Dear Zac and Vanessa:
I think those of us at VABN have been a little selfish. As you may know, Jill has put together this great Kuippo Survival Guide for us to deal with the fact that you two are separated and we probably won’t see any pictures of you together in a really long time. This is the longest drought that we are witnessing on VABN even though we know you’ve had to deal with this before when Zac was filming Hairspray and Vanessa was on tour. So, we wanted to check in…how are you two doing so far? Supposedly absence makes the heart grow fonder and pretty much any successful relationship (celebrity or non-celebrity) deals with some sort of separation. So we know that this isn’t a bad thing but no doubt it is hard! Just to share a personal story of my own, I remember sobbing to my roommate when I dropped my BF off at the airport–we were long distance for an entire year while he was finishing school–and it sucked but somehow we made it through and he’s now my husband. So based on my experiences that didn’t include all of latest technology (I wish I had an &Annie&Davey), here are my suggestions to help you get through this separation!
7 Separation To-Do’s:
1. Schedule call dates during the week when you won’t be interrupted preferably from the comforts of your hotel room or trailer to ensure a private conversation (wink, wink)…of course, the other option is to actually iChat…even better than the actual phone…if you haven’t figured out how to do this with &Annie&Davey, I’d be glad to walk you through it or apple.com has great customer support.
2. End every call with at least “I love you and miss you!” Or, “I miss your fill in the blank and can’t wait to fill in the blank!”
3. Write texts during breaks in filming or while eating foods that remind you of each other.
4. Go to http://blog.vanashbrenique.net at least once per day to get caught up on the love and support of your fans plus any cute candids that may have surfaced. Of course, not from the stalkerazzi…we aren’t very happy with them right now.
5. Listen to You are the Music in Me at least once per day–the video would be even better.
6. Plan when you will see each other–from what I’ve heard about V–I’m sure this is already in process or scheduled. Maybe when Zac returns stateside to NY? A few days between filming? It is important to make this happen and it may be spontaneous. It is ok if we don’t find out about it–we just want it to happen cause we’re all a little romantic about you guys. We hope you use your teams to help you get this arranged and if they are slacking, please let us know and we’d be glad to assist.
7. Travel and/or talk to your moms–which we’ve heard you are doing. This means that when you start really missing each other, they can provide support, and say things like–”I know she/he misses you as much as you miss her/him” or “it will go by fast if you keep busy”or ”let’s get some food.”
So we are counting the days with you and just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about your needs as well–hope this helps. We are looking forward to the end of your drought.
xoxo

Good advice Marcie! My boyfriend had to leave for 2 months on a business thing and uninterrupted daily chats really helped ;D

That is very good advice. Zac has always said they have great communication, so I’m sure they are doing all of the things you mentioned.

great ideas, and as you’ve mentioned we all deal with this at one time or another. and by being smart–which we know they are–they should come through this stronger than ever.
so even if we never get proof that they took your advice, the kuuipo within each of us will believe that they have, and as always squee about it with our fellow fangirls!
thanks.

I know keeping close with my Mom really helps while my boyfriend is up at school =)
She’s been keeping me busy so I can’t cry to her about it =P
