I'm as right handed as it goes, but my daughter's left-handed. We took this test and omg they're right

Comments in the, er, comments

Every time I hear the live version of  "Someone like you" by Adele, I imagine an angst filled Bella/Edward story (with a HEA, of course!). Hopefully, one of you talented writers in ADF will be inspired to write one, or will you? My question is:

Has a song text, singer, band, or music video ever inspired a whole story outline, or is music more an inspiration for the mood in a story?

FYI--- for any Jane Eyre fans the 2011 version is available on iTunes. The DVD will be released on Tuesday,

 

so far I am liking the new version, though I am a fool for most period dramas...

I had an idea of casting movie stars from Hollywood's Golden Age in Twilight parts. I picture:

Esme - Olivia De Havilland or Rita Hayworth

Rosalie - Jane Russell or Vivien Leigh (blond of course)

Alice - Audrey Hepburn

Bella - ? can't come up with anyone

Would you like to join in? I haven't come up with any ideas for the male leads...

Does anybody else watch this show? 

What did you think about the finale?

What did you think of the winner of Season 8? (For people who have not seen the finale, there will be spoilers).

 

Talk about SYTYCD here... your favorite dancers, favorite performances, anything!

 

My favorite dance of the whole season:

 

JUST EPIC

Hi! I just wanted to ask if anyone has a copy of Emancipation Proclamation by Kharizzmatik? It's one of my favorite stories but the author pulled it out. I really loved it and I can't imagine not being able to come back and read it over and over.

Please? Anyone? :)

How important are the first couple of chapters to you when you start reading a story? Do you give up easily if you don't like them, or do you skim through to see if it gets more interesting? Any stories that captivated you from the first couple of chapters all through the end?

My favorite first chapter is from Ultio, because of my sick obsession with Edwardian angst. In fact it'd made such a strong impression on me I kept on skimming through the story, even though it followed a completely different path (horror) compared to what I'd expected/hoped for.

Honorable mention NOT AN UPDATE, PEOPLE:

Has anybody else been watching the 90's block of television on TeenNick? Last night I finally stayed up late enough to watch Clarissa Explains it all! But, before that came on I watched All That and Keenan and Kel. I went to bed before Doug though. Do you have fond memories of these shows? Are you glad TeenNick brought them back? Do you have other 90's favorites that you wish they would air?

 Looking for a copy of  " In fear and Faith" By Strae. It wasn't complete. It was like 33 chapter in.

Tell me, how many of you have been in a wedding, whether as the bride or bridesmaids?

 

I ask because my sister has finally decided to get married.  I love the dress she picked for herself, but hate the one she picked for the rest of us.  Normally, it wouldn't be a problem if I was just entering my 20's and my chest didn't come with it's own zip code.

 

Here's the Bride's dress: 

 

Here's what she wants for us:

 

Not that it is any better, but here's what I wanted her to check out:

 

 

My other sister has no problem with the dress, but she is the type that is comfortable flashing her boobs, I'm not. I'm am the biggest sister right now and would not, I repeat, would not look good in the dress.  It doesn't help that my annoying uncle stuck his nose into it and wormed his way into the wedding party as well.  Of course, she'd listen to him...grrr...

 

 

Any advice??

I know I need to lose weight...and be proud, I lost 20 pounds!!! (of course, i have also been sick).  I just don't want to have a moment where I look back and cry at how horrible I looked, as my mom often does when she see herself in pictures....

 

 

Thanks for listening...

 

Hi pretty ladies. How was your week? I hope good.

Today question is:

How many minutes/hours you dedicate to be active? It can be a small walk to the park with the dog, doing groceries, taking the kids to a friends house... anything that is keeping you active and it is not an actual exercise.

 

Happy week loves!!

 

WHO'S EXCITED?????

 

 

DISCUSS ALL THINGS TVD HERE.

 

 

I am suffering from Jamie Fraser withdrawal.  I finished book 7 of the Outlander series a couple of months ago and am a sad bunny.  The next book in the series won't be released for at least one more, probably two more, years.  "The Scottish Prisoner" (a new installment in another series by Diana Gabaldon, a spin-off of the original story) is being released in November, but I'm not sure that reading about a gay Englishman lusting after Jamie Fraser will make me as happy as reading about the ongoing Jamie/Claire love story and the story of their family.  In fact, I'm sure it won't.  But who am I kidding?  I will completely cave in and buy the book which, no doubt, is why Gabaldon wrote this particular Lord John book as being 1/2 Jamie's story to begin with. 

So have you read the Outlander series and, if not, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  Does the "paranormal" aspect of these stories (i.e. the time travel aspect) qualify it for discussion on non-FFA days in the forest, similar to HP, Vampire Diaries, etc?  (I'm thinking no, but am like a 5-year old and must test the limits).  Have you ever gotten your hands on a man in a kilt?  Would it have killed SM to include a Scottish vampire in a kilt in the Twilight series?? 

 

ETA:  If you haven't already read the series, or at least not all of it, be warned that there are major SPOILERS ahead.

 

(This last one is very "Fabio" but I couldn't bring myself to delete it.  The horse is nice, yes?)

I can't remember if this is allowed or not. If not, please pretend this never happened...

I've posted a new story - my first in the Twilight fandom - and would love it if you could waste a few minutes and check it out. Five chapters are currently up, with more in the works to be posted in the next several days. I'm planning on updating at least once a week until the story is finished (it won't be a long one). 

Here are the links to this story on FFN.net and Twilighted. Please let me know what you think!

So 100 Monkeys is playing House of Blues Anaheim 27 August.  Anyone going to this?

  I have only listened to a little bit of their music but it's a sound I like and my friends say they are good live so I am thinking of going.  Also during the day HOB is having Beerpalooza.   I have a season pass to Disneyland and I have always wanted to go and get drunk so I am thinking of making this a day, but I don't want to booze and rock out by myself and I don't think any of my friends can so I thought I'd shoot this into the random people web.

Also anyone who has been to their shows is the VIP sound Check party worth it? 

Hey everyone! I need help.. again. ;P

Okay so in this story, Edward is a EMT but he had to do some training with the fire company. I remember Bella living in an apartment and she accidently sprayed Mike with Pepper Spray and he got an allergic reaction from it and Edward and his part had to come and take him to the hospital when they were on call. It takes place in Seattle. Bella has a hard time deciding whether she should be with Edward or not. Obviously, they do end up together and there's some really great lemons in it lol. I know it's no longer up because the author took all her stories down (creys) but if anyone has a PDF file of it, could they let me know! I would love to read it again, and maybe some of her other stories I never got the chance to read!

Thanks guys!

Another brilliant chapter.

What did you think about it?

I teach a writing class twice a week for students who are pursuing their GED'S. I try to make class interesting and fun by coming up with  lesson plans that I think they will enjoy. The majority of my students hate to write. They always start the bitching and moaning with the question, "how long does it have to be?" I always answer the same way, "I could care less about the length as long as you use proper grammar and don't bore me."

This was a lesson they actually enjoyed. I thought perhaps campers here would like to respond to this prompt:

A: If your life was a movie what songs and music would you select for the soundtrack? Why?

OR

B: Pick one song that best describes your life at this moment.
