They did this raw-absolutely no producing or editing on this and they rock as usual. Watch and discuss.

This is my first post so bear with me.

I got this from Yahoo. What do you think? Seems like Miley wants attention.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" might have opened with huge numbers at the box office and had the biggest November & Friday openings for any movie ever - but teen sensation Miley Cyrus wasn't one of the Twi-hards pledging their allegiance to Team Edward or Team Jacob. In fact, the teen star considers the whole "Twilight" world to be "a cult."
 

"I think it's like [a] cult... I think it's a cult," Miley told Sirius XM's The Morning Mash Up in an interview that aired on Tuesday. "I think it's bad. I think it's like, just people get too into it.

The "Hannah Montana" star goes on to compare people's obsession with "Twilight" to the public's fascination with models.
"For me, I think it's like when guys look at supermodels and they're like, 'That's the perfect girl,' ... That's what those kind of movies do to us," she continued. "They're like thinking that's what girls should be like and not everyone is going to be Edward, hate to say it."
Miley might be anti-vampire, but she's very pro-pirate.
 

"Johnny Depp is way hotter than Robert Pattinson, for sure," Miley said when asked about the actor nabbing People magazine's coveted "Sexiest Man Alive" title.
 

And if the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star hadn't been honored with the award, Miley would have liked to see it go to one of her former Disney pals.
 

"There's not many things about me that are like a normal teenage girl. But the one like normal teenage girl thing is that I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world," Miley said. "I really, really like him. And it's weird... it's weird because he's my friend. I think also the reason that he is so sexy is because he and Vanessa [Hudgens] have been together since the first 'High School Musical' and... I think that's really cool."
 

And Miley said she has no problem mixing it up with other celebs like Zac.
 

"No, I'm pretty cool," she joked when asked if she ever gets star struck. "I'm pretty much the coolest person ever... no, I'm pretty cool. I'm pretty much the coolest person ever."

Today as I kicked back with my wheatgrass smoothie for lunch with my free paper, The Shepherd Express (a staple in Emibella's life), I stumbled upon David Luhrsson's review of New Moon.

In general I avoid reviews for anything Twilight related. As someone who studied Literary criticism and enjoys reading about film with a critical eye, I have found that all too often can start to view my guilty pleasures with a narrower lens than need be.

So I cautiously read Mr. Luhrsson's review waiting for the inevitable to find that he did indeed LIKE the movie and I am so glad that I did because it opened up so many themes that popular critics and casual viewers often forget about.

He wrote the following:

"But he [Cullen] demurs, not wanting to take her on a step from which she can never turn back. Romance is the dream of love, compounded by eroticism that can never find release. Becoming a vampire is, as marriage once was, a bond for eternity. And in our essentially unromantic society, the message is clear: there is something to be learned, and gained, from delayed gratification."

I ask you:

Can you justify Bella's desire to die for Edward (either by her admission that she would give her life for Edwards, or by becoming a vampire) against her fear of commitment and marriage?

She says in the books that it is because of her age and her parents. But isn't dying or becoming a vampire much worse?

Do you think this was just a literary device used by Stephenie Meyer or do you think this was really a message she was sending out about the devaluing of marriage as a bond for eternity?

If you are closer to Bella's age than to say, Stephenie Meyer's, is this how YOU feel about marriage?

Is this delayed gratification that the author of this review speaks of the underlying message, then?

GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON COMMITMENT, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, EROTIC RELEASE and HOW IT RELATES TO THE SAGA IN THE BOOKS OR IN THE MOVIES and YOUR LIFE.

It's up on Twilighted.  (This is the lemon one-shot I wrote, which made me concerned that I could somehow land in trouble at work for writing adult fanfic, even if it's on my own time.)

http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=9151

It's called "The Handbook for Vampires," and it's funny and sexy. 

I figured I'd link to it because many of you wrote so much great advice and other information on your personal experiences.  You can read what I was stressing over. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

FOR MY STORY- I NEED TO KNOW THE POLICE PROCEDURES FOR ENTERING A HOUSE WHICH CONTAINS A SERIAL KILLER ALONG WITH THREE INNOCENT CIVILIANS. WOULD THEY COME IN WITH GUNS BLAZING, OR WILL THEY SNEAK IN, OR WHAT?

FOR WRITERS- WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST SHIT YOU'VE HAD TO RESEARCH FOR YOUR STORY???

FOR READERS- WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST FACTOID YOU'VE LEARNED FROM FANFIC??

