I've been following "Like a moth to a flame II"  I tried looking for part one, but it seems to have been taken down?  Would anyone possibly have the FIRST PART saved?  I'm kind of lost with reading some of the second part.  I would greatly appreciate it.  :)

My rec for today is not a happy one.  I kept seeing this story and put off reading it, thought it was not what I'd like to read. Well.......let  me tell you....I've had tears in my eyes and my heart is sooooooo broken reading this one.  I can take reading heavy angst, but this one takes the cake so far.  So here goes my rec for you if you want to go through a box of tissues...

Thanks to all a head of time for your help!! Later

WARNING: This WILL be a spoiler CF! If you haven’t seen the movie yet, enter at your own risk!

So, I really, REALLY wanted to start this campfire a week ago, after seeing The Avengers, but then my friend informed me that it was only being released in the US yesterday.

(BTW, my reaction to that was: Seriously? That is so cool! This has to be the first time EVER that I, a girl in South Africa, will get to see a major blockbuster before my American friends!)

So, now that it has officially been released in the US, WE CAN ALL DISCUSS!!!

Tell me about your experience! When did you see it? What did you like? What didn’t you like (and seriously, how did you find something you didn’t like??)?

Spam me with your favourite stills, gifs and vids of the movie, premieres or interviews. Or just general pretty images of THOR!! (Or any of the Avengers, really. Chris Hemsworth just rocks my world right now!)

(Oh, and I would once again like to thank the rangers for all of the pretty new tags they have provided! I especially <3 all the THOR tags...)

Now go and read this. It is short, it'll break your heart, it might make you fall in love with Edward all over again.

How was  Edward in the first years of his unlife? What did he retain of the shy teenager he had been? What happened to him to make him run away from Carlisle and Esme? Why did he think that God, if existed, hated him?

I am still overwhelmed by the insight of this little story. When you have read it, please come back here and tell me what you think. And no, the Twilight fandom is not expiring if there are still authors who can write like this.

Summary: This is the earliest story in my UE canon,written for the FAJD. In 1921,Edward left Carlisle to rebel. This is the catalyst to his departure. Ed's pov, featuring Carlisle, Esme & later Bella. o/t

ugh. ok i never make two campfire in the same day, and i realize we just recently had a rage campfire but i am absolutely LIVID right now and i just need to vent right now. 

that ok with everyone? 

thought so. 

this was my day today -

1. i took my 5 year old in for her yearly physical today. they do the normal stuff, height, weight, blood pressure and we are sitting there and this nurse comes and like "we've been keeping track of your daughter's weight and she's overweight have you considered putting her on a diet?" 

EXCUSE ME?!

this is my 5 year old - 

i am a firm believer that diet and five year old shouldn't even be in the same sentence (unless of course there is a serious weight issue, like the kid is over 100 pounds). plus the fact that the nurse giving me diet advice for a child is twice the size as my fat a$$. my child is healthy, active and i don't let my kids sit around and eat junk food, they don't get sweets, aren't allowed pop, and she prefers water to other drinks. let's just say the Dr had to come in and calm me down. i don't appreciate my small child hearing that's she's considered fat, lets at least wait until the teen years before giving her a complex, shall we?

2. i go to the hospital to visit a friend that had a baby yesterday. i am told by this rather rude old biddy that my children are not allowed past the lobby because the hospital doesn't allow visitors under the age of 14. this is the first i've ever heard of children not being allowed in (and i've been inside A LOT of hospitals) also, other friends have had babies at other hospitals and i took my kids to see them and it was not problem. "they spread infection and cause distractions."  i'm told. yes because only CHILDREN spread infections, never adults. adults are 100% germ free at all times. so i am bascially turned away from the hospital as a guest because i have children. lovely. 

3. its 11:10 pm right now and about 30 minutes ago i was happily dozing on the couch and i hear someone banging on my door. it's my neighbor. now, some quick background info; i live in a townhouse. it's 4 townhouses together, we share a backyard and a driveway. there are about 200 of these townhouses in my area. mostly filled with kids. my neighbor that just moved in a few months ago has a newborn son, and i *thought* him and his chick were cool because they are both covered in some awesome ink and have cool band stickers on their car. boy i was wrong. he has come over this late at night to inform me that my kids better stay the F out of "HIS" yard and "HIS" driveway because he's tired of the "mess" they make. he isn't "trying to be a d***" he says (though that's exactly what people say when they ARE being d***s) i poiltely informed him that all the kids from the surrounding apartments play in OUR yard, it's not just my kids. and he replies "we'll your kids are the only ones i see and you need to stop it." at this point, The Boy can sense my impending explosion of rage and starts pulling me away from  the door and i'm pretty sure neighbor boy could sense it because that was about the time he ended the conversation and walked away. i am certain he heard my profanity laced tirade through the door that The Boy was quickly shutting (i have a bit of a temper, especially when it comes to my kids) 

now i ask, what the HELL is wrong people?! please rage or make me laugh or whatever because my peaceful slumber has been RUDELY interrupted and i cannot get comfortable to save my life. 

thank you for your time. =D

Hello Campers!

