The CoB - Church of Bourdon Thread!

[Ravynlee]

Hey - I'm here. Heh. Thanks Phi. Love what you've got on offer so far over at the writer's corner... have read and reviewed (as always) I'm just upset as per usual there isn't more of it. Y'know me, I have an insatiable thirst for good writing, and let me tell you after I've read your updates I just crave more! Kinda like chocolate... mmmm...

 

Rusu, much thanks! <3 x 3. *awww* I completely ignored the rules and posted it at the size I created it... hence I had to resize it. But in my own defence I didn't actually know the size limitations, I was hoping someone would inform me... then found out it was too big, had been removed, so I rectified the issue and there y'have it - Rob and the CoB. Was meant to be damnit! *laughs* Thanks for the kind words... it's simple, but I don't need all the bells and whistles to get my message across. Simple really - Rob + CoB = my sig. Done. Simple. Easy, huh? Ah, life's good!

 

Had to work tonight. So much for a night off. Got called in when another person didn't show up. Oh well, at least I get paid for it. Spent all day writing on my fic practically and spent like 6 hours last night (til around 3am) reading fics over at the site Hil posted. Man, takes me waaaay back, lemmie tell you. Rob fics. I can't get enough. I have to admit I'm not really into all the band/slash, homo-eroticism has its place but I don't like to think of the guys of LP in that way... if they have such inclinations in RL so be it, it's their own business, no one else's. But for my own gratification, hetrosexual stories are okay in certain doses, but mainly stories with a half original and overall captivating if not decent plot is what I trully can't get enough of.

Anyway... good luck with your story Phi. So far I honestly and sincerely enjoy what I'm reading. I'd tell you if I didn't, I have no reason to lie. It 'bumps!'

 

Hil - don't feel you need to read/hunt for my stories out of obligation, I'm not offended at all if no one here ever reads them (in fact, probably not a bad thing *nervous laugh*) The fact that Rob barely gets a mention in these early ones shouldn't concern anyone - as I said before these fics I wrote almost 18 months/2 years ago and that was when I was 'into' Chas. Uh hu... yeah... Rob in my early fics usually got relegated to the bodyguard/henchman/all round bad guy, but as time went on and I woke up to his overall good looks and beautiful nature, he started to evolve... at least in my imagination. Anyway... yeah... no biggie guys... it's all good!

 

Hey, they had Carols by Candlelight on at the park tonight. I stood out the back in the carpark and watched them for a few minutes... that was definately the highlight of my evening. That and coming on here, of course! *yay!* It's awesome... I just stood there staring up at the sky and thought about all you guys whom I've never really met and never will and thought ' wow, I wish I could share this with you.' Yeah. Anyway... um...

Not much else to prattle about tonight. Don't have any great reason to rant... or more correctly, nothing has spurned me to rant yet. Wait a while, it'll cme back to me, I'm sure!

 

Take care guys *big Bourdie bear hugs to all* TTYL,

-Rav

[Black_Angel]

Wow... the CoB has been going for over 5 months Just a random observation lol. But anyway, yeah! *throws Rob shaped confetti*

[Pheonix791989]

hey rav have you seen the movie the crow? if not I reccomend it. I think that the main character would be a perfect role to play. you know the resurected from the dead, imortal, kicking ass type character that has a soft spot for a kid and disapears in the blink of an eye. But in other sense I'm glad u like my story. I hope that the next chapters will be less intense (*snort* yeah right) hey i was watching some movie but the story line would be something rob worthy, it was some forigen film though. well im out

phi

[Ravynlee]

Hey Phi - yes I have seen that movie, actually, it's an awesome movie too (*sob* Brandon Lee was sexay! Not Rob-hot, but sexay none the less. Just like Jeff Buckley... man, hope Rob's gonna be okay, all the cute guys I develop a 'thing for' suddenly up and die! *gulp* Call me the black widow spider of LPF, eh? *s******s* Uh-hu )

Rob as the lead character; Eric Draven, is it not? Now that would be sweet... *awww*

I could see that... but Rob doing the black/goth thing...? Um... not so sure. He seems to me (I'm sorry for this in advance) a typical American jock, at least in appearance. The all-round boy-next-door. Complete with backwards-fitting baseball cap... yup. Sorry.

