Rob’s making a list and checking it twice 2011 edition

I've got lots of awful gift ideas for you this year!

Dear Rob,

It’s the first day of December so it’s time we start getting serious about the upcoming Holidays. So some semi interesting reporter asked you a quasi interesting question about what’s the best gift you’ve given or gotten for Christmas…

http://youtu.be/N1Y5GohswnU

A boiler for your parents?! Come on Rob. I know think you’re the practical gift giver. You’re the guy who’s going to give someone wool socks or a gift certificate to XXX not something someone actually wants. Sure, your parents need to replace the boiler but you’re rolling in it now, why don’t you just do that NOW and get them something like matching Rollex’s for the holidays? Imagine Dick flossing SO hard in London with his Rolli! He’ll be all up in their charity Christmas dinner yelling for the oldsters to wave their Rolli’s side to side.

It’s really too bad Rob… a boiler over Rolli’s… or here’s my other genius idea you can’t steal because I’m going to send it to them but maybe it will inspire you. Yes, I would get Dick and Clare a subscription to an eggroll of the month club. We witness first hand their love for stuffing them in their mouths and enjoying the crispy goodness. Who can blame them! Take that Josh Hutcherson’s turtle!

I have a list for the rest of your special someone’s…

This isn't on their lists

The sisters – a promise to introduce them to Ryan Gosling at an upcoming event, party, whatever it takes, even if that means playing Ryan’s little brother/annoying friend in an upcoming film. Cause this is what brother’s do for their sisters. Especially when the Gos is involved.

Tom Sturridge – the used razor you used to shave your own beard. You heard the ladies were over the Sasquatch look.

Sam Bradley – Same as last year: copy of “Robert Pattinson’s guide to not creeping girls out when I sing by eye f*cking them till it’s awkward” and a new blazer from Dick’s closet and ONE hoop earring from Clare’s jewelry box. But because he’s been such a good pal this year he’s also getting him a pair of personalized Nike’s, one that says Bram and the other says Sadley.

Neither is this, try again!

Taylor Lautner – a gift certificate for Taylor and Big Daddy and you and Dick for a Father/Son retreat weekend at the Culinary Institute of Tuscany (sponsored by Olive Garden of course)

Kristen – Another bearskin rug (those things wear out easily) oh and a turtle.

So let me just say sure, go ahead and give them the boiler cause you’re a good son and clearly you’re listening when your parents complain about it but get them some REAL gifts dear. Come on now.

Happy Holiday Shopping!

Who else does Rob need to buy gifts for that we left out? Dean? Some man jewelry?

Rob’s on the auction block and I make a plan

Read this:

Dear Rob,

Do you know that a 2 night stay in a hotel with you during Breaking Dawn Filming in Vancouver, is being auctioned off for a good cause?

You must have been listening when I wanted you to be more like Kellan in regards to charity. But this is AHMAZING! I mean talk about sacrifice! You never know WHO could win this thing or who you’ll be in a hotel room with for 2 nights. It could be a crazy Krisbian who really just wants to meet Kristen or wants to tell you to treat her right, or maybe it’s it Taylor Swift hoping to win back TLaut or it could be one of those crazy Rob fans who are “on the list.” You know the list. OR it could be me because I’ve taken out a 2nd mortgage, drained my 401K, withdrew all our LTT store money (27 dollars!) and “borrowed” all of UC and Mr. Choice’s life savings (shhh! Don’t tell) and started selling life size cardboard Jumping Rob’s (a gabillion in preorders already!). So I’m pretty sure, unless Nikki Reed starts bidding against me (I can’t compete against revenge money) I will win!! Don’t be scuuuurrred!

But what will we do for 2 whole days in a hotel room? Ok, get your mind out of the gutter (no wait, don’t).

I’ve come up with a few ideas for our two days…

and just because we can now… follow the jump(ing Rob) for the rest!!

Rob: I love your parents and you on Leno

Dear Rob, I've found this site that writes letters to you every day... they seem like swell gals, you should meet them!

Dear Rob,

Today, we were supposed to take a “day of rest” to prepare for our upcoming interview with Stephenie Meyer by NOT blogging and instead focusing on the books and our questions. Then I went to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I met your folks and well, that idea went out the window.

I LOVE your parents. Not don’t let this get weird. You know we’ve written plenty of letters to your parents over the past year or so and they’ve even become somewhat of little mascots around here. Who wouldn’t love Dick (our pet name for him) and Clare. That was until I MET them and now I REALLY love them…

Let me back up. I got tickets to the Tonight Show and ran my booty over there and as the Gods would have it Ashley and I got sat a few rows away from the front right in front of you and Jay Leno, so we were in prime position for what I now call one of your best interviews. You doted on your parents for a majority of the interview, reading emails from your Dad, talking about your mom reading tabloid magazines and generally trying to make them blush. It was FAN-DAMN-TASTIC! Dean even looked at me during a commercial break. Maybe he noticed the gleam in my eye or maybe it was the fact I was on the aisle just mere feet away from you in your SUIT but he smiled at me. And I had that moment of “HE KNOWS!!” Then Emma Roberts said she was Team Jacob (are you CRAY CRAY, did you see the skinny tie, girl?) and you told that bitch where to go. And that was that.

Have you seen this skinny tie and the suit I'm wearing?!

