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

(I haven't linked all of the past campfires this time, but if you click on the previous campfires, you'll find that all the links are still there)

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?

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has a copy of Could Be Worse Right? I'd love a copy.

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!!

THIS IS WEEK 10/40 - Quarter of the way there!

Hey Ladies!  Sorry I was MIA last week thanks again Denny for taking over, still in the process of collecting results so chart will be up probably late Sat/early Sun.  Hope you all had an awesome week!  Do anything exciting over the Memorial Weekend? <For those who have served in the military we thank you.>

Homework:  How do you cut cravings?

Also its never too late to join in. ; )

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?

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, first I want to say HI!

I am looking for pregnant bella fics where Edward is NOT the father. Not biologically or  pseudo-father.  Im getting tired of Edward/Bella.

Also ive been looking for Bella's Secret by Cullen818 and can't find it, if anyone can help please do.

so i'm super late to the party. 
i just got netflix four days ago, and i need y'all's help. 

what's on your instant queue that needs to be on mine?

idk i only have weird stuff FYT so.... here?

This video made me laugh and brought up a great point:

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. 

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:

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 :)

Another June cover for Mr. Sex on a stick. Interview. Also prob NSFW, there a bit of nip in one or two photos.

More inside. I love him, that is all.

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!

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?

Tell me the funniest misheard lyrics! Or embed videos of the same. Like this:

So a couple of weeks ago my dear friend xlavendermoonx convinced me to join this website.

Only, hehe, I only have one friend, and wondered if any of you guys could help me out by adding me so I can get more good reading tips. :) My screenname is same as here. EDIT omg I just realized it isn't. But I'll add you! :)

Also, anyone by any chance have any recs about unreciprocated love? I don't think i've ever stumbled across any and I'm in the mood for some. Thanks!

*ugh, i cannot believe i'm pimping anything to do with this movie. i must be drunk.

So I'm spending my evening buying a darkroom bag & developing/fixing chemicals, a developing tank plus other assorted items so I will be able to develope my own film that comes out of my Holga 120N camera. 

I modified it (with a lot of black electrical tape & sponge) to be able to carry 35mm film as it's used to 120.

This is my hobbie; film photography. But I'd say I take it pretty seriously. I've even made a little bit of money off of it (a tiny...TINY amount like quids worth) but still :), and I spent most of the first year of college holed up in a dark room xD.

These are a few of my photos:

So what are your hobbies? Show me what you do :) (fanfiction doesn't count lol)
