How Rob Pattinson Invaded (& hopefully continues to invade) My Dreamscape

So last night marked #4 on my personal list of 'How Many Rob Dreams I Have Had". I wish I could remember what I did or ate last night, just so I can dream that way every night! :-0




Since my memory often escapes me, I thought I'd jot down what I could remember from each dream:



1. THE REPORTER DREAM: My Twi-Partner-In-Crime (aka my niece Megan) and I were at a press junket in the woods (don't ask) and had been told Rob was currently being interviewed inside this tent. So we came up with the bright idea that we stake out the back entrance of the tent (and when I say tent I mean a large camping tent, not one of those fancy event tents!). As we were busy talking each other's ear off, I see a poorly disguised Rob snake his way out of the tent and duck past us. I called him on it, but he kept walking like he didn't hear me. This was a funny, but disappointing dream! :(




2. THE DATE DREAM: I'm convinced that I had this dream out of my fear of running into Rob one day while looking completely tore up! haha We were on his movie set (although never mentioned in the dream, looked much like his "Remember Me" movie set in that it was identical to an NYC street location) and were sitting in those cast director chairs watching playbacks on the monitors. We were both totally decked out, as if we were going on a dinner date afterwards. We were laughing and joking in between takes and giving those touchy feely love taps. Good Times Dream! :-)




3. THE KISSING DREAM: I'm convinced that this dream was out of my concern over Rob and his handling of his newfound fame! haha I was his friend and driving him around town, taking him places and running errands for him, etc. Everywhere I went, I was paranoid for him and kept asking questions like "are you okay?" or "is this okay, where we're going?" Fast forward to where I'm sitting in the back seat and he's in the front seat, like we pulled over to give him a break somewhere. I was leaning forward the front seat asking him a million questions and he was kicked back with his hand over his eyes like he had a headache. At one point we ended up talking to where our faces were so close together that I guess he felt compelled to give me a quick kiss on the lips. AWESOME, RIGHT? But in the dream it felt awkward, like he was just giving me a pity kiss 'cause our faces were so close together! HAHA Goofy Ass Dream! :-)




4. THE MEETING DREAM (and the BEST by far!): I'm convinced that this dream is because the New Moon premiere is coming up and I'm just hoping I get to see/meet him at some point! :-0 Again, me and my Twi-Partner-In-Crime were at a film location and we both decided to stake out different entrances of this room that he was filming in. Nothing was happening, so I went to search for Megan to see if she had any luck and low and behold, she was standing there casually talking to the man himself! I was like "WTF?????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????" and proceeded to take my camera out to take pictures of them. They both were like "oh, okay.... I guess..." like I was totally interupting their conversation or something. Too funny! Rob was beyond friendly and giddy and I was like "Oh please... could we do a funny prom pose together?" And he's all "prom pose?" So I proceed to pose him in back of me w/ his arms around my waist and put on a funny fake smile, and he starts CRACKING UP! And he's all "ooh, and what if I start doing this?" and he proceeds to GRAB MY BOOBS!!!!! I said "Wow, not a whole lot happening up there, but if you're feelin' it, go for it!" And we just started cracking up while Megan snapped away.


Fast forward to me just hanging out at this location and I was just hanging out with all these random, cool people because I thought Rob had left a long time ago. All of a sudden I can hear someone in the crowd saying "Is Gertrude still here?" (my actual first name) and I was like "yeah, I'm here... who's asking?" And this crew member guy comes out of nowhere and points in my direction and in walks Rob!!!!! HOLY MUTHER-EFFERRRR!!!



ME: "First of all, how'd you know that was my name?"

ROB: "I asked".

ME: "OHMIGOD, YOU REMEMBERED ME?????"

ROB: "I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye"

ME: "AWWWWWWWWWWW......."

And I gave him the biggest bear hug. He was so tall and thin, but so wonderfully warm and gracious. Like I said, Best Dream Ever! :-)

ROB ON VF: The Vampire Cometh & Wreaketh Thy Havoc!

It isn't enough that the man known as Rob Pattinson can easily cause a stir on Twitter. Every little move he makes is instant headlining news in the Twitterverse.

