My mother has gone out of town (again) so I'm alone for the weekend.

I wont be going anything because my car stopped working last weekend and with my luck I'll try to sneak my moms car and someone will see me in it and tell on me.

I'm bored so I wanna live Vicariously through you all.

What I've done:

I tried to apply these fake eyelashes I got for free and totally screwed that up. I got glue every where and every time I blink my eyelashes stick to my bottom lashes. NOT FUN.

Also this is My CPR dummy. I have named him Jimmy, I will be doing him today also. HA! I will be attempting to save his life. He's kind of creepy but he'll do the job. I bought this babysitting app for my IPod today and now I want to babysit just to try it out. So I figured learning CPR wont hurt my image either.

Tell me people what your plans are for the weekend. Make it sound good because as you read I am super bored.

So, I just got back from my Christian summer camp where, as you all know, I turned 18. I was sung Happy Birthday three times. It was memorable. I had SO much fun and some stuff moved in AMAZING ways. The games were great. The food was excellent. And I had an awesome time. More info inside.

So, I had a really long week and I am letting my hair down and opening myself up to you all. (Boy, does that sound naughty? I am not sure) If you have a question to ask me, go for it. I will answer it. It can be advice, a burning question, just anything silly, I don't care. I'll answer them all...or I will try at least!

JSYK, I fear that this campfire will get approximately ONE reply (if I am lucky) so I am slightly ANXIOUS about doing this.

If you don't know who I am, well, just ask me that I guess!

For your time, I googled my user name and these are the top ten images that came up. Think of them what you will.....

Ever since I read the last chapter in 'Last Love Found" by the ever lovely Oracal Vas I have wondered.... are there any other Homeschoolers? Since it's still Friday I thought I'd start a little campfire and see if there are any others here! Come on in if you are/were homeschooled too :D

Now, if it's not your cup of tea, that's fine - to each their own :D

I may be smart enough to educate my child, but I can't put up this fine image of Jackson - http://www.fanpop.com/spots/jackson-rathbone/links/14168531

It's alleged to be a deadly sin - they say it comes before a fall, but what has made you proud lately?

Today Wonks jr. sat down with the Scrabble. I'm a proud mummy.

Since it's FFAF, I wanted to have a little rant.

Why, oh why do people have to hog the fast lane on the highway?  WTH?  There's even a nifty gov't sign that says:

And they post it every so often so people will get a clue.  Which they never do because they're too thick!

So, why do stupid people have to sit their rear ends in the "fast" lane and bimble along w/out a care in the world, like they own the darn thing?  They sometimes see drivers riding their arse in their rear view mirror and have the nerve to get upset about it, without getting a clue that they're supposed to put their slow selves in the RIGHT LANE!  Idiot driver continues to plod along in the so-called passing lane while the rest of us are having to pass him on the right...  Which is technically ILLEGAL!  

I want to know, who is teaching them this idiotic behavior?  Where did they get the idea to get on the highway and go immediately into the #1 lane and stay there till they want to exit?  Are they teaching this in traffic school?  Are they making this part of the behind the wheel test?  When did they change the law in the highway code and not let me know?

</rant>

btw, this is my first campfire, plz don't hit me w/an extinguisher!  :-)  Happy Friday!

Ladies and Gentleman,

I want to know your go-to bow chicka wow wow smexy tiemz tunes. Give me your fave sexy songs. Let's make the ultimate "getting it on" playlist.

Sure, sure...sexy is subjective and your sexy and my sexy may be mortal enemies and want to go all stabby on each but come on leave your song suggestions anyway.

I may have ulterior motives.

I may need some sin'spiration for a super hot fingerlicious fella this weekend.

Play my reindeer games.

It's a longggggg weekend in Saskatchewan (Maybe in all of Canada? IDK.)! It's Saskatchewan Day on Monday!

So, as I'm a Saskatchewanian, this is one of those epic weekends that I always look forward to. My town puts on a slow pitch tournament with a cabaret on Saturday night that always leaves me with enough memories (Well, sometimes people have to remind me of the memories ;) Heh.) to last for the year.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING THIS WEEKEND? Anyone drinking their faces off like I am?

Because my memory is bloody WRETCHED!

Anyway, I feel the need to walk down FF memory lane and revisit a story where Bella falls down a rabbit hole and then it's a crazy, acid trip of sexy (just like Alice in Wonderland minus the sexy.) I'm feeling kinda lame because I feel like the name of this particular fic is right on the tip of my tongue, but IT JUST WON'T COME OUT! So if you could all be so kind and help this young lass with the memory of a goldfish, I would truly appreciate.

Anyway, I remember Edward keep Bella in his Mad Hatter house were they partake in some sexy time and I think the whole gang is in Wonderland too. It was multi-chap and I'm pretty sure it is complete.

P.S. I also feel like the name of this fic is ridiculously simple, but my brain is dead. Sue me, I still have one more month of summer until I have to hit the books. So, poking fun is completely okay. I'm laughing at myself as we speak...or as I type...or as you read. Or whatever.

UPDATE: Does anyone know the author of a fic called "Down the Rabbit Hole." It's complete, I know that for sure, but it seems to have gone missing.

Welcome to the WEEKLY karaoke campfire!

Hosted by IChimpz&bloodlust

How are you guys this week? Ready to sing? Ready to streak sing your throat out? Without being boo'd off the stage? Well, tonight is the night to do it!

I'm here this week and bloodlust is as well, or at least she should be. ;)

We have no themes this week, just trying to get used to it and for the lurkers to hop out of the bushes. ;) If you want to see some themes though, tell me and I'll put them in the themes box. ;) (oh yes- I totally have a theme box. but not really.) 

