Now we're getting into individual encounters. The first is with Thalia, because I'm lazy and chose the easiest character to do first--mine! Haha.  Okay, I want to say beforehand...anything that you think seems romantic IS NOT. Rob's fascination with all of the women is purely intrigue--he's never met anyone like any of them before. So in this chapter, if he stops to study Thalia or marvels at something about her, it is just because she is interesting to him. It will be the same for the other three girls too. I am NOT playing favourites with my own character!
The crap-ola lyrics in this chapter are, once again, lyrics I wrote for a local band. The lyrics suck, I know, but I didn't feel like writing new ones, so nyeeh.
And besides all that...enjoy!


 

Could you help me out? )

I made a boo-boo on the last one. The last one was actually Chapter TWO, and this is Chapter THREE!
This one is a little less than perfect, if compared to previous chapters. If you don't like it, tell me and I'll edit it. I just really wanted to get it done before going into work.
Anyway...here ya go!


 

You didn't seriously just compliment my butt-muscles, did you? )

All right! This should be the last of the "introductory" chapters to this story. After this one, its all friendships and personal stuff between all major parties (Rob, Delaney, Louise, Lindsay, and Thalia).
Before we'd begin, I'd like to state some things for the record:: 1) Joe Firstman is awesome. I actually met him once when he was touring with Jewel, and he was the coolest guy! He autographed a copy of his album for me (The War of Women--check it out!), and told me some jokes. Great guy. 2) The "Hugh" I keep mentioning is, yes, Hugh Laurie, from "House, M.D.". Haha. He's such an awesome Brit; I absolutely had to include him. He'll be making several appearances throughout this story, as well as some other celebrities we all know and love. 3) "Break" is not an actual Rob Pattinson song, so if it seems out of sorts from his usual lyrics, that's because he didn't write it! I wrote it for my band a while back, but we never ended up putting music to it and its just been gathering dust, so I gave it to Rob!

And, all always, leave lots of nummy feedback, please?!

Now you're priceless, and I am so very poor. )

Here we go! This is the sort of Prologue to my fanfic, "The Life & Times of Rob Pattinson." I'm so excited! Let me know what you think!

Hey, everyone!

I am starting this really huge fanfic project based on an actor, instead of his characters. Can you guess which actor? Yep! Its going to be called, "The Life & Times of Rob Pattinson."

And since I am such a nice person, I am extending this offer before I begin writing... You could be a character in the story! Interested? Details under the cut.

Lookit! Shiny details! )

Hey, guys--I said I was going to be on more, and I was so focused on using my week-end getting caught up with Internet stuff (mainly catching up on Twiheads), and then my phone got cut off! And because I live in the Stone Ages and have DIAL-UP, I couldn't get on! But I'm back now, and focused.
Also, for those who don't know, I'm working at Subway now! I am a sandwich artist there. Awesome. Also, very soon I will be starting some training classes and then taking calls for the RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) Help Hotline. Doing my part for women. Every little bit helps.

And...here's a countdown to the release of the official Twilight movie trailer!

Hey, guys, I'm back! So, the bad news is that I do have apnea, but the good news is that it is solely attributed to my other problems (sinuses, PCOS, weight, et cetera) and as long as said problems stay well-managed, the apnea should have no trying affects on my body. That is a very good thing, because apnea would be the thing I worried about the most--apnea can be fatal! But not to me, so I'm pretty happy.

I spent my two days in the hospital reading and watching television. But all I read was Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge (A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival) and watched DVD reruns of Anderson Cooper 360º, so I am just pumped full of CNN-type stuff right now. I adore Anderson Cooper--I think he's one of the wisest, bravest, most dedicated men on the planet, and he is pretty much the only person I trust for news.

Anyway, I'm back. I'm feeling a little better, and...yeah.

Time for an Anderson quote? I think so!
"Anyone who tells you they aren't scared in a war zone is a fool or a liar, and probably both. The more places you've been , the more you know just how easy it is to get killed. It's not like in the movies. There are no slow-motion falls, no crying out the names of your loved ones. People die, and the world keeps spinning."

And now, I am going to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Hey, you listen to as much Elvis as I do, and you start picking up some Elvis-esque eating habits.

Hey, guys. I'm sittin' here, watching some Bones and waiting for my ride. I'm going into the hospital for a couple days. Don't worry! I'm not dying or anything. My last entry said that I was sleepy all the time, remember? Well, its been ridiculously bad (I fell asleep standing up for the first time in my life yesterday), so I called my doctor and she was concerned. PCOS, apparently, can caused sleep apnea which, untreated, can be very physically damaging to the body. She arranged for me to do a two-night sleep study at the hospital, so that's where I'm heading. If the test affirms, I'll have to go back in for more tests, but if it negates, then I'll only be there for two nights. Laptops and mobiles aren't permitted within the hospital, so I'm going to drop off the face of the earth until the tests are over. I'll talk to you all then. Wish me luck!

Ciao.

I feel like crap. Complete and utter crap. PCOS is kicking my ass right now. I have been so tired for the past two days, and I've been getting these headaches just on the left side of my head that pulse and make my eye feel like its going to pop right out. I'm fine, though. I mean, I feel like crap but at least I know that PCOS isn't fatal in itself. It can cause heart problems and diabetes and stuff, but aside from a little heart flutter, I'm okay so its nothing to worry about. But I just hate it when I have my "symptom spells" and I can barely function.

