Subject: Read before viewing attached
Attachment: Nose

Sorry for the group email but dashing this off before I get herded to bed with a bag of frozen peas as I didn't want anyone to worry if they read I was injured.

Which is not anything to be worried about, although it's a good job I don't have anything invested in being 'cool' because a rock star whacking himself in the face onstage is about as uncool as it gets, lol.

My band kindly provided the attached photo of my bashed nose and I expect I will spend the next several years being called punk rock. That's okay, they never know what I'll draw on their bananas.

Mari is giving me that Look that says I should haul ass so I'll speak with you all individually over the next couple days. Bus is on the way to Glasgow for tomorrow night's show.

Kisses, Rob


P.S. Bananas is not a euphemism - I take a Sharpie to the fruit tray.

The only part of today that wasn't fan-fucking-tastic was not having you boys to make me coffee and breakfast before such an early start! ;-) Kisses.

( It doesn't matter if it's just him and Mark in the house or all three of them, the kitchen is very much Jon's home. Somewhere down the line that's stopped feeling like a surprise, just like somewhere along the way he's adjusted to Rob coming and going between L.A. and New York, and it's all good. Now Rob is in L.A. and Jon has a fresh batch of bread ready to put into the oven and yeah, it's a good afternoon. )

I'm so sorry, baby. Complicated relationship just makes for a complicated reaction to news like this, but I know it still hurts. Make sure you take all the time you need to grieve, okay? It's different when it's your mother.

I'll talk to you Sunday as usual but if you need me before that, just page me and I'll call, any time of day. I know you've got Christian with you - and I'm very fucking glad you do - but that's what the pager's for.

Love you.

Kisses,
Rob

[Players, not puppets. matchbox_rob and j_rhys_meyers go on a date for their anniversary. Backdated: May 4, 2011.]

( It's not often they do this. Rob's dates with Jon tend to be informal, and rarely revolve around food, given both of them have some issues in that area. And Jon doesn't need the kind of romancing that Mark so enjoys. But that doesn't mean that Rob doesn't want to do it anyway sometimes, so here they are all dressed up, eating dinner together at the Est restaurant, like many another couple on their anniversary. Some classics, Rob likes just the way they are. )

( Salad, Rob learned a long time ago, is easy. Chopping board, sharp knife, watch your fingers and away you go. Salad dressing is even easier – when it comes from a bottle, anyway. Tonight, however, Rob is making dinner for Mark, both of them in the same place and with enough breathing room for the boy to finally cash in his 'coupon' for Rob the House Chef, and part of the deal is that Rob's doing everything from scratch. )

Hey, if you're stuck without power, you and Romy are more than welcome to come out to the house.

( Anticipation doesn't begin to cover what Jon's feeling right now. It's not even a complicated scene – probably, he's not entirely sure what Rob has in mind – but it's one he's been after forever. )

Subject: Point Foundation Gala

Sir,

I'm performing at the Gala on April 4th, so a week from tomorrow - I don't know if you know the charity; they do scholarships for LGBT youth. Anyway, my management sent me a list of the other 'celebrity' type people who are supposed to be attending this thing, and Ellen is one of them. As in, your ex-wife.

She knows about me, right? I mean, I know you're friends, and I know we talked about you telling your kids, but I can't remember now about Ellen.

Is there anything I should - or shouldn't! - say?

Kisses, Rob

[Players, not puppets. matchbox_rob wakes j_rhys_meyers one lazy morning. Current: March 14, 2011.]

( It's late enough that Mark's already left for rehearsal; early enough that Rob doesn't want to get out of bed. But nature calls so he does, and when he pads back to the bed, he stops for a moment to watch Jon, amused that as soon as he's given some extra space, the boy manages to fill it. How someone that slim can sprawl quite so broadly escapes Rob. )

Subject: Early spring shindig!

Mark, Jon and I are throwing a party on Saturday night, March 5th to celebrate spring. Yes, it's a bit early, but that's what fits in between Jon getting back to L.A. from filming in Europe and the new season of Mark's show. *g*

Party will be in the upstairs studio – lots of space to dance and lots of musical instruments that anyone can play. Accounted for: drum kit, various acoustic and electric guitars, couple of bass guitars, two smaller-sized keyboards, piano. Feel free to bring your own, and there's a massive CD collection plus Mark makes killer playlists, in case no one feels like jamming.

Food, drink – alcoholic and non, and smiles provided. Also sleeping space for anyone who wants to stay over. Let me know if you're bringing a car so I can tell the parking authority how many to ignore. ;-)

Bring a guest too, if you like, just please let me know who – if I'm not expecting someone, they won't get buzzed in through the gate. Which is also your cue to RSVP!

Hope to see you there,
Rob
