SO

Its been a while since i've seen a getting to know you post. Well when i look and it may be a man look, or even a teenage boy look, but i thought it was time for one.

I want to know about you're pets. I have two cats and a dog. Who i love even though the front door had been sprayed when i got home and the dog is now wet.

this is Bugz

this is jasper

and the love of my life/bain of my existance ROY

I have every Friday off, and it is brilliant with a capital B.  I can do the Forest, do some laundry, eat chocolate unmolested, write/read a little fanfic, go see a friend in the middle of the afternoon.  Kids are at school, hubs at work.   Okay, it's not unconventional, but it's nice.

Anyone here have a wonky work schedule?  I know there are a few night shift campers.

So by now most of us have heard the new Kings of Leon.

Its not my favourite KOL album - Aha Shake Heartbreak is still the best for me.

What are you favourite tracks on the album?

here is mine

Hi :)

Since it's FFFA... :) I wanted to ask, has any of you ever tried using one of those read-out-loud programs to read fanfiction (I mean, while cooking, or ironing)? Because, I swear, my house turns into a giant mess every time I come across some new complete story or there's an up-date's massive attack. ;)

You can use audiobooks for published stories, but what about fanfiction?

Help? Anyone? Pretty please? :)

FYT

BREAK UP WITH YER FRIENDS.

Be funny, dramatic and completely unserious. This is a joke. I love the people I'm going to insult dearly...honest.

this video is one of the cutest things I HAVE EVER SEEN, OMG

I WANT TO SNUGGLE IT

hello, the jerk ranger here

earlier, someone posted something that technically went against our campfire rules.  the campfire was deleted (not by me), and i'm afraid i scared/pissed off/intimidated/irritated/other adjectived the original poster by my large, brutish purple font.  whoopsies.

i still stand by the message, yo- forest rules are located here at the ranger station (that particular campfire violated the 8th rule, thou shalt not bear false witness against thy camper), but i suppose i could've done it in a less obnoxious way.  what can i say?  i'm obnoxious.

with all that in mind, it is now freeeeee for all.  feel free to post whatcha want, including links to your twilight-y contests and blogs, with my blessing.  

aerochick, if you don't start that gif campfire soon, i'mma do it.  you've been warnedddd

Hey, fellow campers!

It's officially Friday Free For All, and in celebration of the almost weekend (and the week from hell for me), I'd like to start another debate.

Same rules apply:

1. Feel free to express your opinion, but keep in mind that the Forest is a diverse place and we don't want any brawls to break out.

2. Be polite and aware of other campers opinions.

3. Feel free to confront people about differing opinions, but, as always, BE POLITE ABOUT IT. Don't cause $#!% just to cause it.

4. ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT AND THAT THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WOMEN/MEN IN THE FOREST THAT MAY HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS INVOLVING ABORTION. PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LIFE EXPERIENCES.

Alright, for this week's debate...

Abortion. Pro-life or pro-choice? (can you be anything other than pro-life or pro-choice? idk. if you're anything other than those two, feel free to explain your opinion, too!)

For myself personally, I'm pro-life. HOWEVER, I understand that certain circumstances deserve the option of abortion. So, in my opinion, the government should allow abortions.

The promos for the Simpsons Halloween episode are out.

You know, the one where Daniel Radcliffe plays a vamp named

Edmund.

Oh, and Hugh Laurie is in it too.

NEXT WEEK: BECOMING PARTS 1&2 ARE COMIN' UP.  DEAR GOD, STOCK UP ON KLEENEX AND BE PREPARED TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONES.  HAVE YOUR BEN & JERRY'S FLAVOR OF CHOICE ON HAND.  THE SIMULTANEOUSLY BEST AND WORST SEASON FINALE OF ALL TIME IS A-COMIN'.