But OH.MI.GOD! Nothing, and I mean nothing, has caused a Twitter Commotion like the onslaught brought on yesterday by Vanity Fair Magazine. After much (lame) teasing, they unveiled the cover of their December issue with Rob looking ever so dashing. But it didn't stop there. Before Twihards could form another incoherent thought, VF released the first set of four Bruce Weber outtakes on their website. Hot Damn in the Valley of all that is Hot and Damned! You would've thought a Fan Fic Convention let out with all the chest clutching, heart thumping, died-and-gone-to-heaven, 'oh-what -I -would -do' tweets that were unleashed!!! Never have I witnessed so many women wishing they were beer bottles, patches of grass and pianos in all my life! It's no shocker that the frenzy is still going strong the day after. O. M. freakin' E.!

There's no doubt this cover is worth celebrating. Rob is looking every bit the James Dean of his generation: The signature smoldering look paired with the luscious Edwardesqe hair. But that wasn't even the highlight of the cover. Oh no -- the REAL star of the day was what many of us twittering Twihards dubbed as the "skin peek". That's right -- that ever so tiny little glimpse of skin showing right above his waist. And that small hint of skin sent many a fangirl moaning... literally... and off into a comatose state that can only be done by the power of RPattz. It soon took a life of its own as we all mistakenly took the 'skin peek' as an invitation to create every Rob/Edward fantasy imaginable. We became fixated at the cream colored, velvety skin of the sparkly one and began to fantasize how easily our hand/tongue could fit in that tiny enclave of Rob Heaven. Ohhhh... the possibilities were endless... and we all were the better person for spending those countless hours analyzing this to the best of our Twitter ability!

Such madness sent us into a frenzy of chain smoking and drinking (alcohol or water, depending on the mood you were in (wink, wink)). And to think the New Moon promo madness has just begun, ladies. But have no fear -- after Wednesday, the VF issue will hit the stands and we'll all have Rob in our precious hands to enjoy up close and -- err-- personal! :-0

NEW 'NEW MOON' POSTERS? Let's Discuss!

THE WOLF PACK

OK.... I love me some Edward, but let's face it -- New Moon is ALL about Jacob and the introduction of the Wolf Pack.  Heart be still.... I can't wait to see these guys in action!  We've seen a similar picture of the guys before, except here they're fully clothed (BOO!).  And the pack members seem to be posed differently.  Note Paul taking a cocky stance in this one.  LOVE IT! Alex Meraz will be stealing my heart come November, by the way....

THE VOLTURRI

I soooo LOVE this picture of the Volturri! Not feeling Alec's pose though.  Think he should've taken a dead on stance like the rest of them -would've looked way more sinister.  The folded arms just makes him seem like a punk like Paul!  haha  Either way, love the poster as a whole! :-0

BELLA AND THE CULLENS

Ahhhh.....Edward!  I love him, but his look here reminds me an enhanced and updated version of the Twilight poster.  I don't know why I'm just not feeling his look here?  Maybe it's his creepy hand on Bella's back? Hmmm. Bella actually looks good here, but her pose is a bit too Harlequin Romance for me.  I think I'm biased 'cause NM is pro-Jacob which is why I think I love the love triangle poster the best.  As for the Cullens, they all look great except for my Jasper. WTH?  We know he's after Bella and is supposed to look angry, but did they have to make him look like a creepy psychopath?  Booooo!!!!  

What do you think?  Do tell....

"TWILIGHT: The TV Series"

That's the title I've dubbed the CW's 'The Vampire Diaries'.  I have to admit that for TV, it was watchable and managed to hold my attention for an hour.  But whether I remain a faithful follower still remains to be seen.  Am I jonesing for it? Hell Naw!  I'm sure that coming out post-Twilight may be a good and bad thing for them, but I couldn't stop giggling to myself with all the similarities. So without further delay, I bring you my list of comparisons:

• THE EDWARD FACTOR:  Okay, duh.... no one can fill in Edward Cullen's shoes, but Paul Wesley does the brooding, mysterious Stefan well enough to keep me watching.  If I could be picky, I'd say his jaw is too square for me.  But that's just me.

• THE UNTOUCHABLE:  Much like Edward, Stefan is also the hottest guy in the school that every girl wants, but is completely obsessed with the homely sweet girl with a heart of gold.

• THE STALKER FACTOR:  Much like Edward, Stefan can't seem to stop following Elena and mysteriously pops up everywhere.

