Greetings, children of the forest. And a happy, happy thanksgiving to you all! Speaking of which, I had a water baloon fight and instead of filling the baloons with water, I filled it with cranberry sauce. Mmmm. Things got sticky.

Anyway.

So, as you may already know, they are showing The Godfather on channel...I forget. I just watched the first movie and it thrilled me, so to speak.

But the thing with me is that whenever I am, say, thrilled by one thing or another, I immediately connect to Twilight or the fandom somehow. (does anyone else do this?) Such as, watching Bones makes me think of wtvoc. Drinking lemongrass tea makes me think of The Lost Boys. And the very mentioning of unicorns has me giggling over certain aspects in Wide Awake. (I'm sure you know which ones ;D)

The Godfather reminded of the last mafia-related fics I've read and I realize, it's not at all that many.

It has me craving me for more hot Mobward.

So, if any of you could take the time to quench my thirst with a mob-related, E/B romance story like Emancipation Proclamation, The Sacrifical Lamb and it's sequel or There Will Be Blood it would be very helpful.

Something well-written, logical, hot . . . I guess if you have read the stories above, you know what I'm talking about. :)

Thank you.

For the last couple of days, I've been thinking of a topic for my RobPorn picspam campfire. I missed last week's, because I was just crazy busy, for which I apologize.

Anyway, I was still trying to come up with something fun and catchy, when I got a PM from kagen_mo. I'll copy-paste her message here, so you'll get the idea. Thnx, girl!

So, I just logged back on to my computer to send you this PM, because the events made me think of you! I have a photo file that plays as my screen saver. Today, the first 5 pictures that came up were Rob, with his left hand in his hair. I giggled out loud, and thought of your Rob picspam campfires. If you're ever desperate for a "topic" to guide the post, I think something almost off the wall like that could be amusing. But now that I think about it, if I have 5 pics like that, I am sure there are tons! 

I agree. So let's all dig through our folders and post pics of Rob with one or both of his hands in his hair.

FYT

Am I the only one who hasn't seen this?  I went back pages and pages and didn't see this yet.  I love this little sneak peek!!!

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!  And think.... feathers.  But not the turkey kind!

happy thanksgiving, ADF!

we here in the forest want to wish you a warm and turkey-ey thanksgiving.  the forest is thankful for classy campers like you, jumping swimshorts rob memes, scabior, and deep fried turkey.

have a safe holiday, don't end up in the hospital, and come back to the forest when you're done with family tension.  it's still free-for-all, we wanna see your campfires!

enjoy your day, and report back to me tomorrow with the special black friday deals you managed to beat out of a person's cold, dead hand score.

as a gift from me to you, i invite you to check this out and use it well.  it'll add significantly to your holiday enjoyment!

love from all of us at the forest, especially your own-

dirty uncle wtvoc

As some of you may or may not know, I sometimes do a little modelling. Haven't done much in a while, but last night I did a hairstylist show. This means that a renowned hairstylist gives a sort of lecture on the new styles and trends and shows these on a stage. I was one of the models and thus got a new cut and color.

This was my hair a couple of weeks ago (I'm the one on the left in the pink shirt).

And this is the way it looked after last night's show (the pic on the right also shows the hairstylist).

I'm still getting used to the length (it's pretty short by my standards) and how to style it, but so far I like it.

What do you guys think?

And to make this campfire interactive: show us your hair. Do you like it, would you make changes to it? What kind of hairstyles do you like in general? Or on the Twi-actors?

I liked Rob's old, wild locks, but the new, shorter coiffe also has its merits. For Kristen, I prefer her with darker hair, or the two-tone she was sporting in 2008.

You're free to discuss the other actors as well, of course, but I'm a Robsten girl at heart :p

Best looks for both:

And of course my fav: VF 2008.

Although... I'm liking the BD pics that have been leaking, too. They look healthy, canon and in love, so that's all good in my book :)

I am still up-long story but I am not going to sleep because we have to leave early and it will be just better to nap later. It's been a long weird night.

I like Robert in this picture. I haven't been loving him lately-too boring and very LA. But this picture takes me right back to that special place. ;) Let's discuss our best memories of Robert-pictures, personal experiences, favorite movie moments, cute quotes, awkward moments, drunken nights, TomStu bonding-anything and everything is welcome here.

Hey guys!! SO i have a question...

i was recently talking with a friend about all things sexy related....and she made a point of telling me that my expierences were...how do i say...ahem...permscious?

at this point im all WHAAA??? nooooooo not compared to people i go to school with (im a 3rd year university student) and shes all NO totally i agree its different where you are.

and that got me thinking. why is permiscuity so widely accepted at university? encouraged almost. Almost like youre not getting the full effect if you dont throw yourself out there.

Does anyone else have this problem...or even SEE it as a problem?

discuss :)

Hi Campers,

I come to you with a heavy heart tonight, and I am sorry for the topic and that it's right before a holiday, but it's hitting me hard and I wanted some insight from one place that always makes me happy.