So if you don't see me around a lot lately, that's why. I've been sleeping through the past two days, with the exception of hanging out with a friend last night (we both ended up falling asleep, because she was sick-hungover), and going to a booksale today (13 books for 10$, and I was a zombie mess by the time I left). I should be okay in a few days at the most and then I'll be back! I just really need the rest right now.

I'm going back to bed. Bye-bye.

Music. Is there anyone who can deny that music is as pertinent to our existence as each revolution around the sun? Music shares the same essential make-up as humans (because it is so very human), but without deceptions and miscommunications. Music is beautiful and ugly, jovial and depressed, excited and mellow, calming and enraging. It marks days and weeks and months and years and decades and centuries in its infinity. It has been around forever, since before we humans even knew what to do with it, and it will continue to flow through the world for as long as there is a world to flow through. And when our planet has been reduced to nothing more than a black ball of ash floating in a dismal darkness, music will sing through the stars and the planets and the sattelites that outlive us. All of this sounds horribly shmeltzy, I know, but I dare you to tell me I'm wrong.

So here is where my incredulousness comes into play, and my observations of the ignorant hypocrisy of human beings:: Why do we show such disrespect for music? Everyone loves music, though maybe not as strongly as others do, but it is impossible to deny. It is all but embedded in our DNA that music is love, music is sustanance, music is life in all its glory and all its gore. We need it as surely as we need breath. We need it, but we do not respect it. Not all of us, at least. People download songs illegally, they sample music, they take credit for lyrics that are not theirs, they circulate videos and tracks without permission. And, to add insult to injury, they cannot understand why its wrong for them to do these things. Its theft. Theft of music. And if music is life, then stealing a musicians music is like stealing the breath from their body. Its murder. Its hateful. Its hurtful and dispicable and outrageous.

Its totally apparent that I'm an audiophile, isn't it? Good.

I ate a caramel apple today. My first in four years--not because I've been avoiding them, but because I always seem to miss them when they're "in season." I ate it an hour ago, and I'm still on Cloud 9. I love caramel apples. Even if they do murder my teeth.

Also, I'm in ecstasy over the fact that I finished a song today. I've been in a bit of a rut, but I finally cranked one out. I really like the first two verses--I'm not quite comfortable with the bridge so I'll probably edit it, but all-and-all, I like these lyrics. What do you think?::

So I did something very ambitious! I listened to Bobby Dupea's songs and tried to write out the lyrics by ear (since they're basically impossible to find anywhere else). I guarantee that they are NOT 100% accurate, but I think I got close. I only did "Roam," "Stray Dog," and "I Was Broken" because you can find the lyrics to "I'll Be Your Lover, Too" very easily. Here ya go::

The amazing blues stylings of Rob Pattinson (aka, Bobby Dupea). This is his performance of the song "I Was Broken," originally by Marcus Foster. And if you've never listened to Foster, I highly recommend that you do so--he's pretty amazing himself!

UPDATE:: I took the video down because Rob recently posted a blog entry stating that it wasn't by his approval that the video was circulated around the Internet. So, out of respect for the artist, I have removed it from my journal. Really, people--respect musicians. They put up with enough shit already.

So I was recently made a moderator of one of my favourite communities--TWIHEADS! Yay! So, one of the duties is to make sure that the community gets lots and lots of yummy advertisement. So I made twelve buttons--six technically, but there is a moving and a non-moving for each. Under the preview, follow the link and it'll take you to the page with all the buttons and some codes. You can place the codes wherever you like (though I opt for the BLURB section of my LJ). Thanks for using!

The next part of my Untitled story. Can you keep up?! LOL!
TO MY STALKER! DON'T READ THIS YET! I like the whole symbiotic, alternating-reviews thing we have going on, and I want to read and review another of your stories before you do another of mine. Especially because you're such a better reviewer than I am; I don't want to overwork you! LOL. So hold off until I read your Satan story--and any other of your stories--first, please!
Okay, and to everyone else...if there is, in fact, anyone else...here it goes!

Okay, here are the next couple pages of my Untitled story. Now, just keep in mind that these pages are very rough and in need of a lot of editting. Some stuff'll be taken out, some stuff'll be put in. This is just the basic idea. But right now...you get to meet Elizabeth's boyfriend, Rob! He's such a hottie and a sweetie...I modelled him after a famous Rob. Ten points if you can tell WHICH famous Rob. :D

Okay, are you ready for more?! More of my original writings, that is. I have been obsessively rapping away at my keyboard for the past week, trying desperately to complete chapter one of my latest story (thusfar still Untitled) before I forgot what I wanted to write. And last night, I did finish! Now, I am not going to post the whole thing here right now, because its roughly 8,500 words long. But I figured I would post the first page and a half so that you could get a feel for my writing style. Please tell me if you like it, and tell me if you would like to read more of the first chapter or hear more about the plot or characters! Here goes::

 

Think about it; do you really want all those years of adolescent torture to be for nothing? )