I KNOW THAT IN "IF LOVE COULD LIGHT A CANDLE", I LEARNED A HELLA LOT ABOUT OLD TIME SLANG. I TOOK NOTES DURING THE CHAPTER, AND THEN I USED THEM WITH ALL MY FRIENDS.  THEY THOUGHT IT WAS COPACETIC AS SH*T.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS

AHHHH HELP ME

The house used as the Cullen's mansion in the movies is for sale. Read about it and see pictures by clicking the above link.

(okay, first: WOW there have been a TON of campfires started today. I MEAN A TON. I haven't been around so if this has been talked about-sorry. But I sifted through the forest and couldn't find it and it's too big to not post)

PASTICHE PEN HAS PUT UP

CHAPTER SIX OF PRICE OF PERMANENCE

Title Summary: Edward Cullen is marrying the perfect woman - except that she's not his version of perfect. How does he catch the woman who is? EPOV Companion to Sin & Incivility. Mature. All-human. 

 Seriously? I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A NICE LONG WEEKEND AHEAD OF THEM AND SHOULD KICK BACK AND READ SOME FIC.

And after you are done reading, visit Pastiche Pen's cabin and tell her what you think!

A Few Minutes Ago I was craving a creamy snack,
so I went down to the pantry and started looking for a creamy snack like pudding.
Which is what I found. Who else remembers those Jell-o Instant Pudding boxes?

So, I made that and just enjoyed it. But it got me thinking;
In Twilight, Bella does alot of cooking. And in my mind I always link cooking with baking.
So, I was wondering;
What was your favourite snack or dessert as a child?
What is it now?
And am I the only one who remembers the Instant Pudding?
*Hopes its not a canadian thing*

Here's Some Rob For Dessert! :P

 I just found this and thought I should share:

oh, and this, the perfect birth control solution:  

I really want that Count Chocula costume from Yesterday.

 I think me finding comedic articles/blogs about Twilight might be a weekly thing.

The Blogess: Inappropriate thoughts that haunt me about Twilight:

1. Why the hell am I reading the Twilight series? 

2. The Twilight vampires are so strong that they can inadvertently knock someone’s head off if they aren’t paying attention because humans are as softer than butter compared them. So wouldn’t having sex with Bella be like fucking a wishing well? 

3. No, really. Why am I reading these? I’m 35, for God’s sake. This is more embarrassing than that summer I had all those weird sex dreams about Dumbledore. 

4. Wait, I mean Snape. Not Dumbledore. No one has sex dreams about Dumbledore. That would be disgusting. 

5. Okay, fine. It was a three-way with Snape and Dumbledore. Ron Weasley was watching for some reason. That part was weird. 

6. So in Twilight, all the bodily fluids of the vampires are poisonous. Their spit is venomous and their eyes juice is so acidic that it dissolves contact lenses, yet their semen is perfectly harmless. Um…what? 

7. Edward’s entire body is made to be super violently fast and all inhumanly strong. So when he had unprotected sex with Bella, why didn’t his super-semen shoot through her body like a bullet out the back of her skull? 

8. Remember when Edward kept telling Bella that he couldn’t plow her because it was “just too dangerous” and she just wouldn’t lay off? I wonder if he ever just said “IT’S BECAUSE I WOULD BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF WITH MY SEMEN, BELLA! GOD! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART ONE. I’M JUST TRYING TO BE DELICATE HERE.” 

9. If you’re going to die anyway, I bet death by vampire ejaculation is a good way to go. 

10. Unless the vampire suffered from premature ejaculation. That would be a shitty way to go. Especially if you didn’t even get it all the way in and he just accidentally shot off your leg with his semen. That would totally suck. 

11. I bet the reason why the Cullen’s sit alone at lunch is because they don’t want to get too close to all those girls on their periods. 

12. Wait, did Bella just never have a period, ever? How did she get pregnant then? Why wasn’t shit this covered in the books? 

14. I bet it sucked when Bella was pregnant and living at the Cullen’s house because when you’re pregnant you get super gassy and every time she farted everyone in the entire house would know it instantly no matter where they were because they all have that super-amazing sense of smell and hearing. Except Alice can tell the future so she probably knew it was coming and had some kind of codeword to use so everyone could stop breathing for awhile. Probably, something like “Bella’s about to fart, you guys”. Alice isn’t very subtle. 

15. If I was Bella I’d never be able to use the bathroom at the vampire house. They all know what you’re doing in there, Bella. 

16. You know what would suck? If you were the human girlfriend of a vampire and you wanted to have oral sex but the dental dam dissolved because of his caustic mouth venom and then you got infected with vampire venom. In the vagina. That would be like Chlamydia times a billion, probably. 

