I'm looking for... a story. I know! I'm sorry! *begs for forgivness*

Sadly I don't remember the title or the author, but I remember the details.

Edward is an Angel. I'm pretty sure he's the angel of death and he was sent to "collect" Bella. Buttt... he falls in love and then there's a whole lot of drama to go along with that. Alice and Jasper are in there too, and they don't wear shoes. At the end some angry Heaven people come to kill Edward but some miracle happens and him and Bella both get to stay alive. I'm pretty sure they're separated or Edward begins a new life.... the end is kind of foggy. They find each other at the very end.

Ringing any bells?

In my defense it was an amazing story. I just have no idea why I disposed of it.

This is one of my favorite all-time movies. Has anyone else seen it? 

Repo! The Genetic Opera Official Website

If you have, your thoughts/comments/favorite scenes?

As a gift, I leave you with the brilliance of Anthony Stewart Head:

Legal Assassin on YouTube

This campfire is NOT to rehash the discussion's from yesterday's pull-to-publish issues.  I was conversing with various campers who have opinions on both sides of the fence on this issue. (and no, I'm not naming names, duh...)

But there is an issue that was brought to my  attention by more than one individual that got me thinking and it actually kept me up most of the night.  Am I sensitive? Maybe.

To save space, it's inside.

Some say they're overrated, some say they're underrated.

Soo. What do you think?

COLDPLAY- Simply amazing, or just hyped-up?

Oh, and also, to make it more interactive, post the lyrics of at least one song of theirs that you like. Or tell us which song you don't like, or do love. Or whatever. I'm drunk now. 

Please comment, cause otherwise, I'm just being a drunk fool. :)

I'm a Jasper h00r. ;)

I'm looking for some good fic with a great Jasper. Can you help me out?

What's your favorite Jasper fic?

Here's what I'm looking for:

Can be J/E or J/B.

I'm a sucker for some good UST

Bad boy/troubled Jasper would be pretty good too or just f*uckhot 

But most importantly PLOT!! I need good plot and not porn in EVERY chapter.

Please and thank you

Hey all you campers out there...I want to vent ANND ask.. (hopfully I can post this still?? )

So WIP ~ how do you feel feel about reading them?? For/against/either way a good fic is a good fic... If you write do you want readers to take part and offer you feedback as you go? If people read your fic after it's been completed, do you still get their reviews?

My comments are inside...

Also, my hubby went and got me Eclipse the other day on his way home from work b/c the stupid store was all sold out when I tried to pick it up. He's awesome!! :)

SO, you guys.

I've finally started reading The Hunger Games, after much pimpage from you all.

And... I finally read the back cover. There's praise from Stephen King, which I thought was a neat little coincidence seein' as I'm also currently reading "The Stand."

He calls it "a violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense...I couldn't stop reading."

Then, beneath that, I read...

"I was so obsessed with this book..... The Hunger Games is amazing."—Stephenie Meyer

Oh, SM... such a way with words.

Do you feel any are missing?

Are you shaking your head?

RANGER EDIT-we put the top 50 in the comments

Ok, my first post in a really long time, I couldn't post because I didn't know about the "compatability view."  WOOT! (mucho love to Ranger JennyFly!

So yeah, who watched the WINTER CLASSIC tonight?

LET'S TALK Hockey and give the MEN WITH BIIIIG STICKS a round!

And I can't remember the name of it to save my life.  I've been searching for it for weeks, because I didn't want to have to bother all y'all with it, but it's making me a little crazy, so I thought, "What the heck?  Might as well.."

It starts out with Bella talking with her father about how they are to always help those less fortunate than they.  They serve at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter for the Christmas holiday.  While there that first Christmas, she sees a mom with several boys.  They're in used clothing, but they seem to be a loving and happy family.  She still can't keep her eyes off of one of them.  He gets up to play the piano for some Christmas hymns, but she never gets to talk to him and then he's gone.

Then Charlie dies and somehow she comes to live with the Cullens.  She's melancholy around the holidays and asks if she can serve at a soup kitchen, because it makes her feel close to Charlie.  It becomes her yearly tradition. 

Somehow at the end of the one-shot, she meets Edward again, but she can't figure out where she's seen him before.  It turns out he's the boy from that first Christmas at the soup kitchen.