And remember, if you have a request, put it in BIG COLORFUL LETTERS. If you're singing your own song, put the vocaroo and the LINK. Some people have said the players don't work on here, but the links do. SO ADD THE LINKS.

The site: http://vocaroo.com/  

Now. SING AND HAVE FUN. Also: My mission tonight is to get a ranger singing. Who's going to help me? ;)

SING!!

Robert Pattinson's latest film, Water for Elephants, is filming just one state over from mine!

Shameless self-promotion but I promise to make it interactive.

A couple of weeks ago I made a post about my new book coming out.

Well starting this coming Sunday August 1st and going through Saturday the 7th the Circlet Press Livejournal community will be holding what we can an author chat for that week.  Chat is a bit misleading because it's actually just journal posts that you can interact with the authors (and me the editor).  We'll be giving away copies of the book and answering questions and generally dishing on writing and erotica and whatever else tickles our fancy.

Why should you care?  One of the authors, Jana Denardo, started out as a fanfic author and is now a professional author so I thought some of you might like to pick her brain about that. :)  You can find the Circlet Livejournal community here:

http://community.livejournal.com/circletpress/

To make this post more interactive what author, living or dead, would you love to sit down and chat with?  

I think I've met all the living ones I want to but I'd love to sit down with either Nathaniel Hawthorne or God.  Yes, God.  He counts as an author too doesn't he?

I don't want to talk too much about the network itself but its shows, especially these three.

Psych- one of the funniest shows I've ever seen by far, Shawn and Gus are hilarious.

Burn Notice- Sometimes I wonder if the people of Miami notice all the explosions.

Royal Pains- Amazing the way people can be save with duct tape.

To make this interactive tell me your favorite shows in the USA network (white collar, the dead zone, Monk) or if you watch the shows mention above tell me why you like them or give me gifs and videos and what not, or just tell me your favorite shows in general.

Enjoy your Friday everyone!

I was curious to find out what movies were in theaters 10 years ago. Here are the top ten movies for this weekend in 2000:

I was pretty much amazed, because to me it really doesn't feel like some of these have been out for 10 years already. What's more crazy is the list from 20 years ago.

And I would just like to add: WAY TO GO, BRUCE WILLIS and HARRISON FORD! They're both on posters from ten years ago, AND from twenty years ago, AND they were at Comic-Con because they are going to be in movies coming out this year!

I am thinking about going to see a movie this weekend. Any suggestions as to what I should see? Happy FFAF!

And FYT:

 

Too funny not to share.

So Fresh. So Dry.

Oh my gawd, they have shirts!

 

My first campfire.. yay!

Right, so I'm watching Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, yum) and Taylor Kitsch pops up (double yum) so I'm searching his ass on IMDb, and he was/is (I'm not too sure) in Friday Night Lights. See, we don't get this in England, and it doesnt look like its coming down anytime soon but I'm considering watching it online and was wondering if any of you would recommend it?

I mean, is it actually worth watching?

and if you want, recommend your favourite tv programmes, or anything you definitely would recommend :)

and I'm not clever enough to put in pretty pictures... I wouldn't mind some help with that either.... ;)

anyone have any clue how someone does do that?!

thanks!

So...I'm hungry.

This ailment has been plaguing me for quite sometime, now.

Always the same feeling of loneliness in my stomach.

What to do?  COOK OV CHOOORRUS.

I haven't really stocked up on a lot of things in the pantry, yet.

So, that means I'm looking for recipes that are QUICK and EASY just like me.

Also, that may not require so much ingredients. (e.g. What did you cook for yourself in college?)

SHARE PRETTY PICTURES THAT WILL HAVE MY STO-MACK GRUMBLY.

I had this yesterday, & I am dying to make it:

At least I would like to think so. I was told by a very amazing ranger who shall remain nameless (thanks) that I should do this as a way to get my story out there for you all to read. I would like the think that the idea is very different and yet I'm not sure so I'm bringing to the best of the best ;-) and hoping that you all will take a moment and check it out. This is my first fanfic (which is not an excuse) and I would love opinions. It is not complete however I'm updating regularly. so let me know if it strikes your interest or if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

Beautiful Destruction :
Edward left when Bella needed him the most. When suddenly she becomes a part of the world of fairy tales and monsters in a way that no one could have predicted. The pain and loneliness and destruction. Can he help her find a way back? (This story takes place during what would have been new moon after Edward left her and continues from there. First chapters are a bit short but I have been working to remedy that. :-))

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5554429/1/Beautiful_Destruction

Yes, I am suitably ashamed of that title but it's the end of a long week, okay?

Yesterday I found this article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10786279

Extract to wet your appetite: More women in the developed world are choosing not to have children. So why do friends, family, colleagues and even strangers think it's OK to question their decision?

It struck a chord, but what interested me was not just the article itself but the comments people left.  It seems that people have an opinion whatever you decide with regards to children.

For instance:

One of my friends just had her first baby at 24.  She looks younger than that and she got quite a lot of dirty looks and comments about 'young mums'.

Another friend, also 24, just got married.  She said that everybody at the wedding kept asking when they were going to start having babies.

I think this seems to be a pretty common experience - for some reason, every woman gets asked at some point in their lives (often repeatedly) what their plans are regarding children.  Whatever response they give is followed by some kind of judgement.

Why?  

Discuss.  (The article, your opinion, your own experiences, whatever you want to contribute).

I'm not asking for your own stance on having children/not having children (unless you want to share it) because for some people this might be a sensitive subject.  Mine will be in the comments.

I think we can all discuss this rationally without getting into the realms of parents-are-selfish, no-people-who-don't-have-kids-are-selfish arguments I've seen elsewhere.  This is not an opportunity to sling mud :).
