Stupidity.

I, err, succumb to it quite a lot.

My Dad frequently says to me "What do they teach you at that University? Because it sure ain't common sense."

My most recent spell of stupidity is in the comments.

I want to hear about your stupid moments.

We can laugh.

And we can tease.

And just generally realise that we're all just a little dumb sometimes!

Hi Campers!

Okay, I received The Mortal Instruments series as a Christmas gift, and am currently on Book Two: City of Ashes.

I love the imagery, and most of the characters, especially Simon.

Anyhoo, after finding out the books are now being made into movies, it got me contemplating the selection of Jace.

Lily Collins has already been cast as Clary, which I think really works. But no word on Jace yet.

(She really needs to do something about those eyebrows).

There are rumours of this dude being a favourite:

Which, ngl, fills me with dread.

However, fans of the series seem to be rooting for this guy:

Who I think looks good... I'm just not convinced by his acting talents (don't hurt me Silver Sniper).

I, personally, like the look of this guy, although he may be a little too old:

If you read the series, my question to you is this: who is your Jace?

Post pics, discuss, look at pretty faces, whatever.

How do I use twitter? I've made my account. I've added a few people. I've even tweeted some. But, I really don't get what the snuffleuppagus I'm doing.

Halp?

Also, share any interesting stuff you know about twitter and such.

eta:

I am CranberryShades on twitter..no points for originality, there! Tell me your twitters and we'll all follow eachother?

I wanna know all of you and what's going on in your wonderful minds.

Also, thanks emibella <3

Should my main character get?  She's not a girly girl so I was thinking the pisces.  It also goes along with the theme of the book.  But the star one is so pretty.  Do you think the pisces is weird to put on a hip?? I appreciate any input from the resident experts.

NEW OUTTAKES, I'LL PUT THE REST INSIDE. (HE'S SMOKING IN MOST OF THEM SO IF THAT OFFENDS YOU, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SKIP THIS POST)

So the title says it all really. This is about negative reviews.

I just got one, the second one this persons sent me I think tbh, and I'm feeling a little down.

(lol I typed in sad face, how sad is this little boy!)

Personally, I like them, when they're done correctly. I like someone saying, 'this could have been better' or 'I don't agree with this' because it will either help my writing in the future or give me a chance to back up my story, you know?

I'm sure we've all had those reviews too, that are just written to be horrible, and you wonder why the hell anyone bothered to even review.

So I want to know you best-negative review and your worst. PLUS your BEST review EVER, just to make us all feel a little better about ourselves too :)

Also, how do you deal with bad reviews? What do you do to pep yourself back up?

Mine'll be in the comments.

Christmas. It's amazing. Giving, celebrating, being with family... What more could you want?

But, let me tell you, it's gets absolutely EXHAUSTING.

I'm from a big family. Bigger than most, I'd say. On my mom's side, I've got...9 aunts and uncles (one is deceased, unfortunately) and eleven first cousins and one first cousin-in-law (and then I have three younger sisters, as well.). HUGE FAMILY. We celebrated with them from the 24th to the 26th. It was amazing, don't get me wrong - seeing as most of my mom's brothers and sister have left our hometown to become extremely wealthy - and I got to see some of my relatives that I haven't seen since...can't even remember.

Now, I'm celebrating with my dad's side tomorrow. At our house. Yay. Cleaning all day and making polite conversation all night about my first semester of university.

Does anyone else get tired of Christmas?

I gotta say, I'm completely over answering "How's school going?" "What're you even in school for?" "What job will that get you?" "Do you like it?" "Is it hard?" "How'd exams go?"

I want to just make a big announcement every time we start our family gatherings, just so I can brood about Christmas in peace.

OKAY, the plan for today was simple:

- Sleep in

- Watch Arsenal- Chelsea (and shower at half time)

- Go to friend's house for dinner

HOW COULD THIS GO WRONG? you ask.

my life is more than any mere mortal can dream up. not more better or more worse. just MORE.

come inside to read my tale of woe and post something of your own.

