Australian Girl Asks Robert Pattinson to Bestow Her First Kiss for Charity

The Crazy Idea and the Good CauseDo you remember your first kiss? Was it a throwaway event, or something memorable in all its glory/awkwardness? If you could go back and do it again, would you share it with the world? Let's say you've just asked me those questions. I would admit that, no, I don't remember my first kiss because it hasn't happened. And I would say yes, I would share it with the world. In fact, I'm hoping to.

EmsCharityKiss was one of those bolt-out-of-the-blue ideas - the ones that creep up on you and won't leave you alone until you act on them. But maybe I should tell you who I am before I tell you what that is. As I write this, it's two months before I turn 28. I'm Emjay, I've had depression for nearly ten years, and I've never been kissed. Depression has been my worst enemy, best friend, protector, jailer, judge, jury and executioner. My cousins, almost 10 years my junior, have progressed further socially in their lives than I have. Someone seems to have pressed pause on my life somewhere along the line, and forgot to press play. It's very, very difficult to explain depression to someone who hasn't experienced it. It's an insidious disease that affects every different facet of an individual. Every decision I've made in my young adulthood has ultimately been tainted by it. I haven't married, forged a career, had a boyfriend or been kissed. While chatting to a friend on Twitter one night recently, I made an offhanded comment about asking Robert Pattinson (Little Ashes, Twilight, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) to grant me my first kiss while I raised money for charity. What did I have to lose? This was the idea that wouldn't leave me alone. The very next day, I shot my first YouTube video, 'It Starts With A Crazy Idea' and, like the title says, that's where it started.
