Any help would be much appreciated!

Saturday June 4, 2011 at 3:00 PM

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I used to write stuff on fanfiction, but during my exams I pulled all my fics off to do a load of work on them/ rewrite a few chapters. Halfway through this my computer crashed and all my word documents were lost, including my fics. I wondered if anyone had a copy of I Would Die For You by JasperRocksMYCottonSocks?? (my name was something like that, I gave up on remembering it when trying to log back in ages ago. Any help would be appreciated!! :) Thanks!

FireFrog - Firefly Fraggle Fun

Saturday June 4, 2011 at 1:49 PM

Ok so it's Fraggle AND Muppets but the alliteration was too fun to pass up. Sue me.

Hello all! It's been a min since I posted but a friend posted a link to this on FB (aka The Devil) and it was too great not to share.

An artist has created a Muppet and Fraggle reimagination of Firefly. Below are the pics that he did with all of them as well as the LINK to the original article.

I LOVE this! Even had to change the Booth shooting a clown avi to a Firefly one in honor of it.

         

I kinda love Woldorf and Statler as the "Hands of Blue" even though Jayne is my fav character.

For that whole interractive thing, tell me what you think, maybe your fav character, another Muppet crossover you like, your undying love for Firefly and all things Joss, idc just come say hi if you want. I'm not picky.

CALLING ALL BRITS

Saturday June 4, 2011 at 8:05 AM

Hey! I'm from Orlando, Florida and I have always dreamed about going to school in the UK. Now, that I'm going into my senior year I'm having to take a harder look at the schools and their entry requirements. I like the system there better (more specialized and independent) but I was wondering if anyone from or familiar with UK schools could give me some advice on which schools are worth applying to. I'm a good student (3.85 GPA in honors and AP classes) but not the best test taker (although I hear that's all they look at). So far, I've been looking at University of Edinburgh, Durham University, and University of York. 

I am looking at University of Vermont, University of Connecticut, and Boston University in America, if anyone knows of the UK equivalents that would be great. 

Also, i've been doing alot of research but its hard to get a guide or general information to the UK system here in America. If anyone has any MUST KNOW information or advice to going to school in Britain that would be much appreciated.

THANKS EVERYONE!

To Kindle or not to Kindle...

Saturday June 4, 2011 at 4:25 AM

I know, I know.

There has been alot of CF's on the subject of kindle's and e-readers, But...

my query doesn't quite fall into any of the previous questions (I don't think?!?)

 So here it is.

I am finally going to bite the bullet and get a kindle.

Reason being, I need a more portable way to read FFn (as my laptop is a 15"screen), also I have a load of Kindle books on my laptop, hence why I am going for a Kindle opposed with any other e-reader. (but if you do have a better suggestions, I am all ears, Just bare (sp?) in mind that I'm in England!).

Ok, so down to my actual query after the tedious pre-amble I'm sure.

Should I go for an original Kindle or the Kindle 3G?

What is the main difference? benefit? of the 3G?

ETA: also what can I/can't I do on the Kindle?

Thank you

Marilyn Monroe fascination?

Saturday June 4, 2011 at 1:13 AM

Recently there were a few articles on what would have been Marilyn Monroe's 85th birthday June 1. That got me thinking about the REALLY intense Marilyn Monroe fascination.

Female stars galore have wanted to be her, be like her, dress like her, breathe and speak like her, etc. And I've always been curious on why?

Is it because she was so daring and didn't care what people thought of her? (I don't want to get into her rumored personal affairs and checklists of what went on in the Oval Office and what not).

Do you really love Marilyn Monroe? Is she your Golden Age favorite actress, star, etc?

Birth Control!

Friday June 3, 2011 at 7:33 PM

Hi Lovely Ladies of the Forest!  Newbie here!

I have a pressing question that can only be asked here in the Forest! (on a Free For All Friday...right? If not, please feel free to delete!)

Does anyone here use a diaphragm for birth control? I've been on the Pill for 12 years, and I really want to get off of it...the diaphragm seems like the best option, but it's also kind of scary! Does it really work?! How do you....erm, get it in??

Help!

