Why? peeps may ask - well, because despite my serious enjoyment of all that has to do with South Korea, I'm in a funk over not being back in the US to see a midnight showing of Eclipse with my friends.

Yes, that's right, I'm going to have to miss a week or so of ADF, Twitter and just about everything else I do on the interwebz  just so I dont stumble across any spoilers (not to mention me missing out on a good old drunken GNO and squealing like a pre-teen at hours when you'd usually find me tucked up and fast asleep)

Yes, I can hear some of you tsking away at me - I do indeed need to count my blessings, but despite me contemplating all the good things in my life I just can't get past this funk over my outside of CONUS status for June 30th....so, please, cheer me up over this...pictures, Twilight funnies, in fact anything Twilight related..oh, and catch me up on all the fandom gossip because I've been away from my computer for the past 5 days.

Happy middle-of-the-week campers.

 Discovered this read tonight and quickly devoured it.  I'm loving it.  The writing is smart and witty.  Edward is charming and Bella can hold her own.  And you can tell the writer puts a lot of thought and research into the story.  And super sweet.  I've already received a reply to my chapter review!

Oh no...not another fic to put on my "patiently (somewhat) waiting for updates" list!!!  If you're in need of a read...go, go, go! You won't be disappointed. And then come back here, so we can chat about it!

And if you know of any wonderful AH E/B fics that are....COMPLETED....please give me a rec!

 So, I was thinking about Eclipse and the countdown to it.

And then I realized while you'll be all counting down to my birthday as well. I don't think I'll forget it. ;)

I won't be going to Eclipse on my birthday. I'll go a few weeks later cause...i really don't care.

But on the other hand !

Minisinoo posted a 10 day warning for her website.   The MedicineWheel is going away in 10 days.    If there are any of her stories you want she said you better get them soon.    That's where the wonderful "Finding Himself" is posted (with pictures!).    The sequel is there too.   She will be posting a new chapter to the sequel either Tuesday or Wednesday and will be doing a wrap up as well.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

http://www.themedicinewheel.net/updates.html

Shall we discuss that ending? Eh? EH?

Does this mean there'll be a sequel to Master of the Universe?

And, while we're at it, let's talk about the story as a whole. Loved it? Hated it? Here's where you express your opinion. (be nice, children.)

I just watched Zombieland for the second time and I am in the mood for some apocalypse fics.  They don't have to be about zombies, just about the end of the world.  There was actually one I remembered favoriting a while back, but I can't seem to find it now.  All I remember is that in the summary it said that Bella and Edward were the last people on Earth?  Anyway, if you know which one I'm talking about or have any other recommendations, I'd really appreciate them. =)

(I already know about The Fallout and Bella Swan: Zombie Killer)

So Jandco and I were just chatting about this random FB update from someone who tried to take Robert's picture last night. We think that an angry Robert is kind of hot and much more interesting than "Oprah Rob."

What are your thoughts?

 What´s the best oneshot ya´ll have ever read?

I find really annoying when I review and the author doesn't even reply to my review, not even a 'thank you'. Some even say they don't have the time because they are writing... I think that is  bad excuse. And even that 'thank you', really? That's what you have to say?

I review, because I know how much a review means, I review a story and the author is amazing, she replies to every review and even mentions some reviewers in her A/N. That is being grateful.

For me this is when authors are too lazy and to reply and sometimes I feel like they don't reply because they have +1000 reviews, so they don't care.

This is completely random, and I can't believe I never really thought to look for this before, but does anyone have any Austen/Twilight crossover fics they'd recommend?  Or do they all suck?  Or, is it like, sacrilege?

The Austen fandom is not one I ever got involved in.......why not?

ETA: er.......getting crickets.  nothing nada zilch? i knew there was a reason I never thought to look before. lol.

HAPPY MAYDAY Y'ALL.

Just need a little help, what does FYT stand for?

Hope the rest of your day is as productive as mine wasn't!

MAD LOVE FELLOW CAMPERS.

Storms by AliceEl1zabeth so sorry I really don't know how to link but you must go read.

It's a New Moon AU with a complex real Bella who has more problems in her life than a gaping hole in her chest - debts, a job she dislikes, engaged to a wolf she only loves like a brother. And it has a Jacob who is in turns adorable, irresponsible, agressive, loving, tries far too hard...

An Edward who really is truly sorry for the right reasons - he should never have made Bella's decisions for her and he knows it.

An Alice who can't just 'fix' everything with a shopping spree and knows it and acts thoughtfully and is sad and reflective over all that has happened more than the little pixie we all know and find let's face it rather irritating.

More than this it is written by an English 15 year old. You will not believe the standard this girl has achieved so early on.

((On her  FFnet profile it states she's 16 but she got told off for posting an M rated story so quickly had to have a birthday! ))

Please go and read it  and review it - an author this good so young needs encouragement and she's got a measley 350 ish reviews for over 150,000 words.

And the M rating? It's not really warranted in my opinion so no need to worry about encouraging the corruption of minors. We British are more earthy at a younger age anyway LOL

I'm about to copy and paste a longass list of my bookmarked 'to-reads' for all of you to see. Why? Because I can't remember what half of them are about, or what compelled me to save them for my future reading pleasure. I would very much like for you guys to tell me which ones I should read first and why. Please and Thank you, in advance. And if you feel that I haven't listed something that I must read, then do tell.

Hello, ADF! Happy Memorial Day!

So, I set my DVR today to record the MTV Movie Awards. (yay!) Hubby was in the room, and he said "So, honey..... Why are you recording the MTV Movie Awards?" (He said 'MTV' like it was a curse word.)

ME "So I can see who wins." *shifts eyes*

Hubby "Uh huh. You're going to ffwrd through 80% of it, and only watch anything having to do with Twilight or Robert Patterson."

Me "Pattinson."

Hubby "........"

HA! He thinks I'm nuts, but he knew that before he married me.

Don't forget to set that DVR!

So....... Who do you think will win best kiss? Hhmmm........

FYT

And human and named after Bella's Dad? And had a British accent (er, like Robert Pattinson)?  Would he have looked like this? Hey! Edward has a mole on his neck too! It could happen.  Or maybe Rhett Miller could be a distant cousin in the AH world.  Er, I'd worry that I was reaching too far for the Twi-link, but please notice that young Charlie has Mum & Dad's picture tacked to the wall behind him. 

Anyway, I've had much family drama this weekend and I've been feeling more than a little glum.  For some reason, Charlie cheers me up (and  he does truly remind me of a younger Rob -- maybe it's the accent).  Fellow campers, what cheers you up when it all gets to be a bit too much??

 Oh poo, I can't make the YouTube embed work, drat -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrTFKHYMEk4&feature=related

And look, Charlie sings too!  Um, like his Dadward.
