Birthday Art In the Afternoon
To commemorate the birthday of RPFangirlJR, a very special wing will be available today for viewings in the Museum of FanGirl Art!!
If you'll just wait here Fangirl in this luxurious lobby,
your tour guide should be along shortly. Admission is free today due to this holiday so anyone else who has found their way here today, feel free to tag along on this tour.
"I'm here. I'm here. *mumbles with accent hate that bloody boss*
"Uhhh, yeah, I forgot my uniform. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, Happy Birthday, RPFangirl. I'm Art.
No, really that's my name and I work at a Fangirl Museum. I know, it's rather pathetic, isn't it? Well, I have this life coach named Jeanette, and she told me I should get a job. She said I'm really good at talking so she thought this would be a good fit. I dunno. You see I have this music thing, but it's not going so well. Oh hey, I have a gig on Tuesday if you want to come. It's on Tuesday...Tuesday, if you can make it. Uhhh, normally no one really shows, but you know if you want you can come. Yeah, okay.
So, let's get started. You're really quite lucky, actually. They only open this wing of the museum up on very special occasions and for real VIP types. So before we leave this room, I'm supposed to point out the painting on the wall. Self portrait of the big shot who funded this wing...Rob something or another. I get the distinct pleasure of calling him my boss. Not that I ever see the guy. He spends his days in his penthouse being painted into paintings. Must be nice.
Follow me."
"So you'll probably recognize this one. Why anyone wants to celebrate how rainy London is, is beyond me. It's depressing enough. Oh, and by the way, that's that Rob guy in there. He's easily missed in this one so I'm required to point him out. Second umbrella from the left."
"Okay next up, a gar-dun party."
"And what do you know, look who's there. This guy
is unbelievable! I suppose you like it though. All the serious fangirls do--the thought of this guy dressed up for a garden party eating his grapes, cheese, and gar-dun burgers. This one is called Fangirls at the Garden Party. Notice the lady in the yellow hat staring at him? Oh yeah, that's supposed to be a metador...no wait a metaphor for you. Gazing at him from afar.
*mumbles arrogant sod under his breath"
"You might recognize this, it's The Persistence of Rob in Your Memories. According to fangirls, he's just there swirling around in your thoughts morning, noon, and night--especially if you've seen him in person.
*mumbles riiiiiiiight"
"Ahh, now this is my favorite. The Screaming Rob! I mean it should just be a little more bloody acceptable and politically correct in life to just go out and scream once and a while, show a little frustration. Not that I believe Mr. Charmed Life ever gets frustrated over much."
"I don't even know what to say about this one. The guy has a bit of a G-d complex I think and it's like he just had to enter the chiseled arm competition. Let's keep moving on, shall we?"
"Oh here we go. Finally, one that's not him."
*Art pulls a piece of paper out of his back pocket. *
"I see, according to the notes, this one was brought in special just for your birthday. It says it is called
Keep Awake
*chuckles*
"I like this one. If I was that lady I'd sleep with one eye open."
"And, we are coming to the end of the room. The big fangirl finale of sorts. And this one is called 'Old Timer.'"
*laughs himself silly*
"No actually, this is called 'Timeless Rob' so make of that what you will. And so that is it and concludes our birthday tour!
No wait, Fangirl, don't open that door!! Noooooooo, it's...well I'm not sure if you are supposed to see what's in there. Bloody hell I haven't even been in that room yet. Come back. That's the newest LostImmortal exhibit but it's strictly by invite only!"
"Oh, I see you have a ticket from the exhibit patron. She has quite an extensive collection and has loaned the museum a few portraits from it. Okay, well it's your birthday so get on with it and take a look."
*pulls out notes*
"Yes I believe I have some info on this."
Number 1. Exhibit will be only black/white portraits.
Number 2. Photos based on J/E Fanfiction
*looks up from notes and scratches head*
"J/E Fanfiction, what the hell is that?"
Number 3. Artist is LostImmortal and the exhibit is sponsored by the affluent socialite @17ForeverLisa.
"Wait a minute, isn't that the Keep Awake guy?"
"Guess they are buddies. Maybe in a band together or something."
"Ohhhh, okay. So are they brothers? They look like they crack on each other a lot."
"Wait...wait a minute, that doesn't look like brothers!"
"Uhhhh, I don't really know what to say..."
(At this time RPFangirl takes a moment to explain to poor naive Art exactly what this exhibit is about.)
"Really? No, really? Well okay then, I think we'll just get back on track wit the rest of the scheduled tour."
*Art makes a mental note to himself to check out J/E Fanfiction and wonders if there is any 'Art' Fanfiction as he escorts Fangirl out and closes the door behind him.*
"Okay so we are just going to continue heading down the hall back toward the lobby."
*looks over notes again*
"Oh, and so I'm just supposed to read this to you.
Dear Fangirl,
We hope you enjoyed your trip through the
special wing of the Museum of Fangirl Art.
blah, blah, blah, blah-blah, blah, blah
On behalf of the entire staff at the museum, I
wish you a very Happy Birthday.
As you exit the Fangirl Wing and return to the lobby,
someone will be awaiting
to escort you to the next wing of the museum.
*mumbles oh f*ck to himself*
*Art calls out after Donna, who has already bolted out the door with Rob.*
"Donna? Donna?
Goodbye Donna! Don't forget about my show...on Tuesday."
Wishing you a wonderful day!!!

