Coming To Rob
There is always a lot of talk on the forum about how we became Twilight fans and why we started giving a crap about Robsten. OH MY ROB!!! Our boy Pattinson was actually the one who brought me to Twilight. The first time I noticed him was when I was looking at photos of the premiere of Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. I was furiously searching the internets for all things Potter. Then BAM! I see this here Adonis in his red velvet and leather.
My loins burst into flames. Then it occurred to me, “WOAH THERE Pedophile, back the fuck up! He’s a kid and you cannot lust after him.” So I tucked it back a little and after the movie was done being promoted and I was reading new HP books and going on with my life, I forgot all about Robbie.
Fast-Forward four years, I’m married and living in Canuckistan. I start hearing whisperings from my female compatriots of a new book series that is “The New Harry Potter”. I scoff of course because I’m a bitch, and a snob, and an elitist. I see a few things on the nets and on TV about hoards of screaming teenage girls freaking the fuck out over this “Twilight phenomenon”. I become even MORE resistant to paying attention to it because screaming girls are no thx. Then I saw a few pictures in an entertainment magazine and I SEE HIS FACE. I thought, “Oooooh. The loin burner from Harry Potter! And he’s OLDER now! Well within the legal age of lust! I was right! He IS going to be super-famous!”
But I was still resistant to Twilight. The movie came out at the end of November and I totally ignored it. Women I knew were like “you’re an idiot,” and I was un-moved. Months pass and in March, right after the DVD came out, I was bored one night and said to my man, “Hey…why don’t you download that Twilight movie for me so I can stare at that guy for two hours?” See, I had no idea what Rob’s name was at that point, but I knew he was gorgeous.
Two hours later I was sitting there with my mouth open. And I watched it again immediately. The movie wasn’t the best, but I was REALLY impressed by Rob & Kristen. Especially by Rob. I thought the music in the film was EXCELLENT. I particularly liked the song when Bella was “dying” and Spotlight by MuteMath. The next day it was bothering me. I HAD to know what happened. So I got the books and Midnight Sun on PDF. I started with New Moon because I had just watched Twilight, then Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, and I read Twilight last. I was done for. I felt like such an ass for not paying attention to it earlier. After I was done with the books I was bereft. What now?
So I started YouTubing the shit out of Rob, and at first I had a bad image of Kristen in my head because I was suffering from mild retardation and reading Perez Hilton. Once I realized what a douche-nozzle he is and that Kstew was coolx1000, I started YouTubing her as well. After I exhausted my YouTube resources, I started typing their names into Google News every day from work. That’s how I came across the Ted vs Lainey debate on Robsten. THAT was what pushed me over the edge into insanity. HOOKED. I tracked down all the old blog posts Ted & Lainey had ever done on them , and then one day Ted put a link in one of his posts to a forum and I found my new favorite place! While I was super embarrassed about caring about the love-lives of two real-life people (and I’m still embarrassed), I also felt like I was not alone anymore. And I met my Robsten Soulmates: Chonga, Ever, OTW, Spunk, and Smom. Fast-forward three months and we’re building forums and setting up a home of our own.
All because of Rob…his hotness, his brilliance, his humor, his music. When I found out that HE was the one who wrote and performed the song when Bella was “dying” (Let Me Sign) AND the song in the restaurant, I thought I would fucking die. Not only was he super-sexy, he was SUPER talented. I just didn’t think so many beautiful qualities could exist within one man! Now I own Twilight & New Moon on Blu-Ray, all four books in hard-cover,….and a Robsten Forum & Blog. WTF?!
P.S. See, I can write blog posts where I’m not bitching about something 
Wow. I know it isn't the point of this blog post but I can't believe your opinion on Kristen was based off of Perez. Hm.
Was…being the optimum word. I love Stew like fat kids love cake.
You write the bestest blog posts <3 And commenter #1, we've all made mistakes, that was years ago before she realized what a twat he is. I made the same mistake when I first started paying attention to the entertainment world (following Perez, not disliking Stew – always loved her).
LMAO…Loved the post Cee!
Who would have thunk that at 34 i would become obsessed with a YA book series and a very HOT 23 year old…sure as hell not me! But here I am a year and a half later… writing a comment on a Robsten blog, tweeting my 10,436th tweet, own a photobucket full of rob/kris/robsten pics, and embarrassed to admit how many times i have read the twilight series. It's always great to hear how each of us has "come to rob"..and you're account is hilarious! <3
lol funny post
good points
love it !
Awesome blog post! I too found you lovelies thru Ted's link!
But it wasn't Twilight that got me interested in Rob, it was Harry Potter. When I saw him in Goblet of Fire I thought to myself "that's a good looking kid" and my daughter and I discussed it AT LENGTH. lol Later she read the Twi-books and told me "Mom you gotta read these, you'll love em" Then when the movie was coming out she was all over it and came to me and said "MOM! remember that cute guy that we liked from Goblet? He's gonna be Edward!" Needless to say we were ecstatic!! 
