I'm stealing this from exulans on The Gazebo.

What's inside your purse?

I think the content of your purse tells a lot about who you are. I'm a hoarder! =)

Are you the type who carries her home on her arm? Or are you the teeny tiny purse only-the-essential type?

How many purses/handbags do you own? What's your favorite? You can provide pics of said purse(s) and/or its content or just make a list.  

My pics are in the first comment.

Not Ranger approved because it's still Friday Free For All.

Almost everyone in the Twilight fandom knows of FGB. It's an awesome organization that raises amazing amounts of money for a great cause.

And, this year, I decided to get in on the fun.

Problem is, I'm mildly scared that no one will bid on me, so I'm pimping myself out now, while it's still FFFA.

I'm ladyinblue6 over there, on the forums and in the auction. I'm offering a lot of stuff. I just really would like to help out the organization as much as possible, and to do that, I need people to bid on me. :)

Hey, while we're at it, let's get all the people participating in FGB to pimp themselves out in this post!

Here's the link to my forum on FGB: http://www.thefandomgivesback.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=244&p=1167#p1167

USA - Ghana

We're already a goal down.

Can we please talk about the new chapter because this one was epic.

Hide And Drink- link to chapter one for those who haven't read it, go check it out!!!

Warning *Spoilers Up head*

I recently took the plunge and purchased a Nook.  I did research both it and Kindle before I purchased and liked what I saw with both.  This week I noticed the Kindle was priced at $189 and the Nook for $149, so the big price difference made me take a chance with the Nook.

I know I've seen several people mention they can save fanfiction into a format so it can be viewed on these devices.  

Ladies and Gentlemen... please give me links to what you use to convert your fanfictions.  What's the best format to put it in?  

So I am trying to get 100 Monkeys to tweet me at least a b-day comment..it would be awesome if you lovely ladies...and gents if we have any...could help a girl out....it would be the bestest b-day present ever!!! My twitter is @LittleLea05 if you are not already one of my twitter pals on there...

Oh and Jackson picspasm's are always nice..here is some for your time

As some of you may already be aware, there's a special auction that's been put together for Fandom Gives back in honor of LASMKE/Lisa.

In honor of LASMKE, author of Expectations of Success and Small Town Gossip, her friends have put together this special auction in her memory. The winning bidder will receive a photograph of their choice from Images Without Borders, a website that raises money for those affected by crises through the sale of photographs. The photograph that the winner selects will then serve as a prompt for a minimum 2500 word oneshot from EACH author from Lisa's list of favorites. That's seven oneshots from the following twific authors:

americnxidiot
AmeryMarie
Araeo
EchoesofTwilight
greeen goldfish
Serendipitydooda
WriteOnTime

Thanks to Lisa's family, friends, and the participating authors for making this auction possible. Special thanks to Litljazzbird for her generous donation of the photograph.

Terms: Oneshots will be delivered to winning bidder no later than August 1, 2010. Photo value not to exceed $50 and must be selected from one of the following galleries on the IWB website: 'Eclectic Visions,' 'Urban Images,' 'World Collection,' or 'Nature by Lens.' Photographs may be previewed here: http://www.imageswithoutborders.org/c/i ... llery-list. In discussing the delivery of the oneshots with the authors, it was decided that we want the bidders to have an incentive to bid, so the winning bidder will receive the oneshots exclusively initially. However, because they are written in honor of Lisa, it was felt that after a period of two months, they should be posted publicly for the rest of the community to be able to read, as well.

Feel free to post questions about the auction here. I know there is a team in the works, so that people who want to contribute can even if they can't afford to give a ton. The discussion for the auction is HERE and the actual auction (which opens at midnight tonight) is HERE.

Apparently Rob wrote this song about Kristen when they were back in the early twilight days, filming the first movie. He never recorded it, but apparently a friend of his sister Lizzy did. 

The lyrics do seem to fit perfectly for their situation back then. 

Who knows if its true, but i thought i'd share anyway. Its a lovely song... and a great fan made vid :)

Another one bites the dust....

Bad Press (another one I started, then decided to wait until it was complete to finish...)

is gone daddy gone...

I wish you well, HappyWanderer!  Your story will be greatly missed.  Please stay and play in the forest!

(and can someone PLEASE step on that darn cricket already!!!!!!!)

or is the Twilighted site down?

