Hi Campers! It’s Friday AND I’m off work today, so I want to play a game! If you want to play along with me, here’s what you do:

1. Set your iPod, iTunes, or whatever music player you use on shuffle.
2. Write the first one or two lines of the first 10 songs you that come up. You are NOT allowed to skip a track unless it:
A. Gives away the title of the song
B. Is an instrumental piece or an audiobook
3. Edit your post to strike out the lyrics when someone guesses the correct title and artist.
4. Look through the other posts and see if you can make any guesses! If you’re making a guess, reply to that post and put the number you are guessing for and the song title and artist.

Some rules….
1. Using Google or other search engines is cheating!
2. While the game is being played, please try to keep the extra chatter/comments to a minimum.

This game will last until the end off FFAF (5pm EST on Saturday). At that time, if you would like to go back and edit your post to show the correct titles and artists, feel free!

My 10 will be the first post inside!
 

I'm so behind in FF lately so you're all prob reading this already, but if you're not check out 'Green' by bratty vamp. It's really really good (everything she writes is really really good).

 Green » What happens when lawn-boy, geek, and self-proclaimed social leper finds himself in a situation that shakes his comfortable invisibility? Will he stay green? AU- All human.

It's also here in the forest.

So what's everybody reading at the moment? Anything to rec? Re-reading an old classic? Found something new?

Dead On My Feet updated

Thoughts?

I leave mine here:

Warning: spoilers, probably.

I live about 2 miles away from where this explosion took place. 

A 24 inch gas line exploded in a residential neighborhood in San Bruno, CA last night at 6:15 p.m.  People were home from work, quite possibly sitting down for dinner when it happened (I know we were).

Six fatalities have been reported, and 50 homes have been completely burned to the ground.  My heart goes out to the families who have been affected.

(view from our backyard balcony)

Sorry to be all emo this morning, but this is just so friggin crazy.  You see stuff like this happening in the news all of the time, but you never think it will happen anywhere near you.  We are so close to this explosion that it's crazy.  A friend of ours even needed to be evacuated.

Some more photos....

Tell me about your week !

Good?

Not so good?

On the fringes of the universe?

Is anybody watching the Buffy stuff with wtvoc?

Should I watch it?

And...

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Started Season 2 last night.

Did you watch it?

(I have to wait for streaming online)

(My week's laments are inside)

(I couldn't think of a name)

Now then! How are you all today?

This is an older-man appreciation campfire.

Now, come on - we all have that person (celebrity or otherwise) which we fancy even though we know we shouldn't.

My main one is Mr Colin Firth even though he's older than my Dad. I wouldn't say no...

And then Richard Gere:

Justin Hawkins (DON'T ASK)

Hugh Grant

*Sigh* I could go on for days. I like me an older man ;)

So how about you? Who is that celebrity you know you shouldn't fancy - but you just can't help yourself. Young or old.

I always love looking through the makeup campfires!  Without fail, I will find something new and exciting that I want to try.  But more often than not, I get excited about something that is name brand and therefore expensive.  Now I don't mind forking over money for a good product (especially if it's a skin product, like moisturizer), but I also have several over-the-counter products that I couldn't live without. 

Brattyvamp turned me on to this mascara and I honestly don't know how I got along without it for so long!

My other OMG-I-can't-live-without-this product is this lipgloss.  It stays on alllllll day and doesn't dry my lips out (and I am a confessed Chapstick addict!).  I probably have most of the colors in this picture because I don't wear regular lipstick anymore and my favorite color is Royal Raisin.  I put it on in the morning and I'm set for the day!

Speaking of Chapstick, if you are addicted to it like I used to be this nighttime stuff is ah-maze-ing!

Now I know we have some OPI polish addicts in here *cough*wtvoc*cough but I like Sally Hansen's Qwik Dry better than it's OPI equivalent.

Come in here and share with me campers!  What are your favorite over-the-counter makeup products?  Where is your favorite place to buy them?  (I like Walgreen's because they have good sales!) No department store, name brands allowed--I want to know what your favorite makeup is that can be bought at Wal-Mart or Target!  =)

It's been a long time since I've read an AH fic. I've become so disenchanted with the genre that I mentally breeze right over the stories when I see them recc'd here in the forest. But I'm wondering if I'm throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so...

Could you rec me an AH fic that is an actual piece of Twilight fanfiction and not some original fic where the two main characters are cleverly named Bella and Edward? I would like an Edward who's "Edward" and not "Assward," "Slutward," or "Thugward." And I would like for the female protagonist to be Bella and not a pale brunette who's a sassy cheerleader or a depressed drug addict.

Thank you!

Ok so I am following a couple of wards and have a really nice friendship with one in particular (yes you smugs!) and I would like to know which "Ward" you follow and follows you back and what sort of tweets do you have with them?

