So yeah, I've been tweeting about it since last night. I cut TEN inches off my hair today and donated it! I'm ten inches lighter, and feeling gooooood :)

SO this is a pretty campfire. Post what things make you feel pretty and or beautiful.

Pics of the new haircut are inside. I'd love it if you'd pop in and take a look, maybe let me know what you think.

Hi everyone!

I was over at the All You Need is Love campfire and I noticed many of us are a bit bummed tonight. So I thought that maybe it would be nice if we all shared things that make us laugh, and see if we can make someone else crack a smile.

The idea is to just share something that makes you smile or even laugh out loud. I think in between all of us with our different tastes we should find a way to cheer up everybody that needs it.

I'm going to put mine inside.

ETA: Thanks to lovely Emibella who ok'd this for me!

I have a problem. I bought a book. It was recced to me based on what else I like to read. I started reading said book. I was kinda getting into the book. Then something terrible happened....TROLLS!!! The plot twist was that the main character is a freakin troll and didn't know it.

My question here is....Should I stick with this stupid book and keep reading and give it a chance? Should I just put this book down and walk away now? I am up in the air about this and need help.

Has this ever happened to anyone before? A silly plot twist that you didn't see coming that made you want to run and hide?

Let's talk

Hi - I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the story Stampede of a Thousand Pulses by ss10. The author pulled the story from FFN and it was on my to read list. Any help would be great. I looked at google docs and it's not included. I have pm'd the author but am not sure if I will get a response.

Thanks for any help.

DeeLovely and I were just discussing how much we miss having new pics of Rob to fawn over. Join us inside for more lovely outtakes. but give me a minute to get them posted...thank you to Setje @ pattinsonlife

Clicky to not make others sad...

But it's new to me.

http://crushable.com/entertainment/robert-pattinsons-crazy-art-balloon-already-fetching-over-1000-on-ebay/

Last May Robert Pattinson and a bunch of other celebrities sketched on these balloon outlines that were sold on ebay to benefit Parents and Abducted Children Together, from what I gather a European program like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (correct me if I'm wrong?)

This is Rob's and it's supposedly a self portrait...

I think it's... cute? Interesting? I'll give him an A for effort and generosity.

To make it interactive... discuss? Post other pieces of interesting artwork?

SOME PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER THIS RIGHT NOW.

The rules are simple....

Post: I NEED SOME LOVE (you can put why if you want, or you can just put that)

CAMPERS THEN RESPOND TO EVERYONE WHO POSTS THIS WITH WORDS OF LOVE. If you know them it can be specific, if you don't know them it can be a pretty picture or a song.

So Spread the love to EVERYONE WHO NEEDS/WANTS/WILL HAVE IT.

I am going to crawl in my hole now, you guys have fun!!! xoxoxo I love you all.

What do you want to do before you die, campers? Come in and share.

Smeyer's sparklepire?

True Blood's oddly placed fangs?

The Vampire Diaries...um...veins?

or buffy's bumpy faces?

or are there better vampires out there that i missed? feel free to include them!

I figured I'd start a feel-good Friday post and since it's almost Valentine's Day.  I was wondering....

Is there anything you're genuinely sorry about? 

So I am helping the ladies of TwiFic Pimps with their Facebook page and they are currently holding the Fanfic My Fanfic contest featuring some of the fandom's favorite stories. Please consider writing for it, it features our very own Rangers Jandco and WTVOC :)

Here is a link to the site if you need more information: http://fanficmyfanfic.blogspot.com/

Haven’t you ever read a fic and wanted the characters to live beyond the walls of the story? Now’s your chance to see it happen.

For this contest we’re asking people to come up with:

*Missing Moments

*Pasttakes or Futuretakes

*Alternate Endings

We are celebrating fanfic by asking you, the readers, to fanfic some of the most beloved stories in the Twific fandom. We have received the author's permission to offer the fics below for this contest.