I've never posted, but I just wanted to say great job on your blog
I am pretty new to the Twi/Rob/Robsten world. I, too, ignored the books and movies for years because if teenage girls liked them, then I naturally ran the other way. Vampires??? Puh-leeze. But one day in late June of this year, I was looking for something to read, and I caved and bought Twilight. A mere two months later, I have read all 4 books (a couple of them numerous times), have Twilight and New Moon on DVD, have seen Eclipse twice in the theater and am going again this week, and spend every minute I can get away from my kids finding anything and everything out about His Holy Hotness and BB Girl. LOVE them, separately and together, and I love this site!!
Oh Rohbear…no one can resist your charms. Great post, bb. Always love to hear people's stories on how they found Twilight and Rob.
Love your post, as always! I have a very similar path to Twilight/Robsten via Perez, Google, You Tube, Ted so it was really fun to read yours. And they brought me to you & my other h00rs, so I am forever grateful! <3
Thanks Cee AND Rob AND Kristen for bringing our little e-family together! XOXO
OMG! Your story is almost like mine, no clue about TWILIGHT until the DVD came out, then I read the books too and hooked ever since. And I'm a little obsessed with my daily dose of Robsten too.
Can I just say this at least once??? I LOVe you C2R!!!!! I'm dead serious. You are completely awesome and a major part of the reason why I come to this blog every freaking day. Okay..wanna hear my story? This is what happened with me:
My friend Rebecca is a major bookworm… and I swear she had every book on her shelf that you could find in the YA section in Barnes and Noble. Well….one day…she starts begging me to read this book…a little something I like to call Twilight.
*raises eyebrow* I refused. And I DEFINITELY became difficult when she blurted out that it was about vampires. And I was like: "NOPE." But she literally kept saying: "It's not what you think! It's not what you think!!!" But I was still unsure. Finally…I took the book. Because I honestly had nothing to read. So here I am…starting at this black cover with two white hands holding out a fruit….I knew it had a meaning…so I figured I might as well read it to find out. I read the back summary and I was like: "Oh thanks for spoiling the whole thing for me!!" Lol. But I still took a swing and started to read it. I didn't mind reading from this girl's point of view at all. It's the way I prefer to read books actually. And I started to like her. And I wanted to know more about her. But the suspense of this vampire thing had me over the hill. And once she took her first step into that school…I was HOOKED.
And it was SEVERE. Now..look, I'm a Christian girl. And I was kind of freaking out that I was actually reading something that could turn into something I might not like. But…man..the Cullens were not what I thought!!!! I fell in love with them, and became so sympathetic toward them, especially Edward. And the incredible attraction between Edward and Bella was soooooo fascinating. I blew through all four books within five days. And it was one of the best weeks of my life. It felt like if I didn't know Edward and Bella's fate within the next 48 hours…I was going to be dead. Literally. When I finally closed Breaking Dawn…I had to find out more.
Now, this was back in September of 2008 which was actually right around the time when Twilight was about to become a movie and take Hollywood by storm and literally change the world. What did I know? All I knew was that these books were COMPLETELY and UNIVERSALLY incredible and I needed to know more. SO I did what you did. I YouTubed and googled and went crazy. I found out in two months that it was going to be a movie..and that Edward and Bella were coming to life…it just all happened so fast. And then I found out about ROBSTEN. And I watched interviews and saw Edward and Bella come to life in the trailer…I was HOOKED. And then I realized…oh my gosh…these two actors…holy crap they're about to fall in love!!!!! It's just one of those things where you just know. So..I was officially hooked. I became worse than Rebecca. I blew right past her with my passion. I went crazy. And now…I am a full-fledged Twi-Hard, Team Swiss, and a Robsten Shipper all in one.
Can life get any better?

And then ROB!!!! oh MANN…THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER STORY!!! When I found out about him…I was literally passing out. I was like: HOLY CRAP IT'S EDWARD IT'S EDWARD IT'S EDWARD!!! But then there was the holyness of Rob himself!!!! Ridiculously funny, insanely and illegally adorable, incredibly talented, ridiculously gorgeous, such a sweetheart, a songwriter, AND A PIANO PLAYER, and guitar player, and then it was THE HAIR. Ohhhh.. that hair. I found myself laughing about that hair!!!! And then I saw the first interview with Rob and Kristen and that's when my whole perspective changed.Then it became like a two-some thing. Because of Kristen!!!! I was like: MAn she is awesome!!! And I remember seeing her in older movies when I was a kid. I definitely remembered Zathura. I fell over the hill when I saw Rob and Kristen together though. That was definitely my "something more" that I had to see after I closed Breaking Dawn. Over the years…with all the fansites, the people, the books..rob and kristen…it's amazing what happened.
