I'm bored tonight and decided to have a Buffy marathon :)

I realized how much I miss the Scooby gang. Anyone else miss this show? 

So...Chaske Spencer on Twitter just said...First five questions get answered.  So I asked a question. And he responded.

https://www.oxfam.org.uk/donate/pakistan-floods/index.php

Hey guys! Since it's FFAF, I just wanted to raise awareness about the terrible flood that's affected nearly 20 million in Pakistan.

Hopefully, we can all dig deep into our hearts [and pockets] to donate something. I've posted the link from oxfam but you can use unicef/other charities.

Cheers!

The beautiful Jazzy-Cullen has graciously agreed to be my ficwife.

She is funny and adorable, and will make a wonderful trophy ficwife, which will make all the rest of you jealous, which is clearly priority number one in any marriage.

Oh, and we are also totally just MTB, kwim??? ;)

There's only one problem, neither of us actually knows what a ficwife IS exactly. I just see people talking about theirs all of the time, and it makes me want one. It isn't listed on the Wiki page for FF terms... any help???

Yay. It's Friday.

Go see the Happy Post above!

Well.. To be honest I'm DRUNK!!!

Isnt it fantastic, you can connect with other people who are drunk, people who you would have never talked to before!!..

Or text a few guys that.. well to be honest.. shouldn't be texted.. :D..

Has anyone made some drunken mistakes that were down right embarresing, or that actually worked out for the better??

My story-- Last week there was a big weekend in my town, where it involves a lot of sailing, and even more alcohol (the regatta weekend should be named after me and a few lads i know!). anyway. on the first night of this mad weekend.. I ended up drinking way too much on an empty stomach and messing around with a guy I really shouldn't have.. He is my neighbour, about 7 years older than me... and is also involved in Scouts, where another leader was not pleased.. anyway.. Tonight, almost a week later.. after being completely mortified, I actually got to have a complete conversation with said guy (we were both tipsy, but it still counts).. He apologised for what happened, for being completely drunk, and also making me feel embarrased.. It was very sweet.. :)

So now.. I want to have your stories, or just drunken chats..

Before I fall asleep.. haha

xxx

And what time it wasn't last week?!

Which was absolutely my fault for the Karaoke fail. I was...my computer was fail, it was a really stressful night, and I was nowhere near a working computer. I'm sorry. And now that that's out of the way, we're going to start SINGING! :)

Obviously, I'm boring. So no themes. :D I'll leave that to bloodlust, because I like to sing whatever the eff I like to sing. Even if it's bad. You guys encourage me. (:

For the record though, someone should sing me a positive and happy song to cheer me up. :) I've had another stressful day, and my life is stressful, but this isn't the time and place to talk about it. Or is it? ;) Think about that.

As for the rules, put your request for songs in BIG COLORFUL LETTERS. Use vocaroo to record your lovely singing. (: And when you're posting, you click the "Embed Media" button. It's right by the spell check. Which you should always use. And also, include the link when posting. Not all media vocaroo things work for everyone.

And I think that's it. Have FUN and SING your heart out! :D

I have noticed a trend in a lot of campfires that campers stick with the people they know. And love and appreciation posts are the same why. The friends you have made in the forest know how you feel about them, I sure hope my friends do <3!!!!!! But is there someone here at ADF that you appreciate from a far because you don’t know them. Is there someone you would like to know better? Come out of the shadows and let them know. Say hi to someone you’ve never spoken to around here. Let campers know that though they feel like no one notices them; you notice them.

Mine will be in the comments.
 

Pretty for your time:
 

Ok, here's the deal. 

I absolute LOVE the "HAPPY POST" we do each Friday. 

I do not, so much, love the "crappy week" post each Friday.  

I tend to avoid all that negative energy unless I see that someone is truly hurting.

However, I totally get to start this week's SH*TWEEK post. 

Why, you ask? 

Well let me tell you since you're so interested.

I accused someone of something that they COMPLETELY did NOT DO.  Another 30-something adult.

So.  While I am not averse to being wrong, I HATE EATING CROW. 

I know, I'm an a-hole like that.

dammit.

To make it interactive, share your "Wah-wah...MISTAKE OF THE WEEK."

