Kristen Stewart - fr The Yellow Handkerchief to Adventureland at Sundance

Last year Kristen Stewart came to Sundance as just another actor. Stewart was here for the small film “The Yellow Handkerchief,” which has yet to have a wide release, as is the case for many films shown here. It’s actually part of the charm.

Then Kristen Stewart started working on her next project (maybe you’ve heard of it?), which catapulted her into super-stardom with young girls everywhere. This year, here to debut “Adventureland,” a film in which she co-stars with Jesse Eisenberg, the experience is a bit different for the young actress. When we caught up with Stewart yesterday, the “Twilight” star, Kristen Stewart specifically described the difference in the level of paparazzi she’s noticed here on this go round.

Stewart goes on to talk more about the Sundance experience, and what she thinks about all the actors and celebrities who are here for — or not for — festival films.

Christmas

It was kinda nice that I finished school on the 16th so I could enjoy Christmas. It's just not that fun anymore unless you are a kid, or have kids though. Next year I just wanna have Christmas on a beach with a froofy drink in a bikini.

I did kinda clean up for presents though, so that was a plus. I got a fuzzy blanket and some CDs and books, and an awesome spa certificate for a massage, facial, mani and pedi. My parents also paid for me to take my certification board exam since I'm such a broke ass.

We had Christmas dinner at my aunts. Well let me tell you, pushing the car through the snowy slush was worth the dinner. She had turkey and ham, as well as 2 kinds of stuffing, brussels with bernaise, mashed potatoes, yams and green beans. Probably the best Christmas dinner I had ever eaten.

Staying true to form my grandma got me something really ugly: fleece pants with a white and purple harlequin-type diamond print. Damn it if they aren't comfy though!

I didn't smoke a doobie though this Christmas, which had sort of become a tradition.

:(

After school ended I became bored and depressed. Being snowed in didn't help. I missed all the people just being around all the time. I missed having something to do. (Although I didn't miss studying.) I missed pho. I started sleeping in til 12 and then taking a nap, because there was nothing else to fill my day. It's kinda pathetic really. Now I'm sick. That doesn't help matters. My life is kinda sad these days.

Another bad date? Noooo that would never happen to me!

Oh yes it would!

I had been talking to this guy around November/December and we were supposed to go out one night for dinner. He was from Burnaby and said that he didn't mind coming out to Langley and for me to pick a spot. I told him to meet me at 7 at the Milestones on Highway 10 and 200th street. I figured that was easy to find and he didn't want directions.

I get there at about 7:05 and give him a call to see where he was. Well he was up near Colossus Theatre driving around looking for Milestones. I was like "Ummm you're like 10-15 mins away... Did you look it up on the internet?" and he says he did. Well apparently map reading is a skill he doesn't yet possess.

So I give him directions from there. I tell him to take a left at Willowbrook Drive which is after 64th and that there's a McDonalds on the corner. Pretty easy.

He calls me again 10 mins later and asks "If I hit the train tracks did I go too far?" Hell yeah you did buddy! So then he turned around and on the way back had to wait for the fricking train! I told him that he's super close and he will see the HSBC on the corner and it's in that parking lot.

As I'm waiting I'm getting really annoyed. He didn't want my help in the first place, and then when I give him simple directions he can't even follow them? Come on! I was thinking about just leaving when he called back: "So... It's by the HSBC?" YEP... that's what I told you 60 seconds earlier is it not?

So after showing up like 25 minutes late he apologizes and tells me that since he was later dinner's on him. I wanted to say "It was on you anyways" since HE did ask ME to dinner... but I kept it in.

Part of dinner was ok. I had a coupon for a free appy and we had cajun popcorn shrimp which were amazing and then I had seafood pasta which was also good. Unfortunately the conversation didn't fulfill me as much as the eats. He kept asking me questions I'd answered before and when a guy doesn't listen to me it's one of my pet peeves.

We ended the date with him wanting to hang out and me saying I had to go. He called me a few days later. Needless to say I didn't return the call.

