I'm always looking at hands. I don't know why but they tell so much. People talk with their hands, veins tell age no matter what people tell you, I like looking at rings though I don't like wearing them. So I'm always looking at nails up against a hand and how the polish or lack of polish works with their hands and the rings they're wearing.

How do you keep your nails? Do you bite them? Keep them polished? Red, blue, black, whatever color - but chipped because you're biting it off? Acrylic with color? French/American manicure? Just plain no polish? Just clear? Do you polish them for holidays and go festive? What?

It's Karaoke Time :)

Here's Vocaroo (don't forget to add the link when you post) Remember those BEAUTIFUL COLOURS for any requests you may have and now because I can't be bothered doing an awesome speel for this

GET TO IT!

We LOVE fresh voices too, so if you haven't been apart of this awesomeness yet, PLEASE, COME ON IN, we don't judge or bite (hard)

Hi all.  I have been waiting for a Friday to post this.  I have a two questions. 

1. I wanted a few teens to read the first chapter of my young adult original fic and tell me if it sucks.  I need painful honesty so I know if I am wasting my time on this idea.  Please post or pm if you are a teen who is willing to be my guinea pig.   

2.  I would love to hear from people who actually submitted something to an agent and what the response was if you feel like sharing.   

Thanks for being such great campers!

Mel

This is mine

Because seriously...that's amazing.

Share? Preferably funny things involving animals but it's up to you. Fun stuff.

P.S. Can anyone make that small? That may be worth trading in Zachary for a bit as my avi...cause that's awesome.

My boyfriend (who's obviously such a lovely person *grumbles*) just sent me this and of course I opened it

PARTY

Need I say more? It's the weekend, it's FFAF and I'm going to be up in Seoul again (without the God awful hangover and memory lapse this time though)

What are you doing this weekend? What music puts you in the party mood? What's your best hangover cure? What was your fav. find of the week?

I found these exact socks last weekend in Seoul - the Wonkeygirl was happy.

Do you play Petville on Facebook?

I need some neighbors and would like you to be mine!

If you play Petville and wanna be my neighbor, be a proud pet-parent and show off your cutie here!

Meet Masen, he is my cutie! 

hello, ok so I used to watch this show called True Blood or the sookie stackhouse series turned into a show and I know they had one of those Comic Con things, I'm assuming there is one for twilight and how does one go about finding out that sort of thing. Is it a membership thing or just something anyone can attend? I  wouldn't mind oggling Peter or jackson or charlie(dimitri or demetri). It would also be nice to see robert or kellens arms. 

Different Topic, as far as fanfiction goes has anyone been fortunate enough to meet any of the cast and ask them if they've read any of the fanfiction about them and what did they think of it? I mean it would be nice to hear Robs pov on all the sexin he'd doin in these stories.

It's a quiet Friday night and I'm a bit bored so tell me your stories of the one that got away, or maybe it’s the one that you’re not sure about yet?
In short here’s a chance to talk about that person you still wonder about all these years/months/days later......

Misery loves company, mine is in the comments =)

 

I'm bored and want a desktop post.

So here's a desktop post. Mine's in the comments because I don't want to have a giant image of my desktop on the front page.

FYT

So, I was creeping on Amazon dot com last night and found this little ditty.

"Love & Distrust follows a day in the life of eight strangers as they search for happiness. A waitress - Adams - a business man - Franco - and a lusting teenager - Pattinson - from different backgrounds share similar experiences as they search for love, trust and the meaning of life. Love & Distrust is a film about how events shape our perspective and help us form connections with each other in the most unlikely of places."

Has anyone at all heard of this movie? When was it made? Has it come out anywhere? Amazon says it doesn't come out on DVD till November 2nd, but I was wondering if it was at any Film Festivals or perhaps come out outside the US and anyone saw it?

I think it sounds pretty interesting, maybe have one of those connecting plot lines like 'Love, Actually" or "Valentine's Day."

What do y'all think!?

Hi All!!

I can't believe this is my very first campfire.  I'm usually just a lurker leaving replies here and there.  

So, I'm going back to school, starting next week actually.  My school offers acclerated Fall sessions, and then in Spring, I will be continuing full time.  I will be, what you would call, an "adult student" even though I don't feel grown half the time. 

I'm a single mom, with a full time job, and what I need is some encouragement.  (Please?)  I know it's going to be difficult, but I'm at the point in my life where I need to make a change or be stuck.  So... this time, it's do or die!  (*cue Rocky Balboa theme music*) Late nights, early mornings, no sleep, writing papers until 5 in the morning.... BRING IT ON!!   I'm determined to succeed, not only for myself, but for my daughter and parents, who have encouraged and supported me through a lot. 

To make this interactive, please tell me how you keep yourself motivated (whether it be in weight loss, education, or just anything you've had to work hard for).  And/or if you're an "adult student" please tell me about your story so I feel like I'm not alone.  (I know I'm not, but I don't really know anyone personally)

Thanks!!

So, thanks to FFAF, time to air out my weird and ensure that none of you talk to me again : O

I am obsessive about things sometimes. Weird things, like; I hopped from flea market to flea market collecting mercury glass Christmas ornaments in the middle of summer last year. I have memorized the who, what and where of every Presidential assassination after reading countless books on the topic. I own no cups other than a variety of champaign glasses, because it makes me feel pretty.  I got laid off from my job months ago and (before I took up freelancing) decided I would be a graffiti stencil artist around the city. Idk, my point is, I'm weird so maybe this next admission won't sound so odd??

