So, although I get to see a lot of the world with my job, I have an horrible time seeing cities in my own country. This is going to change, however, at the end of month when my husband and I head to New York! I'm really excited as neither of us have ever been there.

I know there are some people on here who live in NY - any absolutely-must-see recommendations for us? We're only there for a few days, and I'm kind of over-whelmed at all the things there are to do and see.

Also, to get me in the mood, what are your favorite fanfics that are set in New York? :) Thanks and happy Friday!

What? A shower on Twitter? 

NO, not THAT kind of shower. Get your fanficking minds OUT of the gutter.

LIVE720 is getting married this month and I am throwing her a Virtual Bridal Shower on Twitter.

DATE:  May 12, 2010

LOCATION-ISH: TWITTER  hashtag #720Shower

TIME:   Afternoon/Evening EST.  Yeah, I know, it's VAGUE, but basically it's just a time to set aside to send some tweets in under the #720Shower tag to leave for Rhi, aka @LIVE720

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LJ???

This.

Bring URLs of GIFTS you would get her if you could (virtual gifts or "ZEN GIFTS" a term coined by Anne McCaffrey in her Brawn/Brainship Central Worlds series. The gifts you would give someone if you were there, but you're not, so...)  

Bring MARITAL ADVICE that is less than 140 characters in length.  BREVITY when speaking to a HUSBAND is a GOOD THING.  So are tweets. :)

Bring PICTURES  (I am hereby officially NOT RESPONSIBLE for NSFW pics anyone brings to this shower, lol)

You do not need to reserve the entire day. Just a few moments to drop something off to #720Shower on Twitter. :)  In a virtual shower, it really is the thought that counts!

So, I was reading a fic the other day where B & E had sex for the first time in a dugout- at a city rec field or something. Seemed kinda 'ummm?' to me, but, really, who am I to judge?

It made me think about this:

(Yep, she just said what you think she said)

Anyway, I was thinking the dugout thing was kinda strange, then I remembered one night when hubs (then boyfriend) and I pulled over in a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere. So, my answer to Bob Eubanks would be "In a cornfield." (Well, that or a Marta parking lot.)

So, just for laughs, what's the weirdest place you've ever 'made whoopee'? Any funny stories? Get caught? Fall outa the car with your pants around your ankles? 

Give me lulz. It's been a bad week. 

 Ladies! So today is my birthday and I am having to deal with my bitch of a boss. Grrr...

So could you please make me feel better and spam me with some hotness? ANY will do, my favorites are Robert of course, David Boreanaz, and Zachary Quinto. :) And also any funny or sexy stories would help make the day tolerable. Thanks! Mwah!

Nominate your personal favorites.

So last week I started reading this fic, Beautiful, Dirty, Rich and I read straight through the night. It was glorious

However, my laptop battery died and I lost the page. It's super random because it's not on ff.net and I don't know where to find it.

Please for the love of all things Cullen, someone link this so I can survive again.

FYT

What song is stuck in your mind right now?

Thanks to Glee this one is mine.

So I'm just trying to find more ways to procrastinate and not write my philosophy final paper

so I want you to show me anything that  entertains you!

Show me pictures, videos, websites, music, fics, etc.

Anything that you like to waste your time on :)

Here are some things that have been entertaining me:

<-------- This guy makes some awesome videos and has amazing skills!

I have an adorable hamster. And since it is Free For All Friday, I am going to post a vide of him:

To make this interactive, does anyone else have any videos of their pets doing things or any adorable animal videos that they like? If you do, post'em =D

 I will do a more formal post soon but since WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME I thought I would put these up and HOPE WITH ALL MY LITTLE HOPEY HEART that some of you can help me FILL IN THESE MAPS....

So...there is where we have gotten postcards from WONDERFUL CAMPERS SO FAR in the US and Europe. We have FOUR from Canada and have NINE from Australia, NINE from South America and TWO from ASIA... We are waiting on Africa and there is a rumor that we may get one from Antarctica! 

SO HERE ARE THE MAPS MY LITTLE KID STUDENTS MADE, THE DOTS ARE NOT PERFECT BUT YOU SHOULD GET THE GIST, IF YOU KNOW ANYONE FROM A 'BLANK' AREA WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO SEND IN A POSTCARD, OR IF YOU ARE FROM A 'BLANK' AREA, WE COULD USE YOUR HELP. ALSO, ASIA AND AFRICA ARE WOEFULLY MISREPRESENTED SO IF YOU COULD HELP, LET ME KNOW!

pm me here at ADF or email me at emibella@adifferentforest.com

You can view ALL of the postcards on my twitter picture feed on yfrog at http://www.yfrog.com/froggy.php?username=emibella1  Just scroll through the dumb stuff. I WILL be making an epic campfire next week with ALL of the postcards so get in now!

USE THIS CAMPFIRE TO TELL US IF YOU SEE YOUR DOT OR IF YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE OR IF YOU DID AND HOW!! 

and thanks again, to everyone. This is a HUGE project...we have 137 postcards SO FAR and want MORE!

 Hello Campers

I noticed that we ask what other campers are reading quite frequently.

I wanted to share this website with you. I think it would be so much easier to share recommendations this way.

I use www.goodreads.com

I found it a couple of months ago, because I wanted to keep track of the books I was reading and wanted to read. 

So I want to know what websites(spreadsheet, word document, etc) do you use?

If you want to add me as a friend, send me a PM and I'll give you my e-mail

I can't possibly be the only person who got this yesterday and read it completely, in one sitting, then fell into a happiness coma asleep and are now dying to talk about it, can I?

******THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE  SPOILERS HERE******

And Yet They Shine By Chicklette

Isabella Swan is an ordinary girl, caught up in an extraordinary world. What if the Cullens weren't vampires? What if they were gods instead?

----

It's only four chapters so far and it's really good, and different. Anyways there is a first part and the author said it wasn't mandatory to read it.. and I'm kind of on the fence about whether I should read it or not. Have You read this? Are You reading it? If You are, should I read the first part? If you're not please go check it out.. it's amazing.
