Do you ever wonder if you've come across another camper in life without knowing it? If you've spoken to a stranger and wondered if it's one of the authors who wrote a story you love or someone you follow on twitter and chat with everyday? Have you ever just met someone that was just suspiciously familiar and you can't place it?

Do you think you'd recognize them without really having a face or a real name to identify this person with?

Maybe I'm the only one. Idk.

Maybe I've met one of you in line at Starbucks. Or you were one of the guest who checked out in my line at work. I'm totally that bitchy cashier who rings your stuff out really fast and then gives you an impatient glare when you take too long to swipe your card.

Do you think you've met without knowing?

Who was it? When?

I SLOWED MY AVI DOWN JUST FOR YOU. AND EVEN ADDED A FEW MORE PRETTIES.

ALSO. HERE IS THE PRETTY YOU WERE INTERESTED IN....

Oh, and since it's free for all and whatnot, here's my porn folder.... ;)

TO MAKE THIS INTERACTIVE, SHOW ME YOUR PORN FOLDER

(MEANING ROB/DB/TOMMETT/HENRY/WTFEVER)

(i may be tipsy)

Last week we played (Link) a game, this game follows the same guidelines but instead of using fics, we'll use movies. A refresher on the game, the basic game is that you use a word and let campers write down what movie they are reminder of because of that word, simple right? (I suck at explaining thing, that's what the link is for) The first word will be in the comments.

Some things you just want to show off. But normally it can be considered mean to make everyone else jealous.

But here's your opportunity. What's something awesome you're doing this weekend? Any time in the future? Something you've done in the past?

Share it! I'm sure us campers have done some pretty awesome things!

Or if you wanna get silly, we're a creative bunch! Make something up.

For example, I know that on June 10, 2037, I will have created a real, live flying spaghetti monster, which I shall allow to feed on nasty people to teach them a lesson.

In reality, I'M GOING TO THE SAINTS GAME TONIGHT! WHO DAT?!

SO....MAKE US JEALOUS! WHATCHA GOT???

OK. So I've just been forced out of living room by the biggest spider. Ever. And by giant, I mean it was about this big:

Haha.

I live in England. There are no poisonous spiders to be scared of. I am well aware that they are more frightened of me. But as soon as I saw the damn thing -  I grabbed my laptop and ran upstairs. I am also well aware that there are probably 100's lurking in my bedroom - but I can't see them. Out of sight/out of mind and all that jazz.

I'm home alone. My list of fears grows substantially when I'm home alone.

Spiders.

Moths.

Beetles.

Bats.

THE MAN IN THE GARDEN.

(it goes on... and on...)

Okay. So to make this little rant of mine interactive. What are your fears?

WhereTF did that come from?

Okay, so it has been quite some time since I read the original Twi Saga books, and even when I did read them initially, I may have cursorily skimmed over certain parts.  As such, I am probably not the best resource for Twi-facts.  However, I have noticed several odd (at least to me) character traits or background info in several fics, and I wonder where they originated from because I don't remember them from the original fics. 

I am going to list my weird facts below -- if you have any weird questions, post them here. . . hopefully, we will get some answers!

Calling all Twi-experts and afFICianados - can you help us out please? 

1. Jasper smoking cloves (clove cigarettes) -- I have noticed Jasper smokes these in A LOT of fics.  Did he (as a human) smoke these in the original Twi-saga books?  WhereTF did this come from?

2. Edward and Alice are twins -- Edward and Alice are twins in so many fics.  Where did this start?  I don't think Alice's true age is ever revealed in the original Tw-saga books, and she and Edward were not twins (that much I know).  WhereTF did this come from?

3.  Jasper and Rosalie are blood brother and sister -- this is in several fics.  WhereTF did this come from?

4.  Bella Barbie -- I know Alice and Rosalie help Bella get decked out in the Twi-saga, and Alice shops for her, etc.  Did S.Meyer actually use the term "Bella Barbie" or is that something from fanfic?  WhereTF did that come from?

I know I have other questions like this.  Damn - I should have written them down.  Does anyone else have any questions like this?  Post them here . . .hopefully, the Twi-experts and fact checkers can help us!

So far...this is just RUMOR.

From Lainey-

Yesterday Deadline Hollywood came out with a report that GK Films is developing a project for Angelina Jolie, based on a 2009 BBC miniseries called Unforgiven. It’s about a woman who, after fifteen years in prison for murdering two police officers, attempts to reconnect with her sister only to find herself the target of a revenge plot hatched by the sons of one of the men she killed. GK is already partnered with Angelina to produce her Bosnian War love story, and Unforgiven is being adapted for features by Christopher McQuarrie, one of the writers on Angelina’s upcoming The Tourist. This crowd must really get along.

