I love my fanfiction. I love reading it. I love writing it. I profess my love for all this Twilight from the rooftops. What I don't want though, is for my Dad to know that I read and lust after 50 shades.

So, please, all you Facebook aficionados, help a girl out.

I tried to make a Facebook page so that I could add all my Twilight infatuations without my public sphere meshing with my twiporn obsession, but Facebook rejected my screen name. *gasp* What to do?? I couldn't found a way around this. If you know a way, coooooould you let me know? XD

So, can we talk about this? How do you follow all you favorite authors on Facebook without implied embarrassment? How do I make an account using my Fanfic screenname??

GET CREATIVE! 

Hi, am so flattered that somebody (thank you dear!) nominated The Parachutist for the Hidden Star Awards as Best Canon (couple). There is no AU category, which would be the best fit. I went there and I even suggested some nominations myself. Well, at least I’ll get more readers, hopefully. To be read (and possibly reviewed) is even better than winning. I poured my soul in my story.
There are some good stories in the competition and in other categories, and you can vote for your favorite author and banner too, so maybe you want to have a look. 

http://thehiddenstarawards.blogspot.com/

And, if you can retrieve that sad, sad story where Carlisle does everything wrong, defies fate, does not change the members of his canon family and eventually ends up alone, getting only the occasional unsentimental physical release from Tanya, you should nominate it for Best Tear Jerker. I can’t find it again and I am about to leave for 10 days.
 

Hi everybody! It's 1AM, I'm at work (as always) and thinking deep thoughts. Like about Bella's epic fail engagement ring.  If she has to wear that until the end of time, where will her wedding ring go?  Is there ring protocol for this cockroach shaped dilemma?  I just have a wedding ring myself, so I'm ignorant of such things.  But it's keeping me awake!  (probably a good thing, being at work & all!)  Help? TIA!

i'm bored.

take off your clothes.

no?

then let's play a game.

one of those 'when i think about ______ you i touch myself,  i  think of____.' games

so just post something in the comments

a canon character, a fic character, a story,  an actor, even yourself

and people can reply with what they associate with person/thing

gifs, videos, pictures, words whatever are all welcome

eg, someone  posts  Bella Swan. we reply with mushroom ravioli, khaki skirts and cliff-diving

but you know, hopefully more fun

After a week without The Hostage, it's back!

Come on in and share theories, favorite lines, or whatever else you'd like!

Today is my graduation! D: I officially graduated in June, like the rest of the normal population, but my school doesn't do the ceremonies until September long. Don't ask me why, it's always been like that. My parents had a fall grad, too. 

ANYWAY, I've been listening to sentimental music all damn day. I know for a *badword* fact, that I'm going to bawl my *badword* eyes out tonight, especially when I watch the slideshow that got put together for all of us 2010-er's to watch.

Here's my sentimental music:

Saturday is pretty much the bane of my existence. My kids are home (and will be out of school for three days because of Labor Day), my hubs is at work, and I don't have anything to do. All the laundry is folded, the house is picked up, the kitchen is clean since I do everything during the week.

It's going to be a loooong day.

So, I've declared it movie day at my house! I want some movie recs. I really don't have any preferences, but I really love psych-thrillers and movies that inspire hope.

I watched this yesterday:

(I had the hardest time trying to find an image that would work.)

It's probably one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. I'm not gonna lie, I cried, but it's amazing.

I had never heard of it until yesterday when I was reading up on this:

(I'll post the trailer in the comments because it's not suitable for the front page.)

I think I have a new director crush. (He directed both of these movies.)

So give 'em to me. Give me your favorites, the scariest, the most insane, messed up, or sweetest movies you have ever seen.

You will be loved for it.

♥

Am I the only one that did not know that Icy has continued this delicious fic on her own blog??

If not then here is the link

I want to get off.

This is a FANTASY campfire....please, list your ultimate fantasy...no human or otherworldly limitations withstanding

Mine is in the comments

I can certainly understand why people make the argument that Bella is the victim of domestic abuse; the best article i have found for making this case is thus:

http://pamgutz.livejournal.com/6499.html

If anyone has read this, or has taken the time to read this blog, I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you agree or disagree? After reading this blog and really thinking about the series certain aspects of domestic abuse really do pop out.

