Hello,
Blow Rob
My name is Blow Rob. I'm two years old now, and I am a big fan of RobNation.org. Maybe that is because the owner of the site created me, I don’t know, some crazy attraction or something. Anyway, I don’t have many hobbies. I spend most of my time deflated in a box chillen. I get checked in on a lot. Sheepy likes to stop in and visit and make sure I’m comfortable and don’t need anything. When it’s convention time, that’s when it gets wild. I come alive with a lot of excitement. That’s what I look forward to more then anything! Sheepy gets me out of my box and inflates me and dresses me so cool and takes me to these Twilight Conventions and I am the most popular blow up guy around. All these chicks take pictures of me and with me and next thing you know I am all over the net and Twitter! It’s really cool. So you might see me around sometime. If you do, stop by and say hello! I’m a really laid back guy. I hope to meet my hero Robert Pattinson some day and have a chat and a Heineken. That’s all I can think of for now. Hope to see you soon!
<3 always,Blow Rob

How I Became A Fan of Rob: Well I actually became a fan by accident. I love vamp movies but when I saw the Twilight previews I rolled my eyes every time. I had no desire to see the movie. I didn't even care to read the books either. I don't like to read. My son (who is now 16) nagggggeeeeddddd me to read the books. Finally, totally unwillingly, I did. I had surgery and had nothing else to do. So I read Twilight and fell in love. I followed with the other 3 books and completed them in a week and a half. I pursued Robert. I have to admit...I was smitten by him as Edward. I started to do research and realized I had seen him in Harry Potter of course. The more research I did, the more I adored him as a person. His wit, his silliness......his everything! So here I am now, three years later, still smitten, lol.
Favorite Rob Quote: "Technically I am driving, but I don't actually know how to drive"
Favorite Rob Film: Little Ashes. His diversity just amazes me!
Tell us something about yourself: I'm a Mom of 2, work part time and spend way too much time collecting Twilight stuff, LOL. I LOVE going to the conventions and meeting new people. I'm a very bouncy person usually. I am very grateful for all of the members of RobNation.org. This website was made for all of you so thank you for making it what it is today.

How I Became a Fan of Rob: My interest in Rob was sparked after first seeing him in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I didn't really see much of Rob after that until he was cast as Edward Cullen in Twilight. After I saw the film I did some online research and I found some interviews he did for it and I found some photos from the set. I instantly fell in love with his sense of humor and his personality. Young adults who get thrown into the Hollywood world seem to lose sight of who they were before they got anywhere. Rob doesn't seem like that at all, and I absolutely love that.
Favorite Rob Quote: "I look like an inflatable frankfurter."
Favorite Rob Quote: "I look like an inflatable frankfurter."
Favorite Rob Film: Remember Me
Interests: Writing, film, art, music, literature, studying the human psyche, disability awareness education and advocacy, baseball, organic and vegetarian cooking, gardening, working out, spending time with family and friends, traveling, self-discovery, living life as if each day is my last, and anything RPattz related.
Tell Us Something About Yourself: I'm about 3/4 of the way finished with my master's program in Marriage and Family Therapy. My motto in life is completely cliche, but entirely indicative of my personality - "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I'm a self-proclaimed and unashamed Twilight junkie (something the majority of my friends and family love to make fun of me for). My "day job" is in social services, but I also work for Examiner.com as the National Robert Pattinson Examiner. I aspire to be a published author someday. I'm a FanFiction junkie - I write it and I read it. I love going to movies and reading books. I try to paint - I'm no Picasso, but it's an amazingly therapeutic activity. I have no human children, but I do have a cat and a bulldog who are my own version of kids. I also love to travel. It's totally cheesy, but every day I say a silent thanks to Stephenie Meyer, because I've met so many amazing people through the Twilight fandom, and made a lot of great friends along the way. And, of course, thank you to Rob a million times over. It sounds so silly, but your work has brought me some of the best friends and most amazing experiences I've ever had. For that I will forever be indebted to you. :)<3<3 xoxo

How I Became a Fan of Rob: I became a fan of Rob's like most people, after seeing Twilight. There was something about him I was fascinated with so I started watching all of his interviews on YouTube and that is when I knew I would be a huge fan of his for a long time to come. He was funny, down to earth, humble. awkward and shy and I just couldn't get enough of watching him. While I do still love Twilight, I have become more of a Rob fan than a Twilight fan. While I will always love him as Edward Cullen, I love his other characters even more.
Favorite Rob Quote: "A soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense."

