I've been having really bad luck lately and my life has been kinda sucking so yesterday I was really upset and one of my good friends told me to watch this video. It just really amazed me and now I have to share it with everyone I know. Idk if I will ever find anything as inspiring as this:

Hiya!

I was just wonderin' how many Canuck Campers we have on ADF!

I'm in Montreal, QC and would love to know if there are any Campers around me!

So if yer Canadian let us know eh!

And to make it more interactive...what do you love most about being Canadian? (Free Healthcare? Maple Syrup? Igloos? Dogsledding?)

Also...GO HABS GO!

FYT:

 Has any one coined a name for the Edward in U of EM? He struck me as extremely creepy at first. Especially when he wanted to touch her shoes...

But now he strikes me as very Mr. Darcy. And I love me some Mr. Darcy.

So how do you feel about Edward in U of EM? Or the story in general? Or have you not read it yet (if you haven't, READ IT)?

Yum

Yeah I know another annoying campfire from me…anyways..Hey campers so it’s getting closer to Memorial day weekend and we are still hashing out all the details…but I say if anyone wants to join PM me and I will tell you the itinerary we have come up with for the meet-up. I know a few campers are all for it so yeah PM me and I will give ya my email so we can talk times and places whatnot and if we get enough girls together we can maybe even find a awesome restaurant to grub at hehe

And for any of you late-comers… My bestie (EmmaleeWrites05) and my fellow ff pal Lisa (HopelessRomantic79) and I (LittleLea05) are going to San Francisco on Memorial Day weekend (Saturday the 29th-Monday the 31st) just to get away from everyday life and thought we would extend the invite to other campers and/or rangers in the area. We plan on doing all kinds of awesomeness…like the Exploratorium, the Warf/Pier 39, and definitely Ripley’s Believe it or Not…there was talk about some bar hopping but if you are interested PM me on here or twitter ( @LittleLea05 )…it would be awesome to get some girls together on the West Coast.

A little pretty for y'all

Gah the glasses, the hat, the hair, the boots..who wouldnt want some of that??

And here is some VF RPattz

Guess I could have waited to post this for when the Californians were actually at home haha...it is only 2PM here...they are probably still at work :(

my neighbor is an idiot

he has been using power tools every single day for a couple hours a day for almost two months now

seriously, my kid could've built whatever it is you're building in 2 weeks there, dude

discuss the annoying or awesome things your neighbors do

because i'm the lady who gives all the neighborhood kids baked cookies and popsicles in the summertime

i mean, it's pretty rude to only give treats to your own kids, right?

So I'm curious. I have tattoos on my wrist and I want more, I'm just not sure what I want.

Show me your tattoos that you have or would get if you don't have any. Not that I would take any of your ideas, i am just bored.

Here are mine. They are on the inside of my wrist.

 Right (it looks kinda funny because of how the camera was angled)

Since it's is Friday Free For All, I have decided to pimp a project I've been working on:

MyT-Spot.com. Our main purpose is to sell t-shirts, mugs, hats, ect. that celebrate our favorite Twilight fanfictions. All the proceeds from what is bought at our store goes to The Fandom Gives Back (www.thefandomgivesback.com).

Granted, we don't have a whole heck of a lot in our Zazzle store since we just really started adding designs into it this week but we plan on adding a bunch more over the next few weeks leading up to Fandom Gives Back Eclipse.

Right now we do have stuff for stories like Hydraulic Level 5, University of Edward Masen, Hide and Seek, A Life Extraordinary, ect. On top of Twific stories, we are also selling designs for blogs, websites, Facebook groups, ect.

 We're currently reaching out to Twific authors to see if they are interested in having merchandise based off their stories sold in our store. As well as the artists and graphic designers in the Twific community, asking if they are interested in doing original art for t-shirts.

If anyone is interested in this, you can drop a comment here or email me at creatorofswirl@gmail.com.

You can also check out what we have of our store here: http://www.zazzle.com/myt_spot

Thank you so much!

This video has the power to render people speechless. But once you regain the ability to speak, please tell me what you think.

So, yesterday, I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both of my hands/wrists.  I was told to wear braces on my wrists 24/7 for the next two weeks, use ice and heavy amounts of ibuprofin.  :(  This may help me avoid surgery. 

Mostly though, I was told to keep off the keyboard as much as possible.  As you can see, this is difficult.  :(

My boss recommended some voice-recognition software.  I can see that this might be really helpful for work, but what about *writing*??

Do you any of you use this to write?  Do any of you use dictation/transcription?  Are there any novelists that do this?  Can someone please tell me that my writing life isn't over? 

Also, this makes me feel olde even though I'm not even 40.  :'(

So I was scrolling through my LJ and found this post.  It was so sweet I wanted to share with ya'll.

