No...I'm not talking about the kind of beef this precious munchkin is gnawing on...

I'm talking about...

Beef [beef] noun
Slang . to complain; grumble. A feud between friends, family members, enemies or gangs.

I've had some 'beef' with a friend for a while. So yesterday I put on those big girl panties and made an attempt to deal with it and...yeah. I'm taking those panties back to the store for a refund! Lol

Do you have some 'beef' in your life that you feel like letting off some steam about? Feel free to ask for advice, or even just get it off your chest.

More about my beef inside...

Anyone completely forget this started up again last night? 

Yeah, me too.

Until about an hour ago.

I missed this show a lot, and after watching last nights episode, I'm so excited for the new season.

Come chat about the show; tell me who you ship, or spam me with gifs.

Ukraine-France is on right now.

The match was delayed for like a year because of crazy weather and flooding.

The England match should be on right now, but it's delayed waiting for this match to end.

You should check out my friend's blog if you like football. (link at top)

OR COME IN HERE AND TALK ENGLAND-SWEDEN NOW.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

POST, LINK AND DISCUSS TODAYS UPDATES!!

OMG you guys

I was just browsing the web when I came across THIS

Sooo....The Dallas Reboot.

Any takers on this one?  Dallas was a staple on Friday nights in my house when I was a kid, Bobby's Dream, Pam is dead, maybe, and of course the unforgettable Who Shot JR?

Has anyone watched the new show yet?  I still think Bobby Ewing is hot.  He was always my favorite.  Although I was always partial to Sue Ellen's boytoy Peter aka Christopher Atkins.

Who is your favorite Ewing or other Dallas resident?  New show or Old?

freeforall weekend is on

do:

-post whatever you wanna talk about

-make your campfire interactive

-feed a tree as long as you're here

don't:

-curse on the front page

-post n00dz on the front page

-personally attack anyone

-add a recommendation (unless you want to)

now, let's talk summer plans in this campfire, now that schoolyears seem to be ending for most. (my kids don't get out until wednesday D: )

got any plans for the next few months? what do you usually do during the summer? summer movies you wanna see? 

here's a hint as to what i'm doing come august:

Today I find out if I've passed my second year at university. Those of you who know me, are aware that I've had to resit this year, and that I'm nervous as anything.

I have no idea when I'll find out, only that it's today. So far, I have scanned my b&w negatives, filled a banner request, and now I'm attempting to finish knitting this baby cardigan (not for me lol) before I write some more of my Phantom of the Opera/Love Never Dies oneshot. And it's only 2.30pm.

So, what I would like to know, is how do you kill time?

How do you deal with a long wait?

Do you read? Watch films? 

This is basically because I need more ideas lol.

Now, Fridays might sometimes start all gloomy, because you know the weekend is within your grasp, but you still need to make it through an entire work day before you reach it!

Luckily, I have just what you need to kick-start your day!

You’re VERY welcome, ladies!

To make this interactive:

What can turn your sour mood happy in an instant? Link me vids, gifs, pics, blogs, stories… whatever gets you in a happy mood!

Also, let me know which nationality in the above video was your favourite ;) (thanks to rote_kirsche for this idea!) I have to admit the guys in the subway (especially dazzling male #1) made my smile just a little bit bigger… LOL!

(Oh, and yes, Chris Hemsworth is my man, so if you wanna make me happy, post extra pics/gifs of him ;P)

Hey Ladies,

I know there have been a lot of changes over at FF.net lately, but one thing I've noted that has me a little puzzled is that I can't seem to find the story ID numbers. As you know, you need these in order to download via FLAG. Does anyone know where I can find these. I just discovered this today when I went to convert the story below (which just happens to be my rec)

(PS: As many times as I've tried, I can NOT seem to figure out how to "link" my recommendations. I hope that doesn't preclude this campfire from  being posted.)

The Golden Giants Tour by Walkingwithgiants
"Three months," he kept going in his deep voice. "You'll probably never be able to do this again." Three months, three continents, sweaty nights, an uncomfortable bed, ten men, a girl, and a bus. Bella Swan should have known better than to say yes.

QUESS WHAT UPDATED! I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SAW IT POP UP IN MY EMAIL. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST FANFICTION I ADDED TO MY FAVORITES. I STARTED READING IT ON TWILIGHTED THEN REALIZED THERE WERE MORE CHAPTERS UP OVER ON FF.NET

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4538729/1/Hiding_in_Plain_Sight

Bella is a witness in peril. Emmett Cullen is the deputy assigned to protect her. When the witness protection program isn't safe, Emmett asks Bella to pose as his brother Edward's fiancée until the trial. AU, AH, ExB

IT HAS BEEN SO WORTH THE WAIT! THANK YOU LIMONA!