An old friend that I spent most of my teenage years with committed suicide last night. I hadn't seen this person in almost 10 years, mostly because life got complicated. Everyone from our "group", grew up, got married, got full time jobs, had kids. I didn't even send an occasional facebook comment to him because he didn't have a page. But when I heard about this, I could do nothing but sit down and cry because it seems like yesterday that he was making me laugh hysterically at an impression he had done, or held my hand when I freaked out after watching The Blair Witch Project in the theater with him. 

The more I talked to people who knew him (our friends and my family), I kept getting different reactions. Most people are sad of course and feel guilty no one took the time to help him. Other people are angry at him for doing this to his family and his 3 year old little girl. I am just so confused as to what happened. I have a lot of experience with suicide, as I am a survivor of it myself. Maybe that is why this is bothering me. So I want to ask you this:

How do you feel about suicide? Would you feel anger towards someone who had taken their life? Would circumstances matter? Do you consider suicide victims to be selfish? Have you had any experience from yourself or someone you know almost committing suicide or actually succeeding? If this last question is too personal, please feel free to skip it. I am just trying to make sense of this and see if other people have felt what I am feeling. 

And like I said, I am a suicide survivor and I am not offended or ashamed. I welcome any comments or questions. Thanks!

RANGER NOTE:

This campfire was previously deleted without Ranger permission, but thanfully JOHN'S diligence and hard work has recovered it.

Look... this is hot button topic, but it quickly turned into an interesting discussion.  RACISM SUCKS.  And ignoring it, sweeping it under the rug, DELETING CAMPFIRES, does nothing to promote forward thinking behavior.  The point of any 'racism discussion' is to open minds and to help people see that PERHAPS, their viewpoint can be broadened.  For this reason, we have decided to repost the campfire.

CAMPERS-- IF FOR ANY REASON YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DELETE A CAMPFIRE THAT YOU POSTED, PLEASE CONTACT A RANGER FIRST!  PEOPLE PUT THOUGHT AND TIME INTO THEIR COMMENTS AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO THEM TO HAVE THEIR COMMENTS ERASED...JUST BECAUSE. 

THANK YOU.

I'm back with another debate. This one is going to be a little more intense.

RULES:

1. No personal attacks.

2. Be aware of the fact that ADF is a diverse site, with many different people from different countries and backgrounds.

3. Be polite when you state your opinion.

4. Be polite when you disagree with someone else's opinion.

All-in-all, don't be rude or mean. We're just discussing, not attacking.

This is a touchy subject, but a very good thing to discuss, in my opinion.

Racism.

Even though everyone is equal now, it still exists. It doesn't occur as often as it did before, but it's still out there. I know plenty of racists, in fact.

Rememeber the rules, people. The rules. If you're being incredibly rude, I'll delete your comments, and probably report you to a ranger.

This subject is too touchy to be taken lightly. I'll be crackin' the whip on anyone that steps outta line. Ya hear?

Lettuce discuss racism.

I am looking for everyone's favorite bitchy wolf fics...Leah doesn't necessarily have to be a wolf..it can be AH also...I am not picky when it comes to this woman!

I have however already read Confessions of a Difficult Woman, Hair of the Dog and Revenge Cake...and a few others..and a bunch of awesome one shots....I would go fic diving myself but that shizz is scary..you should never go fic diving alone...always have a buddy...

Anyways give em up

Here is some pretty girl for you!

Tell me YOUR hell for the holiday!

i want to read some post-DH harry potter fanfic

i've tried doing a random ficdive, and it's just not a good idea. the harry potter fandom is way bigger than twilight, and i'm overwhelmed.

anyone got any good recs for me?  i'm very much interested in a good post-deathlyhallows fic, but i'll take recs on other stuff with caution.  i think i need to start off in a basic way before i figure out whether i'm a snermione shipper or not. and don't forget to provide links.

also, don't rec me any scabior/hermione fic, please.  i'm not ready for that yet, either.

however.... inexplicably sexy scabior fyt:

let's have a love post! just comment below and your fellow campers will tell us what they love about you! or just tell us what you're loving right now, if you want

it's fun. it's positive. it's a great way to play with your friends and get to make some new ones!

gifs, songs and pics are all welcome too. please join in everyone. i don't want to be lonely here :)

It's just come to my attention that many, if not most, statements about Thanksgiving and/or the statuses of turkeys can be construed in multiple ways.

I think I am correct in assuming that a good majority of us are pervs.

Give me your WORST dirty sounding Thanksgiving/turkey/poultry sentence/innuendo/whatever.

Examples: "It's too dry."  "Stuff it in more."  "This leg is soooo hot."  

Warning: There will be multiple sexual innuendos and possible swearing within this hot beast... I hope.

To follow the profound and engaging post on racisim below, I bring you a shallow and thought-free campfire.  Pics of Rob emoting.  With a side of smolder.

More outtakes from this photoshoot after the cut.   

I'm looking for a really good Vampella fiction to read. The only one I've read so far is Guarding Edward by katmom, and while I think its cute, I'm looking for something more adult.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Vampire Bella is a must.

Mature or Adult rated stories only please.

No Jacob fics...

Angst, smut, and fluff a must.

If you have any suggestions please post them. I'm dying for something new to read.
