BATTLE OF THE SEXES, PART 1: An angry Bella leaves Edward at school to catch up with Jacob

Pattinson: I just don’t get that. I don’t get your decision-making process to leave here. I didn’t even understand it at the time. I was just like, “I gotta break up with you immediately.” [He's] like, “Please, please don’t go. Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, please.” And [she's] like, “Shut up. I’m gonna go with this guy who wants to cheat, who wants to sleep with me” or whatever.

Stewart: Whoa.

Pattinson: I just said the wrong word. “Who wants to kiss me, who wants to hold my hand.” [Laughs]

Stewart: Shut up… I mean, that’s the whole first argument that they had in the beginning is she’s allowed to have other relationships.

Pattinson: Why? No, she’s not allowed to have other relationships.

Stewart: And she knows him a way that you don’t know him…. It’s cool. It’s sweet that he’s being–

Bella’s greeted by the shirtless wolf pack.

Pattinson: Geez, if I ever saw my girlfriend go around to this bunch of guys’ house with all their little bellies out [Both laugh]… and their fake-tanned nipples and their iron-on tattoos.

Stewart: Edward is just a little bit more mature than you.

Pattinson: Mature?

Stewart: Yep.

Pattinson: Nah.

Stewart: He can handle it. He’s a little bit more secure.

Pattinson: Let me just ask you something… Did the weather affect shooting today? [Laughs]

Stewart: Let’s look at the wig. We can just judge by that

Remembering this campfire about Kimbra Hickey, the hand model used for the Twilight book cover had me thinking no one was as crazy about hand modeling as her. Until today...

So, I'm minding my own business and I open a Yahoo window and this article pops up. I have to say Ellen Sirot has Kimba Hickey beat by a mile in the odd department. This lady is crazy. It's hard to describe so you have to watch it for yourself but it's a great laugh.

A two-year-old "CBS Sunday Morning" interview with a woman who works as a leading hand model went viral over the weekend, with pop culture bloggers calling it "seriously creepy."

In 2008, "CBS Sunday Morning" interviewed top hand model Ellen Sirot, who makes a full-time living posing her perfect hands for ads for cleaning products, jewelry, even diapers. "I like to say my hands look good naked," Sirot says at the beginning of the interview, and goes on to gesticulate hypnotically and constantly caress and praise her hands ("They radiate health and good care") for the duration of the three-minute clip.

She also explains that she wears gloves 24/7, doesn't do housework or open windows or doors and that her hands haven't seen sunlight in fifteen years:

all right, look.  you work hard.  you're nice (most of the time).  it's okay to ask for stuff.

this is a campfire for gift giving.

if you have something to give, offer it.  gift certificates, paid LJ time, a tin of cookies, you name it.

if you want something, ask for it.  maybe another camper will give it to you, scott free!

we've done this before and i've been blown away by the response.  you guys are so generous!

it's simple: comment with either what you'd like or what you have to offer.  

if it involves your address or email, do it via PM, not in the campfire.  

come grant someone's wish!  come have your wish granted!

i know you guys are generous and are nothing but heart.  have fun, and i hope this makes you smile!

and you'll see what my christmas wish is inside the campfire.  it involves jandco, i'll tell you that much.  :D

Okay, I need to know what's normal for teens in the US to have as curfews when they are 17 and 18 years old but still in high school  Please share.  I was a teen in the 80's so I have no idea.  

Also Please tell me your best curfew story!  Mine is inside.

FYT some Rob and Tom.  Just ignore the ho's in the background!!

Okay.

Ask me stuff.

I'm just basking in the sun, lazing around, doing nothing.

Amuse me with your questions. 

EDITED TO ADD JANDCO. ASK HER STUFF, TOO.

So, Eclipse is now out on DVD (not a newsflash, I realize). Yay!! Right?  Apparently not.  I have noticed that with the release of the latest movie on DVD, the griping about the series seems to have increased.  I guess we all rushed out to by the DVD the first weekend it came out just so we could watch it and be all, "OMG, this movie sucks, I hate you, Twilight."  Well, all the negativity is bugging me.  Don't get me wrong, I'm the first person to admit that there are some major flaws with the series and the franchise.  We're all aware of the flaws, we've all discussed them over and over and over again.  Let me just reiterate that I do this, too (anyone that knows me knows the long list of grievances I have with Bella). 

The point of this post (yes, it has a point) is that we all became part of this fandom because there was something about the Twilight series that we loved.  Whether it's the characters, the plot, or Robert Pattinson's face, it got you involved.  And trust me, you don't get involved in a fandom if you truly hate the book or movie the fandom is based on. (For example, I read Wicked 'cause it was supposedly awesome and I absolutely hated it.  I have absolutely no inclination to read or write anything to do with the Elphaba and the TikToks.  It took a whole lot of persuading just to get me to see the play.)  So even if you started reading or writing fanfiction because you thought the characters were poorly developed, or the story didn't go where you wanted it to, my point is that you still cared enough to want to see more of it.

What I want from you all is to tell me what you love about Twilight and/or the Twi fandom. 

Here's what I love:

I love that SM wrote flawed characters that we still want to love even though some of their actions drive us crazy.

I love that Kristen Stewart told Catherine Hardwicke that this guy had to play Edward, thus plucking him from British actor obscurity so I could look at his pretty face all the time.

And I really love that this series has inspired so many awesome writers to write their own stories, creating a whole community of awesome people that have become my friends. Awww, sappy.

Okay, now share me your love!

No negativity allowed!!!! Take yo Debbie Downer elsewhere.

Do you write fan fiction?

Give us a little peek!

