                        Halloween Text Generator - http://www.halloweentext.com

howdy, campers. it's that time of year again!

click the "freecycling" tag to see what freecycles are all about. 

basically, you give stuff away. the stuff you don't want but don't know what to do with. to campers. without profit. 

this campfire is simply the announcement that we'll be doing this soon-ish, probably after the first week in october. 

this one's a little different, though. 

if you have halloween costumes- for you, for me, for kids, for others- then you'll list them.

if you need halloween costume stuff or accessories or whatever- then tell us! maybe you just need like... john lennon glasses. and maybe someone in maine has them and doesn't want/need them.

or maybe you want your kid to be harry potter and can't afford the fifty eight zillion dollars it costs to get the gear. well, someone around here probably has a harry potter costume set that'll fit your kid.

get it?

so, when the time comes, you'll post either: 

-what you have to give

or

-what you need to give your kid/yourself a good halloween

-and as always, the regular freecycle will commence.

so maybe use this campfire to ask for costume ideas or start throwing out what you might need. or hint what you have to give. just don't make any exchanges yet!

or maybe idk talk about the fact that the best horror movie in recent memory came out on blu-ray today- cabin in the woods!

Which Twilight Archetypes do you loathe?

Tuesday September 18, 2012 at 4:35 PM

ar·che·type [ahr-ki-tahyp] noun.
1. the original pattern or model from which all things of the same kind are copied or which they are based; a model or first form; prototype.

2. (in Jungian psychology) a collectively inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., universally present in individual psyches.

All right guys! Tell me what your most loathed character traits are! They can be canon or non-canon. Do you hate it when Carlisle is the father-figure? Always (convieniently) at the hospital (even human Carlisle, who should sleep)? Or how about Jasper always being the broody, yet sympathetic character? Esme always being the doting, emotionally needy mother? 

Vent! 

As for me: I cannot stand the MANIC PIXIE ALICE! It is not natural. To prove my point. please observe the video. If you had a friend like Alice, you would call the police! Admit it! I'm not necessarily talking about canon Alice... I'm talking about the way the fandom has taken her character and manipulated it into a bossy, kidnapping, fashion naz, with sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies.

I survived.......

Tuesday September 18, 2012 at 12:18 PM

Come on in and tell us your story of

SURVIVAL!

Did you survive.....

a Mudslide?

a Forest Fire?

Being robbed at gun point?

Cancer?

For example....

I survived....

Yes, that is what the state of Mississippi (where I live) looked like during Hurricane Katrina!

I'll tell my story inside! It will take me awhile to type it up!

I'm sure there are to others that were affected by this storm way worse (and I want to hear them) than I was but it was literally one the worst experiences of my life!

But I survived!

So please share your survival stories with me!

Thank you LJSummers for approval!

Even the thought of her getting a nomination sickens me.....

And the fact that the "odds" makers are even considering it , ugh!

(Yes, I edited out what I said before because really I didn't stress my point, and decided to change it.)

 

FIC REC:  Quiet Storm by SexylexiCullen      If you haven't read her Mobward stories yet....well you should!  This Mobward in my opinion is right up there next to Edward in EP....just sayin...it's a really good series.

 I am looking for a pulled fic by faerie kitten called "The last of my kind" it is the first in a trilogy. I would love it if someone had a copy. Is anyone else looking for a fic that seems to be lost from the Fanfiction world forever? I have only been looking for this one since April but I am sure alot of you have been looking for their evasive fic for a lot longer. How long is to long?

                                                       I HAVE THE 3 BOOKS OR TRILOGY BY FAERIKITTEN

                                                                             MY SEARCH IS COMPLETE

                                                            THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR GOOD ADVICE

Honey Boo Boo - love it? hate it?

Monday September 17, 2012 at 8:29 AM

OK, so a few weeks ago, wolvesnvamps (not wtvoc!) posted about this show and I was WHA????  I grew up in the South and have found myself defensive about Southern stereotyping on more than one occasion.  

But my curiosity was piqued, so I thought I'd take a little look and ... I got hooked.  Sigh.

I know a lot of people HATE this family, and think they're just about the worst thing to happen to TV in the history of television.  While I have to admit that there is a lot about the family that isn't admirable, I can't help liking them anyway.  I wasn't prepared for how MUCH I'd like them.  Despite everything they may or may not do that causes people to look down their noses at them, this family obviously loves each other and have very close bonds.  

So, do you watch the show?  Do you hate it?  Do you love it?  Tell us about it!

 

(LOL, ok Rob!  Who put you here?) (wnv did! Rob loves honey boo boo child!)

 

(Thank you to the lovely WTVOC for giving me permission to post this!  :-D )

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week. The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy.

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum. If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name.

So come on in and see who won the crown this week!

Private Jet?

Monday September 17, 2012 at 3:57 AM

 

 

Robert Pattinson seems to be the more important star of the Twilight franchise.

The actor will travel around the world on a private jet to promote their final film while his ex Kristen Stewart will be travelling first class on commercial flights.

Producers are allegedly so keen to keep the two stars apart that Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, will sit next to Pattinson to answer questions from the press.

A source at global distributors Summit Entertainment told the Daily Star Sunday: “Kristen is now viewed as a wild card whose reputation might affect any of the red carpet events being planned.”

