All ‘The Buried Life’ Guys Manage to Do is Remind Me I Missed Rob

Confession… I’m writing this blog without watching The Buried Life. So if I say something silly that, after the show, no longer makes sense, realize that is why.

So, I’m sure you’ve all heard about this show and the fact that the guys on it were dared to get a lock of Robert Pattinson’s hair. I watched the little preview here and I went on ahead and DVR’d it. I’ll watch it tomorrow. Maybe. You tell me.

Really, more then anything, this video managed to make me sad. Probably for reasons you don’t realize . Let me explain…

The guys are hurrying over to a club in Hollywood cause they heard Rob is there. That club is the Hotel Cafe, which Rob went to go and support his bud, Sam Bradley, who was playing that night. In fact, he went there to support 3 out of the 4 times Sam Bradley played at the Hotel Cafe.

I saw that alley way they are walking through and realized, “Hey! My drunk ass stood right there.” See?

 

Alley? Check. Sam? Check. Drunk Amber? Double Check. Rob? ... :(

 

I love that about having gone to Hollywood now. It’s cool to recognize some of those places I saw in real life.

Then it hit me.

I was at the Hotel Cafe, totally supporting Sam Bradley, but I managed to go the ONE night Rob wasn’t there.

And that makes me sad panda.

Let me tell you first and foremost… when I bought the ticket, I didn’t think there was even a chance Rob would show. At all. It wasn’t about that for me. I <3 Sam as well. (I mean, I do run a blog supporting him also!) But it wasn’t till I guess a month later that I put it all together.

I missed him.

Oh well, I still got to see the pretty in person, and that was (almost) good enough for me.

Well, I guess I am happy ‘The Buried Live’ guys tracked down Rob at what I’m guessing is the Teen Choice Awards. Kudos to them.

 

Yay for you. ::sigh::

 

I guess if I had unlimited funds from MTV, I could make this happen too. Maybe one day….

Did you watch ‘The Buried Life’? Should I watch it, or skip it?


Dear People in Lubbock, You Are Crazy. That is All.

What I don’t understand is why am I blogging about Rob in Lubbock, Texas twice? This makes no sense.

Well, for 3 reasons I am writing this blog post. All of them can be found in this fantastic article by Lubbock Online. Let’s get to those now…

1. Cause Texas Tech girls may be a wee bit crazy. Or perhaps a lot crazy. And not in a good way.

So I was reading this article about Rob in the bar in Lubbock. And yes, this is front page news for Lubbock. Why? It’s a Wednesday, there is not football and, seriously, it’s Lubbock. Need I say more. The article follows the story of a girl named Sarah and her friend Caroline.

Count 'em up Rob. You're missing a few...

Sarah and Caroline got the Facebook bat signal that Rob was in town and rushed to the bar that was closed to all patrons of the female persuasion. So they went and waited in the back alley (most likely by a dumpster) with 50 other girls for Rob to make his escape. Sarah got to touch Rob’s arm, but Caroline, well here is what Sarah says about that…

“Caroline got so close that she said she was able to pull out one of his arm hairs,” said Caldwell. “But she lost it in all the excitement.”

Um, excuse me? She MEANT to keep Rob’s arm hair? What was she going to do with it? Put in a test tube and give it water and food and see if another Rob grew from it? Extract the DNA and impregnate herself with little Rob babies? Forget the crazy girls jumping on the hood of the car. Caroline is the craziest. Gold star for her. And possibly a restraining order. Yeah. She must be excited!

Plenty more goodies from West Texas, after the jump! Continue reading


Where Will Rob’s Road Trip Take Him Next?!?

You know, I had my doubts on the New Mexico story. It just seemed so… out there. Then come to find out, Rob and his boys (well, at least Sam Bradley and TomStu) are road tripping across America. I know this because really, there is no other reason why the hell you would end up in a bar in Lubbock, Texas. Other then the fact that Sam is a Texas Tech fan and probs INSISTED on stopping. (True story. He totally threw the guns up on me. I almost slapped him.)