 

But don't panic about trying to make the story less intense or whatever. Let the story write itself, let the characters evolve. If it feels write and the 'drama/intensity' befits the story and adds depth to it,etc, then go with it. Don't force it into places it doesn't want to go - it will stifle the great work you've put in so far not to mention your creative flow... trust me. *innocent smile*

Personally I like angst. I like drama. I like romance too (which gal doesn't in some small way?) Even comedy has its place. But I like the intensity you have going in 'half of me.' It works.

Anyway... write what you're confortable with... it's all good so far.

 

Black_Angel; wow, that long huh? 0_o ?!? Gitouttahere! *laughs* Not bad for a bunch of drooling fanatics worshipping the NON-LEADMEN of LP (no Chaz/no Mike!) Yay Robbie!! We love ya gorgeous! Here's to another 5 months at least of doing what we love to do here - DROOLING and OBSESSING over A DRUMMER! *cheers*

 

Much <3 2 da CoB.

 

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

i think im gonna have time to update the story later cuz I'm home with a virus and if I can keep from yarfing all over the keyboard it will be all good

[Ravynlee]

*Aw - hands Phi a kleenex*

Hope you feel better soon, hon. Much <3 and warm get-well-soon thoughts.

 

Have read and reviewed your story, as always. It is all good, isn't it? *s******s*

 

Here's a pic to 'go' with that latest update of Phi's Rob-related story. If y'all haven't read it yet (you should) just enjoy the pic anyway... I'm sure it's been here before but *meh* thought it was 'befitting.' BTW, the guy has strange moves when it comes to defending himself. Having said that, I really wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of any punches he started throwing, that's for damn certain...

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7a3c21bcadb197be62854ef999875104.jpg

 

And Rob's response that he finally get's the girl and the happy ending? (oops - spoiler!);

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/59f97f87a8813571214f163b986b81ef.jpg

 

PRICELESS!

 

Take care CoBers. Much <3 2 y'all. TTYL,

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

me either rav. with those arms it would be super painful to get clocked by him. oh and nice spoiler XD. but hey cant forget about other factors in the story. *cough cough* But hey its all good so things would be nice. ( I personally wouldnt mind being clocked by rob, I bet not too many people can say that its happened to them.) But I wouldnt want to irk our lord like that. I think that would be called blasphamy or something like that.

phi

 

edit: I cant believe my dad made me go to school today. I puked all over him when I got out the door. I will do it again tomorrow if I have to

[Ravynlee]

Yeah, but as big and brawny and solid as the big guy is (who else, our tall lord) he still claims *cough* liar *cough* that Mr Hahn is stronger than he is. Having said that he would know, when you spend as much time as they all do together, and being young robust men full of pith and vigor *laughs - I'm not touching that one* I'm sure it's natural that they rough-house from tme to time. Mr Hahn is quite a stocky fella too, so it's quite possible. Besides all that, Rob's weapon of choice is a drumstick and his arms are usually flailing all over the place but Mr Hahn... no wait, he does that too. *laughs again* Okay, well, maybe for the sake of arguement Joe's probably got more of a temper than Rob has. I reckon you could probably walk up and king-hit the big guy and as shocked as he'd be I reckon he'd stand there and take it. He strikes me as the type who'll let the situation calm down before he approaches you later and says in a calm voice, "Man, what the hell was that for?" and expect a deep and meaningful. *lol* Yeah. He's a lover not a fighter... or in the case of Phi's story, he's both! Aint that right Phi? *hehehe*

And agreed - I bet the only person who could say has ever really been on the wrong end of Robbie's bad side would be his brother David. Let's ask Dave how hard Rob hits? *smirks* What do you mean he hit's like a girl??? *bursts out laughing*

*sigh*

 

Well... glad you liked the pix. That's what I'm here for. Sux your dad made you go to school when you're obviously not better. Can't you get the nurse to send you home again? Waste of time I suppose... but still *grr @ your dad* You should be getting better not getting schoolwork. Oh well, parents in their infinate wisdom usually think differently than their offspring/has his own agenda. I'm sure whatever they are he had his reasons. Doesn't help you though does it? *meh* Well. Sorry bout that.

