Yes I Would Like a Souvenir from FOOORRKKKSSS

I've been spending some time dreaming about all the lovely souvenirs that could be found in FOORRKKSSS (not sure if I spelled that the right way and with enough enthusiasm) So sure, no one offered to bring me back a souvenir and I understand everyone who is going is excited and busy packing but I have no problem speaking up on my behalf.

So just in case anyone thinks to get me something, here is a list of things that would just complete the Twilight experience for me.

First up, I'd like some peat moss from this tree:

If I could just have a handful of gravel you know RPattz walked over.

from here...

and here...

Bottle me a jar of that sunshine that was shining on him.

I don't normally support being a thief but if that microscope were to accidently break then the only one it would be good to is me.

Take your chainsaw!

I'm gonna need that branch! I want it to exist a little closer by in my world!

Bring your shovel!
I'mma really need that rock his fingers were resting upon.

It shouldn't take more than 2 hours to dig it up.

I love mountain lion spring water! Bottle me up some!

And one jar of Forks fog! It's nature's friend to vampires.

Now I've been thinking about how my house could use some renovating.

First up, I'd really need to upgrade the windows in my house, starting
with the bedroom.
I think this would be the perfect replacement window. 

Be sure to get the frame for it too!

And I'm knocking down walls so I'll need new ones. Either from

Bella's room above or this wall.

That has to be one hell of a strong wall, after all, he leaned up
against it in the hospital.

Now on to more fun stuff!

This looks like a cool place for my 40th birthday party.

So can anyone check into prices, availability, and a catering menu, oh, and find out if

they do theme parties with certain British celebrities.

And fish me some one of those noisy frogs from the pond.

I'd make them a pond outside my house so I can hear frogs croaking outside every time I play "Flightless Bird."

but NO WORMS, please!! Ewwww. Leave them in Forks along with Eric!

 And just a few extra thoughts.

If I could get two cans of Vitamin R beer I could set them up to have the "R" align do you think

I could experience "being tripped out" just like

Catherine Hardwick. Or do you think I would need to smoke a joint first?

Also, as you can imagine, I love those little bottles.

I think Buttcrack Santa had a stash of them somewhere

by his boat prbably left undisturbed.

 How cool would it have been

if the blood-sucking vamps were SO BADASS that they

drank alcohol?

And last, but not least,

this would be THE BEST FORKS SOUVENIR EVER so

I would love for someone to pick me up

this guy:

Promise him redemption and send him my way!

To everyone going to Forks,

Be Safe

in your travels everyone

even if that means

wearing your butt padding!

Morning UK-TV interview with Rob about Twilight

Okay, obviously I missed this interview the first time around because we all know my pathetically sad story of how I missed Twilight in theaters. Also, this from UK morning television.

Kudos to this host who is just so unaffected by Rob's presence and seems so oblivious to the whole story of Twilight and how it came about from Stephenie. I sort of envy her--you know the fact that she is able to breathe and think all coherent thoughts.

Rob talks about the Twilight fans and the insanity of the phenomenon and hiding under hats.

And he says, "fingers in the pudding." Oh my Rob.

We all know what he is up to these days, so it is really kind of neat to hear what he said early on about the movie, the books, the fame, the increasing popularity, and how he would like fans to react when seeing him in public, which is to not react to him at all. I don't know, but don't I get any say in that if it were me seeing him on the street?

mini-TT has been singing her heart out lately. It was too cute not to record and share.

Enjoy! -kiTT

Toward

I read a sentence this morning that began "Toward..."

My mind read it as "Toe-Ward."

Can you say someone reads too much fanfiction?

Is there a Toe-Ward? As in sucks blood and toes? just wondering.
Perhaps it should be Tow-Ward as in a schmexy tow-truck driver? just wondering.

Rob did it.

Kristen did it.

Taycob felt left out and wanted you to know that he can rock the yellow-lettered message on a

t-shirt too!

Looks like Taylor moonlights as security personnel

when Dean takes a day off!

(what'd you think it meant?)

Happy Weekend!

Edward's Bright Side of the Moon

Wait for it @ 1:02

Wishing Robward a Forever's Worth of Good Hair Days!

Don't hide the hair under the hat too much Rob!

Hair is like flowers.

 It needs water and sunshine to make it grow!

Come tumble with me:

Enjoy Your Job, Enjoy your Rob

Remember how much Tyler enjoyed his job in Remember Me?

Did you consider the idea of Tyler working at your college library?

If I knew Tyler worked at my college library I would have been there everyday studying him. Mom and Dad, I really would have been at the library when I said I was.

Let's profile some books because I dig that freaky poetic crap.

Of book bindings and biceps.

Smiling in the stacks.

Can I just hand over my library card, check him out along with a copy of Twilight, and return in two weeks? Oh hell, he'd be worth paying overdue fees for--make it three weeks.

