Forgive the cheesy title... It was Britney Spears Top Ten there on telly a few hours ago.. And I liked her.. A long time ago.. haha

Anyway... I rarely make campfires.. I think this is my third... ever.. I might have done one on the old site, I can't remember

I'm waffling again... So the main reason for this campfire is..

I want Rob pics/ Jackson pics.. Bit of DB (he's lovely..) And a whole lot of Johnny Depp..

Fic Rec's... Angst if you please..

Random videos that you think is hilarious..

The reason.. Yeah I guess I need a reason to be selfish.. I've got about an hour or so before I become another year older.. So I want tomorrow to be good! Considering I can't go out for a few drinks until the weekend.. Stupid College and mid-week birthdays..

And a gift in thanks ahead.. hell I just want a bit more of him!

COUPON FOR NEW MOON, ANYONE?

.. some call it The List, but wtvoc has dubbed it:

"the avett/boreanaz factor"

You know, the dude that your SO or BF or Husband knows that if they come knocking, you are allowed that free pass.

 I know for most of you that guy is Mr. Pattinson, and that is okay to admit. If he ever showed up at my door..well, I'll never know. But I already have my free pass. Oh, and by the way, I saw mine on Saturday. We had a moment. Yes, this campfire is just a place to spam you with the pictures I took Saturday night WITH MY PHONE...

And here is a video of Scott Avett falling in front of me and literally bucking his hips in the air during Talk on Indolence. Turn down your speakers. The sound is bad. But the video is worth watching till the end because Scott gets down on his knees. Always a good thing...

I was front row center and Scott and I shared a talk and some sweat. I was in heaven. Seriously. I even forgave him for having more beard than I usually like. Why would you hide a face like this?

SO tell me. Who is your free pass. I want pictures! 

Many times, we get people asking "does anyone know of a fic in which..." or people saying "I have this story idea but I don't write..."

And as a lady who writes fic, I often WANT to write, but have no idea WHAT to write...So.

Welcome to Prompt Monday!  This thread is for readers, authors and everyone in between.  Have a prompt idea?  Post it here.  Looking for an idea?  Scan this thread.

Please, don't post anything here you don't want someone else to use, as everything in this thread is up for grabs.

Good Morning Campers!

Did you all have a great weekend?  Did you watch the Oscars?  I didn't because my mom came over to watch it with my daughter and their commentary was so annoying, I pretended to do "work" on my computer with my headphones on :(

But I saw the results....so awesome about The Hurt Locker!!

A few Random Facts, the MOVIE edition....

~Walt Disney holds the record for most Oscar wins and nominations. He was nominated 60 times during his lifetime and received 22 statues.
~The stunt double for Bernie in the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" suffered a few broken ribs while filming the movie, due to all the pitfalls and stunts of playing a dead man; most notably in the scene involving Bernie being dragged around the surface of the lake, bumping into metal floating obstacles.
~David Alan Grier, Ice Cube, Dave Chappelle and John Travolta all turned down the offer to play the role of Bubba from Forrest Gump. Chevy Chase also turned down the role of playing Forrest.
~During the filming of Fight Club Brad Pitt chipped his tooth , but waited to have it capped until after filming because he felt it added to his character.
~During World War II, in support of the American effort, the Oscar statues were made of plaster and were traded in for gold ones after the war had ended.

A lot has been made about SM's Twilight saga being pretty similar to other books out there...like CH's Southern Vampire Mysteries and LJ's Vampire Diaries....

And I wanted to throw another AH Edward into the fire.

Richard Gere's Edward in Pretty Woman

Now stay with me...

Exhibit A.) His name is Edward. Duh.

Exhibit B.) He's a picky, lonley millionaire that's never known true love. 

Exibity C.) He never sleeps.  Techinically he finally sleeps towards the end but you see what I'm saying.

I wasted my entire morning yesterday watching this on Lifetime and wanted to tell someone how SM must have ripped Twilight off of this cinema masterpiece...but alas...my family is over my vampire rantings.

Interactive: 

Can you think of any other characters/books/movies that are rip offs or have been ripped off in the Twilight series?

I can't promise jewelry but if you're ever in Texas we can have strawberries and champagne. : )     

 Me again!  I can't sleep until I  know one thing: How long was Bella actually pregnant with the Demon Spawn?  Does anyone know? TIA!

Peter Facinelli was at the ERIE MALL TODAY AND I FECKIN' MISSED IT.

Does anyone have a copy of In The Land of Milk & Honey?  It was on my list and then it was pulled and it haunts me...it haunts me. Ooh, Suicide Kings too? PM if ya do!

Gifties--

So I had my first official FanFic dream, i'm not talking Twilight dreams (I've def had those too though, mostly when I started reading the books), but a full on fanfic dream:

I was (of coarse) Bella, it was set in NYC ( I live here) and i was living in a shadey part of Chinatown, I met Edward due to he was a bartender in my neighborhood (I'll have you know, I was lucky enough to have Rob Pattinson guest staring as Edward in my dreams)

I was an addict and used alcohol when i couldnt get my drug fix so we bonded during the days and odd nights I stumbled into his establishment. Turns out Edward had an addiction to drugs as well, we cultivated this need together and we soon found our selves addict to one another as well. Loveing and making love to one another like we would go after any other addiction. Soon Edward felt he needed to get clean, and much like a new moon esque twist he left me, first begging that I too go to rehab as he was going. But I didn't get help, instead I fell into deeper into addiction, dealing drugs to help make up for my drug debt to this awful and evil drug dealer...Jacob.

Edward returned to find I was very sick, but was afraid to see me again, afraid to risk his own sobriety, Finally I believe he was going to break through it and save me (I was living at Jacobs) but I don't know...My sister woke me up!!!

Any how, have you ever had a fanfic dream???

My friend and I are looking for something a little different, does anyone know a good alice/bella romance?

 FINAL

Hey Everyone!

A few of you know that I write fan-fiction.  Even fewer know that I write…other stuff.  I’m currently working on a piece for a (non-twi) online magazine called “Redefining the Twilight Fan”.  There’s a rather unpleasant stereotype about us out there, and I’m going to try to do my small bit to dispel some of that.

WE know who and what we are.  We’re smart, well-read, interesting, educated, strong, professional women.   We’re more than the screaming hoards (though we can sometimes be a bit of that too).  We’re mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, business owners, writers, etc..

WE KNOW THIS.  But the rest of the world doesn’t.  Especially when so many of us are in the closet with our obsession.

So help me out ladies.  Let’s crack the stereotype and show the world WHO WE ARE.  Take a few minutes to answer the questions below.  You can be as elaborate or as concise as you want.  If there is something you are not comfortable with answering, then don’t!  If there’s anything you’d like to add, please do so.  If you’re not comfortable sharing this information here, then feel free to PM me.

I appreciate your help…and I’ll post a link to the article once it’s published.  

Thank-you :)