 

Um... what else? Not much. Blasphemy? I commit that here on a regular basis. But I like to think I can get away with it. Surely even Catholic priests cuss their lord's name in vain when they strike their thumb with a hammer or something? 0_o? Anyhoo... And if 'to think is to do' then *laughs out loud and very wickedly* I'm a downright sinner. I'm sinning all the time in my thoughts - and gasp! - not always with Rob (but 98.2% of the time, but who's counting?) Man, why am I always scraping my mind out of the gautter when I leave this place? *shrugs*

Guess I'm not the self-proclaimed Rob-ranter for nothing, huh?

 

Well, take care CoBites. CoBourdonites. Bourdon-boppers. Bippy's. *grins*

Here's one last thing I'm gonna say before I go again;

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/536865a9a69c44e869060580649a3113.jpg

Thanks Rob. Couldn't have said it better myself!

 

<3 to the CoB from the tall lord and me,

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

(rolls eyes) of course. Guys cant live with em and u cant live with out him. that one part, with him hitting like a girl.... -_-* (sweatdrop) I guess that means I hit like a man. (meh) What do you think about my new siggy? its not a rob one but its pretty good after all. Maybe if we get lucky enough to get clocked by the lord we can tell for ourselves. But alas not a snowballs chance in you know where for that. (hands u a spatula to scrape your mind out) have fun.

phi

[Ravynlee]

Thanks Phi - and thanks for the spatula. This is the Holy spatula used to attack persons during a festive foodfight or some such earlier on in the CoB kitchen I'm assuming? *laughs* Will come in very handy...

 

Yeah, your sig is kewl. Brandon Lee - major droolage. *grin* I noticed you'd changed it the other day - nice, yes, even if it isn't you-know-who. Despite how I make it sound (shock-horror) there is actually other guys out there roaming the planet (although Mr Lee, bad case in point *uneasy laughter* But you get the message right... hmm) What do you think of mine? Was playing this morning (it's 3:08 am and so hot I can't sleep! ) and this is what I came up with... well, it's a start anyway...

 

You hit like a guy? Rooly? *laughs* Maybe you can kick Joe's ass when he kicks Rob's then, huh? *s******* As if that's ever gonna happen either... *sigh*

 

Well, hope you're feeling better.

Wish Rob would distribute more 'presents' under the mistletoe (after reading/reviewing your stoty, I'm referring to).

I'm hot and bothered. Time to go again.

TC & TTYL, *hugs*

 

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

go figure. i knew that there was a reason ur my best friend on the boards. ur siggy, it rocks. well as far as the hits like a guy thing goes.... well just talk to all the guys that I fight in martial arts, they think that I hit like a guy when I slam them into a wall and start wailing on them for smacking my butt. but hey, i cant exactly say that I dont hit like one. drumming can pay off with that and help. XD. guys can be such....gr... when they get the crap beat out of them by a girl. I'm feeling a little better today. just being in here with u and Rob makes it all good. as for the next chapter in the story....(evil grin) your just gonna have to wait and see.

phi

[Ravynlee]

Cheeky gal you are... but I still love ya *hugs* and glad you're feelin better too. As for the story... *skulks impatiently in the background*

But go girl-power! Guys can be such sore losers... let alone to a girl that's also a drummer. It's like an automatic challenge/threat to their maledom... wankers. Glad to see you're standin' up for yourself... Hate to lose my best friend here too! *awww*

Glad you're goin' good. Hope to catch up again soon!

Peace out & TC,

 

-Rav

[acdcrules04]

o geeze... i havn't been here forever! and i don't feel like reading all of the pages *holds bucket for whoever* hopefully i'll remember to come back

rock on rob lovers

[Ravynlee]

OMFG - I HAVE IT!

An up-to-date pic of ROB! Taken at the Billboard awards 2005 Dec 06 @ Las Vegas, Nevada.

OMG I'm so excited to see new pix of him I almost soiled myself! No, for real! *laughs*

Courtesy of GettyImages;

http://editorial.gettyimages.com

There's about 8 images in the set of the guys (Rob, Brad and Mike) arriving at the awards... I don't have any though of them on stage though (aparently giving award with someone else? Should do my homework better, but anyway, that's irrelevant!)

