Fandemonium!

At first I was excited to hear that the Twilight cast was going to be touring, giving autographs, answering Q & A sessions. Then the nightmare began. The fans were totally raped by Hot Topic and their accessory to commit rape - Summit Entertainment. I was livid. I was furious. Notice the past tense. I was mad because I had no hope in hell of getting a wristband. Yes, I was willing to fork over the $30.00 for a t-shirt and a poster and mega hours of waiting in line with thousands of screaming teens. How come all of us out here in the Twilight universe knew that it was going to be a clusterfuck from the get go?

Was it all a calculated ploy by Summit and Hot Topic to drive sales? Pretty much. Build it, and they will come. Period. Summit relied on the teen driven fanbase to supply much needed hysteria. You don't have to pay a single cent to get that kind of publicity. And guess who got hurt in the long run? Our man Rob was subjected to mass hysteria at levels that no human should have to endure. My heart bled for him everytime I saw each stress inducing appearance.

But here is the crux of all said mass hysteria. Did all the screaming and mayhem stop me from going to see the movie? Nope. Not one bit. I can bitch and moan about how the whole thing was handled and how the cast was pimped out...but how many of us stood in line for a midnight show or the first showing on Friday morning, November 21, 2008? Does that make me a hypocrite?

Deep down, yeah, I feel like one. I hate myself for bitching about the shameless promotion of the movie and the cast. But at the same time, my love for Twilight and Rob runs deep. Nothing, I mean, nothing short of an act of God was going to keep me from seeing this movie.

So what does that say about me and all the others? Not a damn thing. Because when all is said and done, it's nothing but a book, a movie and a talented cast bringing a little fantasy to us when we need it most. Things in our country right now are tenuous at the best. We all have no idea when and if the bottom is going to fall out. So I say bravo to those who brought us "Twilight" The Movie, when we needed it the most.

Personally, today I enjoyed escaping from my troubles. I enjoyed reliving a story that made me feel like the 17 year old that got lost years ago. If I can escape my daily crap by living through Edward and Bella for 2 hours...Hell , sign me up!

Confessions Of A Bona Fide Cougar!

You know, I was just falling asleep when one of those random thoughts from nowhere seems to invade your conciousness, and causes you to have an "Oh Snap!" moment.

Hi. My name is Jules. I have just realized that I am a life long Cougar. I was always a little leary about admitting to my friends that younger guys always had an appeal for me. Now, I'm not talking that I did anything school teacher pedophelia, crazy shit. Just liked younger men. Period. So, I had to think back on my history. Check this out. You'll agree by the end.

My first boyfriend in highschool. 9 months younger. Hot, kinda in a Patrick Swayze "Dirty Dancing" kind of way. He was my first kiss. Way too cute story about this boy to go into details, but needless to say, he broke my heart. Broke up with me during a high school dance during "Stairway To Heaven". BASTARD! I swear to God, I heard the Eagles song "Heartache Tonight" at least 7 times before we even got to the dance. He left me for his ex who was skinnier and a better disco dancer than I was.

Now, in college...I decided to go with older men. Broken heart, Broken heart, broke someone's heart, broken heart.

Next on the list: Bono. I call him that because he looked like Bono back in the day. So had a thing for Bono and U2! Wait, it was in the day when I was living in sin with him. I was 24, he was 19. That's Camille and Joe Jonas action right there! Didn't end well either. I was seeing someone else on the side just 2 months younger than he was. Hmmmm.....maybe a trend is developing?

NEXT! Did the older guy thing again for a while. Did have s lot of fun, I'm not settling down and never having kids shit. Boy, DID I HAVE SOME FUN!!!!

Okay, so it starts getting old, the serial monogamy thing. Then brainless here has the senseless idea to fall in love with someone 6 years younger than she is. I think..."Hey, maybe it's time to get married!" I was 37, what else was left? BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!!! Yeah, that one didn't end well either. That was the relationship that broke ME.

Celibacy was the best thing that happened to me. I got me back. I got my self respect back. I got it going on again! I'm in my 40's, I'm fortunate that I don't look my age and I have my joie de vivre back!

Guess what? Boytoy Magnet...Again! What the hell? But, the best part is , I'm in on it now. I now understand that I and I alone have the control. So, now all this time lusting inappropriately after Rob Pattinson, Daniel Radcliffe, James McAvoy, Jensen Ackles...(really the list is endless), I was sought out by someone younger again! He's Rob's age and I'm having a freaking blast because it's all on MY terms. Thanks Demi Moore! You gave me the greenlight to wave my Cougar flag high and proud!

So, let me here from any of you other ladies who have had similar experiences! I know I'm not alone! I love having gorgeous arm candy!

I'm exhausted, and the movie hasn't even opened yet.

Sleep....wtf is that? Rob - 24/7? In the words of Sarah Palin: "You Betcha!" My ass is dragging. I'm spending so much time checking in on the blogs, searching the internet, chatting with other Robsessives that I will be dead before the movie opens. I can already picture myself standing in line for tickets in my bathrobe, bunnie slippers and an I.V.

Nothing short of nuclear disaster is keeping me away from November 21, 2008. I mean nothing. All the press junkets, all the photos, everything shoots through my nerve endings like Edward's venom. Burning me, making the desire stronger and stronger. MUST HAVE AN EDWARD FIX!!!

I think I'm almost as tired as Rob. I know there are a lot of you out there who can attest to this. I'm just terrified that I am going to be one emotional wreck during the entire movie. Maybe, I should take a sabbatical from all things Rob and Twilight a couple of days before the movie happens. Get a fresh perspective....

Yeah, and monkeys will fly out my butt.......

Time for some creative fun!

Okay, so I've been thinking about some of the fan questions that people are being able to ask Rob to answer. But I want to take on a different question.

If you could cast Rob in a remake of any classic movie, what would it be, who would he play and why does that rock your world? Think long and hard. I look forward to your answers.

My Answer: The Graduate. I would love to see him as Benjamin. I would love to see myself in the role of Mrs. Robinson, but that will never happen. I think Rob would bring a different interpretation to that role. He would have a little more vulnerability I think. It would be extremely appealing and you would be satisfied when he runs off with the girl in the end.

Ladies? Your turn....

Mission Impossible

Okay, my mission should I choose to accept it is to make a four hour trip to Dallas to a mall to brave thousands of screaming teens waiting to see Rob. Now granted, I know that I am not going to be the only older woman there. Hopefully I will be in good company with some lovely friends that I have met through the best Rob Pattinson blog EVER...Robsessed.blogspot.com

This is a blog that brings everything Rob, all Rob, 24/7 to us by the incredible hard work of two wonderful ladies: Gozde and Dani. They get much assistance from a lot of other big diehard fans who want to share the Rob loving goodness. I wish I had the time to devote to helping out. Instead I get the luxury of being able to comment and share with the rest of us Robsessors.

I have a mission. A mission to meet Rob, to make eye contact, smile, get him to laugh and be able to wish him all the best in his career. I hopefully will be successful and have stories to share. It is the least I can do for the girls who put in all the hard work that makes each and everyone of us smile with joy, lust, pure hysteria...

My heartfelt thanks ladies...We'll try not to let you down.