Did you ever go to a particular place you knew a guy worked to try to see him?

Tell me in the comments.

If Rob came...to my neck of the woods.

Ohhh Rob's neck. Necking in the woods...Neckkid....wha..what is the subject again?

What is a neck of the woods? I looked up the definition.

A neck is defined as a:

narrow, elongated, projecting

strip of land.

hmmmm...kind of like Florida or Long Island...wait I thought that was a penisula.

Anyway, well if you were in town, Rob, I could surely be selfish about what I would like to do to you...errr..I mean with you.

My first thoughts....errr, make that my second ...no wait...third...well let's just go with somewheres way down on the list of thoughts about you coming visiting would be to take you to the local University. (not at all inspired by Profward or anything) You know how those old universities are so rich in history with such beautiful architecture. But then I was like "Smart college girls are TOTAL fangirls" and with school back in session, that would never do!!! You could be seriously swarmed and hurt and very nearly taken away from me and what little precious time we had together. 

I might have that problem anywhere I take you.

Maybe you should just hang out by the pool for a bit with eWard.

Sparkle, sparkle in the sun.

Then again it is getting kind of cold outside and we don't want any George Costanza shrinkage moments, so that might not be the best idea.

Still, for your privacy, I thought would be to just take a stroll in the back yard. It is a shame because it is a bit more meadowesque in the springtime but it is private and would give you a chance to just walk, run around a bit, and really enjoy the fresh air.

{wow, I'm really uncomfortable with all these pervy thoughts mixed in with the innocence of a child...but then again...}

And trust me, nothing puts you in a better mood than running around outside with nothing but peace and quiet and a three-year-old.

We could even re-enact some of the magic of the baseball scene in Twilight. I'll do the Emmett dance and say his line to you, "Babe, come on, it's just a game." (Oh you thought I was going to call you that other name Kellan did, didn't you?)

You're from England, I love France. Peak-a-boo, I see your ...
lower back!

(Oh but watch out for the deer poop and the rabbit poop and the snakes) If you ended up with deer poop on your clothes, you could just take them off and let me....

Errrr....wait where was I? Oh right, I'd wash your clothes for you. Okay that is only if necessary.

And I got off the subject of my neck of the woods.

Soooo.... I was still concentrating on you and that word "neck"  And I made a seriously genius connecktion!!!

What is dear to your heart, always with you, has a "neck" and is NOT a person...

That's right handsome! Your guitar!

As long as you are up for a road trip and don't mind helping out with holding up the EZ PASS, I say we take one! I love road trips. They make me want to hold hands and do a happy jig with Jackson and Mohawtie Jerad:

What's that you want me to come do "London Bridge Is Falling Down" with you two?

I'll be your shared fair lady!

So Rob, I'd pack us up in my mama's hot rod and...oh sh*t, you like the vintage cars, I forgot!!! For you, I'd probably be able to swing the keys to a '63 Avanti and drive us on over to...

 Martin's Guitar Museum

 in beautiful Nazareth, PA.

Not only do you get to see some famous guitars on display there but they still have a factory and you can see how guitars are made. It is the perfect mix of your love for musicians and your love for playing the instrument! And it is a nice quiet place where we won't be hassled.

And for further enticement, let's remember what famous musicians have used the Martin guitar:

Elvis

Sting

Clapton

Mr. ATP

(*wink,wink*)

Rick Nelson

(aka father of Gunnar and Matthew Nelson)

Johnny Cash

Sounds great, right?

Then when we return to my house, I will bake you some white chocolate chip cookies or how about a fall cake? Pumpkin cake with caramel pecan icing?

because I'm all hospitable like that.

And then I would just ask you to make yourself at home.

And if Mr. ATP isn't home yet, feel free to try out all of his guitars.

Of course, once the toddler comes home, you should know that you will be TOLD WHAT TO DO, as in what songs to sing and how to sing them. She'll probably request "Chokin' on the Dust" but she'll clap for you, shower you with kisses, and ask if you want to give her a present for her success at potty training.

Then, she'll probably subject you to a tea party.

and playing with Twilight paper dolls...

And be prepared to for an explanation as to why Edward sparkles that goes something like this...

Edward goes outside and Tinkerbell comes and sprinkles fairy dust on him and then he sparkles! And Jacob Black is Bella's best friend. He is smart and has pet wolves. Jasper is my special friend.

I gotta tell you, it all sounds pretty good to me.

Call me!

I'm sure you would never want to visit anywhere else but if you do, your future stops might be

Which Ward Deserved Forgiveness?

Have you seen DangrDafne's post? She talks about granting forgiveness to others as a way to heal oneself.

Well I happened to be on Facebook last night to check in on pictures of a friend and his new baby. While I was there I decided to look up some people from my past, possibly those that I needed to forgive.

