We have twitter posts from time to time but I am using my RANGER POWER to tell you all that I changed my twitter name from

MusicSundays to Emibella1

maybe you have heard me whine like a little baby about this in the past so I just went ahead and begrudgingly added a number to MY username. 

If you are following me, DON'T PANIC (heh) it's still me. If not, click on the name and start. I'll play with anyone.

Also, I changed my userpic to this fine piece of talent.

If you see it on your feed. Say HI EMIBELLA!

ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

In this post tell us where you hook up and are social online and WHAT NAMES YOU use. 

Any community goes, LIVEJOURNAL, FANFICTIONdotNET, TWITTER... just no personal info and obviously only what you WANT us to know. We all know we can use the ADF PM feature to contact each other if need be. 

SO, WHERE DO YOU PLAY AND CAN WE JOIN YOU?

and don't forget, ALL of you should be following ADF on twitter at /differentforest!

So, Ashley Greene was interviewed by her co-star in New Moon, Michael Sheen, for Interview Magazine.

Michael Sheen is hilarious, I suggest you read it.

Here is a little teaser:

SHEEN: So obviously you’ve developed an interest in fashion since the last time I saw you.

GREENE: You’re a jerk.

SHEEN: [laughs] Don’t say that. I’m the interviewer, and you can’t call the person who’s interviewing you a jerk. That’s the reason why I agreed to do this: I can do whatever I want. So tell me about fashion. Do you feel pressure every time you go out because you know that there’s a high chance that someone’s going to take a picture of you walking down the street? Do you feel a pressure to not dress in jean shorts and flip-flops?

GREENE: There was a moment in time where I was kind of having this mini-breakdown because it was all very new, and it was all being thrown at me really quickly, and I was going, “Why are people reporting on this? Why do people care what I’m wearing or what I’m eating, and why are people looking down on me because I’m not wearing high heels?” That’s the downside to being in the public eye. When girls come up and say, “You’re my role model,” it’s really flattering, but it’s also really scary because I’m not perfect and I’m going to make mistakes. I’ve just decided that I have to continue to live my life and do what I do. Hopefully, people love me because of who I am, not who I pretend to be.

SHEEN: Is it true that you always ask for a male body double because you have both sets of sexual organs?

GREENE: I might ask for a male body double because I have broad shoulders, but definitely not because I have two sets of organs, no.

SHEEN: Is it true that your Twitter name is HotForRob23?

GREENE: That’s absolutely not true.

SHEEN: Okay, last question: In exactly 10 years’ time, what would you like to be doing?

GREENE: I’ll be 32. Maybe having a baby?

SHEEN: You’d like to be in hideous pain on this day in 10 years’ time?

It's fairly lengthy so you can read the rest here

So this is my first campfire. *waves nervously* 

A while ago I read this B/E fic - I think it was a one-shot, maybe for a contest.

This is what I remember about it:

Edward, Jasper, Alice and Bella (girls and boys are bff's) are lifeguards at the local pool during the summer in Forks. Edward thinks Bella is the most annoying thing ever and can't stand her (thinks she cock-blocks him). Bella has a crush on Edward, which is why she is always hovering. One day Edward has had enough and tells her to back of, in front of all their friends. Bella is humiliated and doesn't show up at work the next couple of days. Edward goes to her house to apologize (Alice has a hand in this). He finds out that the world doesn't revolve around him, that Bella has missed work because Renee has left her and Charlie. He starts looking at her differently and they all start hanging out a bit. Everything changes with a dry-hump in the truck and B/E start getting together in secret, in his car by the pool when it's raining. Edward seems embarrassed to be with her - it's not "cool", but gets jealous when some of the other boys start showing an interest in her. Everything ends in HEA

I'm sure I got some of the details wrong, but ... that is how I remember it. I would really like to read it again, so PLEASE help me find this again. *bats eyelashes*

And here is some pretty to look at

K, so, I'm being completely unproductive today. I should be working... it isn't like I don't have a project deadline fast approaching. But, call it lack of motivation or something.

Instead of doing what I should be doing, I've been stalking people on twitter, reading a few ff updates, and have even been writing a little. At work. Oops! I probably should be fired but oh well.

So, what are YOU doing to waste away your day?

For your motivation, I give you lovelies:

And for wtvoc:

Jandco sent me this video, js

Mmmkay. So, I didn't know if this has been done before, but I thought it would be fun and therefore decided to do a campfire post for it. I was listening to music yesterday and had a bunch of songs where I went, 'oh my gosh! This song would have been perfect for the nm soundtrack!' So... i wanted to do a post dedicated to it. What song/songs would you have picked for new moon? For which scenes? Me? I've got a couple!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmREF37eh-4f Breath by Breaking Benjamine for sure. During Bella's depression time after Edward leaves her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDmnG9uTEfk Breathe in, Breathe out by Mat Kearney for the renunion in the bedroom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RRbMpowe1g Greener with the Scenery by The Used for the plane ride back from Volterra.