17. I wonder if I’m the only person who’s ever wondered this stuff? My guess is “yes”. 

Sauce

I think we should tell her about fanfiction.

I'm reading this fic --> Room 15 by Coldplaywhore and it's GREAT so far! Yet... Since, English is not my first language, I'm having a bit of trouble with an expression: Bella is said to be a bit of a pill (but with a great ass so I guess it makes up for it ^^). What does it mean when you say someone is a bit of a pill? I googled it and found nothing. Some help, pretty please?

What about you? Do you have things you don't understand? Expressions? Or in general? ^^

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it! I don't but I love Pecan Pie! ^^

 Howdy fellow foresters!

I'm in a country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving and no one is online. I'm at home all day because I'm sick and I'm bored.

I'm watching daytime tv, for god's sake.

So, um, what are the people that aren't doing Thanksgiving doing today?

What's a good fanfiction? this

What's a good movie? I'm thinking I should watch this atm but I've seen it 7 times-->

Who is a pretty man? ahem, this guy---> 

How are you? tired and the pills have made me happy.

I remember a time, back on the old ADF, when we played a game called Caption That Pic. It might not have actually been called that, but that’s what I called it. 

And since there are a lot of new campers I thought we could revisit it.

Not everyone knows this about me, but I'm a pretty awesome cook :)

It's my 2nd love, next to photography, and I love Thanksgiving because it's one of the few times of the year that I really get to throw-down in the kitchen.  Most people love to EAT Thanksgiving dinner...I love to COOK it.

One thing that I have PERFECTED over the years is my Thanksgiving Turkey.  The secret is the BRINE... and now I want to share my recipe.  You gotta start early though... this needs at least 10 hours to be just right.

HOW TO BRINE A TURKEY

First, start with a fresh turkey.  Frozen is ok too, but make sure you let it thaw thoroughly and properly beforehand.  My turkey is 19lbs, but this recipe will work with any size bird:

I gather my ingredients (I use all fresh stuff):

3 stalks of celery

3-4 carrots

2 large onions

2 large oranges

1 bunch each of parsely, sage, rosemary, thyme (cue Simon & Garfunkel)

1 cup each of sugar and salt

3-4 tbs. butter

I roughly chop the veggies (celery, carrots and onion) and sautee...

I then add the sugar and salt to a LARGE pot... large enough to hold whatever size turkey you have.

Add 4-5 cups of hot water and STIR to dissolve the salt & sugar.

Then I use my hand to carefully separate the skin of the turkey from the muscle.  I SLOWLY and GENTLY stick my hand inside to separate the skin without tearing it.  I then put the butter (thin slices) and the about 1/3 of the fresh herbs between the skin and the muscle.

The herbs and butter REMAIN INSIDE once I roast the turkey.

Then, I stuff the cavity of the turkey with the remaining herbs, the other onion, cut up, and one quartered orange.  These things also remain inside the turkey when roasting.

Place the turkey in the pot and add enough water to cover.  Add the sauteed veggies and the other orange, thinly sliced.

Cover and refridgerate...

I leave this in the fridge overnight.  I put it in the fridge at 1:30pm and will roast my turkey tomorrow morning at about 9am.  The longer you let your turkey the brine, the better, but give it at least 10-12 hours.

Once I remove the turkey I do the following:

*drain the turkey and allow to sit on the kitchen counter for an hour before placing in the oven.  It cooks better when its brought to room temperature before placing in hot oven.

*leave veggies and herbs inside the turkey...sometimes I add more!

*roast at 325ºF for however long your Turkey requires to roast...

*I cover my turkey while roasting, and remove the cover for the final hour of cook time so it can get brown.

*allow 20 minutes to rest before slicing!

AND DON'T FORGET TO INVITE THIS HOTTIE:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

In general I'm not a big fan of Jalice fics but I loved their story in the books.  SPOILER ALERT! I was sad that even though we got lots of Alice, the movie didn't really touch on the connection Alice and Jasper share especially with the lack of any reunion between them when Alice and Bella return from Italy.  For all that happens in the book NM, the description of their reunion at the airport through Bella's eyes still stiicks with me.  It's what draws me to Jasper in the first place. 

Not sure if these pics have been shared but I can't get over how effing adorable Jackson and Ashley are in these pics and I like to envision Jasper like this instead of the constipated form he has in the movie.  I especially adore that sweet kiss with his hand below her chin.

And here's a link to a video of the photo shoot.  They didn't have a link to embed.  Love the part where he bites her shouldter.