What do YOU think? Is Bella the victim? Is Edward really that bad? Did SMeyer do this on purpose?

Hello campers, its been awhile since I have been here.

I wanted to share with you what I did while I have been away.

I am involved with a charity here in Australia called "The Variety Club of Victoria" and on my holidays I volunteered to be an official for their annual "BASH".

As my hubs and I are not well off we like to be able to help out this charity as it is really well done and helps out kids in need.  On this trip $1.3 million was raised by the "bashers" and being an official meant we could do our part to help raise this money.

I will go more into detail of it in the comments as well as bore you with a link to some photos.

To make this interactive, tell us what charity work you do or which charity you support.

glad to be back again

Hey I know there are some techey (is that a word) people in the forest. And I was wondering if anyone could help me. My camera on my phone pooped out on me and Im trying to get pictures that I took from my actual camera onto my phone. I know there is a way but I dont know how. I cant send them through email because my phone is a piece of crap and I cant open attachments in it. So if anybody has any idea what im talking about and can help me out I would be mucho gracias.

Gather 'round the campfire and allow Ragg spin you a tale of mystery, suspense, and horror.

And the best part about it is... it's true.

Have you ever felt like you were being watched, as if some unseen being was standing right next to you, breathing down your neck? And every hair on your body comes to attention as chills roll down your spine?

Do you sometimes find yourself stepping faster through the darkness to your bed when you turn the lights out at night? You feel that someone, or something, is going to pull together in the shadows and grab you because your stomach turns and your nerves reach their bitter end.

Have you ever woken up in the early hours of the morning, turned on your light, and glanced around your room because you were touched by a cool hand, or someone whispered your name in your ear, only to find that you were completely alone? The only thing that remains is that feeling in your gut that tells you don't close your eyes, or don't, under any circumstance, surrender yourself to the darkness once more.

Something lies in wait for you there; waiting to place it's bony fingers on your warm skin.

And for a brief moment, you lose yourself. Maybe not all, but a vital piece of sanity that allows you to walk through your darkened house alone without a second thought. You can't do this now.

In that moment, you forget what your mother told you when you were younger about things that go bump in the night. You forget the most important words you've ever learned -- monsters don't exist.

You tend to forget about your own rationalizations telling you that there is a perfectly good explanation for everything that you've seen or heard; the creak down the hall, the footsteps on the stairs, the knock above your bed, the creeping silhouette on the wall. You forget because you know, in some deep fathom in your mind, where you tend not to venture... you know what is making those noises.

You know that there are things in this world that can't be explained.

In that moment, you believe in ghosts, monsters, and all that's in between.

•    •    •

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR RUN-IN(S) WITH THE PARANORMAL.

TELL YOUR TRUE STORY OF A MONSTROUS BEAST, GHOUL, GOBLIN, OR GHOST THAT YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED.

MINE WILL BE IN THE CAMPFIRE. (I NEED TO GET MY KIDS IN BED FIRST.)

PS - Don't forget your flashlight.

Come inside!

Disclaimer: You should know by now that thar be no negativity up in herrr. 

So I know NOTHING about wine. But I want to know!

Come in here and share your favorites. Any recommendations? What wine is good with what? What type of wine do you prefer? What's your comfort wine? What wine have you tried that you don't have a taste for? Any "insider" wine tips for newbies?

Please teach me about wine!

Rejoice Rosemett fans!

Well, I'll tell you.

Because two of the best and long awaited Rosemett fics have updated. ON THE SAME DAY! 

It's like Christmas in my inbox.

So you, right now, go and read! (Yes, you in the back. I see you, too)

The yummy and enticing "Subway Strangers" and the brilliant and sweet "Balancing the Scales" are waiting.

So, DH's daughter turned 12 this week and he, his ex wife and I spent the day talking about how we were at that age.

DH had already been getting high for 3 years by the time he was 12

DH's ex wife had been smoking cigs for 2 years by the time she was 12

I was DRUNK on my 12th bday-

We are VERY lucky that Bella (yes DH's daughter is an Annabella) is so not like any of us....

So- I take a drink of water and toast to the fact that the poor girl won't be getting away with ANYTHING...

What about you-anything you'd like to confess??
