Just Wait updated and this chapter left me with so many questions.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5320917/50/#

please read and let me know what you think about ...

So I just found this article (don't ask me how - I don't even know) about role models in twilight - and how there doesn't seem to be any.

This is the premise;

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is at the top of the box office, but as teenage heroine Bella Swan moves inevitably toward marriage with a vampire, some wonder if she's such an exemplary role model for the girls who follow her adventures in the hugely popular books and movies.
It's a rerun of an old debate: Can pop culture — books, movies, music — influence the behavior of impressionable teenagers, and in the case of Bella, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

(The rest is in the comments)

Just want to know what you guys think of it?

I'm guessing this should have a SPOLIER ALERT just in case.

(I didn't get approval - I'm sorry, but it's about twilight yeah?)

Yeah it's me... no surprise.

Look... there isn't much I WON'T talk about.  I have NO boundaries.

But once you add ALCOHOL to the mix... then the papery thin filter I have is non-existent.

Let's talk TMI!!!!

Anything goes people...

Periods

Sex

Body Hair

Bodily functions and fluids.

Let's Discuss.

ROB APPROVES:

And if yer shy and you can't just GO THERE...

then have a drink and just share what ever's on yer mind....

If you thought it was 'just another story'....

High Noon just updated with Chapter FIVE: Facciamo un Brindisi

and things are HEATING UP.

If you have yet to start this story, now is the time. I love this chapter. It is AMAZING to me how talented both of these writers are. Bravo ladies. BRAVO!

(and, omg, if anyone wants to talk about what happened....eep!)

YEA, I KNOW I'M LATE.

YOU ALL KNOW THE DRILL.  POST YOUR FAVE FAN VIDEOS HERE.

THIS WEEK I'M BRANCHING OUT A BIT AND POSTING A "REMEMBER ME" FAN VIDEO.  EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS!  IT'S A VERY WELL MADE VID.

"Paradise Circus - Remember Me" by KCTerra

NAO POST AWAY CAMPERS!

Anyone NOT seen Eclipse yet?  I am from the good ole' US of A and have NOT gone to see it.

Don't get me wrong, I wanna see it, but I work, yo.

What's preventing you from seeing the multi-million dollar grossing Big Screen Success?  If you are outside the US, post what country you are from!

Signed,

Out-Of-the-Loop

Look- my first official off-topic campfire that I didn't have to get approval for! I need to put this in my scrapbook.

So here in the Bluegrass we've had yet another day with temps in the 90's, heat index even higher. It is too hot to come home and sweat over the stove while making dinner.

Campers, give me some ideas for quick and easy meals. Bonus points if they only involve one or two pans. Here's my contribution:

Mexican Chicken Melt

1 lb chicken (breasts, tenderloins, whatever floats your boat)

1 jar of salsa

1 to 2 cups shredded cheese- Mexican blend

1/2 cup taco sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Slice chicken into chunks or thin strips. Sautee in oil and seasoning until brown. I prefer olive oil and minced garlic, sometimes I also add fajita seasoning or chili powder. (hint- don't use a lot of oil.)

Dump chicken into an over-safe baking dish. Pour can of salsa all over it. Sprinkle cheese over top, however much you prefer. Pour taco sauce over the cheese. Bake 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve.

Voila, you've only used two pans and weren't stuck slaving over the stove for an hour. I like to put the finished product in a tortilla and roll it up like a burrito with more taco sauce and cheese on top. It's also good with a side of mexican rice.

I'm tired of cooking the same things over and over...although these orange glazed pork chops are the bomb and I could eat them every night....so share your favorite easy-peasy recipes with me!

Due to POPULAR DEMAND, Wednesdays are now for PIMPS and Saturdays are for RECS, meaning

THIS IS THE CAMPFIRE TO PIMP YOUR STUFF, YOUR FRIENDS STUFF, STUFF YOU BETA, BANNER STUFF....pretty much anything you'd like!

*****

Today I am pimping VIP Author and my all-time-girl-crush HMonster and her new fic A VOW OF STRONGEST STONE

There are different trains of thought: words don't lie/seeing is believing. A 289 year old prophecy & a handful of visions gives a young woman the power to change the world - that is, if she chooses to take control & guide her own destiny. Vamp/AU.

******

The banner is A LINK and I CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO NOT GET HOOKED. (oh, and please review, H is too lovely to deny) NO SERIOUSLY, READ AND REVIEW THIS. IF YOU DO, I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Now, GO FORTH AND PIMP. DO NOT BE ASHAMED. THAT IS WHAT THIS CAMPFIRE IS FOR!!!!!