I follow and love @smugward he is gorgeous and is very good to me, I also follow @QBWard and @cuddleward but don't talk much to them.

So... its Friday Night... Im at home COMPLETELY ALONE

and drinking myself into a stupour!!

And... Im in the mood for a fight. But since im chronically lazy right now... that fight will have to be in the spirit of a GIF WAR!!!

Please... Partake... No Holds Bar'd! 

Ready

Set

GO!!!

Hey Campers.  I just found out my ex-boyfriend, the only man I've ever been in love with, is marrying my ex-best friend.  They're both my exes because they had a relationship going on behind my back for months before someone else inadvertantly spilled the beans to me.  While I was at work.  That sucked.

It's been a few years, so I thought I was over this, but when I found out via Facebook that they were marrying, it was like a punch in the gut.  I'm not in love with him anymore, and I don't need a friend like her whom would do such a thing....so why the pain? 

Anyway, I was hoping we could share tales of love found, love lost, love not wanted, betrayal, or happy endings?  Any relationship, with a partner or friend, that challenged you and caused you to grow or made you happy and renewed your faith in love.  Because I could use a little solidarity.  And tales of strong Campers lives are the most inspiring tales I know.

Although pics of wet hotties are pretty inspring too.

It's the end of the Muslim month of Ramadaan [when Muslims fast from Dawn till Dusk] and it's time to celebrate!

Happy Eid to all the Muslims and everyone!! Hope this month was prosperous for you.

Have a wonderful day and Chow down, like my friend [tee hee] here...

Until...you can eat no more!

 

And when you've run out of things to munch on, you can go for something real delish...


 

And BECAUSE...Life is beautiful....[And so is Rob!]

Hi everyone.  As I think most of you know I'm currently working on my second anthology for Circlet Press.  I am in desperate need of cover art for it so I am turning to you.  It is my hope that maybe one of you talented people might be interested in helping me out.  Or if you know of places I can look for artwork besides Deviantart (I already looked there) that would be great.

My anthology is called Like Myth Made Flesh and it's an erotic collection centered around mythical beings.  There's an Aztec god, a male angel, an Egyptian god, a male nymph, and a snake goddess.  Here's my last book cover so you can get an idea of the style that I like:

Here's a little bit of info from our art guidelines:

Our covers always show a human figure in some representation, whether just their eyes, a limb, or the entire body. No frontal nudity is allowed at all for obvious reasons. What we are looking for is art that conveys sensual emotion and which fits the theme of whatever book we are looking to match it with.

Art needs to look good when small (100×150 pixels, 72 dpi) and also large (510 x 760 pixels, 72 dpi). For this reason, bold simple images tend to work better than scenes with a lot of detail in them.

Surrealistic, collage-style, Dave McKean-esque, a lot of our covers have been described that way–we have a tendency to like that kind of art. Sandy Viktor Nys is one of our top cover artists for that reason.

While I'm at it I might as well hit you up for stories too.  I'd love to have two more stories for my collection.  They must be erotic and contain a mythical being of some sort.  Please NO reworked fanfictions.  I want original material and this is a paying gig.  If interested let me know.

To make this even more interactive who are some of your favorite artists?  Favorite pieces?  I just wrote a story where I referenced this piece which is one of my faves:

*This post has been Ranger approved

So I want another tattoo but I don't know what I want it to look like. I know I want the Japanese kanji symbols for Hope, Joy, Love and Peace but I don't know how to incorporate the symbols. If any of the fabulously wonderful campers have any ideas I would love to see them.

It's officially FRIDAY in the Eastern Time zone so you know what means...

THIS IS A BIG GIRL'S CAMPFIRE

(and big boys too)

This conversation began in a different Campfire and now I'm super curious, so I'm going to conduct a brief survey.

This is for Hunger Game and Twilight fans. I want to know if there's any sort of trend among people that are either Team Edward or Jake and people that are Team Gale or Peeta.

So here is the 2 question survey:

1. Team Edward or Team Jacob?

2. Team Gale or Team Peeta?

My answers will be within. Thank you for your time.

L'Shana Tova to all the Jewish campers celebrating Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year (ringing in 5771).

Kosherward wishes you a sweet new year! Don't fill up on too much brisket and challah!

eta this classic:

no buffy

wtvoc exhaust

too many things to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(sorry, buffy will brb tomorrow)

I perosnally do read Real Person Fic, and was wondering if any of ya'll do. I mostly read Rob or Jackson Rathbone RP fic on Twilighted. Outside of Twilighted threads for specific fics, I never see it discussed or metioned really. Which is sad, since some of the best fics I've read are RP fics. I know there are some fans who refuse to read it because they say it's disrespectful or wrong to write about a real person. I just see it as all of our fantasies put into words on a screen, but hey! Just curious as to how everyone else feels :0) And I'm hoping this isn't off topic, right, assuming it's about fic and Rob? Just making sure I have the rules straight !!