I'm looking for a fic that im afraid has been pulled - what i remember iiis - jacob imprinted on bella (while this is going on i remember him holding her in the water while the sun set and then he dropped her on purpose which he found hilarious)  aand .. Edward meets her and falls in love with her (pretty sure he creeped on her room) and then .. well .. she leaves Jacob for Edward and Edward says something like; He would die for you, but he wouldn't stand and burn in the fire for you like I would.  

Then spoiler alert, Jacob makes Edward kill him in a bizarre fight.

this is little to go on - but any takers?

reccomendation would be le this 

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7074757/18/Six_Weeks - a fic with out summary but it is ADORABLE AND SEXY!

The Give Away Girl by MrsSpaceCowboy

Honor student Bella Swan has mastered the arts...of manipulating her divorced parents, rolling the perfect joint, and faking an orgasm. Who wouldn't want to keep a girl like her? An unconventional coming of age tale for Gen Xer Bella. 

WIP I found last night ... I just love the 90's music scene anyway and well there is alot of reference to Pearl Jam and quite a few others.  Just had to pimp it right away 

POST, LINK AND DISCUSS TODAY'S UPDATES!!

Happy Summer Campers!

Each summer here in Pittsburgh we anxiously await the arrival of Anthrocon.  Thousands of "Furries" descend upon the city and provide hours of entertainment and plenty of morning radio show fodder.  At lunch today, my co-workers and I are heading out to catch a glimpse of the Furries roaming the streets of the 'Burgh. 

Some dress in full "fursuits," others in just ears and tails.  The convention consists of seminars including topics such as: Are You a Werewolf?, Fursuit Care and Maintenance Basics, How to be a Demon--Perfomance for Darker Characters, Eufurria (I'm curious as to what this one is), Feet and Legs, and many, many more!

There are always rumours and stories about interaction with the furries, including kinky sex games and drinking water from bowls in restaurants. 

Are there any campers who know anything about the Furries?  Do you know any Furries?  Are YOU a Furry?  If you were a Furry, what would you be?

BONDFIRE TIME.

The Day in the Life contest was so much fun, but you know what?!

I MISSED A TON OF IT.

Darn busy life is busy these days, but I finally have a day here to catch up with the forest and I want to make it extra fun!

So here's what's gonna happen:

Show me your places and spaces.

 Gardens, computer area, favourite breakfast nook...etc.

Pictures and/or videos.  

Whatever you want.  

Consider this a little like A DiTL "light".  

Don't worry about mess or clutter or anything like that.  

It's just for fun - not MTV.

(that being said...the first person to post a bed shot with a "this is where the magic happens" caption gets brownie points from me, jsyk)

Post, snoop, comment, bond!

POST AWAY CAMPERS!

I'm personally 100% against all things boycott and petition of FFn but still found this interesting:

The Book Burning That Wasn't: Thousands of Works of Fiction Destroyed and No One Pays Attention

(Also, is it becoming obvious I do little but click Twitter links all day?)

What got to me most was this:

As authors they have very little right to their work. The real anger seems to come from the enforcement of ostensibly black and white rules in a world governed by grey areas.

These unpaid authors are at the mercy of the sites willing to house their work and as such must adhere to the lines drawn in the very murky sand of copyright law. Some of these authors spent months writing and editing novel length works to then have them deleted entirely, as if they were something with no artistic or cultural worth; artefacts that either follow the rules or don't.

Because I'd agree that's where a lot of the frustration comes in here. It's pretty much impossible to deny that the majority of the fics pulled broke some rule or another—arbitrary or not—but for over 60,000 works to just disappear? All those hours, all that work, all that creativity, and it seems like the world couldn't care less? I don't blame FFn in any way for enforcing their rules as a private site, but when you take a step back and view it as a statement about our cultural worth?

Ugh. Depressing.

Thoughts, discussion, gifs of Robert Downey Jr. Get in here and make my day, campers.

I'm slightly embarrassed to be asking this.  But WTH do you mean by this when it is posted?  LOL   I am thinking you want us to poke on things help feed the forest.   But ummm is there only one ad on the site at the top?  Do I only have to do it once ?   I see no other things to poke and no other way to 'feed the trees'    I'll feed them if I know how! What do I do?      LOL!!!!!!  Helps please!

I think my post is interactive as it is a question about ADF and asking how to help it.  If not interactive enough Ii'll edit to add more and add a rec if need be..  TIA!
