So, I've been wanting to ask this for a few days now. It's been on my mind for a while.

So, I know that we finally get to see Royce King in Eclipse. We read about his eternal douchebaggery in fics constantly (Especially, if you're like me and constantly read Em/Ro stories) so, here's my question. Is it just me or does anyone else picture this guy when you think of Royce?

For those of you who don't know who this dude is, may I please introduce you to Scott Disick. He is the BF/Baby daddy to Kourtney Kardashian. I'm totally obsessed with everything Kardashian and can't stand him. To me, he is the definition of a DBag. He dresses like one, acts like one, etc...

Some of his most famous antics include getting drunk in Vegas on Kim's birthday and stuff a $100 bill into a waiters mouth, mouthing off to Kris Jenner all the time for no reason,  being lazy and not working to support his pregnant girlfriend, making pregnant girlfriend's 12 year old sister serve him drinks at girlfriends parents house all day long, and according to the previews from this upcoming season of Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami, parties too much, drinks all the time, punches mirrors, throws shit and ends up in the hospital on a respirator. And he's just generall rude to everyone, with his stupid arrogance and sense of entitlement.

Am I the only one that sees Royce here? They should have casted his douche to play him. He could do it perfectly...

And I'm done ranting....what do you guys think?

Hey There Campers!!

It's Monday and I'm feeling stressed.  It's the first Monday of my kid's summer break...and my husband is home too.

My Monday morning quiet is over...

My Monday afternoon bliss is no more...

(I can't wait for the end August!)

 So... new Forest huh?? It's looking good!!  And I was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning to find a PM in my email.  I love that new feature. 

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE NEW FEATURES?!?

Tell me about your weekend...

Did you watch the World Cup?

Did you see the Bonnaroo coverage on Youtube... or Were you there?!!?

Did you see all of the press coverage Rob, Kristen and Taylor did for Eclipse?

Some random facts for ya....

-There are 206 bones in the adult human body and there are 300 in children (as they grow some of the bones fuse together).

-Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.

-The highest paid CEO in 2004 was Terry Semel of Yahoo. He earned $230 million, or approximately $630,000 per day.

-A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

-A can of SPAM is opened every 4 seconds.

-The Earth experiences 50,000 earthquakes each year.
 

I'm watching the football.

Last time around, I called these guys to win.

I was right, of course.

This time I don't think they have a squad that can go all the way. (more likely Ivory Coast or Spain)

However, the Italians are worth watching.

You know I don't usually do this but this just compelled me to. Please hear me out

So I was just looking for one shots since I have exams and all so I try not to get too distracted, but what I found instead was this beautiful, sweet and enchanting multichap story, Winter of Love by Belle Dean.

Summary: The Year is 1969. Change is in the air and, in rural Washington, love is in the air when small-town values collide with freewheeling teenagers. Canon Couples, All Human, Drug Use & Lemons.

This is one of the most captivating stories I've read recently, it's unique, interesting and well written, the kind of fic that really takes you by surprise and makes you fall in love more and more as it unravels. I just started reading and I'm already hooked. I'm kind of appalled at the low review count, so I thought I'd give a shout-out. Please give it a try and tell her I sent you ;)

Hey ADF!

Frst of all, the forest is looking real charming. I love you all, yes - even you - lurking in the corner...I LOVE YOU!

Now, gettin' back to the bidness [cause bidnezz is biznass].

I just finished reading, "How to save a life" and I cried - I mean I seriously CRIED, cause of how real it was. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but the love Bella has for her dad - well, it made me miss my dad [he's back home in the US with my family and I'm abroad with hubz and kiddo - very crap].

So, yeah...usually - I don't like to read angst and I'll be honest I did read epilogue 3 of 3 before I continued reading most of the story cause I need a HEA [awake in the infinite cold being an exception].

..Anywho all nonsensical ramblings aside...

PUHLEEEEASSSE rec me some angsty ExB with a HEA - as real as HTSAL...Please?

xoxo

Also, lemons are always very cool.

Hello Happy Campers!

I have a HUGE favor to ask all of all of you intelligent and savvy internet users!

Over the past few weeks I have been kind of busy and *SHOCK* have had to skip over the Eclipse sneak peak videos and such because of my lack of time with always the intention of coming back to them.

