It's still free for all Friday, right? If not, sorry! Anyways, I'm about to go see Alice in Wonderland, and what I want to know is; Have you seen it yet? Is it good? Horrible? Fantastic?

What did you think of it/ what do you think you'll think of it?

I just wanted to say how much I love the new Forest background. It is actually going to hit 50 degrees here this weekend, and I'm so excited to have spring in the air. Even if I am incapacitated in my house due to allergies or a cold or sinuses or whatever the hell is going on in my head.

Anyway, our site is beautiful and winter-free and adds to my joy. Yay!

Hi Campers! Since it's still Free-For-All Friday/Saturday, I'd like to pimp a little fanfic contest we're hosting over at District 13.

KENT NEWS: The trustees of an old pump house which is being used to film a steamy orgy scene with Twilight heart-throb Robert Pattinson said they had no idea the shoot would be so raunchy, writes Chris Murphy.

Film company Redwave Films is taking over the Crossness pumping station in Erith for three days of filming next week.

Pattinson is starring in Bel Ami, and plays lothario reporter Georges Duroy who sleeps his way to the top of the business and seduces wealthy women.

Kill Bill star Uma Thurman is also on the cast list, as his wife, in the film based on the classic novel by Guy de Maupassant.

And Christina Ricci stars as Clotilde de Marelle, alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, both of whom fall under his spell. The crew have been on site for 10 days preparing the sets and will spend three days taking it all down again.

The orgy scene will take place in a Parisian café being created in the Victorian landmark that will be open to the public later this year.

Pattinson, 23, who has also starred in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, said: “There is a lot of sex.”

He told movie bible Variety: “It’s a totally amoral character. In Paris, everybody was just going nuts.

It was like the 1980s. Sex was a kind of a weapon and a tool, and it’s odd.” Of the sex scenes, he said “there’s something very mercenary about it in a lot of ways”.

The station was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1865 and is undergoing renovation helped by lottery funding, government money and £20,000 from the film company.

The station was built to pump London’s sewage into a reservoir before it was discharged into the Thames at high tide.

The station houses the largest rotative beam engines in the world, built by James Watt and Sons, but these will be covered up by the film set.

Both the building and the cast-iron machinery are being restored to their former glory by the Crossness Engines Trust and the station is open to the public by appointment before its general opening this year.

Pump station trustee Mike Jones had no idea there was going to be a romp on site.

He said: “I am on the set for one of the days, so that should be interesting. It is so cold in here I can’t think anyone would want to perform something like that.

“I’m sure it will all be done in the best possible taste. I’d no idea what they were going to film, only that it was a Parisian café.”

The station is being transformed into a 19th century French dining room to shoot the scene.

One source said: “It will be tastefully done with lots of candlelight and lace, but it will be the sexiest thing Robert’s ever been seen in and will get his female fans even more excited.”

A spokesman for the film said: “It will be really great fun filming in Kent. This is a great location.”

The movie is due out next year.

morning ladies and gents!

I wanted to start a fire to let everyone know that pattinson online will be hosting a live pattycast (podcast) at 8:30pst/11:30est today. Late, I know. I just got up.

Anyway, heres the info from the site. There WILL be call ins. Directions should be posted. I believe there will be coverage of the red carpet via Janna (our director of awesome) but if you'd rather not listen in now, you can always download for the information later from itunes. We have another episode going over the NM junket that's already out. Janna had a moment with rob and later with chris in the elevator. Good stuff.

http://ow.ly/1f0hp the site page has a link to the ustream. Go to WHERE: and click ustream on the page.

Edit: I'll be there acting as a mod under folk *lorn (old username)

First Campfire... YAY! lol... (yeah i know... EVERYONE says that...)

With it being free for all friday, I thought I would leave this little doozie that was in my email this morning... I hope you guys like it as much as I did...

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :  

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?  

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.  

 One student, however, wrote the following:  

 First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely.. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.  

  Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:  

  1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.  

  2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.  

So which is it?  

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.' 

 THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

In the spirit of FREE FOR ALL 'TIL FIVE, I wanted to share this video"

 i just upadated it with a second chapter, so yeah.

I love writing this and getting reviews makes me feel fantastic about myself.

so please check it out.

actually, you don't even have to review. just seeing my traffic numbers go up is amazing.

but i like reviews.

as well.

for your time:

At what point in time do you give up on a fic ever getting updated? For me, if there is no post from the author about real life issues or writers block I give it three months. I just cleared out about five fics from my list. I saved two - one because I'm a fangirl and the second is by an author who just died (Abnormal Psychology by 4lettrwrd, I'm still sad about her passing)

So when do you throw in the towel? What pushes you over the edge to give up on a fic ever getting updated?

Supposed new Eclipse Posters. 

*cough* bullshit *cough* but I thought Id share.

Me thinks Photoshopping was involved in the making of these.

She's in hiding at Walmart in North Carolina.

What do y'all think of the vamp clothing choices in the movies?

And I know the travesty that was the Bellavamp frolick will come up...but I seriously have a big problem with how they have been dressed in general.

Thoughts?
