An Ode to Robert Pattinson on this, the day of his fourth film as a sparkly vegetarian vampire

Part of me really wishes that IT would come do a virus check on my computer, because they would find the following images/gifs on my desktop (and the resulting conversation would be hilarious and I wouldn't get in any trouble because it's for the blog-- it's actually for the blog. Which makes me realize for the zillionth time how much I love working here.)

I call the following: "In which RPattz reads, and other verbs." Enjoy, and you're welcome.

::

In which RPattz reads:

  

In which RPattz plays instruments:

  

In which RPattz stands surrounded by bookshelves and talks to someone we can't see:   

In which RPattz walks:

In which RPattz laughs at my very funny joke:

In which RPattz touches his hair like he does when he's nervous, which is always:

In which RPattz dances like no one's watching:

In which RPattz does calisthenics:

In which RPattz bites because he's a vampire:

In which RPattz broods:

In which RPattz protects: 

In which RPattz smolders:   

 

T-minus 14 hours till Breaking Dawn, Twihards. Are you ready?

--Kristen D.

P.S. To get you through the next half-day, I leave you with this, entitled: "In which RPattz takes care of business whilst wearing both a pinkie ring and an open weave skinny tie."

Yes, sir.

Even before doing the Twilight series, Robert already have this "vampire" aura. That maybe why he is perfect for the Edward Cullen role.