And boy, did Rob find some fans and take quite possibly the freakiest fan picture EVER!

Um, wow. Well, at least the girls look cute.

And these fans, well, they may have taken ninja pic’ing to a whole ‘nother level.

I love this one. You can still frame it and say "Look! A picture of me with Rob, and I didn't even bother him."

Yep. That is definitely Sam. I know that curly head of hair anywhere!

So, as you all know, I live out here in the middle of fly over country, just a few hours from Lubbock myself. Part of me is wondering, should I be out in a bar somewhere here tonight?

I mean, if Rob is heading where everyone thinks he is heading, chances are our paths won’t cross. But maybe they are literally just driving around. Looking for the world’s largest ball of yarn or the best beef jerky in the southwest? Or possibly they just wanted to see the gigantic statue of Buddy Holly? (I’ve seen it!)

All I know is… if you live anywhere out this direction, keep your eyes open. You never know who you might see!


Mountain Man Rob is BACK! And He’s Giving Out Piggy Back Rides…

Did you miss me yesterday? Yeah, so my plane got back pretty late on Sunday and I was exhausted, so I forgoed blogging. Will you ever forgive me? What if I promised a piggy back ride on Mountain Man Rob?

Yep, that’s right. Rob gives good piggy back ride. Just ask TomStu. He looks so happy. Sam looks sort of jealous, eh? Yeah, he’s laughing, maybe he already had his turn before the camera turned on. That seems the most likely reason.

Oh, look at all the smiles! Love!

So, were you all missing the beard as much as me? I mean, I love me some scruff. Being clean shaven all the time is just not for me. And with any reappearance of Rob into the world, we get hit with a slew of pictures of him doing things like walking, looking down and walking some more. Hawt? No? If anything, these pictures provided me some entertainment. I think they will you too…

Damn Steph! One more shift and we are gonna be having a Britney Spears moment.

I see you back there Sam. You can't hide from me.

Why hello there random ladies! Did Rob drop a smile on them? Boy knows what he is doing, that's for sure.

Sometimes I wonder if Tom is thinking "Seriously guys. You can take as MANY pics of me as you want. Really."

Smile Rob, SMILE!... wait, no, never mind. Rob had himself a Chandler moment there.

I saw this and thought "what's Rob pointing at?" followed by "wow, Rob really should stay out of the sun." And don't get me STARTED on the Woody Woodpecker outfit.

I wonder if Rob shows up to pick up Steph, or vice versa, and she looks him up and down and says, "Really? That is what you are wearing?" And is there a guy in the background doing kung fu? Seriously, look!

Awwww, this was fun! I love going through a million pictures that all look the same and realizing there are all kinds of fun stuff in them!


Rob, You & Me Need to Sync Our Google Calendars Before My Next LA Shenanigans

Penguin hoodie FTMFW!

Um, Rob. I’m kind of pissed at you.

Did you know that I was in LA for a whole freakin’ week? Did you know that I frequented many of the right places in hopes of catching an eye full of you with your kick ass penguin hoodie on? Yes, I know I did not know about the existence of the penguin hoodie, but now that I do, I WANT IT! And maybe the guy wearing it too.

But I digress.

Here it is, almost a week after I’ve returned home and now YOU are popping up EVERYWHERE!!

C'mon. We were even in an alley. By a dumpster. Prime spot to meet Brit boys. I mean, we found Sam easy enough!

You show up at the Sam Bradley show this past Tuesday. I was there just a week before. You show up in downtown LA filming. I was there just one week before. You show up at a movie theater. I was in a movie theater in LA earlier that week.

What the hell dude? I SWEAR if your ass goes by the In ‘n Out Burger on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, I will slap you the first time I meet you.

But seriously, I am now blaming you for us not meeting. I mean, it’s not my fault. I was in all the right places. It’s obvious our calendars were not synced up. Hell, I even went for a run in the Hills to try and find your house, and some how, you forgot to let me know where that was. (That sounds creepy and stalkeresque. I was so NOT looking for his house. I was just prowling the neighborhood and if I happened to see Rob, well, so be it. Okay, yeah, I’m a bit of a stalker. Oops.)