Now, I could use the NEW AND INCREDIBLE SEARCH FEATURE and search for the tag "Eclipse" but I thought it might be fun to get ALL THINGS ECLIPSE in one place.

Yes, this is for things WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN but maybe have missed.

So, go forth and spam this campfire with EVERY SINGLE ECLIPSE SCENE VIA YOUTUBE OR STILL PICTURE that has been released.

I want it ALL. I want to be able to visit this campfire and feel like I have already seen the movie and I want you guys to do the work because you love ADF and maybe me

Hi there -

Many of you know Staceygirl/JackBauer, a talented author who is a VIP here in the forest.  Her family is going through a serious crisis at the moment, and she's asked me to pass along the information to you all in the hope that you can spare a moment to send some good thoughts in the direction of her nephew, Jace:

I've just come home from a trip, so I didn't see the new Eclipse clip with the Victoria hunt until now.

The thing that bothers me is...

WHY IS CARLISLE SPEAKING BRITISH!

Not that it's anything wrong with british, I like British accent, but he DOESN'T SPEAK BRITISH IN TWILIGHT+NEW MOON!

I know that there have been other campfires about this, but I just had to say it again, it is so weird!

Hey! John! Wow!  I am really enjoying the improvements and tinkerings!!!!

Hey! Rangers All! Thanks so much for being so get-at-able and for taking good care of all of us campers!  

You guys are wonderful.

Hey there Campers,
The Rangers (and by that I mean mostly just JOHN) have been hard at work pruning the trees and trimming the shrubberies and generally making improvements around the Forest!
Get ready to experience a new and improved woody wonderland!

In the mean time, you might have a few minutes of difficulty accessing the Forest. Don't panic over a 503 error or anything like that.

So, I'm gonna bite the bullet and just beg--please read my fics, please?

Did you know that "biting the bullet" came because back in the day if you did your head would get blown off?  Food for thought.

Anyway, so I've had some traffic on my fics, which I love, and I really don't care if someone reads them, okay that's a lie, but lately the only people reviewing and adding me to alerts are those that I can tell aren't over the age of 15 and what I'm writin' isn't for babies, catch my drift?  So I would just love to know that someone out there reading has at least been of age to pretend they are of legal drinking age for a bit. 

Thanks.

Yeah, I know, I have no pride--but at least I have balls (the metaphorical kind).

This was posted today on Post Secret:

I realize that the sender was most likely referring to the book, not the fanfiction story, but I still thought it would work in reference to the fanfic.

Have you ever read a fanfic that changed your outlook on something in your life? What was the story, and how did it affect you?

Its long, so here the link.

This is from the press conference, but I like reading instead of viewing so I hope no one minds me posting it. I really loved this interview. It seems like she actually gets the Twilight Saga a lot more than others involved in the filmmaking process.

My favorite part:

Q: In this film, Bella has to make a decision. Did you feel like that was a big challenge?

Kristen: Yeah. There’s definitely the conflict, in that she’s pushed to the point where the decision needs to be made in this one. What’s cool is that things change and, as certain as she is sometimes, and as absolutely gung-ho, young, courageous and brave as she is, she’s also willing to take a step back and go, “Okay, I’m going to reconsider my options and reconsider how I’m treating everybody.” She acknowledges that she’s being a little bit selfish. She makes the choice. I feel like the choice has been made. As soon she sees Edward in the first film, it’s done, but it’s hard for her to get to point where everyone is going to accept that, and this is the film that it happens in.

See SMeyer, even KStew knows there is no triangle.

Also, the producer did an interview that mentioned two things that made me feel a little better concerning BD

And how might you use 3D in either part of Breaking Dawn?

We have considered it, and everything's being discussed, but I know that part of a way to differentiate the two movies would be to have one be in 2D, and when she becomes a vampire we move into 3D. But we haven't really gotten far enough to decide what we're going to do. I'm of two minds of it, frankly, and I think everyone is; I don't want to chase the format if it's not organic and appropriate. If we think it is, we will.

Fans around the world seem to have one big request, and that is: Feathers. Lots of feathers.

We have feathers currently being grown on geese around the world so that we can steal them for our pillow-biting feather eruption!

I thought the feathers comment was great. I also like the idea of the second half being in 3D now that he explained it that way.