 

So without further ado, here's our tall brooding lord looking as hot and serious and swarve as ever... drool yourself silly! Know I am... *swoons*

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/0ebc60985090da7c83b7b9f7654ee47d.jpg

 

OMFG! OMFG! *hyperventilating*

No, really, all jokes aside just glad to see him around again. I know the guys are busy with their album and all but Mike and Chas have been out hogging the limelight so much it's almost easy to forget the other half of the band exist! *sob* Nice to see them out and about for a brief glimpse... now I'm happy again... *sigh of contentment*

 

Hope y'all enjoyed! TC & TTYL,

-Rav

[Pheonix791989]

nice new pic rav. me likey...(drools on teh floor in a huge puddle) glad to see that our lord is still as gorgeous as ever. I cant wait for the next album to come out, just between us here on the CoB, I think I might have the new single. It sounds like something Rob would drum up and its actualy pretty good. If the rest of the album sounds along those lines, then count me in for getting it.

[Black_Angel]

Nice new pic Rav <333 He looks older, heh maybe its because of his glasses and his stubbely stubbleness.

Lol I've just noticed, but he has a nice nose XD Its small and nice and a little turned up... awww

[acdcrules04]

lmao... it seems he's the only one that does the stubble thing. oh well, it looks good . major droolage, thanks rav!

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

I've got to say... this is an odd thread. I've never been here before. ::little confused::

[Pheonix791989]

well welcome BTH from the 2nd in comand. hope you'd like to stick around here.

[Ravynlee]

I've got to say... this is an odd thread. I've never been here before. ::little confused::

 

Yep - pretty much covers the general content here. We are a strange bunch - but then it kinda goes without saying. I'm not sure exactly what people think we do in here, or what should go on more to the point, but the fact we're called 'The Church of Bourdon' and let's face it we've had enough coverage around this forum to let people know the deal really, should be a fair indication I'd think. Maybe logic escapes me. It happens from time to time. *meh*

 

Of course we carry on and dribble crap about who else but Rob (pretty much exclusively) because A) this thread is so named for that purpose and B) because we can. C) If we wanted to incorporate general discussion and carry on about anyone else we'd go to their respective 'houses of worship' or other appropriate threads and run amok there. Makes sense don'tcha think? And despite it all I'd like to think that the fact we are so crazy (for want of a better word) and tend to get carried away at times (and make comments that would seem obscure to some - stubbly stubbliness - sweet example! XD) is part of the appeal I'd hope. So we don't 'act' like the rest of those 'churches' and so forth - *meh* Like I care. At the end of the day that's why we have far more activity happening here and a lot more views than the other places. *looks innocent* Not like I've been keeping score or anything... aha... yeah... rite... (bad Dr Evil impersonation, if you can imagine it) *ahem* But that, and we're having fun being a little off-kilter here. Well I am. If somone else isn't I have one piece of advice for you - in the words of a song we should all know and love around these here parts; 'don't stay.'

 

Well... rant over with for now. Whew, feel energized again. I like arguing for a just cause but still irks me some people don't get this place or the crap we dribble. It's been going on for months now... *sigh* Yes, obscure to some. But it's all in the name of fun and no one gets hurt (physically at least ) but after reading a few posts the idea of what goes on in here should be fairly clear. Maybe I'm vague. Happens on occasion. *shrugs* Okay, climbing down off high-horse now. Whew! Long way up for a short-@$$ like myself. *laughs* View's nice though... still... if I stay up there I'll get a nosebleed or something, I'm short, unlike our tall brooding Lord, so he probably wouldn't even need to stretch to reach it... (vague enough for anyone? *laughs moronically* (did I just make another word up? I'm so cleva! Good speller too... gah!)

 

Anyway, agreed Black_Angel - stubbly stubbliness is danged fine that's for sure. Not quite lumberjack, not quite boy-next-door, but a nice hybrid of sorts. I like the rough look. Sometimes he can be too good at it;

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/5d07f96e6317a96c600960440f02a3af.jpg

A case in point. Rob crawling out of bed and straight into a meet and greet. His first question, 'Like, dude, where am I today?' (Refer to Rob's video diary entry over at LPU for that classic vague expression - priceless!)