Hey There Campers!

Another Monday....

I know this is the first day of the work week for a lot of you, so you're hating it, but I LOVE Mondays, I've said it before.  I love a quiet house after a busy weekend...I get NO work done, it's my day off :)

Today is St. Nicholas Day!

My mom is German and the way we celebrated Christmas was very traditionally GERMAN, it was important to her that we keep her European traditions alive. When I was a kid we'd celebrate St. Nicholas day by putting a pair of boots by the front door and the next morning there'd be a treat inside--left by St. Nick!  You can read all about St. Nicholas here. I don't wanna fill the front page with history.

My 7yr old has been singing this song all weekend:

Wow. Hell of a party huh? Emibella really knows what she is doing.She is Esme-the perfect hostess.

Now-Let's have an after-party chat for those who are still standing.

What are you guilty pleasures?

mine is in the comments. Ignore her.

Hey everyone,

Since PTB is out of commission for the time being, I am in desperate need of a beta for my Vampella fic. It's not be posted yet, and I'd really like to work with someone starting at chapter one, if anyone has the time.

ranger edit: email removed!

Campers~ we ask that you do not publish your email addresses here.  Please utilize our handy-dandy PM feature.  It's awesome!

ok I'm so excited today I recieved one of those nook thing. I screamed I admit because I've been putting all these fics on my ipod and I guess my family got tired of me never having music on my ipod so I was blessed with this gift anyway I remember there was a post on here awhile back about fanfiction readers or something I just downloaded a program called Calibre I think and I guess that converts ebooks or pdf files to play on the readers. but does anyone know of a program that will save the fanfiction as a PDF or ebook? I I'm not sure if there is something out there like that but I want to be able to save the fics I read in that format so I can put them on my Nook to listen to on my commute and on my break. Any info would be greatly appreciated and I most likely will be asking for ppls favorite stories again I'm just excited to have been nooked.

Okay so I know everyone's dying down their weekend, but I just need to gush about a few of my favorites that I just started reading that everyone keeps on raving about!!

The Diva Diaries by KiyaRaven <<if you're not reading that, fuck you are missing OUT!!! It's beyond brilliant and I was like a a kid who found out there was no Santa when I realized after the last review I had left that it was the last chapter!! 

So i'm in DESPERATE need of an update :) :)

and next is denverpopcorn's Drift!!! Winter is coming and Mother Nature is gearing up to have us stay indoors and risk our lives to get supplies to stay out of the cold!! So snuggle up by the fire and read this AWESOME fic :)

Any opinions on these fics?! I know you ladies are constantly starting campfires about WIP fics that are owning you, so I just wanted to share my recent addictions :)

Just wondering if anyone else has watched the Kristen/ Rob commentary. I was super excited to see it on the DVD!!!! Everything that comes out of Rob's mouth is golden!!! Did anyone have a favorite part? For me, it was anytime Rob referred to Seth as " eh Boo Boo" !!!!!

So....I hurt my back. yeaaaah.

It was a very tragic umm, cliff diving accident.

I did not sprain it by bending down to get the wafflemaker this morning. No. I lead a much more fascinating life. (sarcasm is being heavily applied for those of unable to tell through your monitors}

Anyyywayyy. I am bed-ridden! How exciting. and have seem to misplaced reading list. So fic rec away!!!!

Here's what I want.

-happy go lucky

-humor

-e/b and canon characters

-no cliches

-humor

-romanceee.

-kinda a mix of everything. but no angst.

-short and cute

I prolly have more. But show me what you got!

and if you have none, please come in and entertain me. I am boooored.

A little rob for your time.

Is twilight anti-feminist?

Basically right now i'm sat here thinking of reasons why a Feminist view on Twilight would be a good research topic for my Sociology dissertation next year. (i have to do a presentation about it in lecture tomorrow) I'm trying to think of ways i can make myself seem less lame and that this subject is good enough to write about. Personally i thin k it is... i'm sure there are A LOT of issues to look at... however it's making others see this lol....

Any way! I figured I would see what you beautiful people thought about this issue! Most of you are female and most of you like the Twilight saga so it's relevant right? 

Is Bella anti-feminist?

Does she set a poor example to young girls that read the books?

Does Bella set a good example?

What about Leah and Rosalie and their issues with not having children? How do you feel Smeyer portrayed this? good? bad?

Is she giving us old fashioned sexist morals by making Bella the main cooker/cleaner for Charlie?

Any other feminist issues you can think of?

SMeyer has clearly come up against these claims often as she has spoke out about how Bella's situation is hardly realistic due to vamps and werewolves and what not so people shouldn't use her to set an example (as if that would stop young girls) But i do like her argument about it being a choice Bella CHOSE to get married and keep the baby (sort of she was kind of forced with the marriage thing) She believes that people stating Bella shouldn't of done these things are putting the restraints on females. Saying they CAN'T chose to be housewives does feminism no favours. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/bd_faq.html

"One of the weird things about modern feminism is that some feminists seem to be putting their own limits on women's choices. That feels backward to me. It's as if you can't choose a family on your own terms and still be considered a strong woman. How is that empowering? Are there rules about if, when, and how we love or marry and if, when, and how we have kids? Are there jobs we can and can't have in order to be a "real" feminist? To me, those limitations seem anti-feminist in basic principle."- Smeyer

Also what about it's impact outside of the actual content? How has it made an impact? Cathrine Hardwicke was one of the highest grossing female directors thanks to the first twilight movie. There's the success of a female author (though tbh that's common these days but still...) 

Zee awesome GAW said i could post this so thankies! *kisses*