As Deadline points out, Angelina doesn’t commit until she has a script in hand, but this project is supposedly fast-tracked, so it’s feasible it could be all systems go next spring or so. You don’t fast-track stuff you’re not willing to spend money on. And yeah, sure, I’d buy it. I like Angelina, I think she’s a good actress, and it sounds more Changeling than Beyond Borders. And there’s a twist.

There’s speculation in the wind that Robert Pattinson has been tapped for this project (I would assume as one of the vengeful sons). He had a meeting late last year with Angelina’s lawyer, Robert Offer--and a “celebratory” dinner, too--so his recent trip to see Salt with his agent is suddenly rife with new possibility. You know what? I like this, too. Pattinson needs a non-romantical role. He needs something that has nothing to do with how pretty he is and would actively work against his appeal. As Fight Club turned Brad Pitt from pretty boy to man’s man, so could a violent, explosive role transform Pattinson.

if i hosted an epic buffy watchalong starting in september and provided links to watch it, would you do it?  i'm hoping to snag some people new to all things whedon as well as veteran "been there since the pilot aired in january of 1997" scoobs.

anyone?  we can discuss things, share gifs, talk about how current david boreanaz is hotter than 1997 david boreanaz.  you can find out what the fuss is about, get a new obsession, etc etc etc

Okay ladies.  Not too sure how many of you know about a 90's Cartoon called 'Hey Arnold'.  

Anywho long story short Helga had a crush on Arnold but wanted no one to know about it so she created a statue, made out of bubble gum, in the back of her closet:

EXHIBIT A - 

So tell me ADF, who is your bubble gum shine in the shape of?

Wonderwall (who is undoubtedly not a fan of Twitter) has finally broke me down and I now have a Facebook page. So, are there other people out there that don't like Twitter? Wanna be my Facebook friend?

I have a total of 2 friends at the moment. I am that cool.

Hello, Mr. JKras

I'm still on Twitter: @ssarrahh1

INTERACTIVE: Tell us either your Twitter or Facebook. If you don't have either, then just come in and introduce yourself. Talk about anything and everything! Discuss and interact :)

I love this story. 

Linkety Link:  HERE.

I think the author's profile has offended some campers here, but I decided to overlook that for a great story.

Has anyone gone off an author because of their profile or their twitter posts?  Enough to flounce a story?

Um, don't say who.  Just IF and why.

I need some advice...I think or something.

In 5 days I have to do a resit exam so I can continue to my second year of university studying pharmacy, this is fine it'll go good hopefully.

However on the same day I move in with my boyfriend of 3 years Mr Robert Paylor.

I love him with everything I am, don't get me wrong, we're complete 'highschool sweethearts'  and two halves of the same person, it's crazy. But I'm so scared we're going to end up fighting over ridiculous things, or he'll get annoyed because of my closeness with my family, and the fact that I'm scared to move out.

So I wanna know if any of you have felt this way, what was it like moving in with your first boyfriend? Were you as scared as I am? What would be your advice to me? I don't really wanna talk to him about this (which is crazy 'cause we talk about EVERYTHING together - seriously) but yeah...halp?

Me and my husband might have gotten ourselves knocked up.  This was not planned, although now that it's a possibility we're like, hell yes : ) and if we're not....I'm pretty sure we're going to try and remedy that real quick.  I've got babies on the brain.  Suddenly, Breaking Dawn is not the strangest book ever written....

Tell me your baby story, forest mothers, mothers-to-be, and wannabe mothers:  did you plan it out, was it a surprise, did your desire for children just turn on like someone flicked a switch, do you have any regrets about your timing, what is the thing about having children you love the most, what is it that you're hoping for?  

We want it, real bad.  But at the same time it's freaking my twinkies.  Is there ever a time when you really feel "ready"?  Or is parenthood pretty much scary and scarier?  

Also, was your decision to have or start trying to have kids something you talked about with your friends and family?  We're not feeling like it's a topic we want to share.....maybe because we hang out with a bunch of other DINC couples (dual income no children) who aren't quite ready to settle down.  I'm almost afraid of the day when we announce it. lol.

I just wanna chat, and hear what you ladies (and gents if you're out there) have to say.  

This is what my baby with Robert Pattinson would look like, lol:

ETA:  literally, all you mommy's are fantastic.  I can't reply to everybody fast enough, but I can tell each of you just loves your little ones so very much and it really is making my day.  THANK YOU!

Hello ADF - HAPPY FRIDAY

I want to make a post for things that make you go:

WUT?!

Mine will be in comments.

And from what I see it's a free for all, I thought I'd post this to introduce myself and say howdy since I'm brand new here. I kept seeing ADF talked about on twitter so I came for a look see. Pretty cool set up you've got going :)

So hi, I'm Birdie. Nice to meet y'all. <waves emphatically>

What are your weekend plans? Doing anything fun?