So here is the deal Rob. Next time I’m in LA, let’s get this figured out. Cause seriously, this could have easily been you:

Yeah, that’s Jason Segal. It could’ve been you Rob. It could’ve been you.

P.S. I am this close to starting a blog devoted to Jason, cause seriously, he was AWESOME!


Sometimes, We Just Lose Our Cool

Rob is a force to be reckoned with. I should know. His existence has cost me so many hours or my life and so many dollars out of my pocket. (Hello? #LegHitch2010 was not a cheap trip!) But everyday is worth it. Especially when we get to see things like this:

I mean, things like this are likely to send a girl into hysterics. All that hotness is hard to handle. Trust me when I say I did not completely hold my cool at the premiere. I mean, it didn’t matter too much because I was far enough away from Rob that he never saw my complete fan girl breakdown, but still, minorly embarrassing when I think back.

But you know what, just when I thought that maybe I was getting close to that line. That invisible line that exists to seperate us the normal fans from the crazies, someone else beats me to it. This poor girl, she got there first and crossed it. Hard core.

Seemingly normal woman. Dressed nice. Just admiring the pretty… till she is left alone. Then she turns.

::sigh::

And just one more little reason why everyone thinks we’re crazy. Why no one wants to come out of the closet on their Rob/Twilight love. So here is an idea for all of you. If you see a Rob cutout, leave it. They sell them online. While buying it will cost you a few dollars, it will save your dignity. And let’s face it, dignity is important!

I mean, if you’re gonna lose it, at least go down in a ball of fire. Like me. At a Sam Bradley show. Cause that’s how I roll…


Dear LA, You Will Be Missed…

Dear LA/Hollywood/West Hollywood/everywhere around me that was awesome,

Today, I am getting on a plane and heading back to the normal life in the great state of Oklahoma. I have been in LA for seven, count them, SEVEN DAYS. That is a really long time to be away from not only my hubs, but the kids as well.

But this is not an experience I would have traded for the world. I’ve learned so much in these past few days, and I’d like to pass on my words of LA wisdom to you all:

All this, standing just a few hundred feet from me, was just too much to handle.

1. Rob is way hotter in person then I could imagine. I am happy to report this from my awesomely amazing vantage point at the ESPN Zone at LA Live. Cause yes, even ESPN was all about the Twilight on premiere night!

2. Stars really are normal people who go out with friends, hang at the farmer’s market, etc. Case in point, my new love Jake Gyllenhaal and my secondary love and super nice guy to drink beers with, Jason Segal!

Put a beanie on this man's head, and that's the man I met!

Sometimes, dreams really happen. I mean, I didn’t realize that I dreamed of drinking beer across the table from Jason Segal, but after it happened I can’t think of a good reason why I didn’t.

3. Apparently I am completely incapable of staying sober at a Sam Bradley show. I go in with good intentions of not handing the bar tender my card, but then I do, then I drink, then I take my drunk ass over to Sam for hugs. Yeah. And I have the bestest friends ever who instead of stopping me, decided to take pictures instead. Watch Shack of Soul. They will be up there soon.

4. Seeing Eclipse with 40+ leg hitchers in a theatre that holds like, 600 people, was amazeballs. Granted, I was still a little drunk in the beginning from the Sam show, but seriously. I never felt so entertained not only by a movie, but also by the crowd around me. But I swear, can I see just one Twilight movie without being surrounded by Team Jacob?Yuck.

Not gonna lie, I kind of loved this scene.

5. That because of a book, a movie, and the amazing power of the interwebs, I have made some of the coolest friends ever. And on top of that, I got to meet so many of them in person that I find it kind of insane. While people think that Twilight fans are crazies (which many are, please do not get me wrong), it’s through Twilight that I was able to make this whole trip happen, which is just kind of awesome!

