perri pickles + imperfections

“edward and bella are not real” from: Ambziie

i never read “you-tube” comments… but i did… and this one(above) wins…

thank you, Ambziie, for reminding me that my favorite fictional characters that i wrote a very real love song for a very real movie about don’t actually exist. thank you… i forgot…

i guess you were all expecting this… because (duh) im super excited… cause i couldn’t not write a blog about this…but the problem is, im jumping the gun… i still haven’t gone on my promo in a private plane with the cast, and i still haven’t gone to the official hollywood premiere… so there is still honest blogging to be had… but i had to at least check in and let you know that im still as geeky, and twi-hardy crazy about this whole thing so far… i keep getting overwhelmed, crazy excited, sweaty, and nervous about the whole thing.

i may have written this song, and i may have made an epic music video with the clips from the movie that made me squeal like a child when i saw it, but i promise you im just a twi-hardy as you about the whole thing… i promise to not get hollywoody about it… i promise to be to grateful and dreamy about the whole process and keep you up to date…

thank you for your endless love + support.
love,
(twi-hardy) cp

i am so grateful for everything today!

i am so grateful for my amazing family and team who plan everything for me. they plan around my weaknesses and my strengths, and help me do everything i need to do. im so grateful they have patience with me and love me more than i know sometimes. im so grateful for everyone doing their best. im so grateful for trusting my gut and getting the scariest surgery ever, but believing i would be better than ever when i healed. im so grateful for 6 weeks later being back on the job and singing for first time with my new vocal chords today on the biggest daytime tv show in london:

im so grateful that i worked so hard to be able to sing again with a whole other team and we did it. im so grateful that i get to talk about twilight as my job. im so grateful i dreamt big enough to have that dream come true. im so grateful for the topshop in london that is 4 stories of epic amazingness and for getting my mind blown and a new fall wardrobe. im so grateful for joey rubino, period… and for having dinner with his darling sister. im so grateful for jogging tonight right past royal albert hall and dreaming of playing there one day. im so grateful that i get to do this. im so grateful for everyone who believes in me and my little love songs.

and tonight im most grateful for my man, johnandersson, who i left at home. i couldn’t love or miss him more. we sacrificed sharing the stage together to share true love instead. tomorrow will be our official one year anniversary of being best friend soul mate penguins. i am so grateful to him for riding my crazy emotional love roller coaster, and loving me unconditionally, anyway.

and lastly tonight, as i lay my head on the pillow, i will finish my gratitude list… with… you.

what are you grateful for?

love,

cp

sometimes you have to make the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make in order to save the one thing you cherish the most.

sometimes you have to lose the job just to keep the girl.

sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone just to keep the boy.

sometimes you have to trust the universe more than your fear.

sometimes you have to let others think you’re crazy + not care at all.

sometimes you have to let go of judgement + let others just find their way.

sometimes you have to just follow your fucking heart.