Hi everyone.  I've never posted here before but I have been lurking off and on.Today I found myslef in a spot where I jhust need someone to understand. If I tell me husband he'll think I'm nuts..... Issue is that many of my fav fics are just gone!  Here I am thinking that what I really want is to go back and reread on or two of them and I discover that they are gone!  So sad!  I know there are a couple that have been altered and turned into real novels (yay for the authors!!!!!) but other have just disappeared and I'm super bummed.  I don't re-read things often so I kinda feel like someone stole my cookie! Or worse in the case, my favorite Edwards.....

Anyway thingk you all for listening

IRRITABLE GRIZZLY ADAMS

has updated!!!!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4542110/30/

Let's all read and the meet up back here to fawn over it, yes?

Ok everyone... it's been awhile since we've had an update (and since I've even been in the Forest...), but tonight's update gave us some hot, angry Edward!  Come inside and discuss with me if you're reading this story!

I haven't made a campfire in soooooo long...I kinda miss it...So anyways I want to know what book/books you are reading right now....or if you haven't picked up a book in a year(s) because ff runs your life the last book you read....

I just finished reading this finally

I am now reading this...which is really interesting so far..Im about halfway through

And I am a few chapter into this book...

So tell me...what are you reading...I am trying to find some good things to read :)

Is anybody else reading this??? Right now, it is completely owning me...in a good way.

So this post is off topic but i really need ur help.

Does any one used to watch lois and clark the new adventure of superman, bec i really want to wach it online, and i can't find it, so if anyone know a link or a site that i can watch it that allo watchers outside of US, plz help me, i am dying to watch it, thanks

Alrighty. I'm sure we've all had this problem...

 You want to read fanfic... but at the same time, you don't...

You want to read something light and fluffy, but you also want to read something dark and angsty...

Let's put it this way:

I'm feeling conflicted about whether to read more fic or not. Nothing has really jumped out at me lately, and with The Plan being completed, I'm not quite sure what to read next, or whether to read something else at all.

So tell me--when you've felt exhausted with the fic world, did you take a break? Were you able to come back refreshed?

Or did you search for that fic that pulled you back into the fandom?

Also, if you DID find that fic, which one was it? Was it even from the Twilight Fandom? Harry Potter?

Please help me get my mojo back!

But I'm looking for a particular fic.

Yes, yes I am.

It's AU.  Bella is assaulted in the woods near the Cullen home at some point after NM and before BD.  The Cullens rally around her, of course, but Renée is horrible about it. Bella feels guilty because she orgasmed even though it was rape. (A revolting but technical possibility.)  Rose goes all power sister and gives Renée what for and the Cullen women are just amazing.

Does anyone know of this story?  I can't find it. :-(  

Still can't believe I'm doing this!

EDIT: FOUND BY BOOKLUVR_BELLA!  

Thanks, too, to u2ugly2nv who found it too!  AWESOME, folks! :) 

So, I'm new and tech challenged so, please be nice.  First of all HI!!!! :D

See the date on your onscreen clock?, yeah is that time of the year, that one in which days pass by in tranquility and peace, those in which people think in doing nothing.  Yeah, but not for me, I'm working on writing the final document of my graduation project, meaning my thesis...(which is due on January 13th)

So, not much fun or lazy days for me...anyway...since I'm here most of the day, procrastinating and wondering WTF to write in this document, I was thinking why not ask the wonderful people of the forest for some recs?...but hey! not any kind of rec, I have a craving...I want pregnant Bella fics...don't ask me why because I don't know (maybe is my biological clock telling me something or maybe is my mother LOL), but that's what I want to read.  I'm not really picky...I love Edward of course, but as far as the baby is not Jacob's or is named Nessie, it's find.  I LOVE AH fics, but you can surprise me with some AU.

Do you have something for me?

Thanks!!