FIRST OF ALL, though this post will be Twilight related, today is a very important day for me. It is the 7 year anniversary of Elliott Smith's death. This man was a brilliant musician, and seeing as he helped me through a lot of dark times in my life, I MUST post a video for you all. If you don't know of his music, it's about time you did. [I hope you will allow this, beloved rangers.]

Rest in peace, Elliott. You are missed. "I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow."

Anyone know what happened? There's no note of anything. Everything was completed except for Stealing Second, the sequel to The Fan. And she just completed Bella Swan's Dating Guide.

This week has been hell on things leaving and it's getting me disgruntled. Wait a few days!

Here I am again, looking for interaction with people whose company I enjoy immensely. Join me here with your questions.

But this time, I've got one for you: Why is Edward always such a girl?

Don't get me wrong, girls are swell. But I prefer a male character to be, well... MALE.

I've been professionally procrastinating lately by reading a bunch of fic (or bits of bunches of fic), and I swear to god, if I read one more sentence wherein Edward is extolling the life-changing qualities of Bella's soft hair, I will vomit.

Why can't we have some honest Edwards out there? I want an Edward who acknowledges, at least to his dude friends, that Bella is a good lay -- if only she'd loosen the hell up, maybe they could have some real fun, rather than going to Emmett's house to moan about how just looking at Bella's face in the morning makes him feel like his blood has turned to molten chocolate or some such garbage.

Is it just me? Be honest.

ps: if you haven't already posted in Halo's thread about Robert, go away and do that right now.

You know it's gonna happen. Robert's been too nice to the fans for the last three years. Unlike Kristen's who let off some steam here and there throwing a bird or being a cranky cooch, Rob's been all smiles and "no, the fans are great!" Which only means one thing:

One day, when we least expect it, Rob's gonna flip his wig on fans:

lol xander

spike and some other buffy cast members were posing for pics at dragon con.

Could you see Rob and the rest doing this ten years from now?

me neither.

Does any one know how many chapters left for Beyond Time by TKegl?

I am dying to start reading it, but won't unless it is nearing completion...

Among all the WIP you are following, tell me what is the ONE that makes you drop everything and read it now now now!

come on people, share with us your fav WIP at the moment

Me, I just adore Emmett as a big brother figure.  Maybe it's because I'm a "first born" and never had a big brother and when I thought about it, someone powerful, intelligent and funny would have been PERFECT.

So, to me, EMMETT is the PERFECT BIG BROTHER!  (This does not mean I don't see him as a romance hero -- I do! But he's a great brother!)

Where can we find Big Brother Emmett?  I have a couple of recs, and they'll be within.

Thanks for sharing your big brother Emmett fics around the fire!

P.S. I totally want to thank all of you who have been updating the different lists on the MASTER FIC LIST. I check them out for myself once in a while and it's good to see that some of them have been added to, over the past couple of months. Thank you so much!  

GUYS i need fic-help also.

Edward and Bella are high school geeks who hate eachother due to their competitive natures. Eventually they learn to love eachother etc and i remember one scene whereby a poker chip represents a sexual favour?

Any help muchly appreciated im going insane!

So, lately there has been some understandable frustration/sadness about authors pulling fics (don't get me started, I have enough thoughts on this to write a novel... and pull it halfway through ;)  and the fandom being kind of slow going and so, in the spirit of bringing some freaking happy back to the fandom, I want you to show me your pretty!!!

We all love at least one of the actors or actresses in this series, which means we've all probably photo stalked them on the internet.  Show me your pretty fics, and if possible, make them HAPPY pretty fics.  I mean, I know Rob can pout like a mofo... *gets distracted by avi* ... right, so we know that brooding is hot and all, but I want smiles.  So bring it on!  Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Ashley, Kellan, Nikki, Xavier, Peter... I don't care who, just share the pretty!!!

And because the Vanity Fair shoot is my absolute favorite:

This one's not necessarily happy, but I think it's so funny:

And some Robsten, to finish it out... 'cause they look pretty naturally happy here:
