This weeks Pimp&Rec challenge:

Pimp the Fic written by yourself or a friend (or just something you love)

and

Rec one real, published book

Many of us are entering summertime meaning that we enjoy the portability that books offer, plus, we all should remember to read a book now and then right?

So go forth and PIMP a FIC and REC a Book

(and of course, you can pimp and rec as many books or fics that you want. I am lax on the rules. I am nice that way.)

Remember to tell us WHY you love the Fic/Book and post pictures of banners and book covers to make the page nice and pretty!

NO, NOT HER.

Her.

SO I'm fairly new here and this is my first campfire : ) i thought this would be an awesome 1st campfire for me to start : )

So as most of us ladies know rob is playing jacob on water for Elephants and he just started filming recently....

 I love him...lol

Pics are inside so click!

I just had to post this gif... I don't know if there's a better quality one out there, but when I saw it, all that my mind could come up with was

UUUUNNNFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I've been a lurker here for a while, but lately I've been thinking of these fics that I read a while ago and I can't figure out which ones they were, and can't get them out of my head.

So, I have come to you. AH, Bella found this note that Edward wrote 5 years ago (on the back of a picture perhaps???) and it has a small portion of the lyrics to 5 years time by Noah and the Whale. I'm 90% sure this is a very popular fic, and right after she found this she thought "I'm going to marry this man." I'm sorry, but that's all I can remember.

This next part may or may not be from the same fic as that one, but I'd like to know regardless, 99% sure this was AH as well. All I remember is that somewhere, somehow, these lyrics went into the story, and it wasn't the playlist for the chapter in the A/N. "This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind. Fate isn't what we're up against, there's no design, no flaw to find." From "Young Pilgrims" by The Shins, and yes, that's literally all I have for you, but I'm mostly sure this was a very popular fic.

Thanks in advance!

Slightly longer than the one shown on Oprah:

Hi Campers! Things have been CRAZY BUSY for me these past two weeks but I wanted to let ALL of you know that the Postcard Project was a phenomenal success! Over 180 postcards were collected from all around the world but since 108 of those were from the USA, I would like to break up telling you about our campers who participated into a series of posts. I have ADF Project Postcard - International Edition, ADF Project Postcard - US Edition, and ADF Project Postcard - The Event.

It took FOREVER for me to figure out how I was going to get everyone to say which postcard is theirs, so I have placed each of the postcards in it's own spot for comments

RIGHT HERE for you to "OFFICIALLY CLAIM YOURS"

and, of course, you can claim them in the comments as well.

I would like to make sure that they are all officially claimed, though, since it would be great to see who sent what, so remember to go here

ADF Project Postcard

...you will have to scroll to the bottom and go to "older posts" to see all of them (or check out the sidebar)

Also, you can click on each of the pictures to make them bigger on the linked site as well.

Here is a taste of what is there:

but click the link, there are MANY MANY more. 

Once most of these are claimed we will do something else special with them. I don't know what yet. But I am trying to get someone extremely creative and very talented to do something great (not that I am trying to butter her up)...if you have any ideas, let us know but remember to GO CLAIM YOUR POSTCARD!

(and the pimp post will be coming soon...I missed it last night because, like I said, crazy busy)

My Mum and I were talking this evening about how she met my dad at a pub through a friend and at first she hated him. She thought he was full of BS basically. That's until she actually GOT TO KNOW him.

Now, i've also been reading lots of fanfics of Dickward and kinda wish I had my own too.

What I want to know is, have you known any Dickwards in your life? Are they worth it? Did you hate your (ex)boyfriend/girlfriend before you knew the real them?

FYT (and because I love this pic)

Please check this weird, goofy video. (Sorry, I can't embed it.)

video.forbes.com/fvn/fictional-15-10/billionaire-vampire-carlisle-cullen

Apparently Carlisle is the richest fictional character on the Forbes list, beating out Scrooge MacDuck AND Richie Rich, with his personal wealth valued at $34.1 billion.

The IRS is also looking into him for backtaxes on the last 300 years of interest and stock market dividends. No word yet on why a 234-year-old nation expects backtaxes for the last 3 centuries, only one of which has been spent in North America.

So, campers, what do you think? Is this an accurate assessment of Dr. Cullen's wealth? Do you really think he's guilty of tax evasion, especially now that the IRS requires citizens to claim their Swiss bank accounts? And since when are the Volturi his "sugar daddies," and why would that be taxable income?

whatcha doin?

spring is here, summer's breathing down our necks.  it's a gorgeous day here in southern california.  i just went to yoga class and i'm headin' off to the costco to raise an eyebrow at the twilighty covers of p&p, WH, and YA novels to get lunch meat and beer.

It's the start of tourist season in NYC and we welcome them in classic NY style. This was taken yesterday on 5th Avenue. I love this city SFM.

Show us pictures of where you live and tell us why you love your hometown!

So I am making a  party invitation for my daughter's 12th birthday party.  I would like to use this pic with only 2 balloons between Edward and Bella in Twilight lingo (perhaps a play off a good quote) on the subject of "Macey's Birthday Party" (as in Bella is asked if she is going or told to go or whatever.) Looking for something creative here. All the party info with be below so I'm not worried about that ... I'm just looking for something quick. What have you got??? Thanks!! 
 

There's some new footage from Eclipse featured in the first video single from the Eclipse soundtrack.

See more of them HERE

These are terrible quality, but they're the first pics of Rob on the set of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS which began filming today.
