Yikes.  I spent all night reading ELEMENTAL - it is AMAZING! 

It is soooooh good - I generally only like AH and not AU stories.  But this combines a human aspect in an AU and there is a very sweet romance storyline as well.  This is great.  I cannot wait for more. 

Has anyone else read it or anything like it?

Today I am home alone and I need to get a ton of housework done that I have been putting off for weeks. Tomorrow is my best friend's birthday and we are having our Memorial Day cookout. Then Monday I'll probably chill out all day.

Tell me your plans for the Holiday weekend. And if you are not from the The U.S., just tell me your weekend plans.

Also feel free to post pretties. I just got a new laptop and am in need of GREAT pics!!!

HAPPY SATURDAY RANGERS AND CAMPERS

FYT:

Why do you like a certain actor or actress?

SR updated the lastest chapter of The University of Edward Masen this morning.

Can't say I didn't saw this coming me, but she still caught by surprise..

What are your thoughts?

I love Iced Coffee. 

I cold brew my coffee with a Toddy maker and it makes the best iced coffee! Anyone else use the cold-brew method?

Come on campers...how to you make your favorite cup of Joe?!

I've been researching sex ALL night. Seriously, the history and evolution of it and it led me to wonder . . . .

The Seven Deadly sins.

Which one are you? Do you fall prey to just one?

• Lust – to have an intense desire or need: “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28).
  
  
• Gluttony – excess in eating and drinking: “for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags” (Proverbs 23:21).
  
  
• Greed - excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness: “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more” (Ephesians 4:19).
  
  
• Sloth – disinclined to activity or exertion: not energetic or vigorous: “The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway” (Proverbs 15:19).
  
  
• Wrath – strong vengeful anger or indignation: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1)
  
  
• Envy – painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage: “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:1-2).
  
  
• Pride - quality or state of being proud – inordinate self esteem: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

I'm bored, it's 9 am where I live and I'm wide awake so let's talk about random facts, hit me with the best ones you got. Oh and some of you don't like my new avi, some of you want spike back this warms my heart.

Some of mine.

If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

The numbers '172' can be found on the back of the U.S. $5 dollar bill in the bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.

President Kennedy was the fastest random speaker in the world with upwards of 350 words per minute.

In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.

Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.

The 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.

In the early days of the telephone, operators would pick up a call and use the phrase, "Well, are you there?". It wasn't until 1895 that someone suggested answering the phone with the phrase "number please?"

Okay what I should be doing is studying for my finals. Instead I'm here, wondering around the forest, looking at smexy, nerdy Rob getting told by Tom Cruise he needs to stay very dirty, showing off my pervy gifs to Yasmina2005 (whom I ♥).

Since FFA is in effect until 5, I still have time, right? Sooo, I don't really have anything to listen to while studying (I just needed to insert this here for my conscience). I love my iPod but I can't bear to listen to the songs on it anymore. Please give me some good music that you like. It can be summery, in fact, I would love it if it were. I love me some indie rockers but I can't resist that gaga lady either, the only thing that I have difficulty digesting is country. It can be oldies as well, though I have recently ODed on Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin since I found out I had all their albums on my hard drive, so preferably not those. 

Please help out a camper in need.

I also wanted to say rain.soaked.hello rocks really hard. Show her and her fic, The Piano Man with a sexy Dadward some luuurve.

Thankgoodness for FFAF, so I can display how slow and technologically challenged I am.

I bought a Motorola Droid phone, so that I could indulge my FFn addiction anywhere that I can get a cell signal, and read at work (NOT on my work computer...).

I have learned how to sort of surf around and how to zoom or shrink the pages so that I can read them.

Then, today, on FanFiction.net, I notice a button at the top of the page     

   mobile edition

No more zooming in and out, and scrolling left to right and up and down to get to search functions or the arrow to go to the next chapter...  This  has made my day!   (it's been a slow day, folks...)

So, anyone have any other obvious (to everyone but me) helps and hints and shortcuts for feeding the FFn addiction pasttime?  Does Twilighted have a similar function? (I haven't been on twilighted in days...)

He is slowing working his way back into my life.

Seriously you guys, I've been watching Buffy and Angel and Buffy and Angel (back to back in order, don't you know), and there are many APOCALYPTIC NEAR MISSES that befall those poor kids.

