Here is the latest installment of Robert Is Bothered.  In this one, he is bothered by the World Cup.  As always, Jimmy Fallon's over the top impersonation of RPattz as Edward Cullen is hilarious, especially when he hisses like a cat.  I'm actually surprised we didn't get a Robert Is Bothered installment related to Eclipse, but maybe we will next week before the opening.

I hadn't blogged the last Robert is Bothered by the iPad because I couldn't get the embed code to work; however, I see now that I can get.  Here is that clip for your viewing pleasure:
 

So I created an ongoing entry to keep all my fanfics organized, but even that seems to be becoming overdone.  I'm trying to decide how I really want to organize everything within this blog without it getting confusing for anyone to find what they're looking for.

Ideas:
-Continue as I have been
-Create duplicate entries of the same info, just updated
-Keep separate lists for the things I've read and "rated" versus what is on my To-Read list
-Write reviews for the things I just finished to coincide with the rating I have given it (but only if they are completed).

It'll probably be a work in progress until I figure it out.

I have mentioned I liked Fanfiction before when talking about my obsession with Vampire Knight, but somehow I have now entered into an entirely different world.  I have all but abandoned my poor Zero & Kaname yaoi and have fallen madly in love with Twilight Fanfiction.

Now, I first heard about Fanfiction at Dragon*Con 2008 during a Twilight panel when I heard there were non "fade to black" Isle Esme Honeymoon stories that were pretty hot.  I found some, but never knew how many stories truly existed.

It wasn't until I was following Twighlight-Headed on Twitter and their blog where Meadow Cliffdiver gave weekly fanfiction recommendations.  I took notice one day with a story called Wide Awake and I realized these authors are no joke.  They all have potential to be professional writers, yet they share their passion and talent with the world for free.  It's really a gift and I am grateful for their imagination and story telling skills.

Similarities about the Fanfiction authors that I like:

1. All LOVE Twilight
2. All LOVE the lemons, smut, yaoi, slash, peen, sexy hotness
   
3. Mostly all are female, but don't expect sappy happy chicklit. 
   

This blog entry will be used to keep track of stories I have read or want to read.  I will add the plot summaries for the ones I have read.  You'll figure out which ones I loved, versus liked a lot, versus the ones that I liked. *Note* I am not including one-shots in this list at this time due to the great number of chapter stories available.

***Please see new entry tracking the Twilight Fanfic stories I have read, rated, & will read.  I have discontinued this entry in lieu of the new one. 


 

So it's no surprise that RPattz would be "bothered" by New Moon.  I mean, Edward was absent for over 300 pages in the book, so how can we expect Rob to not be happy to be missing for most of the movie as well.  In all seriousness though, it IS Edward's fault he is missing from so much of the book/movie.  And it was his decisions that brought another guy into his Bella's life.  This was what he wanted.  Still, that has to be bothersome.

Jimmy Fallon continues to be a comedic genius with this segment.

There's even a real web page to see all of RPattz's "Bothered" videos.

Here is Jimmy Fallon's latest installment of "Robert Pattinson is Bothered".  This time around RPattz is "bothered" by holidays, especially Halloween.  For a guy who has been made famous by playing a wizard and a vampire, you'd think he'd embrace the counter-culture of the occult a little more, considering so many people pay homage to him during Halloween. =)  Enjoy!

I was on vacation and missed this one, but I have to share because it's my favorite Jimmy Fallon sketch that he regularly does (for obvious reasons).  It's good to know that RPattz and I are "botthered" by the same thing in this one.  I too hate those Snickers advertisements.  They are really dumb.

I saw this movie for my birthday the other day and ever since I can't get it out of my head.  It's like it has planted this thought seed inside and I want to dissect it, appreciate it, contemplate it, and revisit it.  I've been trying to figure out why, but in the end it just resonated with me and has earned a spot in my favorite movies list. 

If you have NOT seen it, STOP HERE, and don't read any further because I'm going to discuss it and I don't want to give anything away.  I will strongly suggest you go watch it right now...find a theater, a showing, and don't hesitate. You will love it. 

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon brought back their Robert Pattinson "Bothered" skits with a new one where Robert is bothered by Shark Week.  Once again, I realize how much I love Jimmy Fallon.  I hope he continues doing these while Twilight is popular because they're hilarious.

See the previous Robert Pattinson "Bothered" by Harry Potter.

I don't normally post comedy sketch videos on my blog, but today I am making an exception.  Late Night with Jimmy Fallon did a Twilight vs. Harry Potter sketch last night where Jimmy played both Rob Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe.  The result = hilarious (or Hilaricus if you're my BFF). 

With all the talk about "Is Twilight the next Harry Potter?", "Is Stephenie Meyer the next JK Rowling?", "Are the Twilight kids hotter than the HP kids?", etc., this weekend is a big deal for franchise owners.  They are all watching the numbers for fear that Twilight somehow would usurp the throne from Happy Potter.  I don't know why they can't just assume that people who like one franchise would ALSO like the other.  This isn't Trekkies vs. Star Wars were talking about.  Young girls love hot guys and for the tweens, both franchises have plenty of those.  Ultimately, I am a Twihard, but only a HP-movie lover.  I haven't read the books yet (*hangs head in shame as I think to the dusty bookshelf where all the books sit*).  I keep saying I will, but since I love the movies so much I keep feeling like I should wait until the last movie has been released, then read the books.  I don't want to start being disappointed by the movies like I was with the first Twilight movie. 

In real life, I bet Rob & Daniel could be friends.  They both could empathize with being confused with their characters in very popular franchises and both have throngs of young ladies screaming their names wherever they go.   

It's no secret to anyone who knows me well that I am a Twilight fanatic and I'm not ashamed of my illogical devotion either.  I know I am not a teenage girl falling in love for the first time, but all girls remember what it was like.  All girls fantasized about finding their perfect someone just for them.  Someone hopelessly devoted to only them who made the world spin and created a place that was theirs within the chaos of normal existence.  Someone who made them feel less awkward about themselves and saw the true person inside without judgment. It's a nice feeling to have and that's exactly what Twilight does for me.  Granted, I didn't actually find my "Edward" until I met my husband, but once you do meet that person, the book feels as if it was written by you somehow.   

My devotion started after my birthday last August when I received the books as gifts. I had been living under an oblivious rock before that.  The last book, Breaking Dawn was being released and I saw the promotional stuff at all stores.  I saw Facebook buttons about Edward kicking Angel & Spike's asses, or even Chuck Norris'.  I started paying attention to media reports about the movie still in production.  Me being a person who knows their own fascination with Vampires, I was intrigued and couldn't ignore it any longer.  I put the series on my Amazon wish list and the rest is history.  

Hi Everyone.  I am a horrible blogger (*hangs head in shame*).  How will I ever actually switch to this web page if I never actually use it?  Actually, I haven't updated my public site, www.itsnotamonkey.com either.  Well, I have a problem.  Why update that old page when I'll then have to transfer it over to this page?  But, at the same time, why should I update this page, when it's not public yet because it's pretty boring looking?
