Who are you?

I've received some emails wondering who I am and why I'm doing this. So I thought I'd answer some of your questions.

I'm female, I'm older than Rob, and I live somewhere on the west coast. I'm not a dancer (other than being on the dance team and a cheerleader in high school), I went to a large prestigious university in Los Angeles, and I currently work as a writer (no, I won't tell you what I've published). I don't work in the entertainment industry, although I have many friends who do (only a handful of whom have worked on one of Rob's films in one capacity or another). I'm also married and a mother of an undisclosed number of small children.

I started this blog, because there's just so much information out there, and I hate to say it, but a lot of the stuff google pulls up is crap. So I started bookmarking the sites, but then I thought it'd be better to have it more organized. And I thought other people might be interested in this stuff too. And as a writer, I'm always researching things, and I use a lot of stuff I find in my books. It might just be a line someone says, but I find it all useful, especially the dynamics of different relationships. And Rob has a lot of great and interesting things to say. Right now, I'm fascinated with the different "conversations" people have with each other on twitter, especially the one-sided ones between celebrities and their fans [the book I'm working on may or may not have something to say about this].

So, that's why I'm doing this. And believe it or not, it actually helps me when I get stuck and everything I'm writing is sounding like crap. When I find something interesting on page 23 of a google search, it's like finding that hidden door that's been concealing that perfect retort that I couldn't seem to get down on paper. That endorphin rush somehow gets rid of whatever blockage I was dealing with and it's all clear and I know what needs to be said and done and where my characters should be going. I know, it's weird. But it's true. If it gets really bad, sometimes I'll write short stories to slice my characters open to reveal their motivations and their pet peeves. But that takes longer and can get quite messy, and sometimes just a simple google search will do.

Plus, Rob reminds me of my husband. Especially his ass.