I've had a crap week at work so I'm drowning my sorrows. I started with a Corona and to my delight found Margarita mixer in the back of the freezer and Tequila in the pantry.

Bratty Vamp used to start these great Let's Drink campfires but since she flounced and left us (might have put a bit too much tequila in the mix) I figured I would start one myself!

I'm posting from IPad and I don't know how to transfer pictures here on this thing or I would have a beautiful picture of a jumbo Margarita for you to see.

I don't have Margarita glasses so I poured the entire concoction into my insulated Starbucks cup and voila instant party!

Pull up a stool, belly up to your bar and share what you're drinking.

Robporn and Thorporn would be lovely as well!

(wise words edit care of eksmith - not a margarita, but I think it'll do.)

PART TWO

more pics here

In the meantime what do you think of how she looks? Excited that SWATH promo is starting aka SWATH is almost out!!

BAM.

P.S. in memory of MCA, one of my fav Beastie's songs -

So I'm looking for this story for about a week now and i can not find it although if i didn't have tons load of fic in my favs this would be alot easier anywho this is what i know

Bella and Alice are roommates and bff Edward is Alice brother.. Bella used to be a dancer but when she got sick... cancer i think she had to quit now she sneaks away and does it in secret... Edward is a painter who sneaks away to paint in secret to i think.. i not sure i may be totes crossing that with last tango in forks anyways Edward and Bella fall for each other and Bella gets sick again and her mom and dad find out she had been dancing in secret and get pissed... i totally remember at one point Bella's hair starts to fall out so she goes into the bathroom to cut it all off and Edward and Alice find her and they cut all their hair off too.

Ok so its Friday... Friday got to get down on Friday :) and i know i dnt have to leave a fic rec but I so feel like I need to leave one for you guys who will take your time to help me... thing is my cp is being difficult and i can not access ffn right now but what i can do is rec you to my new music obsession because this guy with his voice like an angel has just gotten himself a new fangirl in me

His name is Kevin Daniel

and the fact that he's cute too...  well that my dears is what we call bonus points

So in a few weeks is my grandmothers surprise birthday party (Shhhsss don't tell her) And I was picked to make the playlist. I have no idea what songs to put on it since my dad told me to take songs from her time and use them. So she is turning 80 so any songs until about 1970's should do it. 

I already got some songs and they may be out of the time range but I have some Frank Sinatra, Buttercup by the Foundations and Louis Armstrongs What a Wonderful World.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Do you ever come across a fanfiction story that leaves you wondering why it's fanfiction and not original fiction? High Fidelity is that story for me. It's so incredibly well-written, and well-rounded that I'm blown away. I actually feel honored and lucky to be able to read it for free. There are so many stories with thousands upon thousands of reviews that make me wonder... why? This one deserves every positive review it receives, and more. 

High Fidelity by IReen H

Edward is an unfeeling bastard. Bella gets caught up in his games. Language and lots of it. Lemons eventually. It's a slow burn, slow and painful. Mature. Lots of random pop culture references. AH, AU, ExB.

And come on, this summary does not do this story justice. 

Let's discuss the wonderfulness of this story, because you know you're reading it, and if you're not you should be! (And if you don't think it's so wonderful, let's discuss that, too.) 

Come in, come in. 

Well, one thing I never thought I'd hear in Snow White was praying...but I suppose that when a young girl goes into a creepy forest where trees liquify in black tar and there are all sort of creepy creatures...the girl would "say a little prayer"...

Without Further ado: 

Red Eyes Again!

Humans Blood?

:P

Aaaaaaand:

More Inside.

:)

I am so sad right now.

Adam Yauch, one-third of the pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, has died at the age of 48, Rolling Stone has learned. Yauch, also known as MCA, had been in treatment for cancer since 2009. The rapper was diagnosed in 2009 after discovering a tumor in his salivary gland.