I've been trying to click on there many a time but it takes ages to load and then it says the link doesn't work.

Is there something I don't know, or is my computer just playing up again?

I know that ads are good for the site blah blah and whatever, but seriously, the Burger King ad of DEATH needs to find a new home. This thing freaks out my computer and brings up the "Not Responding" notice on both Firefox and IE. Plus, it's twice as bad when it's on the side AND across the top of the page.
I know it's not just me either, I saw a couple other campers say something about it the other day.




Ok, so that was really my only point for this campfire, but since we always like interactive...ness around these parts, tell me something that makes you rage that really shouldn't bother you at all.
If you have nothing and/or this ad doesn't bother you, then feel free to tell me how stupid I am or talk about my excellent Paint skillzzz. I won't mind either way, I promise.

I want to make this campfire for all of us to tell each other were we are going for the Eclipse midnight showing.

We are a large fandom and we always support each other, I am sure some of us will be at certain cinemas where other campers will be but won't know they are there.

Soooo put down where you are watching the midnight showing and what date (different dates, different countries).

Mine will be in the comments.

ps this is for vampgirl!

grownasswoman is pulling an all nighter on the road, her GPS went awol on her. 

I'm trying to keep her up while she drives through Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio....and there are crickets in the forest...

>:(

Please post all of YOUR highlights of the week for grownasswoman when she gets back or just post some crickets...

ARenee363, the author of the wonderful stories Inked & its sequel Marked found out that her stories have been stolen and posted at another site. 

Please help her to get these stories taken down by reporting this person for her obvious theft. 

Thank you ladies so much, I know that you'll do everything to help. The links to report these stolen stories are below. 

Please Report Stolen Inked&Please Report Stolen Marked

That's right . . . tommorow begins the round of 16--or the "knockout phase." ARE YOU READY?

This has been ONE interesting World Cup, thus far. Huge upsets and disappointments. Shocking calls and cards. But, that's the beauty of this game chicos! So come on in here and let's talk what has happened and what we expect to come. Let's talk the low points of some of the group matches and the high points! Let's talk about your team and how you feel they did or they will do if they're still in it. What was your favorite moment? What moment still has you seeing red (yeah, that's a futbol pun!). Let's TALK ABOUT THE WORLD CUP!!!!

This was my post back on June 11, before the first match with my predictions. Inside I'll have an updated list of predictions and comparissions about how they stacked up

So I had a dream last night. And in this dream, I remembered flashes of a certain fic I'd read months ago. All day it's been bothering me and I can't seem to figure out for the life of me which one it is.

So here's the details. Are you ready for this? Because, WOAH, I know sooo much about this fic:

-New Moon AU; Edward never came back yadda, yadda, yadda...

-Bella is on parole/just got off parole/just got out of jail... something like that

-above detail is due to something happening at a party (Bella like drives drunk or something), and Jessica/Lauren (I can't remember which one *shocker*) ends up hurt or dead or something

SORRY for the lack of knowledge. doubt any of you lovelies will know this, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Here's some purty FYT:

PS. It still feels great to be back . <3 you all (:

so i havent been to the forest in what seems like forever(nice new site design)! but i thought of you guys today and decided i had a great FFFA post :)

warning spoilers below! (although, i might have been the last one to watch buffy)

i just finished watching buffy for the first time courtesy of netflix. here are my thought and i would love to hear what you buffy experts think.

first things, first. i loved it. i love buffy and angel and didn't know if i was going to continue to like it after he left...but i really did love the rest. 

i loved faith. was a little sad when she went off the deep end but i liked her comeback at the end. 

willow was cool but i didn't like her crazy witched out addiction storyline...the funniest willow moment was when spike couldn't kill her and he didn't know why and she tried to make him feel better. lol.

xander got on my nerves with his constant hating on angel and spike. he totally never got over buffy...

loved dawn and how she was introduced. she was so cute :)

buffy and spike doing it all season 6 was the highlight for me...

...but the lowest of the low was the spike attempted rape thing. i really hated that...

season 6 was great because of the buffy/spike sexin, but buffy's emo breakdowns were a bit much. oh but the musical was AWESOME!

season 7 was the worst one for me....the 'first' took over everything and i didn't really get into the characters. i don't know how i feel about the spike with a soul thing... 

oh and how can i forget anya?! i loved her sfm!

so tell me. what was yall's favorite buffy moment? and are yall team angel or team spike?