**And obviously, I couldn't have done this post without the help of Jeanette. She
made the really seemless-looking non J/E pictures and I did the rest. So tip your
Bel Ami black top hat to Jeanette for her skillz!**

I've Been Holding Out...
on sharing something. So once again, Munkee (Emily) made me something really cool out of the generosity of her heart! If you never saw the most awesome Robert Pattinson totebag in the world she made me click here. I'm very protective of it.
Over the summer, one of my fav followers and more-recent fellow FF reader, Munkee, emailed me to tell me she is working on a new creation. There was discussion about my favorite picture of Rob and then I was very excited. This is what Munkee made:

Isn't it cute? It's made of fabric and it is a small case for whatever I choose to put in it.
Much to my surprise, there was a second one she included with a picture we hadn't discussed and she included a note that said there was one to keep for myself and share the other with a RL friend.
Check this one out!
But the back is really cool too!!!
Share this? Like just give it away?
Well sometimes you gotta draw a line in the sand!!
Dearest Munkee-- I've never been more happy to say that I have no RL friends who would love and appreciate this Rob-inspired creation as much as me, so I'll just have to keep this for myself, thank you very much!
*X*O*X*O*
So I had thrown it out there on my last post that there was an actress who suddenly reminded me of Kristen as far as that awed facial expression. Lots of Jodie Foster guesses...but nope.
It is actually Meg Ryan.
Check out @54 seconds! Kristen totally does that shaking her head as if to to clear it and runs her hands through her hair move in Twilight in her bedroom. Right? About three things I was certain...
Think about Meg in 'City of Angels' and how dazzled she always looked by an uninvited supernatural being that was Nicholas Cage, (of rumored real-life vampire fame. Coincidence?) who fell in love with a human and was willing to become human for her if he could. And then there is that whole drama with him having to face her dying...
Wow, that story sounds really familiar, huh?

