Musical Instruments

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 7:45 PM

So, I was watching 10 Simple Rules and Bridgett wanted to learn to play an instrument so she comes back with a set of drums (they were the only thing they had in pink). That got me thinking of how much I always wanted to learn the drums and the violin. Well, the next day a coworker started telling my about the piano class she is taking there on campus.


I didn’t know the college I work at has night classes for many instruments, including the ones I want. So I am taking this as a huge sign that it is time to learn, but I am nervous I’m 28 isn’t that too old to start?


Come tell me what you play, how or when you learned, what you wish you could play or what you are learning right now…
Post pictures and videos of you or your loved ones playing.


I know there’s tons of talent at the forest, come show off.


…I also have a question about sheet music that I will post inside.

What is the name and where is this fic?

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 7:41 PM

It was like The Office but way different. Bella was Edward's executive assistant but they had never really flirted but they have a really good and friendly relationship and respect each other. One day after work when they were leaving the building and he felt her up in the elevator. She didn't say anything and went home. He apartment building happens to be across from the Masen Corporation building and her apartment is level with Edward's office and she gives him a peep show nightly while he sits in the dark smoking and giving her signals with the cherry end of the cigarette.

The start a relationship afterhours and come out to Masen Sr. real soon and Bella is simply transferred to the CFO Emmett as his assistant so they can continue dating.

Any ideas? I can't remember the title at all and those are the only parts I do remember clearly.

THE DRESS

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 1:01 PM

I just came across this article about the wedding dress for Breaking Dawn.

Link here.

I feel nervous.  Will this be like  THE ring?  According to KStew in the article it will probably be SM's decision.

 

 

 

Are you nervous too? Discuss.

OMG my first campfire too. I didn't get approval but it is Twilight related. I hope I don't accidentally burn something down.

Headgear

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 12:29 PM

As much as I like to look at Rob's hair, sometimes the addition of a beanie or a hat just adds that little bit extra...

So, this week, the focus of this campfire is

Rob's headgear

You know how we roll, so let's roll!

HUMPDAY GAMES

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 9:23 AM

 

Photobucket

This week’s game: Free-style Fic Association
 

Provide a word, phrase or image with a specific fic in mind. Everyone else will list which fic your word/phrase/image reminds them of and why. Let’s see who thinks what when it comes to fic. After a while, tell us which fic you were thinking of! Not as structured as some past weeks, but I feel like free stylin’ today a bit. Must be the Santa Ana winds!
 

Example #1:

You post the image 

Yasmina2005 says some random slash fic because maybe Jasper ate cookies off Edward’s chest while they both wore red thongs (and, well, because she usually mentions slash)

Jazzy-Cullen and I both say MoTU (well, because we usually do)

Midsouthmama says “Wide Awake” (well, because she is usually smart like that)

You announce that you were thinking of the fic “Wide Awake”

Then we all laugh and have fun (because we usually do).  Come join in the free-stylin' fun!

Special thanks to Capricorn75 for stickage (the game changed a little, hope that's okay ;))


My first entry inside.

Platonic Canon Family Moments

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 9:06 AM

There are times when action, adventure and romance can be vastly overstimulating.

There are readers who sometimes want to just...enjoy life as a Canon Cullen.

There are fics out there that cater to this need.  They are the platonic (non-romantic) fics that show interactions between the family members.  Daddy Edward and his daughter, Renesmee, telling stories.  Jasper and Alice having a sweet moment.  Really, any of them can interact with one another.

I know I've seen fics like this out there...have you?  If so, please share them here!  

My recs will be within.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your contributions to the MASTER FIC LIST.  Tomorrow, we'll be doing our last "-Ward" list.  I'll have one more week of specific categories...and then we'll be done!  :)

The Low Review Count Contest

Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 5:43 AM

*Note: This is not actually, like, a contest. Don't shoot, rangers!

Happy Wednesday morning, forest! Let's play a little game. 

We're always looking to see which stories are on the "most reviews evar!!" list, so how about we do the opposite? I want to find the stories with the fewest number of reviews out there, so come post your own story or a story you follow that has a really, really low review count. Be sure to include the story name, review count and chapter numbers, so we can judge fairly (a 40 chapter story with ten reviews is way more epically obscure than a 5 chapter WIP with nine, for example). Let's try to compile a list of the top ten or so.