Thanks for indulging my obsessive-compulsive habits.  :o)

I would like to use the opportunity of free posting and to let you know about the story “Habits of a Day” by Natalone09. It is a dark, intriguing, emotional story, written in a surprising way. You see things happening, but you do not know why and what to expect. The answers are pieced together bit by bit. The storytelling is concise and evocative. It is one of my favorite stories. I am very glad that I have found it and I hope that it will attract more attention.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6326321/1/Habits_of_a_day

Summary: Two people live in a house, avoiding the world, each for different reasons. A man with special habits in the morning. A woman with the strength to face difference. Compromise or fate? AH, Short chapters, a little dark. Adult themes. E&B, Angst/Romance, Rated: M

" 'Edward is back,' he said. He had obviously guessed for whom my main concern was.

'So, he is alive...'  'Still' was the word that would appropriately finish my completely unnecessary conclusion, but I didn't let that slip."     

If not, you should be!

Summary:

One kiss sparks the clues, but what do they all mean? Bella dreams of her future self, knowing the life she lives ends in tragedy. How can she change her story when she already knows the ending? The door is there, but where is the key? AH, ExB, Rated M.

Happy New Years, darling campers! Mine's has been delightful so far. I have attended four cocktail parties, two of which were hosted by my social-gathering-crazed mommy.

My day has left me tired. But not sleepy tired. And there's only ONE thing I want to do right now.

Read. Fic.

You guys are always the first people I turn to when all hope is gone.

So please.

I want something . . . forbidden-esque. Hot.  I BEG YOU

-E/B

-Mature and citrussy

- UST OMG I AM AN UST WHORE!!!! I LOOOVEEE ME SOME GOOD UST!!!!!

-well-written

-preferably something we haven't all read a thousand times. I don't know, something a bit different. It doesn't matter, but I'm just saying :)

Thank you.

TONGUE ALERT *points downwards*

I just finished the first book of the series. I thought it was great but I have a problem...

I need answers badly!

Is there anyone in the forest willing to help?

I want spoilers. I will still read the books but I just can't take that much heartfail.

I will post in the comments the question that I really want answered but please feel free to discuss the series in here as well.

I think it is great so far. Disagree? Let me know. Agree? Let's talk!

Right now:

Is anyone else excited about getting to worship at the alter of OPRAH 24/7?  Seriously the woman is an American Dream personified I wish they could bottle a fraction of her success and market it. 

Have you seen any of the line up previews?

I am most excited about this:  Mainly for Sidney Poitier who I think is crazy awesome and inspirational  (and who was my college graduation speaker, I got to serve him breakfast that day le sigh). 

Am I the only person ready to drink the kool aid like a faithful follower???

I want to thank everyone who helped me pass the time on the 29th by suggesting super wonderful fics to read as I was stranded at the airport.

(We were supposed to arrive at BWI at 1 pm that day -- didn't get to our hotel room until 2 am on the 30th!  I read a bunch of stuff, thank you very much.)

I had a great time in Baltimore and while it was cold, it wasn't too bad and my Layers and Gloves and scarf kept me fairly comfortable.

My son was happy that his school (UCF) won the Liberty Bowl.

And... I was actually able to post my first chapter of my new fic, Parma High, at about 12.30 am this morning. :)

It isn't a historical AH... it's a Teacher AH.  It's B&E and the regular cast of characters.

Here's the banner.I

Here's the interactive part.  I have a hard time keeping up with responding to reviews left on my stories.  FF.net doesn't make it easy. I have a hard time remembering with which post I left off.  How do you guys keep that organized?  I would like to do a better job in responding to the people who are kind enough to leave reviews.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart pose with a fan on Friday (December 31) on the Isle of Wight, England.

Hattie Bury posted the pic on her Facebook page after spotting the couple with some pals.

“My friend went up and spoke to Kristen who seemed shocked,” she wrote. “Probably because they seem to have grabbed no attention what-so-ever so a couple of overly grinning fans wasn’t the first wish she had for New Year.”

Last year, the Twilight stars also rang in the New Year on the island, which is off the south coast of England and about 80 miles from Rob’s family home in London.