I have good news. And good news.

Want the good news first?

My "forever crush" is on there....finally!!! This gives me hope that he is home from serving in the military and is just fine. The only bad news is there is no picture of him up there and no details for me to see. Okay I'm not 100% sure it is him, but he spelled his name a particular way and so that gives me some hope. No forgiveness need with Forever Crush. Just want to know he is alive and well and living his life.

Next, for some good news.

Another guy from my past is finally on there. Throw in some Fifty f*ckedupitedness and some Profward I'm-smart-but-have-a-f*Cked-up-history with the bravado of Mafiaward and a sprinkle of I-don't-see-myself-clearly original Edward and may I present this guy. Let's call him "James."

{He was only good looking if you like tall, lots of brown hair, broad, and smoky blue eyes.  What can I say? Apparently I've always had this Rob Pattinson type thing going and just didn't know what to call it.}

And despite all that, I think he really wanted to be a better version of himself. He could get very down on himself. Only I was not the "Bella" that inspired him to deal with his past, give it all up, and become that better person...

OMG!! Is that why we like the stories we all seem to like in FanFiction and even in Twilight? We are all told, "you can't try and change a guy" but why do we like the stories of the bad boy who is just changed by  love?

Even in Twilight, Edward changed the night he watched Bella sleeping in her room (detailed in Midnight Sun). Despite how he perceived himself as a monster and unworthy of love, it was an inexplicable change that overcame him based out of his new found love for Bella.

I guess I have grown up loving this recurring storyline:

Danny and Sandy in Grease

Johnny and Baby in Dirty Dancing

Dylan and Brenda on BH, 90210

Edward and Vivian  in Pretty Woman

Definitely some of my favorites!

So getting back to "James." As I thought about what I had read in DangrDafne's post about forgiveness and reflected on those days, I realized that there was a part of him that he clearly needed to heal within himself whatever that was rooted in his family or childhood.

I truly hope he has been able to do so. 

In all of the above mentioned stories, there is a part to the stories where forgiveness comes into play. Basically the guy ends up acting like a jerk and seeks forgiveness.

Danny dancing with Cha Cha Degregorio--Sandy forgave him.

Dylan cheated on Brenda with Kelly--Brenda forgave him.

Edward treated Vivian like a hooker--she forgave him.

Fifty inflicted real red room pain on Bella forcing her to leave, but she forgave him.

Profward stopped talking to Bella in order to save her reputation as a student and not have her expelled from the university. Even though she felt abandoned by him, she forgave him.

Mafiaward kept tons of secrets from Bella and was always flying off the handle, but she forgave him.

Edward left to protect Bella in New Moon, but she forgave him.

Yep, we like our forgiveness and second chances in our stories and real life too. Did they all deserve it?

As for "James"...well based on his Facebook picture, the years have not been kind to him. And his girlfriend in the picture...let's face it, resembles me. {I wish I was joking here!} I'm guessing at his age he has YET to find his "Bella" so how could I not forgive him?

Here's a great "Goodbye to You" video {for you James} to put you in a forgiving mood.

You didn't think Edward forgot to bring Bella home a piece of her own birthday cake did you?

Don't forget in the book, Edward slept over that night!

On this day, I choose to believe...

I know most of us wrestled a bit with the idea of the movie Remember Me. 

I understand.

Was the writer trying to "Sixth Sense" us with the ending?

Was the writer trying to "Titanic" us with the love story based around a historical tragedy?

Both of those movies experienced an incredible amount of popularity. Perhaps the author was hopeful of achieving the same amount of popularity by tapping into their formulas. 

Let's face it, striving to achieve popularity exists way beyond high school. But I've listened to Rob being interviewed regarding this movie, and I don't see where he has ever chose it strategically for ratings. I can't see where he has chosen any role based on the potential of a film's popularity, competition, or rooted out of some thought like what a blockbuster and moneymaker this is going be.

I choose to believe Rob picked this role in an effort to pay tribute to the lives of the victims of 9-11, not to diminish their sacrifice.

I choose to believe this movie is meant to remind us that each person who died that day had their own story to tell--a life not to be defined just by how they died.

I choose to believe that when I watch this film it is a silent celebration of the lives of those people who very innocently died that day --their only crime that day was going to work, being on a plane, or trying to rescue their fellow Americans. 

I choose to remember a lot of the good I saw after that day with people helping others, companies helping individuals, prayer vigils held, prayer chains circulated, special church services held.

I choose to always be sure to say a few extra kind words to the young adults I know who lost their fathers that day when I see them. I recognize the sadness in their eyes they carry around with them.

I choose to believe that someday all of the people behind the attacks of 9-11 will be found and punished for their jealousy and hatred of us and our way of living.