As well as attending premieres and press conferences the cast are also expected to go to a series of Twilight extravaganzas in America.

The studio’s plans seem to put an end to rumours that Robert and Kristen have patched up their differences and reunited.

A source said: “Given the relationship problems between Robert and Kristen, it has been decided they should travel separately.

“While I’m sure the media and maybe even some fans might want to see an emotional outburst, we most definitely do not.”
 

http://entertainment.stv.tv/showbiz/190409-robert-pattinson-gets-the-private-jet-treatment/

 

It seems that you can believe whatever you want to in this mess.  Still "sources" mysteriously supplied the info but as this is a logistics issue for the promo junket, it may be common knowledge.  I doubt Summit explained why Rob gets the private jet, though.

Recommend:

Letters to Corporal Masen  A girl starts writing a lonely soldier during WWII.

This is written by Solostintwilight, the gal who wrote Amishward.  Her research on the subject is manifested by "history lessons" in the Author Notes.  (And you thought my historical AN's were long!)

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart reconciliation details: The inside scoop

"John Stewart, Kristen’s dad, can take most of the credit for the reconciliation between Kristen and Rob.

According to the British newspaper, The Sun, Kristen Stewart’s father, John, went to Reese Witherspoon’s ranch where Robert Pattinson had been staying since she split, and begged Rob to patch things up with his daughter."

(If you're interested, full article here.)

 

I dunno guys, what do you think?  Do you believe it?  This "report" is showing up everywhere today.  Maybe Lainey was right after all?  Or is this "PR romance back on until the BD2 premiere and then THAR SHE BLOWS?"  Hmmmmm?

Happy Sunday!

Sunday September 16, 2012 at 9:38 AM

So what is everyone doing on this fine Sunday?  What plans do you have for your day?

Me?  I finally finished my first knitting project!  Many, many thanks to everyone who pointed me to Ravelry, where I found this pattern.  What an amazing site.  And double thanks to MissRebecca for suggesting turning to YouTube when I ran into something I didn't know.  My 10 yr old son is very pleased with his fish hat.  (Our cat, Merlin, "helped" from start to finish -- by eating  yarn and unraveling stitches on more than one occasion, grrr.)

My next project (which I will likely do for myself, in shades of pink and purple no less!):

I also started a new fic for the first time in ... well, a long time.  Yesterday I was in the mood for a feel-good fic and finally settled on Do Over, by TKegl.  I'm loving it.  It's Christmas-themed, which I'd failed to take into account, but that's actually making me pretty happy.  

Again, what are your plans for the day?  Are you working on a project, spending time with family, reading a good book, or cooking an excellent meal?  Come in and tell us all about it!   Er, and if you're reading or cooking something good, share recs and/or recipes please :-)

I wish I had computer skillzzz

Saturday September 15, 2012 at 6:26 PM

So frustrated.

I was thinking about how I really do not like the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice version.

I love him, and I have seen all his movies.

He just doesn't appeal to me.

Plus, the Jane in that version is a bit crossed eyed...it distracts me.

I tried to see how I could watch other versions of the movie...which led to downloading something..which led to 45 minutes of mayhem on my computer.

 

What do you guys use when you want to watch a movie online? Netflix sucks...never has anything I want to see.

Where can I get access to the BBC Masterpiece Austen versions? The site seems to just have clips.

Is there anyway to watch movies like this online??

DON'T try this at home No really Don't do it

Saturday September 15, 2012 at 1:28 PM

Have you ever been in a pinch and thought...hey, I bet I could use this.  I don't see why not.  Yeah.  We've all done it.  

Ever put the wrong soap in the dishwasher?

 

Or try to substitute an ingredient in a recipe with disastrous results?  

 

Or you know, try Nads without really thinking through the process...

 

 
Or do something pitifully stupid while intoxicated or under the influence of adolescence?

I was going to post that one disastrous butt fireworks video but, for one, it's no good for the front page, and, for two, I decided it disturbs me too much that I just can't inflict it on you even in the comments and you've probably seen it anyway so we'll just leave it at that.

Yeah, so anyway.  I am out of razers.  I need to go to the store but I haven't had the time with starting my new job and all.  After I took my shower this morning, I put on a tank top because it's fracking hot here and I realized that my armpits were a little scary.  I could wear a tee shirt but who wants to do that when it's 100 degrees?  So.  My husband is on a hunting trip and he left his electric razer.  Why not?  Right?  Ugh.  I don't know what I did but I must have pressed too hard or something because now I have what amounts to rug burn in my armpits.  It hurts.  And itches.  And it burns.  And I still have to wear a tee shirt.  And who knows how long it's going to take to heal?  There's probably a warning that came with it that says never to ever use it on your armpits or something.

And I'm not posting a picture of my burned pits.  You're welcome.

Anyway, please come inside and share your stories or post ones you've seen on the good ol' internet so we can laugh at sympathize with each other.  

I'll be over here with my arms akimbo.  For a few days.  "Why, yes, Dr. Smith.  I'd love to give a treatise on the research process for your Historiography class.  Don't mind my elbows.  I find I have more academic clout if I stand this way..."

It's Saturday, and I'm looking for something to do that will allow me to avoid my massive school reading list... so let's play a game!

Here's how it goes: hit us with your favourite song lyric and a photo clue, and see who can guess what song it came from. Mine will be in the comments.