We thought that’d be the end of it and we’d be on our way… WRONG. So we filed out after the taping and stopped to talk to some fellow LA Twi/Rob fans and noticed some folks hanging around waiting for the celebs’ cars to leave. We saw what we thought was Rob’s with Dean in the front seat and thought it was time to leave. THEN your parents walked out and some of the lingering fans clapped and yelled for them to come over. And what do they do? They grab their camera and COME OVER! After your mom took a picture of the people waiting around to talk to them I knew they were super cool. Pattinson family scrapbook!

They were so cool that even though they felt silly signing Twilight books (wtf, people?!) they did it anyway and acted gracious as the group gave them a billion compliments. One being Ashley who thanked them for having such a great son. AWWWWW! Come on, what parent doesn’t want to hear that? Then being the dad he is Dick decided to ramble on and tell us some stories, he didn’t know you even read his emails! As I asked him for a picture (I know, I don’t know what came over me, I NEVER do that, it was the power of Dick!) he happily agreed and grabbed me into a hug to capture this amazing moment in time. FINALLY I met one of our favorite people here at LTR: DICK PATTINSON!

Even though I’m cheesin’ pretty hard I think this deserves to be my Christmas card, “We’ve moved” announcement, my twitter avi, my AIM/gchat avi, the background on my desktop, and framed on my mantle. Ok, maybe I won’t go that far, but this was an epic moment no doubt.

As your Dad continued to tell me about their rental Jeep, Clare was over talking to some other people and signing some stuff…

She’s smokin’ hot Rob, I know that’s weird for you but it’s true. Work it OUT sister.

Then as Dick told me about how the GPS system in the Jeep has an English accent and I told him it’s as if he never left home, Clare came back and told Dick (or Rich, as she calls him) that they had to be off. I guess to do whatever it is that Dick and Clare do on a Tuesday afternoon in LA (be awesome?). I took this picture of Dick still telling me about the GPS and you being busy until the weekend and Clare having to drag him off… I love dads.

This is pretty much the best picture ever.

So that’s how it went down. Me and your parents just chilling in a parking lot in Burbank being awesome, talking about Jeep’s and GPS’s and your work schedule, you know just another Tuesday. I also decided that I will be starting Letters to Dick (LTD) tomorrow. Hope you’re cool with that.

Next stop? Pattinson Family Christmas!

Srsly, how epic is this?! I would NEVER normally ask anyone for a picture but this was just too good. Did you watch Rob on Leno? Do you agree with how great it was? And the suit… THE SUIT. Oh man.

Robert Pattinson, The Nerd, My lover!

Dear Rob-

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… I love me some nerdy Rob. I’m not joking… bring on the glasses and lame ass rainbow sweaters ANY day and I will be all over you like white on rice. So apparently this is form The Bad Mothers Handbook (im such a good fan I know everything about you… sorta. uh not really) which I really need to see. Please have your mom Clare send me a copy from her personal collection of all your greatest works.

I think I have what professionals might call a “nerd fetish.” Please help me… make my day and talk nerdy to me Rob!

XO!

Today is a kind of celebratory day

Dear LTR gals, guys & Rob,

Moon & I were talking the other day and the convo went something like this:

Moon: I just want to hug all these people [our readers] and be like you know what? You’re pretty cool. I can be having a shitty day, working for people who suck and clients who hate me, but I know somewhere there’s someone reading the blog and THEY like me! Very gushy I know, and maybe a tad drunk, but still gushy/tad drunk/and NORMAL
UC: and I feel the same way
Moon: “Gushy” is one of my favorite terms because though I come off as a tough bitch on the exterior to most people, inside I am a truly and deeply sentimental person. Probably almost to a fault, but it’s true, and I can’t deny it- I love to gush.

Today we’re gushing because in our wildest imagination, 4 months ago on December 8th, 2008, we never imagined we’d be HERE with you all, over 500,000 views and 30,000+ comments later!

However large these blogs end up getting, we hope that one thing remains the same- that you feel personally connected to us and the other readers here, because if nothing more we want this to be a personal experience (albeit a funny one!) because Stephenie Meyer’s books are exactly that- a truly personal look at love and relationships.  We can only hope that we convey one ounce of that to you all.

Happy FOUR MONTH anniversary to us! After the jump you can see our hand-picked favorite posts from the past 4 months.

We love you all (you too Rob),
ThemoonisDown and UnintendedChoice

To Rob’s ex-girlfriend: I hate you a lot, but I also want to be your friend
(1/14/09)

Here are some of the letter highlights:

“Explain (in detail please) what it was like to kiss Robert. Please provide pictures, if you can, and crop yourself out.  What do you look like? Let me guess (I’m pretty sure I know his type) You’re about 5′5″, 115lbs (on a good day) with short brownish/reddish hair that’s cut into a cute 20’s bob. You’re probably in your early-mid 20’s with deep brown eyes. I bet you’re American too, right? Did you guys meet when you studied abroad or something? Or did you randomly meet up when you were traveling in London? Tell me exactly what bar you  met at and where you loved hanging out with him and his mates. (What? No, I don’t have a trip to London planned..yet)” Read letter here!

• Moon’s Choice:

Pass this message along to your mum(2/5/09)

Here are some of the letter highlights:

“Anyway, I just wanna thank you and Mr. P for getting it on and creating the beautiful man that you did. I gotta be up front with you though- I want to bang your son.”

“Someday I’ll put together a book full of letters people have written your son, via us. And if you’re ever feeling blue or you’re questioning your worth as a parent, you can read them and know that there are oodles of quality girls (and even some dudes) who think you did a heckuva job.” Read letter here!