Rosa
don't hate me I, adore Rob and Kris but i,m still on the fence, if they are dating or just close.
I do not want to get my hopes up that they are
friends only,I would rather not be let down.
I will be waiting for the reunion or visit .
Sono una ragazza italiana di 33 anni e ho trovato il tuo blog (che ho salvato tra i segnalibri) grazie alla mia passione per la coppia robsten!!! E la mia passione è nata grazie a Rob, la sua bellezza è arte per me… E adoro Kristen alla follia, sono la mia coppia ideale!! Come vedi non sei da sola!!! Cristina
Long live the shippers Robsten!
@ cougar twilight. Please have to be blind (or not enough content Robsten download), not to see the chemistry with them (Kris and Rob).
I must admit that my entry into the twilight world was so "wonderful" and I could only compare to my entry into the world Robsten. At first I had great importance to the saga (Twilight first saw the movie) was good yes, but I had my doubts (the naive and silly me). Doubts were dispelled with the arrival of the New Moon Movie. But if there was something that was like the grand finale was the arrival in my hands (and my eyes) of the Book. Even, and I'm sure for a long time more (if not Stephanie comes up to finish the book midnight sun), read a book if not as good (I stayed very, very short!) Ever.
And the same with movies … (twilight is the best, as well as film and book), I can only see (millions, actually millions of times) the Twilight movie and book.
But going to the topic of conversation …. please! Most commentators (not all) are … please stop the babies on the topic Rob. And OKEY This well is a great, great actor, but to be honest, so is Kris, as well has its trajectory in the world of acting, and it's okay not to have the talent, but … I would not adequate to comment on "the issue" … but okay !!… the chose her (Kris) and something will be, and I care not much reason (although I'd like to hear, done by " them "), but … Omg !!!!!!, are so ….( there will be the right word??), and only ended as I started ………….
Long live the shippers Robsten!

Wow…loved reading all the comments on here..
@Rosa..I had the same experience as you girl! I was like "vampires??" oh no I am no the type for this stuff..never read or watched anything with these creatures so i was like I'll pass in the beginning..and also I didnt want to read it because it seemed like everybody was reading it and i dont usually like to follow the crowd. My friend tried again swearing to me that it was a romance genre that happened to have vampires (she quoted by Stephenie)…I was still relunctant but gave it a shot, since I am a sucker for romance..I was so hooked and immediately fell in love with Edward and Bella..and the fact that he loved Bella and would do anything to make her happy..I was like.."shit, we need more men like Edward!" and not to mention the lovable CUllens (also loved Emmett and his jokes and innuendos)..Twilight is the first series i have gotten into..was never a HP fan or Star Wars or Pirates of the Carribean or anything like that..
While i would say I am not a shipper..I love Robsten..didnt really start loving them until last year after the Mtv Movie Awards witht the almost kiss..there was just this spark…there was something def. coming on or already on between two of them…i became a active visitor of Ted's site..since I believe he started this whole intrest in Robsten (correct me if i am wrong)..that was back when The AT was more peaceful but now its been infested and has becoming a terrible place..long story short I am glad i found this blog..love it!!!!
and i am missing Rob and KRisten so much! Miss seeing them smiles..the flirts, the bubbles, the mischeviousness…hoping to see them soon. wish them all the happiness in the world

God,I love this post. Its so interesting to read how everyone came into this wonderful Robsten thing. I was very similar. I remember watching Goblet of Fire and thinking: "Hey that Cedric kid is really cute! Young but cute!" Then forgot all about him.
Fastforward 4 years later, a friend said "Have you heard of the Twilight series? They are really good books & you should read them, I think you'll like it." Me: "meh… its a teen series, I'm too old for that. Maybe I'll read it maybe I won't." Friend (who is a year older than me–we're in our 30's): "Seriously, its not like a silly tween series, its really good! You should read it." Me: I wasn't really motivated to read it. Movie came out, I was living under a rock, heard of it but was again "meh… I'll eventually watch it." March 2009: Twilight comes out on DVD. Nothing to do one night so me: "Ok, I guess I'll finally watch this "Twilight" movie." I honestly had no expectations good or bad. Of course I got completely sucked in and sucked in hard. The scene where Rob really got to me was the restaurant scene, I was like "God, he's gorgeous and I love his soft voice. I kinda think I might love him." At this point I honestly had no idea he was British (Let me reiterate that I had Twilight blinders on throughout all the news that surrounded it during the movie's promotion). I'm a person who loves behind the scenes so after watching the movie (and loving it) I watched bts and was like "Holy shit! He's British!" (Major fu*ken SWOOON!! Even more in love!) So on top of that gorgeous soft voice, he has a gorgeous British accent!! As with others, I started to Youtube the shit out of Rob. The first interview I saw: Access Hollywood with Shaun Robinson. One of the best interviews. I was done for after that, saw that not only was he gorgeous and British, but funny as hell and sweet as a peach! From then on, I was completely obsessed. Got all 4 books, read them in about a week and a half. I was actually a little bereft when I finished. (Side note: After reading Twilight but before buying the rest of the series I had to ask my friend: "Ok, before I buy the series I have to know if Bella and Edward end up together. Because if they don't, I'll be so devistated and I can't handle that. I had heard that there was a love triangle and got scared. So before I get completely emotionally invested I need to know if I have to prepare myself to be broken-hearted if she doesn't end up with Edward.) Thank God she did! I'm obviously Team Edward.