I really need to go ahead and review Eclipse properly, but I think I need to see it again first. Did the beginning really go that fast, or were the beers still getting to me? I must do more research…


My Personal Goals for Fun Times While in LA… Just 4 More Days

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you probably know that I am heading to LA on Thursday. I will be going to the premiere of Eclipse, as well as the LA Film Festival screening of Welcome to the Rileys (hi KStew!), seeing some Sam Bradley, going to a midnight showing of Eclipse! All around, it is going to be epic times, fo sho! Seven days in LA, minus hubs and kids? Holy crap.

And because I’m kind of anal rententive, I’ve been mapping out some of my own personal goals during my time in LA!

The MOST important goal of them all — See Rob in the flesh. I don’t care if he is a few hundred feet away and has

If Rob looks like this at the premiere, then he's gonna need to worry about a lot more then word vomit. Just sayin'.

his back to me, I gotta see that boy in the real life. I promise I will not scream at him, although if he gets within 10 feet there may be a spew of word vomit flying out of my mouth which I will clearly have no control over. All of my girls better stay outta the splash zone during that, cause it will be embarrassing.

Get a hug from at least one of the Twi dads, Peter, Billy, hell even Gil. I feel like Billy is my best chance, but that’s probably just because of his super personal newsletter emails that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ::le sigh:: Seriously, you guys need to be on that list.

Live the Rob experience by eating some In-n-Out burger, drinking some beer and possibly showing up drunk of TMZ. The first 2 should be easy, I’m gonna have to work super hard on 3.  I just need to find another drunk celeb and hang behind them and wait on the cameras.

Get bitch faced by KStew at the WTTR screening. She may or may not be there, so this may or may not happen. No wait, I change my mind. I don’t want to get bitch faced. I want to see the smile. In person. That would be much, much more awesome!

Have a beer with Sam and be uber embarrassed because 1) he recognizes me, and 2) he remembers me from the last show, you know, when I went through the “meet and greet” line like 10 times, then just decided to chill with the men and watch girls try to sneak in Justin Nozuka’s dressing room. Awesome times.

Watch Eclipse at the midnight showing (my first midnight showing EVER, by the way) and try not to squee out loud the first time Robward comes on the screen. I failed at New Moon, so here is hoping I can make up for that.

Being out and about in LA for that long is sure to have lots of shenanigans, and you know you will not want to miss anything! So here is what you need to do:

1. Follow me on Twitter.

My Twitter peeps will get everything first, and probably some stuff that will never make it to my blog. If you are not already following me, then do it now. I am @AmberRMW and I promise you won’t regret following me. Yep, I am that awesome. It’s even in my Twitter bio.

2. Watch for updates on my blog!

It may be a bit weird for the week I’m in LA. First off, I’ll be on west coast time, so everything is gonna get pushed back. Secondly, there may be nights I don’t blog, and other days I may hit ya twice. Who knows? I sure don’t. But as long as you are on Twitter, you will know. You can also subscribe to have emails sent every time I update. That may be the easiest! There is a little button right over there, at the top of this column ————————————————>

Hit that, enter your email, and let’s do this!

I’m still packing and getting ready, and I am so freakin’ excited. Will any of you be there? I will be giving out free hugs, just let me know!


Mmm… You ALL Know What I Am Thankful For, Right?

Wow, it’s getting close to that one year mark. One year from the time I first picked up that book that would completely change my life, and I am thankful for that! But there is so much more that I am thankful for, and I think many of you can agree on the same things…

I am thankful for white undershirts.

And possibly more importantly, thankful for the person that decided that is was a good idea to wear them with no shirt over. Yowza!  Then add this very crucial ingredient to Rob and ::died::.

A Musical Hodge Podge!!

MUSIC!! Yeah, that’s what I am wheeling and dealing today, cause let’s face it, music is a huge part of Rob’s world, the Twilight world and my world, too, and so many things went down yesterday that I thought it might be best to just do one big hodge podge post to make sure none of you missed anything!