This last week, I've become obsessed with pornstar blogs. Ahhhhh, it feels good to put it out there. Specifically James Deen, a very young and surprisingly hot porn star, he gives me the Edwardy feel. Like maybe Dirty Eddy or Domward? Anyhow, he reviews food of all things, giving it a rating of breast size (DDs being the highest, of course) then tells you about his day and what chicks he banged. It's hysterical, and I'm obsessed.

Then I got to researching and his girlfriend, Joanna Angel (also a porn star) has a blog that is quite funny, and then her friends have some and so on.

This is by far my oddest obsession, it's not even dirty it's a damn blog! But still super weird. Tell me I've not gone crazy!

FYT, I mean....he's hot though right?

Eek! It's my first campfire -- and my first nanowrimo!

National Novel Writing Month starts on November 1st. The mission: write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days.The story about how this amazing program developed is fascinating. It started in San Francisco in 1999 with 21 participants; more than 167,000 wrote their hearts out in 2009, and more than 32,000 of those achieved the 50K goal. (Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants started as a nanowrimo manuscript!)

There was a nanowrimo campfire back in April, when I had no idea whether I'd be able to participate this year. Now I'm signed up, working on my outline, and looking for writing buddies from the Forest.

Are you climbing Mount Nanowrimo this year? Have you participated in the past? Any advice?

ETA: Edited to adhere to ADF policies, with my apologies.

If you're a movie buff like myself-and tbh, who doesn't love a good movie?- I can't go without learning about new films. If IMDB wasn't around, I have no idea what I would do. And because I study Media Studies at college, film is pretty much my life right now.

However, I want to know your favourite films that aren't in English. I am obsessed with French films atm, and they are my favourite non-english films to watch.

My favourites:

Show me your favourite(s)! Any Country, any language. I wanna watch some more.
 

Tu comprends? :)

Oh yeah, Im at it again. Its time for that weekly update of that darlin lil fella most of you know as "Jasper" but many of us know as the fuel for our(spank banks) imaginations...

Sooo....He has been up to quite a few things this week, an interview with this guy on Canadian TV.

I could see that...maybe.

But in other news, the movie "Truckstop" is rumored to be up in the air due to funding issues and word is that our favorite young man is looking into making a movie called,"The Amazing Mr. Jones". Now ya'll might want to be sitting down for the next part of this lil bit of news...

The movie is about an older woman looking to change her life by finding her first "O" via placing an ad on Craigslist for a younger man...volia! Jackson....I may or may not have spent the last few days perusing ads shopping for younger men..

Dont know about you guys, but I would damn sure have my butt in a seat to see that one. Rumors are that they are searching for the right actress...I would do that for FREE!

The Monkeys played their last concert of the season in LA at the Roxy on Sunday and word is they rocked the house hard! They are going to be doing a huge to do in Austin for New Years and if I wasnt soo broke, my butt would be there, but alas, I will be sitting in my crappy apartment, lusting from afar. But for those of you lucky enough, go to their website and buy the package, its gonna be a hell of a night!

Soo...    TWITTER

I have been trying to get the hang of this thing for forever now, but not really succeeding.

So I have questions for you twitter pros:

1) What’s with that “#” hash tag thing?

2) How often is too often to tweet? Is there even such a thing as too often?

3) What do you do when you really want to comment on someone’s tweet but feel creepy doing so?

4) What is this whole #90daycult thing?

Help!

Also, if you wanna follow me, I’ll follow you back (same name as my name here).
I am always looking for new people to follow! :) How cute is this>>>>

FYT (My recent obsession... Cedric):

All of us are here because we love fandom.  We read fanfics, we visit websites, heck, we even discuss it in chats.  So, the other night I had the itch to revive some old dvds of mine.  I sat back and re-watched a couple of episodes from season 1 of Roswell.  I had forgotten how good that show was.  It's like Twilight (the first book) but with no Mary Sues.  I loved Liz Parker and Max Evans.  They (and the show) were what led me to start reading fanfiction.

What I want to know from you is what show brought you to fandom/fanfiction?  What show did you think got the short end of the stick and was cancelled/ended prematurely?  If you were to bring back a show, how would you continue it?

p.s. For those who've seen Roswell before, don't you think there are a lot of similarities between the show and Twilight?  Who else thinks SMeyer may have seen the show before?

Max Evans and Liz Parker are too busy making out to thank you for your time.

I'm going to work in 10 minutes so I thought I'd leave you with this little nugget of information.

I'm not, y'know, actually in love with him. But... I do sit on the front row every week so I can get a good look at what he's packing in the downstairs department. *cough*

And I do hang onto every word he says.

And when he says stupid jokes I gigglesnort so loudly and people look at me so strangely.

I don't know how I'm going to cope next week, when we have a seminar together and there'll only be 10 people buffering us, instead of the usual 160. I might.. you know, spontaneously combust with lust.

There is evidence of my obsession within the campfire, because there are words on it that aren't suitable for the front page...

Please note: I feel like I should add that I... wouldn't... y'know, actually do anything with the man. I can look and not touch, right?

Now, I know this is a strange campfire. But I'm a strange person. I want to know who you stalk in the name of love? Or... you know, just someone that you really really really like... Which, y'know, is inappropriate.