I started hearing rumblings about Robsten through Ted as well and thought, God! I would love for that to be true, they have such crazy chemistry! Once again Youtubed the shit out of Rob and Kristen interviews both together and separate. They were spotted together more and more. I started to think maybe, just maybe they actually are a couple. Up until the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, I was just hopeful. I was getting more and more convinced that maybe/hopefully/please God say they are a real couple! THEN they were caught together the morning after the MTV Movie awards and I was completely convinced. YAY!!! They are a couple! I so love them together! I've had faith in them ever since despite a lot of stupid/ridiculous gossip rag crap.
I found this site through links from other Rob sites. After reading the blogs I was hooked. The writing is so awesomely funny as hell. The thoughts are very in sync to my thoughts/feelings of both Rob, Kristen, and Robsten. Thanks Robsten Love Blog! This is such a great community!

First post here… The beginning of the Robsten trail was when my teenage daughter gave me Twilght to read. She was 18 and very into the vampire genre. I read it and was hooked immediately. It wasn't until the movie that I became obsessed with Twilight generally and Rob and Kristen individually. I have to admit that my "pull" is stronger for Kristen but love Rob too.
I can't explain it. I am married (30 yrs) with two grown children and have a full professional work life but spend my free time (very little!) on searching out the least bit of information about my two favorite actors. I've watched every movie they have been in and am on pins and needles waiting for their next movies.
I can't explain it. I've had favorite actors and actresses but nothing like this. Ive let it go and now just enjoy the obsession.
L
OK I can say I seen the movie first Then had to have the books Yes I read all 4 books in 3 days NO I didnt sleep much I had to know how it ended Any one with 2 eyes can see how Rob loves kristen I mean yes they were friends first but thats the best way to start N ow you can see the LOVE that Kristen has for Rob. They let me know that there still that kind of love out there A TRUE LOVE one that comes from the souls of your hart I believe that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are going to last for a long time and I believe its blogs like this that helps it going strong SO I thank you for your post and to ALL who BELIEVE
I read New Moon and then I saw it and then I read Twilight,Eclipse and Breaking Dawn and then I was hooked.
C2R, I sooo get where you're coming from. I saw GOF when it came out and swooned over Cedric as soon as he dropped out of the tree. That was back in 2005. Then in June 2008, I saw the teaser trailer for Twilight, and I'm like "Hey, it's the Cedric guy. And he's HOTTER! And he plays a vampire." Then I ordered the books. Then after Twilight came out, my love for Rob eventually exploded like fireworks on the 4th of July.
Btw, "loin burner" is sooo appropriate to describe Rob!
'Twilight' had already come out. I was switching channels and 'Access Hollywood' was on and a deliciously handsome young man named Robert Pattinson was being interviewed. The lady asked him "how he felt about Kristen" He was tongue tied, he was stuttering, he was caught off guard and said "he didn't know, he had been for months saying to himself (this girl,this girl is everything to me, and he was starting to believe it') and he said it took him two months to quit introducing her as his finance'. That was it…I rented 'twilight' and watched it three times, went and bought the dvd. I've watched it 25 times. I bought the book. I read it twice in three days. Goggled everything I could about Rob and been obsessed with him ever since. I can't get enough pictures or information. I also was obsessed with his relationship with Kristen after watching every video I could find on You Tube. I felt since the filming of 'twilight' that he was in love with her, but as you know she was with Michael. But you could see (THE ATTRACTION) and I think they have been TOGETHER since the filming of 'New Moon' you didn't see Michael around after the first of April. I love them being together. She seems to make him happy. All I care about is him being happy. I have bought every movie he has made and I'm his biggest fan. I love Robert Pattinson. I saw 'New Moon' 12 times and 'Eclipse' 5 times, read each book 5 times and follow everything I can about him. I'm a grandmother and can't believe how taken I am with this Deliciously handsome young man.
I came to Twilight b/c of my love of Kristen. At first I wasn't impressed with Rob at all. I thought his acting was average. But he won me over with interviews and the fact that Kristen thought so highly of him.