So after Completeirony posted the very nice pic of Big Daddy C from Twilight I realized what was bothering me about him from Eclipse.  We've all talked about the wig fail but is it just me or does Carlisle's wig in Eclipse make him look like he cut his hair with a flowbee? 

So in your opinion who has the best or most improved hair in Eclipse (aside from Rob) and whose is the most unfortunate?

Also what was your worst haircut ever?

Hubby found this today....yes ladies and gents this is a wolfpack tattoo.

Do you think he told the tattoo artist what it was?

Germany vs. Spain!!!

A match deserving of a final.

Come in here and let's talk about it. Fernando sitting out. Müller not playing. How much Manuel looks like Hoyt. How hot Xabi or Lucas is. Your Professor love of Joachim Loew. Okay, some of those things may only apply to me---but come talk World Cup with me and the meeting of these two amazing teams. What are you thoughts or opinions?

*approved by Jennyfly*

Melissa Rosenberg shared some interesting new details at the Twilight convention in Paris this past weekend on what she'll be including in the script for 'Breaking Dawn'

Sauce

I'll post her comments in the comments.

I'm curious Campers, after watching Eclipse are you more interested in watching Breaking Dawn, less interested, or neither? Esplain, please. :)

So I am in the ER writing this campfire on my iTouch waiting to be seen and I am very very bored. Anybody got any good recs for the sickly girl? Lesser known fics are best, cause I am kinda a fic junkie. Also given my local any Carlisle heavy or Doctorward fics would be great!

Love, CompletedIrony

Edit: Can you imagine having this waiting for you on the other side of the hospital doors?

Edit 2:  Thank you everyone for the kind wishes!

So Rob & Kristen have been out and about the past few nights...

On Monday they surpised fans at a LA IMAX screening of ECLIPSE, thanking fans for the movie's opening success.  Rob said it would be embarassing of everyone didn't like it.  (hey Rob---read my review.  you better act yer ass off in this circus movie, all i'm sayin!)

Then, last night... the were spotted at a Sam Bradley concert at Hotel Cafe in LA.

See more pics HERE.

Sauce

The couple-y nature of these two is no secret, with the producer and director of Eclipse each confirming the romance on seperate occasions. 

I do think it's cool that they braved the screaming hoards of fans to stop at a screening.  Honestly, I was hoping GIL BIRMINGHAM would show up at the theater when I went to see Eclipse with CAPPIE. 

But....no such luck.

It's finally here!!!!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse: with Cats

http://www.popsuede.com/2010/07/twilight-saga-eclipse-with-cats.html

This is just a little bit of it, go laugh!

Hey i need help finding a fic, i read it long time ago but now when i tried to look for it i couldnt find it. it has bella as a college student and all the cullens and hales are agents. charlie hired them to look after bella in college. it involves bella's mysterious necklace. edward is trying to figure out what is charlie hiding while protecting bella. 

i dont remember the name or the author. if anyone can help i would really appreciate it. 

I'm really curious as to why Summit would leave the Denali clan completely out of the Eclipse movie. I may or may not have seen it for a total 10 times so far, but it dawned on me today what I felt was missing.

In Eclipse we learn:

1. Who they are and the Tanya & Edward never-happening

2. Carlisle calls upon them to help against the newborn, but they say no because the Cullens won't step aside so Irina can avenge Laurent's death

Which leads into Breaking Dawn

1. The Denali clan attenting the wedding and apologizing for not showing their allegiance

2. Irina coming to visit to apologize when she stumbles upon Nessie and this running to the Volturi

3. The Denali are the first to accept their role as witnesses

4. Elezaar exposes Bella's shield as her gift

5. Kate uses her gift of pain to force Bella to practice pushing her shield out...thus saving everyone from certain doom!

Someone mentioned that they thought it was odd that Rosalie didn't mention she was visiting her friend late who had just had a baby and how much she wanted child thus leading into why she agreed to help Bella in BD...but this seems like an even bigger ut-oh!

The Denali are too important to be glosses over IMO...

Thoughts? Opinions? I'm reading too much into this?

It's my first campfire, hope it's okay.

I heard a rumour.

I heard that Struckathesky, the most fabulous author of Bound to a Secret, came out of retirement and posted a one shot. 

The Lurker and I posted The Underbelly:  Beer, Blood, and the Ashes

We missed the boats for pimpage and sneak peeks. We will try really hard to time it better next time.
