, Epic, Eclipse Saturday, thrown in there.  We are really excited to share the awesome time we had meeting some of our Bloggy Buddies, the amazing 17 Forever Lisa and Mama Cougar!!!!!


We decided to get a bunch of Twi-Junkies together to go see Eclipse in IMAX.  I invited Lisa to join us.  I realize she is like 3 hours away, but I figured, hey, at least we are in the same state! LOL  She accepted my invitation (YAY!!!!) and to my delight, said she was bringing another one of our awesome bloggy buddies, Mama Cougar!  I've seen what these two fab chicks get up to when they are together, so I knew it was going to be a great time!  If you don't believe me....click here!


Our little Eclipse outing evolved into something a bit more.  I figured since we had all these Twilight peeps getting together, we might as well chow down and all that.  So we had a pot luck kind of lunch at my house before we went to the movie.  I made some pulled pork, and cheesecake.  Kassie made kick-ass taffy apple salad and brought some spinach dip.  My sister made her potato salad, which is so freaking good, there are no words to describe it.  My sister-in-law brought some sinful brownies.  Kristen brought the chips and cole-slaw. Of course it was all served on Eclipse plates [Kassie's Note: I put the food on Bella's face, needed to keep Robwards face perfect]!!!!


Lisa and Mama Cougar arrived bearing gifts.  Amazing gifts!!!!
 MC brought me a bottle of Vampire Wine, which Mini E is digging!
Lisa brought me FSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
and it is in her signature B/W, which I absolutely LURV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still keep looking at it longingly and can't believe his is mine! LOL

Of course I have to mention that seeing Robward on a full blown, 5 story IMAX screen was HOT!!!  The close ups of him in the meadow, the proposal and the tent were SQEEEEEE worthy!  GAH!!!!!
I hope that our wonderful guests had a fantastic time because we sure did!  Big thanks again to Lisa and MC for making their respective drives to come hang with us.  Kassie and I definitely would love to do this again, and maybe have more time to hang and have a few adult beverages [let's get our drink on]!

Calling All Robsten fans!

Hey Robsten fans

I hope you will be happy with stopping by today.

So I was just watching Kristen on the George Lopez show from two/three nights ago (Wednesday to be exact). I missed it the first time around (I honestly didn't know she was on and I watched PFach on Jimmy Kimmel instead), so I got myself caught up by watching her interview online.

So why am I calling Robsten fans??? Well... because during Kristen's interview she was telling George all about her animals. He must know a lot about her considering her dad works on the show. Kristen was talking about her cat, his name is Max but she calls him Jella (I hope I heard and am spelling it right), her cat is from the Bengal family. During her interview with David Letterman (God he was such a Jackass) she talked about her pet wolf.

What does this have to do with Robsten? GET TO IT ALREADY, right!?!... Well if you watch the video just after the 4:00 mark she says that people don't understand why she has these animals that are wild and in a very British sounding accent she says "You've got wild animals, what is wrong with you?" So watch it and let me know what you think. Does this mean that Rob has been to her house and met these animals??? Do you think this means, if its true, that he is possibly afraid of them??? Hmmmm Hmmmm.. and if it is true could this mean that he spends mucho time at her house; which leads ME to believe they are together. Its not like she tried to do a Taylor Lautner accent, or a PFach accent or any of the other cast for that matter. She also talked about cooking for 'some' of the cast.

By the way.. even if you are not interested in Robsten *whispers I'm new to this whole Robsten thing and don't know how I really feel about it* watch Kristen's interview with George, she seems quite relaxed and is funny too. This is probably one of the best interviews she has done... besides getting a few digs into David Letterman during her interview with him (which makes me like her even more).

PS: George Lopez did a whole week of Twilight guests and they all showed off hidden talents they have. Kristen juggled, Peter played La Bamba on the guitar and sang a little, Julia Jones threw a football at Rob (a FSE to be exact), BooBoo did martial arts, Charlie Bewley threw a rugby ball at Rob (also a FSE), Elizabeth danced, and Billy Burke did a tooth pick bar trick. I suggest watching all their interviews and hidden talents.