Scotch, Gin & the New Girl by jandco & wtvoc

Paper Heart by Hezpixie

Wide Awake by AngstGoddess003

Hide & Drink by Savage

Tropic of Virgo by in.a.blue.bathrobe

So, write for Fanfic My Fanfic and go play in the story world of a fic you love. Think about aspects of the story that you want more of. It can be a missing moment that fits in seamlessly, or an alternate version that changes it up completely. Take the story wherever you want and fanfic these great fanfics.

We're accepting entries through Feb 24th.
 

To make this interactive, what other fanfics would you like to write a fanfic about?

Susan Sontag defined pure camp as "being something that strives for greatness but fails spectacularly" while contrived camp is "something that intentionally sets out to be bad and cannot, therefore, be as satisfying."

Do you think this is what happened with the Twilight movie franchise - that it went from pure camp to contrived camp?

Robert is SO earnest in his early interviews about hoping that they transcended the typical teen film genre, how hard him and kristen fought others to make sure they stayed true to their "vision." (don't laugh!....lol)

And as hot a mess as Twilight is, it's the only movie I can watch repeatedly out of the three. And maybe it's because back then they were striving for greatness, failed spectacularly, yet at least they went down in a blaze of spectacularly failed glory. The other two movies are more coherent and better made, but everyone knew what they were working with by then and dialed it in.

So what do you think? Do you think Twilight was the best of the series? Do you think maybe it's the best because it achieved pure camp as oppossed to being contrived camp?Do you like one of the other installments better? If so, why? 

For your time, Robert being too earnest for his own good about his role:

I love funny pics and gifs.

I had a bunch stored on my photobucket account.

Today I woke up to this e-mail: "Unfortunately your account has been banned because it violated our terms of service. These terms apply to both free and premium accounts."

WHAT THE F*CK!!! Yeah, so they deleted my entire account because I violated their tos. I did. I had some nude photos in it that I put there a year ago?!!?!?!?!. and they already deleted those. So why now???

As you can tell I pretty mad about this, but there's nothing I can do about it. Everything I had on there is just gone.

So I wanna know what online photo services you use.

And also I could really use some funny gifs to cheer me up and to create a new stock. 

I lost all my Barney gifs... *cries* and the kitty hugging a teddy. I had so many great ones

ETA: NSFW

that I'm so excited that I found out lastnight that the 6th and final book in the Earth's Children Series will be out on my birthday???

"The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel" will be out on March 29, 2011...

(yeah, I'm a dork...)

CBC News Reports 

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has resigned on the 18th day of anti-government protests, and handed over power to the military.

The historic announcement was made live on state TV by Vice-President Omar Suleiman at about 6 p.m. local time Friday.

"In these difficult circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave the position of the presidency," Suleiman said in a five-minute address translated into English. "He has commissioned the armed forces council to direct the issues of the state."

The announcement elicited wild cheers from protesters — hundreds of thousands of whom had deluged squares in at least three major cities Friday, and marched on presidential palaces and the state TV building, key symbols of the authoritarian regime.

Protesters jumped up and down in Cairo's Tahrir Square, chanting, "Egypt is free!," "God is great," "The people have brought down the regime."

Wow, it's been how long? 30 years? It was time. 

Tell me how you feel about this, I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings.

[Apologies if the song gets stuck in your brain!]

Since it's FFA, I thought I'd ask you guys to ponder and mayhaps solve some problems that have been befuddling my mind.

My first question is for mothers of three year olds [past, present] who have dealt with tantrums of EPIC proportions...

/My three year old has recently started going over to friends' homes. By friends, I mean neighbors [and my co-workers]. Now, I don't mind so much but she's overdoing it and I dont want her to become unwelcome. Also, when it's time to leave - she kicks up a huge fuss: screaming, crying, HITTING, BITING!! She refuses to come to her dad or me, instead clinging to my coworkers...but, she hardly even plays with the kids...she just wants to  be around people...but it's getting humiliating when she gets so crazy...HALP ME PLEASE!/

If you have questions, please partake in the asking inside.

Happy Place.

Got Josh Hartnett?

Share - pics, movie recs...whatevz.

Just saw Mozart and the whale. EVERYONE. WATCH IT.

I don't know if I can do this, but ...

Does anyone know what's going on with the TwiFicDatabase (google docs)?

It's been awhile since anything new was added.