I choose to believe Remember Me is a reminder to celebrate life.

I choose to encourage you to draw some inspiration from Remember Me in order to celebrate your own life story, give homage to the life stories of those that died that day, and to simply remember that day in your own private way.

I chose to make a video. Hope you enjoy the message.

That's all there is. I hope it is enough.

I'm still working out the hiccups when it comes to 

making a video.

A Video Msg From Rob and some Texan thoughts

Looks like the message is just for me, which is good, considering I fell down the robbit hole today and sure the world seems a little different but I kind of like this alternate reality. I had no idea he was still holding out hope and getting all caught up in memories of me. I don't mind, but I hope he can move on and be happy...sort of.

So I have 3 friends in Texas that have popped in on this blog before to support me but they are not huge fans of Rob though all have agreed they understand why I think he's hawt.

So I email the three and yell, "Hey my boyfriend is hanging out in Lubbock. Let me know if you hear of any good stories!"

Here are the answers I received in return:

1.  One mentions Rob not but tells me she is moving into a new place and trying to sell her house. She is clearly in love with her guy!!!

2.  One tells me she is over 400 miles away and surely thinks I will hear news about Rob before she does (she's kind of right, isn't she?)

3. One tells me the story of baby Jessica, the little girl that fell down the well years ago. (I think she thought I didn't know the story, which I did.)

So I recite this story to Mr. ATP, and as is normal with my musician husband, this is the response I get:

"You know what else is in Lubbock? Buddy Holly's grave. I've been there with the guys in the band. If your boy is a real musician, he'll pay some respect."

Have you guys seen TWiREDs post today? See it here.

It tells of a fan running into Rob at the Buddy Holly Museum. I guess this means Rob gets the Mr. ATP stamp of approval by default. Works for me!!! 

Have fun on your road trip Rob, but don't go finding any keys to your chain locks! Those chains you wear will always be special! Be sure not to share them. I'll keep looking for them now that I know.

"Oh we oh, you look just like Buddy Holly. Ohh oh, and I'm your Mary Tyler Moore. I don't care what they say about us anyway. I don't care about that."

-kiTT

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the clips or music

used in the above video. It was my first attempt at making a video.

One Thing About Rob is Perfectly Clear...

As I peruse pictures of Rob that span over the years and see him in more of his movies, one thing is always perfectly clear to me....

Can you guess what it is?

(come on, I gave you a clue! And not a Corbin clue, either)

...his skin.

From the time he was a teenager

until now...

Have you ever seen this boy sport a less than flawless complexion?

I guess you could tell me he has a pretty strict morning and bedtime facewashing routine that includes some trendy facial soap, astringment, and a Buff Puff. Ummmm, the boy can't even do laundry, so I doubt that somehow he remembers to pull out the Neutragena every night before he goes to bed. He probably just uses whatever little white hotel bar soap has been provided and that's enough for him, while the rest of us are forced to pack our specialty facial scrubs and particular soaps the likes of Neutrogena, Dove, Ivory, Stridex, Avon, Oil of Olay, or whatever product we like to use on our face and skin if we are traveling, right? Several of you are going to Forks--tell me you won't be packing along your special facial soap. 

Now I'll tell you that I don't have perfect skin.

No one does...except Rob, apparently.

I wear too much caked-on makeup and I break out, even if it is hypoallergenic.

Not Rob.

I drink too much soda, and I break out.

Rob? Nooooooooooooo, not him. 

I get dressed up for an outside event in the summer and end up sweating from the heat and sun, I break out right along the hairline.

Nope, not Rob.

I'm telling you...

No zits.

No pimples.

No acne.

And not just on his face, either.

That back of his is a beautiful, clear landscape for playing connect the moles, not zits!

(And good thing I tell ya cuz that __________ of his looks like a pimple popper!)

Does he even realize this whole other all-natural level of perfection about himself?

In closing, I wanted to clear something up with my bloggy buddies Kelly @ mydiscomROBulation, Donna @itsroblated, and Jeanette @ Robmusement who have been making little claims here and there to different parts and spots of Rob--his neck mole, his upper back, et cetera. But I think I'll just go ahead and claim his skin and all it encompasses, making your previous claims moot.

 Skin as clear as...

As the clearest ocean water!

 

"Oh no! I think I'm developing a zit on my neck. Can you even get zits on your neck?"
 Ummm, yeah, Rob people can. Not you though, obviously.

That's not a zit, either!

Isn't it ironic Alanis that Rob's complexion is a blend of how Stephenie Meyer described both Edward and Bella? Smooth, marble white for Edward and a lovely pink blush for Bella.

Rob, your skin is very Belward for now, but be sure to take care of it--after all, I've claimed it.
Just try to find a picture of him with a blemish!
I couldn't.

Off to wash my face and go to bed, chickadees!