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson being loved up on screen.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart might not be officially dating in real life but that doesn't stop them being loved up on screen.

Pattinson and Stewart chemistry has left many Twilight fans wondering if they both of them are going to do an Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt thing and hook up.

Pattinson has decided that the time is right to explain the secret to his chemistry with Kristen stewart in Twilight.

Robert Pattinson told to Press: "It was strange...I mean, all the scenes are pretty intense. And when you're working with one person most of the time, especially on a relationship that seems impossible when you first start, you get into a little bubble.

"And I guess it's about him trying to intimidate her. And her looking at him with just nothing but love and adoration and awe, as if this god has just come down to meet her.

"But I played it as the god is, like, broken at this normal girl's feet. And I'm the wreck, and she's really strong. And it's supposed to be the other way around.

"I think that's why it kind of worked. I mean, I kind of wanted something like that. I think it makes it sexier as well, if there was a very real chance of him just flipping out at any time and killing her."

Friday
I met up with buddy at the Joey's downtown and it was super busy so we headed to Earl's instead, sat at the bar and had a few appies and drinks. I love Earl's martinis... Wild Orchid=Yum. We had so much fun. I just felt like it was one of those days I was totally "on" and just being SO funny. I spent like the whole time making fun of him. We talked about everything: books, our families, school. He would let little inuendos slip, which is usually a good sign. He was pretty cute too except he was wearing this horrid necklace. I told myself that if he wears it on our next date I'll be like "So did someone make that for you?" and hear the story and if it seems to mean something to him forget it, and if he just got it at a flea market to say "That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen, I forbid you to wear it again." At one point I left to go to the bathroom and when I came back he was like "Ok I'll walk you to your car now." I was like "Uh-oh what did I say?" but I'm pretty sure I said nothing wrong so maybe he's just a bit of a social retard. He walked me to my car and told me he really wants to hang out again, but that he has finals coming up (as did I) and it would be a few weeks, but that he'd be in touch. We FB messaged back and forth for a bit, but then it fizzled. I guess 3 weeks apart when you barely know each other is not exactly a good relationship builder. As they say: Absence makes the heart grow absent.

Saturday
Buddy numero deux picked me up at my house where we headed to Brown's Social House. I hadn't had dinner, and he had, so we ordered some chili chicken to share and had a few drinks. He then decided we needed some shots. Well, it's a date, not a night at the bar, but I figured why not. After a few more drinks we decided we needed something to do, so I suggested we hit up my house for a little Wii and Guitar Hero action. He agreed, but not without first asking me if we had booze there. We got home and played some bowling and I mixed up some cocktails. About 10 minutes later he needed a refill. At this point I'm pretty drunk due to like 4 drinks and a shooter on lack of dinner, so I refrained. We then headed downstairs to play some tunes. For some reason I could NOT get my Playstation to work which was pissing me off (I later discovered that the little FOB thing wasn't attached grr). So... we headed back upstairs. His friends had been calling him over the course of the night to tell him that they first were at T-Bars (to which he told me I knew I wanted to go) and then they headed to Shark Club. He wanted us to go meet up with them. I wasn't really in the mood to hang out with like 6 guys so I declined and told him to go if he wanted to, 'cause I was tired anyways. I suggested we could just chill and watch a movie. Well, he went. He then proceeded to call me at like 2:30 in the morning and wake me up to ask if he should come over. I was like "I'm sleeping!!" and hung up. You left me... you get no booty call! Here's a hint for next time buddy: pay a little more attention to the girl, and a little less attention to your need to get drunk.

Out of 2 dates in 2 days nothing really worked out. The moral of the story: I'm definitely not cut out to be a P.I.M.P.

poem shmoem numero deux

I challenged a guy to write me a poem with my name in it that didn't include the words smell or hell. Yep... It's harder than you think! This is what he came up with:

Danielle
your name does repel
sadness that does dwell
in the pit of our stomachs
like a bottomless well

Danielle
your thought may quell
our fears and dispel
any uncertainties from our minds
like a tight prison cell

What do you think? Not too shabby!