• THE HOT SIBLING:  Uncontrollable vampire brother who happens to be a hottie? CHECK! As Stefan's brother, Damon, Ian Somerhalder does his thing, but I find it distracting that he looks so much like Chace Crawford.  Where does the CW find these cloned creatures?!!!!

• THE BELLA FACTOR:  Sweet, petite brunette who is extremely vulnerable and dealing with parental issues (Bella, divorced parents -- Elena, parents killed in car crash).

• THE PROMO POSTER:  I'm sorry.... the possibilities are endless as far as promoting this show, yet you go with the three main stars laying down in a meadow? Hel-looo!!

• THE BFF FACTOR:  Much like Bella, Elena has one friend who genuinely cares for her and one who is completely self-absorbed! :-0

• THE JACOB FACTOR:  Naturally, Elena's ex, Matt, is still in love with her.

• THE GLAMOUR FACTOR:  Although Edward charmed the pants off the school faculty in the books, he was unsuccessful in transferring out of biology class.  Stefan, however, was able to glamour his way through his fake school enrollment! :-0

• THE KNOCKOFF TWI-SCENE:  In mid-conversation, Elena notices Stefan's eyes changing color and asks "Are you okay?  Your eyes look different".  heehee

Don't get me wrong... I'm not calling TVD a ripoff by any means, but you've just gotta laugh.  I will say that if next week's episode shows Elena riding in a beat up pickup, jumping off a cliff, or rushing off to Italy for any reason, I am OUTTA HERE!!!!!

THE NON-KILLER FILLER! :(

That's what I've dubbed last night's episode of True Blood:  "the Filler Episode".  Completely uneventful and horribly acted.  I'm hoping that the lack of excitement in this week's episode is due to the fact that they had to save up for the kick ass finale. 

I haven't even had my usual second viewing of the show yet.  Just not motivated.  And I don't even recall hearing anything worthy of my 'fave quotes' section.  BOO!!!!!!!

If I had to absolutely pick a favorite, I'd have to say Bill calling Eric out on the V dealing was my favorite scene.  Just 'cause I love any confrontation between these two, and I just love that Bill has a (small) hold over Eric now.  Not that it's going to stop him from pursuing his lady, but still.

A big let down for me was the Queen.  I was all hyped to see the epitome of vampire royalty and she turns out to be..... CORNY?  Not sure, but I think it was Evan Rachel Wood's bad acting that annoyed me.  She seemed to be trying too hard to convince us that she was a bad ass.  Her lines didn't flow well.   In other words, it didn't seem to come naturally to her.  I've never seen any of her previous work, but maybe she was miscast here. Which is a shame, 'cause I love her look.  She seemed to pull off the spunky aspect of her character, but I didn't buy her conniving/evil side.  And that's the side that counts here. She didn't pull it off in the same way as say Eric pulls off his 'the-whole-world-evolves-around-me-that-I -could-give-a-shit-about-everyone-else' attitude.  I mean, the Queen is supposed to be revered and feared, yet she wasn't even slightly intimidating to me.  (sigh)

Sadly, the real highlight last night was the finale highlight reel at the end.  Both Sookie AND Maryann dressed in identical white gowns.....Lafayette with the creepy black eyes..... but how will it all go down?  I'm racking my brain trying to figure out who does what!   Grrrrrrr!!!!!!  

See you in two weeks.....

TWO EPISODES LEFT? NOOOOOO!!!!!

Let's recap this week's episode, shall we? 

THE BIG QUESTION:  What in the hell is Sookie?????  I've always had a feeling that Sookie was somehow going to save the day, but are we seeing a glimpse of Sookie's unknown powers that even she's unaware of?  

THE UNSUNG HERO:  I heart Jason Stackhouse! I've been predicting that Jason may be the hero to save the day.  Love how he came back home, fully recharged on taking a stand against all who threaten his family and hometown.  And who knew Jason could be so effective armed with a nail gun and chainsaw? haha

THE LIFESAVER:  I just can't get enough of Lafayette.  I think I tune in every week just to see what he says or does.  What would Tara do without him?  (See my favorite quotes at the end of this blog -- Lafayette always make the cut! :-0)

THE QUEEN:  I think anyone who has seen the TB trailers knows that the Queen has yet to make her appearance, which brings me to my next finale prediction:  Possible showdown between the Queen and Maryann??? EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!