A couple in California decided to base their engagement photos off of the movie Up.

Have you seen Disney Pixar’s movie UP? Every time I see this movie I cry no matter what. It is quite touching. So, when Wildlfowers Photography shared with us this adorable engagement shoot we were so excited to share it with you!

The idea of this photo shoot came from Lynnette and James. Their favorite movie is UP so they wanted an engagement shoot based around the movie. Below is a sweet and touching letter that James wrote to Lynnette and so kindly shared with Wildlfowers Photography and we are going to share it with you… break out your hankies…

“Lynnette… I have a confession, I am in love with you. It is not the ‘usual’ love, but the love that makes me remember the little things, the ‘boring’ things. It is the boring things in life that I will remember the most. The memories of jumping over sidewalk cracks to how the clouds talk to us. You make me remember the moments. It is that love that makes me believe. Belief that I was there when you were a toothless kid. Dancing through life, only stopping to hold my hand. Letting me know that anything is possible. I am in love with you, ‘my greatest adventure’. – James”

Super sweet pics that will make your heart squeeze and teeth rot are in the first post.

To make this interactive, share a romantic gesture that your significant other has done for you in the past.  Or perhaps something you've done for your SO.

I've already mentioned it a few times but I'm going to be a French teaching assistant in the US next year and today I got the details to where I was going.

Some of the best literary novels were spawned from challenging popular opinion. All of the books I’ve shown above have been banned in one form or another at some point for their content. Yet, today they are admired and studied. Can you imagine what the world would be like if they’d never been written?

I’d like to discuss creative freedom, controversy and judgment in fan fiction.  I think this may be a bit of a controversial topic so I’d just like to ask that my first campfire not become a place to fling insults or bash others for sharing their thoughts. There’s no right or wrong, you’re free to feel whatever you do. I’m just curious to hear what people really think.

You'll find my thoughts inside...

This has been all over the news here. People are supposed in an uproar because they say these girls are dancing too provocative.

And since its FFA Friday, I figured I'd ask your opinions.

And just because I love this guy. He dances better than Beyonce.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Here you go my lovely woodland critters! 

I hope you guys enjoy these!  :)

(This one is my vote for our "Official Rage Post GIF!")

I have no skills.

I have no experience (unless you count watching television, chain smoking and being generally obnoxious with a vast amount of knowledge in useless pop trivia)

I recently lost income.  I need to make some cashfast. 

Unfortunately, I've checked listings and no one is paying anyone to look at pictures of Robert Pattinson or write fanfiction.  So.

Anyone have any ideas of what a gal with no skills in these economically depressed times can do?

Anyone?

PS--Nothing in which the potential need for syphillis meds will outweigh my income. 

Some folks on here were saying how good the JR Ward series of books are. So I thought I'd try them out as you ladies usually recommend good stuff

So here is my little conundrum. Amazon are selling the set for around £20 which is the first 6 books (I assume it's the first 6, lol)

So what I'm asking people who have read this book is how good are they?

Should I just buy the first one or is it almost a guarantee that once you've read one you won't want to stop? So should I just buy the 6 book set rather than one at a time and save myself money in the long run. Plus the agony of waiting for the next to arrive if in fact they are super addictive????

I can't decide, please help.

So, my local radio station does a playlist every Friday of songs you haven't heard in a long time that you love.

Gimme yours.

There's not much to add after that. Let us Discuss.

I’m just another n00b, but just like the others before me, I need help. What kind of help, you ask? Well, I’m not going to lie, I probably need some psychiatric care, but that’s not why I come to you campers. Today, my problem is small, but unendingly frustrating.

I need help locating a fic.

Fic Description: Edward is an assassin for the Volturi. I don’t remember why, but he gets hired to kill Bella. I believe he already sort of knows Bella, but maybe I’m mistaken. It’s an all human fic, and the other Cullens aren’t aware that Edward is a ‘killer’ but I think they know he’s into something bad. Uh, Bella works in a coffee shop, I think, and that’s how she’s introduced to the Cullens. I remember this scene after Bella meets Edward where these dudes (just one?) try to screw with Bella and Edward kills them/him and it’s extremely obvious, but she’s still not afraid of Edward. He is kind of stalking her…

I read this fic a long time ago (before I even joined FF, I think. I joined 01/09, so it’s a while ago). I don’t know if the fic is still available, but any help would be appreciated!

FYT:

Hi, I know some people frown upon this, but i'm looking for a story that was pulled.

If you would like to share it with me (my eyes only, I really just want to read it again) please PM me.

My intention is not to start a post about the rights or wrongs of sharing, so if you don't agree with this post, please just don't comment.

The Forbidden Room

Thanks!