To make this even more interactive - if not the diaphgram, then what do you use, and why?

Thanks!!

Friday June 3, 2011 at 5:54 PM

Why aren't they any good anymore? Easy A was awesome and Sex Drive was okay... but other than that it's been too long since a good teen rom com. 

I miss when this guy ruled the world. 

and when the soundtracks were this awesome:

 

 
(this is wheatus- teenage dirt bag if it isnt working...)
 
I miss movies like these:
 
 
 
What was your favourite teen movie? 
 
Who was your movie star crush as a teen or tween? 
 
Which teen movie had your fave soundtrack? 
 
Any fic recs that have a similar feel to a teen rom com?

What Works

Friday June 3, 2011 at 4:02 PM

Tell me, Forest.

What works? 
 

Organizing, productivity, and time management experts say that the best source to figure out what to do is not to spend hours poring over and beating yourself up about what you do that doesn't work, but to focus on the things you do that are near foolproof and to carry those systems over into other aspects of your life. So tell me...what do you do that works?

Do you have a stellar system for managing fics you want to read? 
Is your bathroom always clean? 
Do you somehow find time every day to write or read?
Do you always get out the door on time despite having three small children and a slow-ass husband? 
Do you always remember your TPS cover sheet? 

Tell me what works for you--at home, online, at work, in life. Feel free to comment back to others about systems you share, and maybe pick up a tip or two from some other forest folk.

Big Hearts for Big Causes

Friday June 3, 2011 at 2:35 PM

So, we all know just how generous the Twilight fandom can be. I'm here to plug a special cause.

3 friends of mine from university are doing a sponsered run for the UK charity Kids - which works with disabled children, young people and their families. KIDS works with any disabled child or young person (from 0-25), irrespective of their impairment or condition, helping them to grow, develop and enjoy their childhood, whilst supporting their families to enable this to happen. Sadly the charity has had its funding cut, and may struggle to support these young people and their families in the future.

Essentially what my friends are doing is running around every Football League stadium in London in 1 day - this will take approximately 15 hours, including the time spent travelling by tube to each location.

If you get a moment, PLEASE check out this link:

http://www.justgiving.com/sam64m

I'm well aware of how generous the Twilight community can be. Even if you can't afford a donation, please can you spread the website address on twitter/tumblr/facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/3Spirit/201557739887300)

 

To make this interactive - Do you have a charity you'd like us to take a look at? Is there a cause which is particularly close to you? Have you ever taken part in a fundraiser like this? Ever done something like the Walk for Life? Got any pictures?

Thank you :)

To alter or not to alter?

Friday June 3, 2011 at 1:59 PM

OK...since it's Friday Free-For-All, I'm asking for help making a decision on something, a little odd, but whatever, lol...

My BFF's getting married on the 17th.  I have a cute black strapless cocktail dress to wear for it (I'm her witness/only attendant, she told me to pick a black dress I liked).  I had to get it taken in to fit me and I got it back today, stupid thing is still just a tiny bit too big.  I can take it back to the lady, however she works really inconvenient hours and due to some flooding in our location, she's got hours that are even more odd.  Plus, she's quite busy.

Do I bother taking the dress back to her to have it taken in less than 1/4 of an inch, or would trying to stick it to my bra with lingerie tape work?

To make this interactive, tell me about all your little tips and tricks to making yourself look your best on a special occasion!

Freaky Dreams

Friday June 3, 2011 at 1:19 PM

 

 

The other night I dreamt that I reached into my own mouth (of my own volition, mind you) and pulled out one molar on each side of my lower jaw with each hand simultaneously.  Of course I woke up in the middle of the night FREAKED THE (bleep!) OUT.  I actually reached into my mouth to make sure they were still there. 

I am still kinda shaken up by it.  I almost never remember dreams; I can only remember 8 in my whole life, including this one.  And here's the kicker - I have *NO IDEA* what this means!  I haven't been to my dentist lately, nor am I scared of dentists (I actually enjoy the dentist).  Any suggestions?

 

So my question to you:  What kind of odd or freaky dreams have you had lately?  Do you know what they mean?  Anyone want to take a shot explaining mine to me?