Does Anyone Else See 'it'?
IMPORTANT! Please Read: This post is not intended to be commentary on the personal nature of the past, current, or future status of the relationship between Rob and Kristen.
Whew! Now that we got that out of the way...
If anything, it is commentary on how deeply imbedded the images associated with Twilight are in my mind. [read as: how disturbed pathetically obsessed I've come to be]
It is also possible that I have figured out a uniqueness amongst Twilight fans. I mean what is 'it' that ties us all together? You know that old thing how we only use 10% of our brains? It might be possible that, if you let it, Twilight helps you tap into maybe an extra 2% to 5% above and beyond that original 10%.
Yes that is how I am going to explain this....some special synapses going off in our heads that generate that extra 5%. I'm completely satisfied with that answer.
After Brad Pitt's interview on the Today show, I watched a little blurb (here) about the he said / she said of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston yesterday and saw this picture:
which immediately made me think of this exact picture:
Do you see 'it' too....whatever 'it' is? It's not something I need to totally define beyond just
a complete in-the-moment enthusiasm.
(Beyond that, I will let you draw your own conclusions in comparing the two! LOL)
Have I gotten completely wired up with Twilight?
Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there.
You'll never guess which 90s actress I was watching in a movie recently and thought, "OMG, that is such the #WinningBellaLook." Then I thought over a bunch of her movies and found a lot of similarities in how she displayed that look of awe, wonder, and confusion.
Hint: They worked together at least once in a movie.
And side note....It's the End of the world as we know it.
That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion.
REM BROKE UP???
Well if you believe they put a Man on the Moon, then I believe there will be a reunion tour eventually.
Thank you REM! Your songs will be forever tied to some great memories for me!
And even great memories for my daughter!
She loved this episode!
"Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad..." It's like a Breaking Dawn theme song for Jacob. (LMAO, WHOOPS I did it again didn't I?)
**Happy Weekend**

Twilight: Let's Get Graphic!
Are you planning on buying the Twilight Graphic Novel Volume II?
I love Volume I, but I admit that I wasn't sure if I would. I dunno, it just seemed like why do I need to read this as a comic book when I already love the books and the actors portraying them in the movie? And yet I found that reading it gave me a 'new and different Twilight experience.' I didn't hear the voices of Rob or Kristen or the voices I hear while reading Twilight. I heard a darker, more mysterious lower Edward voice and a slightly high-pitched, hesitant younger, very girly Bella with long flowy hair.
I decided I enjoyed that these artist renderings were not copies of the actors or the movies. Turns out, I crave new perspective on the Saga and little new nuances or surprises. Sort of like how I watch New Moon and think, "Okay this time Edward won't leave!" Right, you do it too? You just want a little change every now and then. A little surprise...that's what I found with the graphic novel.
One of my favorite surprises was the equivalent to page 230 in the Twilight book chapter 11, Complications. In the book Edward has declared it would be his turn to ask questions and he walks Bella to classes all the while constantly quizzing her. From Midnight Sun we know that just before this point he was still very hesitant to touch her. Believe me, he wants to, but he is worried about her being fragile and how she will react to his cold stone skin.
But the graphic novel shows them holding hands as they walk through the halls, which definitely made my heart sigh. When it comes to Twilight it just takes so little!
So if you haven't yet gotten the graphic novel, I highly recommend it!
And I am really looking forward to Volume II!
I didn't comprehend to total meaning of the cover picture of Bella on Volume I until the picture for the second volume was released and then I realized it was them in the meadow. (yeah I'm slow!) So now I say, if anyone ever sees where this is being sold as a poster, please let me know because I think I would like to have it.
Isn't it pretty? Don't you just sigh to think of the meadow scene here? If you truly love the story and characters, then I think this is a wonderful addition to your book collection.
On another note, big Congrats to the Phillies!!!!!
Edward is happier about their winning than he looks!!! He just doesn't like hats messing up his perfect hair.
Tell me your impression of the graphic novel, if you have it, in the comments!!!

Remembrance
Made by @17foreverLisa (thank you!)
In tribute because I think we all still seek comfort over what happened, but don't overlook the fact that you can offer comfort to others--even if they are just moments of comfort.
I think it's important to reassure the family and friends that their lost loved ones' fingerprints don't fade from the lives they've touched.
I made a video last year for my bloggy friends that I never went in and tried to edit or work more on my video skills but the message still holds true. To revisit that video go here.
I find comfort in the Remembrance ceremonies.
May you find moments of comfort today.