Winner gets...a lot of encouragement from the rest of the forest (yay!), and maybe even some new readers, too.

Have at it!

Forgotten Fic Name

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 9:55 PM

OK I am in this B and E parents stage. And I read one fic along time ago and can't remember the name. Bella had Edwards little girl and he didn't know about her. Then when the daughter starts school Bella finds out that Alice is her kindergarden teacher. All I really remember is that Bella has another friend from college who has a daughter and is best friends with B's daughter. When Alice shows up at B's place to talk to her she slaps her in the face and then talk things out. Alice tells her she has to tell Edward by the end of the week or she does.

Does this sound familar to anyone?

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 7:47 PM

Ok, everyone, I'm bored and in a strange mood.  So, why not do TMI?  Ok, no holds barred on this one.  Give me any tmi you got on any topic!

Be forewarned!  Enter this campfire at your own risk.  If you are easily offended or squicked out, you may want to pass right on by. 

 

This campfire approved by the lovely and talented GAW. :)

 

Check it out, even RPattz likes tmi...

BECOMING PARTS 1&2 DOUBLE HEADER

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 3:42 PM

THIS POST IS STICKIED, I DON'T CARE.  THIS IS THE BEST THAT BUFFY HAS TO OFFER, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.  IN TWO PARTS, WTVOC AND A DIFFERENT FOREST PRESENTS TO YOU: BECOMING PARTS 1&2.

even if you don't watch buffy, i challenge you to watch part 2 and not get a little teary-eyed.  you don't need to be filled in on details, you don't need a backstory.  you can watch this excellent example of writing, angst, heartache, comedy, fear, what-have-you, and be entertained for 45 minutes.  go on.  do it.

becoming part 1:

Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.

becoming part 2 (sob sob sob sob sob sob sobbbbbbb have your kleenex handy):

No, it doesn't stop. It never stops. Do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or, god, even studying! But I have to save the world. Again.

even if you've seen it, come in here and comment as you watch along.

A Matter of Convenience

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 2:04 PM

I'm hoping that someone can PLEASE help me.  I love A Matter of Convenience by Spotzle.  The problem is that she had to discontinue writing the fic a while back and she pulled it.  She had posted on her profile that she would send out what had already been written to whomever wanted it as well as a run down of what would have happened in the rest of the story.  Well, I didn't see that till quite a while after it was pulled and I did write her but got no response. 

Anyway, I've since been able to get a copy of what had already been written but I'm wondering if anyone out there was able to get the summary of the rest of the story.  I would love to know what happens!

Kristen is awesome

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 11:41 AM

I wasn't going to start a KStew Tuesday Campfire today, but the lovely AnastasiaBeaverhausen/SuperKannen told me she missed them, and it's her birthday! It's also Hillary Clinton's birthday, and I love Hillary. So, this campfire is for all of the strong, intelligent, awesome women everywhere. And of course, the topic is something totally random...

I love Kristen's shades. Don't you? Share your favorite pics. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY AB!

Singing Rob?

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 11:38 AM

What happened to Rob's music? He had 2 songs in Twilight ("Never Think" and "Let Me Sign" which is amazing) and since I've heard nothing about him singing or recording any more music. Is it that he's too busy, or doesn't want to do it anymore? Or is it that I just missed it completely? Is he a multiplatinum recording star and I just don't know about it?

While you're here, tell me that name of another actor/actress/other celebrity with a good voice that maybe the rest of us haven't heard about. Any information you have that will add to my iTunes library makes me very happy :)

P.S. Links to mp3s (of course totally legal, licensed ones) would be greatly appreciated.

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 11:28 AM

Pears13 has pulled all her stories on FFic and Twilighted. I know she said she was taking time for her own writing but does anyone know why she took down her stories, or if she'll be back?

Late to the party

Tuesday October 26, 2010 at 11:27 AM

So I'm really late for this, but that's the story of my life. *shrug*

Anyway I recently discovered the awesomeness of For the Summer . I love it and would recommend everyone to read it.

I was wondering if anyone when how I could get my hands on the FGB outtake? 

I obviously didn't buy it in June since I didn't really know about the story then.

I asked the author but she hasn't replied. I'd be happy to donate more to FGB.

Help please!

 

Some pretty for your time