Tell Us Something About Yourself: I have been happily married for over 12 years to my wonderful husband Joey. We don't have any kids but have two dogs, Xena and Titan, that are our babies. I like to write Twilight Fanfiction and someday hope to write my own original novel. I work in the customer service/internet marketing field and am currently working with my Mom setting up our own business. The most important things in the world to me are my friends, family, and extended Robchick family. The people I have met through Rob fandom, including the wonderful staff and members of other Rob fansites, are amazing. There is is such a feeling of community and friendship with everyone, all because we have that one thing in common....we love Rob. I am very thankful to Rob for bringing these wonderful people into my life. It is quite a gift.

How I Became a Fan of Rob: I recall watching "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" with my daughter in 2005. I told my daughter not to forget the actor who played Cedric Diggory because I knew the world would be seeing a lot more of Robert Pattinson on the big screen one day. My daughter was 7 years old at the time and naturally she asked me how I knew what would occur in the future. My reply was a simple one. "Sweet-pea, some things are blatantly obvious."
Favorite Rob Quote: "You can never be known for what you want to be known for," he notes. "People will know you for whatever they want to know you for." - Robert Pattinson, 2009 (Apr) The Independent.
Favorite Rob Film: Remember Me & Water for Elephants
Interests: Advocate for animals and humans, Community Volunteer, Yoga, Philosophy, Universal Peace, Microbiology, Research, Reading, Traveling, Growing vegetables, and Robert Pattinson's career.
Tell Us Something About Yourself: I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Purdue University. My current licensure is Registered Nurse with a BSN specializing in cardiovascular intensive care. I am a single mom with a completely awesome daughter whose spirit and sense of self never ceases to amaze me. Three adopted cats and a Polish bunny complete our delightful family. I rescue stray cats, provide their veterinarian care, and find secure homes for them. I enjoy being outdoors, love to laugh, and help others especially ones who don't quite fit in. I agressively pursue peace and kindness for all which begins with the simple act of a smile. The beauty of our Earty and mysteries of the universe astound and inrigue me. I strongly believe in the concept of "karma," consider myself a "jack of all trades but master of nothing," and my life's philosophy is: Leave it better than you found it.

How I Became a Fan of Rob: I became a fan of Rob on February 23, 2010, when a friend of mine made me listen to "Bella's Lullaby." That afternoon I saw "Twilight" for the first time, and from that moment I couldn't do without it. Gradually I have seen his previous films, increasing my love for him. Then I saw "Remember Me" and I was really impressed. From "Water for Elephants" I noted that: Rob is a wonderful actor, down to Earth, not like others who boast of their success, full of talent. And sexy (but you knew that already). ;) Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to meet him personally, but I hope to do so as soon as I come of age.
Favorite Rob Quote: "If you're in love with anyone, I think the majority of people would say, 'If I have to die for this person, I will.' I mean, you don't really love someone if you're like, 'No. Just let them die.'"
Favorite Rob Film: Remember Me and Water for Elephants (I can't wait for Bel Ami and Cosmopolis!)
Interests: I love all music (especially piano music, it drives me crazy!) and have a passion for computers and video editing.
Tell Us Something About Yourself: I'm a nice girl, I like to entertain people while keeping them happy, courageous, but very shy at the same time. I have a family that loves me very much and I have the greatest best friends on the world, and would do anything to protect them. I have the European Computer Driving License. I'm very sensible, a sentimentalist, a girl who daydreams. Every little gesture is important to me. Some define me as a "white fly" where I come from - it means to be a rare person who can't be found easily. I have the "easy tear," every romantic thing I see I start crying like a baby. I love animals very much, I'd love to have a little dog. One day I would like to live in London with my best friend and finally get to meet Rob (when he's there, of course!) and his sister Lizzy, I also love her a lot! I love children, I would do anything to protect them and keep them safe from bad people. I don't think there's anything left to add, just ... TEAM ROBERT PATTINSON FOR LIFE!