God Bless My Bourdon. Um, Our Bourdon. Sorry, got territorial there for a second. *hehehe*

 

Part 2 to the meet and greet;

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/303c67ee170fb0ec0a7a3e47f48324a5.jpg

'Dude, I think I just signed my name as 'Joe Hahn'... damn, not again!' *laughs* Ahhh, poor Robbie!

 

Anyway, good thing we love him not just for his brains then, huh? (Wait, that prolly came out wrong... ahahaha... yeah. *looks innocent*)

 

just between us here on the CoB, I think I might have the new single.

How's this possible Mel?!? *freaks out* How-? *gasp* when-? *double gasp* How on earth could you possibly know yet? Are you stalking the carpark of their recording studio again? XD Good girl. Regardless, need the info... hell, anything you could upload would be even better (esp. Robliness, if you get the idea) I'd sell my first born for that! (Good thing I'm single then, huh?!)

Anyway... just intrigued. Don't yank my chain for the hell of it... unless of course you're into that sort of thing naturaly *laughs and rolls eyes for a third time this post* Doing that a lot lately, huh? Hmmm...

 

Anyway, glad that everyone's stopping by. Hope everyone's well. Love to all, as always. *Big Bourdie bear hugs*

Take care and TTYL,

 

-Rav

(Ranting Rabbi of CoB)

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

Hey rav! LOVE the new sig so nice! and you mention me in it awww *feels loved*

 

Drool to all the pictures! that is pure hotness!

[Ravynlee]

Woo-Hoo guys! Over 1000 replies! *doin' the happy dance - doin' the happy dance* And they said it wouldn't last! *pfft!*

 

So thanks guys for making us a staple at LPF - or something at LPF... some would agrue we're just a bunch of weirdos with too much time on our hands and an otherwise unhealthy obsession on a Linkin Park bandmember, but *meh* to them. We're still here and going strong - thanks to you CoBers! It's party time at the CoB! Well... will be when I get my act together and organise something I guess. Seeing as how this post is like 20 or so posts late, but anyway... better late than never I guess huh?

 

*big Bourdie bear hugs from the ranting Rabbi who has absolutely no qualifications in Judaism or Bourdonism whatsoever* (would like to study Bourdonism 101 @ college... bet he'd make for a hell of a show and tell, huh? Sorry... going overboard in my excitement as usual... hard to contain my enthusiasm when I'm in here... I'll try and behave... for now... *evil smirk*)

 

Hey Rusu! Glad you like my new siggy! Took me a while but I got there in the long run, that's the main thing I guess. I have a red one too, exactly the same but red, so the rain looks a little like fire. Was just messing around... anyway, when get sick of blue I'll prolly switch to red... or just make something else. That's highly likely as of late. Just Vash gave me the highest compliment for it over at the rate new sig thread so I'm reluctant to change just now. Vash+praise=heaven... and a happy Rav, naturally!

And of course you're in it! You're an integral part of my fav place here online - if I remembered everyone's names in the CoB I'd add them but lately it's just been the regulars and they deserve the props - so much love to the CoBers sticking it out with me! *more hugs*

 

Well, take care! TTYL,

well I'll be uploading it or maybe sending it to you directly. I got it from my cousin "kenji" (cough cough) sent it to me with direct orders to not send it to everyone in the US, but seeing that you dont live in the US (XD i guess thats the loop hole.) but it has something to do with a studio, mike, and a dancing reindeer. (put some sense to that one.) but if I can get ur email I could send it to you. It might be the single if "kenji" isnt yanking my chain.

[Ravynlee]

Update - 'Kenji' was yanking the chain. It's not the new single... but still, nice to dream, innit? *sigh*

 

C'mon guys... c'mon Bourdie... get your fingers' out... I wanna hear/see/be totally saturated in the LP frenzy that's sure to ensue when the new album comes out. And if not... I'll start it myself *grins* Bloody riots here are getting to me - subconsciously at least Rioting for Rob. I like the sound of that one...

 

We want Bourdie! We want Bourdie! We want Bourdie!"

 

*sigh*

 

It's a lot tougher to start a riot in a room of one.

*wanders off dejectedly*