Yauch sat out the Beastie Boys' induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, and his treatments delayed the release of the group's most recent album, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2. The Beastie Boys had not performed live since the summer of 2009, and Yauch's illness prevented the group from appearing in music videos for Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.

Yauch co-founded the Beastie Boys with Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz in 1979. The band started off as a hardcore punk group, but soon began experimenting with hip-hop. The band broke big with their first proper album, Licensed to Ill, in 1986, and further albums Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head and Ill Communication cemented the band as a true superstar act.

In addition to his career with the Beastie Boys, Yauch was heavily involved in the movement to free Tibet and co-organized the Tibetan Freedom Concerts of the late Nineties. In 2002, he launched the film production company Oscilloscope Laboratories.

I have two young kids.  They're 5 and 2.  And they make me laugh like nothing else.  They say the best things sometimes and it's hard not to laugh when they are so serious.  

I ran across this letter on the internet this morning and I couldn't help but bust up laughing.  It is THE best running away letter ever!

Come in here and share the awesome things your kids, or your grandkids, or nieces and nephews, or some kids you knew from that one place at one point in your life, say and do.  Post pictures of the evidence or whatever you wanna share.  Cuz they're stinkin' funny. :)

So this morning I opened my facebook to find a rather unflattering post that I didn't write. Brother dearest can a real...character.

Unlucky for him he never unmarked the "keep me logged in" option for his account in my second web browser ;p

Share your best hack stories that either happened to you, or were commited by you. And while we're sharing...I'm still considering posting more things on his wall. Any suggestions? ;D

Somewhat juvenile, I know, but bro has had it coming for a while....

Okay I've got a get together possibility that should rock your socks off. Atlanta. September 21st and 22nd(plenty of time to prepare). Midtown Festival! FooFighters. PearlJam. Florence and the Machine. Ludacris. Joan Jett. CivilTwilight. etc. I'm coming in from Charleston so tighten up your wigs cuz it's PAR-TAY TIME! I've got reservations at a hotel about six blocks from the park so, yeah, I'll be in the music zone. To make this interactive I want to hear from the talkers who say, "Let's get together." and turn them into the doers who say, " I'm there, girl. Let's meet up." And for those who aren't in the area tell me your concert stories. I want to hear if Sugar Britches saw Kristen Stewart at Coachella. Or OuterIsland's trip to Sasquatch! 2012. Anyone go to The Hangout Festival? I still regret not getting tickets to that one, next year for sure.  

So, in preparation for September....

So I have one of these

And some money that I received as a gift!  I'm so excited!

Could you please recommend some original fiction?  It can be something you've read or written!  Please tell me your favorite books!

The love of my life is marrying another

Kings of Leon Rocker Jared Followill is Getting Married!
May 02, 2012 02:55 PM EDT

Jared Followill, bass guitarist for the famous rock band Kings of Leon, proposed to his model girlfriend, Martha Patterson, back in April - and the word is finally getting out. Interestingly enough, before Martha, Jared dated Twilight star Ashley Greene; and before Jared, Martha dated pop star Joe Jonas who had also previously dated Ashley Greene. So just a tiny love square occurring between the four of them that makes for a fun fact.

Another somewhat surprising fact? Jared Followill and Martha Patterson started dating in January - so their engagement comes roughly three months after they made their relationship official. Jared proposed on April 11th with a custom designed, 4-carat ring, which Martha reportedly showed off at Coachella. Despite Coachella being 3 weeks ago, reports are barely coming out about their engagement which is awfully surprising as Hollywood is usually on top of things. Regardless of the almost month-long lag, the couple appears as happy as ever, and everyone should wish them a healthy, lengthy marriage - something else that is not very common in Hollywood. But good for both the rocker and his model fiancé, both seem to like staying out of the limelight, so that should help.

I looked at my list this morning and "Skin" has disappeared - I is sad. 

Anyone know what happened to it? 

To make this interactive - what stories have disapeared on you?  I generally wait until a fic is complete before I load it onto my NOOK, but now I'm wondering if I shouldnt wait?  What do you do?

What're you doing on Star Wars day (ie, today)?

Do you like Star Wars?

Original trilogy > New trilogy?

Star Wars gifs?

I'll be honest, I didn't get much sleep last night (dreams of dancing hot dogs *shudders*) and I'm stressed to the max, ergo I don't really know what this campfires for...but it's FFAF!! So this is just a bit of silliness really :)