Show me some of your picks?

I'm surprised that this hasn't already been posted here (or maybe I missed it), but Ms. Kathy is hosting a fundraiser for Haiti Relief.  All you need to do is donate a minimum of $5 to the charity of your choice and send her the reciept.  In return, you will recieve a copy of a series of one-shots from a whole slew of authors.  She's already raised more than $5,000!

Are you bored?

Looking to play a game?

Well, look no further.  It's time to play...Fic.  Prompt.  Post!

It's simple.  Simply post a picture or a group of words and a lovely camper will come along write a little short ditty (can be longer than a drabble, just not War & Peace, k) using your prompt.

I'll go first:  a formica table, bottle of coke, birthday cake

And for some inspiration:

*this post was approved by the lovely pixievamp

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW EXCITE THIS MAKES ME?

 I'm a very quiet camper, I like to pop in and see what's going on a few times a week, catch up on the chatter in the Cabins and Read what new fics the beloved VIP's have given us..

BUT

my favorite thing of them all, is reading through the Campfire posts and the comments that come under them.  The Banned Post has given me the BIGGEST case of the giggles and I'm actually still wiping the tears from my laughter!

So what's your favorite part of ADF?  

For me.. these.. gifs and silly youtube vids are UTTER WIN! - 

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE READ THIS RIDICULOUSLY WONDERFUL SERIES???

The rights to the first film have been bought by Lionsgate, but casting has yet to begin. 

So, if you've read these books, come play with us. Cast the film with your dream actors/actresses. 

My dream Katniss looks kinda like this:

But forget the boys... they are just too specific in my mind. But they had better be GOOD. Damn good. 

this post approved by me and the other campers/Rangers discussing this series in the love post. 

 Ranger Edit: Like me. I approve. But only if your Gale is SMOKING HOT. Others need not apply. Love, E.

miss me?

drama brings me out of my study-induced haze.

lettuce move on with our lives and discuss our favorite distractions.

like really great fanfiction.

crazy damned gifs:

and the gorgeous people who make me marvelous macros/david boreanaz (obvs):

Always looking for new and exciting ways to spice things up for our Campers, A Different Forest held a contest across high school journalism departments to find up-and-coming writers to feature on the site.  The winner is Jessica Stanley, from Forks High Herald in Forks, Washington.  ADF will be syndicating her weekly interviews with notable folks from her hometown.  (We are sure you’ll recognize many of their names, as well as appreciate an inside look into their stories.)  
 
We hope all you Campers enjoy them. The feature begins soon, so to get you ready, here’s a little more about Miss Stanley in her own words:

Hi.  I’m Jessica, a senior here at Forks High.  I like hanging out with my friends, talking on the phone, tweeting, texting, and shopping.  One day, when school was cancelled for an ice storm, I spent the day on my couch watching daytime television.  My life changed when I watched Oprah Winfrey interviewing Chace Crawford.  I remember thinking like “oh my God.  I could totally do that.”  Because, let’s face it.  Oprah makes more money than anyone could ever count.  Plus- it would be like my ‘in’ to meeting and interviewing like really cute, famous guys.  And girls too.  Whatever. 

So I looked into the whole journalism thing, and here I am, writing an article for the Forks High Herald.  You gotta start somewhere, right?  I’ll be spending time interviewing interesting characters who got their start right here, in this area.  They might not be famous… but who knows?  Hopefully this practice will help ME to be famous, someday! 

Helen_ice will no longer be with us here in the forest. And we have your IP address-so don't try to come in again.

How do you get a gazillion young people to help earthquake-devastated Haiti?

Have Robert Pattinson talk to them.

As you may have already heard, George Clooney is heading up a telethon on Jan. 22 to raise disaster relief funds for the Caribbean nation.

Pattinson, I'm told, is on the top of everyone's list to take part in what will likely be an A-list effort…

Organizers, a source reveals, are aiming high and will be asking for Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to take part.

It's too early to say what—if anything—the world's most famous vampire movie stars will do, but a source close to Stewart tells me, "She'd jump at the chance to do something to help."

That something may have to be pretaped. Stewart is scheduled to be traveling to the Sundance Film Festival at the time of the telethon to promote Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways.

Clooney first told my old pal Roger Friedman at the Hollywood Reporter that the telethon would take place on MTV. But as of this afternoon, I'm happy to report ABC, NBC, HBO and CNN have agreed to air it, too.

I am not supposed to be back on here again.

In light of the last campfire on procrastination, I began to do my dishes. I had to use a little music to motivate myself. Which got me to thinking:

Which author has been responsible for introducing you to a band that is now a solid favorite/can'tlivewithout?

For me it was Oxymoronic8, who introduced me to The Appleseed Cast in Innocent, Vigilant, Ordinary. They get the dishes done, baby...emotionally.

Thank you Oxymoronic8! (BTW, you made me fall in love with The National too.)

I hope my Youtube thingy worked. I'm not technologically advanced in any way.