I'm having a particularly fatigued and painful Friday, even though I only worked two days this week.  I'm being punished by my Fibromyalgia for going to a concert last weekend.  Oh yes, and the week before.  Before anyone thinks I'm moshing or dancing in the GA floor or crowd surfing, I'll mention these were Rob Thomas charity concerts benefiting the Sidewalk Angels Foundation that he and his wife created to help the homeless, pets in shelters, school music and others.  I sat quietly in my seat taking pictures now and again and singing along with the songs.  Both concerts required long drives and I think that's what really did me in, but who knows, really? 

I just miss being the mostly normal person I used to be, who could walk till the cows came home and spend a day at Disneyland with not much more than really sore feet.  I'm tired of hurting all over my body regardless of whether I've exerted myself.  I'm tired of being exhausted all the time.  I'm fed up with my brain being in a fog all the time till I can't put my thoughts together because I can't think of what I want to say, much less how to say it.  There are 7 tablets and 6 capsules I have to tak every morning.  Various meds I have to take just to keep me somewhat functional.  That doesn't count the two different types of pain pills I take at various times during the day, not to mention the three more tablets, and two more capsules I take every night. 

Sorry bout the rant.  I'm just feeling pretty hopeless atm.  Are there any other FMS or CFS sufferers here in the Forest?  I'd really like to hear from you on here or on my Twitter.  I'm Silvara7 on there as well.

ILY all and have a beautiful weekend!

ETA: pretty color. :-D

Has anyone seen this? What do you think? Should corporations be allowed to donate massive amounts of money to political campaigns??? Have you ever boycotted something for any reason? Did it work? Will you boycott Target??? Not really trying to start a gay rights convo, (but if you're wondering, I am 100% Pro-Human rights, and pretty sure that gay peeps fall under that category.)

If anyone from back in the day remembers the fic 'Sacrifices' by Enthralled, she has just updated!

I remember when this story first posted (December 2007). It was a really great story at the time...and has held up well, I believe. Once it completes it will definitely be worth putting on your TO READ list. And the author is a real sweetheart!

Hey chicos I need to compile a list of jokes.SO if you've got a joke bring it in here. It can be a bad joke, a long joke, a short one, knock-knock, children's joke, blonde jokes, pick-up lines (funny or not), or even dirty jokes. ANY jokes--the good, the bad, and the ugly. I need.

So let me have your jokes please!

Also if you know of any good joke list websites, that would be awesome too!

Hope you're all having a lovely Friday! I'm in a bit of a pickle, and I'd love some advice, insight or ideas from anyone!

So I live in PA and the BF lives in Chicago. We met in college and we've been dating seriously for 3.5 years. We're young (both just turned 23--only 1 year out of college!) and have no plans to get married soon. I worked in Chicago for the summer, and I loved being near him after a year of long distance. While I was there, I applied for a ton of permanent positions, but so far nothing's really come of them. At the end of the summer, I headed back to my apartment in PA. I love the city of Chicago, but he's really the only person I know there. I'd just head out, but in this economy, I find it hard to justify moving without a job. The problem: I just got a job with a wonderful charter school near my apartment. While it's a great job, I'm not even sure I want to be a teacher anymore and I'm planning on going to grad school (in Chicago!) in a year.

Should I move?

Should I stay and take the job?

Have you ever moved for love (and was it worth it)?

HELP!

I had my baby last week :)

Jackson was born at home on August 11th at 5:15 p.m.
(I swear I didn't name him after Jackson Rathbone, I didn't even put two and two together until someone pointed it out, and at that point it was too late and I refused to change his name...haha)

I now have three little boys that capture my heart :)  I'll post a couple more pics inside.

I've always had trouble naming children in my stories, even non-FF stories. It's hard- the choice of name that a parent uses for their child says so much about who they are as a mother or father. Are they young and hip, using alternative spellings and unique names, or solid and sensible with traditional baby names?

When I wrote This Mortal Life, I had no idea what sort of faux-pas I was making by renaming Renesmee! But I've always hated that name, beyond the obvious hideousness, of course. In a family where very traditional names rule, her name will always stand out. So I renamed her Grace, which is a name I've seen before in FF (not instead of Renesmee, necessarily, just in general).

So, my question is, do any other authors have the same difficulty? Do you spend hours on the Baby Name Wizard website trying to find good sibling names? (No?! Just me then!)

And, who do you think are the best named kids in Twilight FF?

Since it's free for all and I feel the need to gush over some YA books that I have recently read, mose specifacly, these books:

The talented author will be making three more books in this series as well as a three series prequel with the first book comming out soon. I am just so excited about it and I hope someone will talk with me about it.

Talk to me about these books or any YA books that you have recently blown your mind.