BEST TEAM EFFORT:  You gotta admit the pairing of Andy and Jason pulling off the "God" scene to fool Maryann's followers to save Sam..... freakin' CLASSIC!  :-0

THE NEWBIE:  The addition of Jessica to this season has been such a BLAST!  She has brought so much to the show, and the actress' portrayal of her is awesome!  But now that she crossed the line with Hoyt's mama, where does that leave the two lovebirds?  Hmmmm....

THE DOWNER:  Other than the awesome dream scene in the beginning, Eric was absent from this episode (sigh).  Since last week's episode was so awesome and Eric-filled, I'll justify it by saying Eric's absence was due to his continued grieving over Godric's death! heehee

Feel free to comment, leave your feedback, and most of all, let me know if I've overlooked a key scene! :-0

MY FAVE QUOTES FROM TONIGHT'S EPISODE (and correct me if I'm misquoting!):

"Jesus and I have agreed to see other people, but it doesn't mean we don't talk from time to time...." -Lafayette

"This town wouldn't be the same without you.... even if you are sometimes a nudist." -Andy

"This has got to be the worst motherf****n' intervention in history!" -Lafayette

"Smite Me, Motherf****r!!!!!" -Sam

TB EYE CANDY: JASON STACKHOUSE!!!!

Boy, riding the Greyhound never seemed so TEMPTING! :-0  There is no other TB character hotter than Jason Stackhouse.  He totally stole the show in the first season and while we didn't get to see him as naked this season, we did get to see the old Jason come out when he gave it to the preacher's wife right in the church! haha  I have to admit that I missed seeing the sibling bond between he and Sookie this season, so it was nice to see them make amends and to come to terms with everything.  Ryan Kwanten brings the perfect mix of dimwitted hick and fun loving guy to this role.  Not to mention, you'd never guess there was an Australian lurking beneath that southern accent!

The latest GQ spread featuring Ryan is the best shoot of him I've seen to date, so I've been drooling over the pics these past few days.  I would've loved to have seen more shirtless Jason, but being that this IS for GQ, guess he's gotta push the clothes at some point! haha He definitely does a yoga body good! ENJOY!

BEST EPISODE OF TRUE BLOOD EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!

FINALLY!  My first Sookie Swan post!  YAY!!! Took me a minute since to be honest, I forgot I set up this blog account! haha  Second, I've just been out of the blogger loop.  But here I am, and hot off last night's True Blood episode, so let's begin.....

The OBVIOUS -- GODRIC!  Why'd he have to go so fast?  Just when we got to know who he was and learned to love him... HE LEAVES!!! NOOO!!!! I'm still in TB denial!  WTF, Allan Ball? I have to trust that there's a method to your madness.  Please let him come back next season in flashbacks... ANYTHING!  Life won't be the same without our little bad ass vamp! 

The ROOFTOP SCENE -- Easily the best scene to date.  So many emotions were going on in this scene for me.  Mortal vs. Immortal.  Sookie seeing Eric at his most vulnerable.  Eric showing he does have a heart.  This scene was so well played by the 3 actors that I'm going to call it right here -- Emmy Nom!  Straight up!  'Cause TB's writing is the shit, but that episode as a whole was just AWESOME!  

The HOT VAMP -- If anyone was on the fence with Eric, this episode definitely set them completely over.  Anyone who could get you to think he was a deceitful pig (tricking Sookie into saving him), yet turn around and make you want to cradle him, take him home and care for him (rooftop scene) is a master of his craft.  And that dream sequence?  Like most fans, I'm STILL dreaming about it...(sigh).

The SIBLINGS -- Finally, Jason and Sookie make amends with all that went on in the first season.  The scene between them was so great, and so personal.  LOVED IT! 

The BAD ASS -- Ohmigod, do NOT get me started on Lafayette!!!!  He is easily my fave character on this show from season 1.  He brings so much and watching him give Eggs a beatdown was one of the great thrills this season!!!  And only he could rescue Tara the way he did! CRAZZZZYYYY!!  One of these days, I'm going to do a blog devoted to Lafayette quotes! :-0

Obviously I could go on and on, but those were my highlights. Holla at me if I didn't include YOUR fave part!
