Hellooo...?

Campfire was a little bit deserted last week! If anyone is interested in joining/rejoining/rerejoining, come on in!

Just to remind people what this campfire is for - it's a basic support campfire. We log in each week and let everyone know how our weight loss/fitness regimes are going. We share tips and ideas.

We're ever so friendly!

This week's challenge - we are constantly bombarded with pictures of celebrities and told how we're supposed to look. Which celebrities do you think look healthy? Come and post pictures. (mostly because I love looking at celebrity pics)

Hey guys, got another one. They never learn.

This time someone copied Chop and Change by krazyk85

Do the author a favor and report it please.

Stolen version

So to make this interactive, besides the obvious, let's talk about your favorite Bonnie and Clyde plot fics.

Got any good recs?

Eta: wow ya'll are fast! It's gone now.

I have no idea if these two discoveries today (new to me, at least) are cosmically related or just serendipitous in some way that I don't yet grasp, but - since it's FFA Friday time - I definitely wanted to get caught trying to pass this note, and will gladly share the following with the rest of the class:

This Bon Iver cover of I Can't Make You Love Me/Nick of Time is one of the best and most beautiful interpretations - by one artist of another - that I have ever heard.

And this description of Bella & Edward making love for the first time (or anyone making love for the first time) - in Secret Sex by erinbatt - is the sexiest, sweetest, most awkward, charming and perfectly-written description of young friends-to-lovers that I have yet found.

Anywhere. Any type of fiction. As in: 'raise a white flag from the keyboard for trying to top this one' good. (You have to read both the prologue and then the amazing Chapter 1, where the real goody is :)

So yeah... it's been 7 months since my wedding, and my husband and I have finally reached the financial stability necessary to book a honeymoon. WE'RE GOING TO LONDON! I've always wanted to go to Europe! Not only is this my honeymoon, this is a dream come true. We're going in July (14th - 21st), and I am literally counting the days til then. If we have some campers here who live in England, I would love some pointers on how to get around. 

I don't want to come off as rude, so what are things that I absolutely HAVE to know? 
Etiquette rules on tipping, hailing a cab, ect. What are some great restaurants that aren't extremely expensive. Is The London Eye really worth it? Great pubs? Ect. What the heck is smart casual?

We're staying at the Doubletree Westminster on John Islip. 

To those who have flown from the US before, what is it like flying over the Atlantic? I've had friends tell me that it's scary (lots of turbulence), while others said it's not that bad. 

p.s. If I don't respond to posts here, it's cause I'm at work :-)  

p.p.s. Happy Fiesta everyone! 

I guess you all know about this now http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/26/world/asia/bangladesh-building-collapse/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

To say it's horrible and heartbreaking would be an understatemnet..I'm terribly upset , I couldn't sleep that night when I saw the videos. and yes that's my home country . I can't believe the things I'm watching on TV...This is just terrible so terrible.This happened on Wednesday still there are people alive buried under the concrete. Say a little prayer for those souls please. They have found 306 deadbodies so far..

This CF is ranger approved.Thank you Capri ! 

As I look forward to moving once again (if someone finally stops running around knocking pears off the trees with his dick and makes a freaking decision on this promotion), I realize that all the things I used to collect are now gone. Somewhere along the way they got sold or given away because I needed either the money or the space. I can't even say I collect books anymore--I finally got tired of hauling them around and went almost completely digital.

I want to see your collections. Hummels? Action figures? Matchbooks? Bottles? Shot glasses, stamps, golf balls, salt 'n' pepper shakers, whatever. Tell me also if there's one piece in the collection that you prize above all the others, or if there's a Holy Grail you still haven't found.

Feel free to use this CF for any parenting questions you have. My question is about my oldest son going to college in August. He's going to a University that's known for it's partying ways. Although my son is very social he doesn't drink & he hates drug use. He's turned down going places because of drinking. My concern is that he's going to at some point try drinking & not have the support system available to watch his back. I'm I just too protective? Nervous? Being a helicopter parent? It's been ages since I was in that situation & the college girls of today scare the shit out of me.

This is what I'm afraid of, along with unprotected sex.

I have been stuck at home for the last few days due to a minor surgery and have to stay in during the weekend too. I have been out of fanfic loop for the last 1 year due to work pressure. My recent idle time got me to read The Cullen Legacy and like most people here I love it. I started reading twilight fanfic since 2009 so I  guess I am past the stage of 'omg Edward and Bella are having sex' stage! These days unless its a good plot and some awesome writing I lose patience with it. So please help me pass my time this weekend by reccing some fic similar too The Cullen Legacy. I don't mean similar in plot rather same mature writing with some angst and of course HEA. And yes it has to be complete please! I am already left hot and bothered with anticiptation of the upcoming TCL chapters *sigh

Does anyone know who this guy is?

I really do not follow celebrities. The only one I know about is Rob, and that is because I get information here.

Is this guy somebody you know about?

Fill this campfire up with pictures of unknown men that make expletives come out of your mouth when you see them. Maybe we can identify some people.

Because this guy made me spit my coffee and I don't even like tatts all that much!

F.F.F.A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(That's Friday Free For All, y'all!)

Post whatever non-supernatural-related campfires that you want until 6:00pm Eastern time on Sunday. No fic recs are necessary in any of these posts during FFA. Of course, supernatural type things are also welcome at any time.

Juno the rules- no nakeds on the front page. None of George Carlin's 7 words on the front page. No half-nekkid teenage Rob Pattinson modeling pics on any page. shudders. (not the good kind).

What kind of plans do you have this weekend? Anything fun? I'm having my new living room furniture delivered today (six weeks after I ordered it, thanks Ashley Furniture) and going out for drinks and grub tomorrow night with amigos.

I'm also watching music videos on youtube when I should clearly be doing work. Fridays are my work-from-home day, or as I like to call them- Sleep in late and then pretend you had modem/router/tech-y type problems and couldn't log in until late morning day.

One of my new favorite bands singing a catchy little song. Enjoy!

I'm so sorry I didn't get this posted earlier! 

BTW, thanks to Melissa Cullen for posting this last week!!

Something True » With too many secrets and a haunting past she'd love to forget, at seventeen, Bella is sure love doesn't exist. College dropout Edward Cullen can't seem to keep hold of love, or his music. A cottage, a lake, a tree, a muse, wrong choices, and heartache. How will these two cope with life and keep afloat? A daily word-prompt WitFit. Alternates between past and present. AH E/B

she's growing like a weed ;)

today is WTVOC's birthday!

oh, kris. here's a long sentimental speech that you would have to remove commas from.

you know exactly how i feel already...

we're one year closer to matching bowl haircuts, Benson & Hedges and lemonade, doll.

for those who don't know her well....

she's one of the most honest, moral, funny, articulate, fair and generous people i've ever known and have been lucky enough to leech on to.

Colin Firth's mom would probably disagree with most of that, and simply define her as the gal who objectifies her son all over the internet.

and she's a total letch for colin o'donoghue.

(kris, not firth's mom. or idk, maybe her, too)

anyway.

Please, come in, leave a present for wtvoc. she enjoys walks on the beach, the brits mentioned above, good music and fine scotch.

BACK THE HELL UP EDIT!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JANEWITHAY AND TLAMMY!

BOTH INSANELY AWESOME LADIES WHO ARE ALSO CELEBRATING THEIR BIRTHDAYS TODAY!

purple edit: you guys are awesome, thank you for the well-wishing! i had a gr9 bday and got marble cake with cookies n cream filling, so yeah. all in all, a good one. :)