And it got me to wondering what I would do if my house were suddenly overrun by monsters or something?

Sadly, I don't have a super cool fightin' axe.

In fact, the most powerful tool in the house might be the black and decker cordless drill which isn't gonna fend off any monsters, unless they're made of wood and I could perforate them with enough holes that they fall apart, but I doubt I'd be fast enough.

I do have a hardcore badass cast iron skillet, but that requires some pretty close range hand-to-hand action, and let's face it: I'd lose.

So, to keep some distance between myself and the potential baddies, I figure I should have a few things handy that I can throw, but I'm not really one for knick-knacks. All I've got is my antique glass gallon jar and a few cheap china cats from the fifties.

Too bad I don't have a handy sixth century stone baton of death to toss!

I could beat off demons til the cows came home with this puppy.

What've you got in the way of MONSTER FIGHTING GEAR? Show me.

Today I finally published the epilogue of Neon Moon. Also on LJ.

I feel like I just watched my daughter graduate, that's how much love I've put into this story.

Share your proud fic moments, your long-awaited completions, or any of your labors of love!

FYT:

Girl crushes. we all have them, mine is Rachelle Lefevre, who is yours?

Thanks alot, campers...

You are your darn pictures of Nutella.    I always thought it was composed of some sludge from the netherworld....well in Costco today they had  it featured when you walk in the door. It was taunting with it's evil double pack so I had to see what the fuss was about. What started this mess and broke the straw, so to speak was when it was featured in a pic that wtvoc a camper posted earlier this week.

Now I have something else I can't live without. Like my life needed more complications...

:)

After the second campfire within a week, i gotta ask....

Where is the Kristen love lately?

I think she's a cool chick.

So consider this a Kstew love in.

Post whatever you like pictures, video, music. Lets show the lady some love.

Just 'cos I have a strange addiction to behind the scenes at photo shoots videos. here ya go.

In Twilight canon pairing seems to be favorite- Team Jacob aside.

I was curious what are people's favorite ships in other fandoms? The ships that to you are canon and everyone else is in denial.

I love Draco/Hermione in Harry Potter- they were my first fanfic reads!, or Hermione/Fred or Hermione/Cedric.... (I have Ron issues) 

Alias- love Sark/Sydney! Sark was always my favorite character and loved the banter.

What is OTP to you?   OTP- One true pairing.

*First campfire and its FFAF, so hope this is fine*

Hey all!!! How was your day?

I went to town for groceries and came back with my 2nd holes pierced.

I love piercing, but I'm pretty particular about what I do to my own body.

I wanna see your piercings!!!!

Ears, nose, viper, belly button, whatever.

If you disagree like my grandfather LOL, tell us why!

I'll go first. I have two holes in my ears.

I have my nose pierced

not me btdubs...

And I'm DYING to get my tragus pierced, but I'm put off by the fact people who have them say they can't wear earbuds. I CANNOT live without my music.

My job won't let me get an industrial, or I would have it tomorrow. Boo.

SHOW ME WHATCHU GOT, ADF!!!!

I have a tendency to get really obsessed with things.  Currently, much like many people here, I'm obsessed with Twilight... and Rob... and Edward... and Twific.  

But I had many obsessions that led up to this one.  I won't mention all of them, because it would take forever.  But here are a few of the things that I loved before Twilight.

Christian Bale                                                            Gerard Butler

Red Hot Chili Peppers

An obsession is defined as the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc. 

So tell me... what dominated your thoughts and feelings before Twilight?

Sorry if this has been asked before.  But I don't search the pages of this ish on a regular basis.

So, I've slowly been coming out of the fanfic closet with my boyfriend and right now we're doing a nighttime reading of Canzone -- he's an opera lover.  As I was explaining to him the reason why I found fanfic in the first place -- Breaking Dawn fail -- it occured to me that he might enjoy fanfic for the same reason -- Lost fail.

So, is there anyone out there who could recommend a good Lost fic?  I'm sure they exist, but I have no idea where to start.

I've got nothing to share except, watch that MTV Movie Awards video VVV down there.  It's hilarious!!

This is going to get RPattz attention?

This is for you non-glee lovers. enjoy.

For those glee lovers, tell me your favorite singing moments on the show or dance numbers.
