Thread #5 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice

Great! Will read it after i finish the book i'm reading. *whispers* Pssst, Ella, it's not yet on your google drive. Am sticking to my ffnet boycott. 

I mostly read Kristen Ashley during my vacation. Stopped my 5 book run as i didn't want to run out of her books for me to read  after reading some other so so books, am in the mood for good twific 

LOL!  I was out all day. Should be there by tomorrow.

OMG This story is so ridiculous. I've searched and saw it mentioned a couple times on here, but it's like some drawn out soap opera told from the eyes of the other woman. Angela is also another character I often seen paired with Cheaterward and it's totally cliched with the whole Pastor's Daughter giving it to her best friends boyfriend. It's a drabble and really annoying to keep clicking over and over but I feel like it was written on someones break at work with so much emphasis on the angst. PLOT TWIST: this whole affair goes down when they're in high school so I kind of had to roll my eyes at the overall tone of the story. It skips ahead 8 years and you're just supposed to be in a different mindset over personal growth and not remembering that the author wrote some really shitty people that only think of themselves because they're teenagers with raging hormones and no sense of respect for others. There were also some outtakes posted that were supposed to elaborate on these characters and I just had to sympathy at all and saw this review left by one of my all time favorite authors. I miss her.



But I was elated with the ending because

on another note, Edward's secret child stories are my guilty pleasure. Basically any story where Edward knocks up Bella is great with me, but I love the secret aspect BUT ONLY IN FICTION because if it were real life and someone kept their child a secret for years to preserve their feelings, instead of their child, it's just really shady and not fair to the child or missing parent. With that said, I was reading some story where Bella is wanting a baby so she starts sleeping with Edward without the use of any contraceptives. It got me thinking about how I'd never read any good story where Bella has a baby that Edward wants nothing to do with the child. I think I found one!

She knew when she met him she wouldn't be able to deny him anything. Is that how she ended up pregnant at 16 and left to handle it alone? Bella raises her daughter with the help of her family... but what about the person who matters most?

Still a work in progress, so it's something I never would have found if it wasn't recc'd on The Lemonade Stand. I really like the pacing and how realistic it seems to be. It's told mostly in the present but there are scenes leading up to the pregnancy and the aftermath. Sometimes that annoys me, but this time it's done in a way that's not a bore to get through, because you already know what's happened and you're not being led up to the present. Realistically, there are a ton of teenagers that would not be able to handle having a child at 18, so they flee. That's just what Edward did in this story and I really like that Bella doesn't seem to welcome him back with open arms the minute they reunite. He has a lot to make up for and she's making him work for it.

Ugh I'm reading Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear by TheFicChick and really wish I didn't. I usually love her stories but this is a WIP that reminds me of another story I just read, My Manic and I by the.littlest.ingenue.

Noooooooo! We've discussed this. Keep "doing" but no "creating" for a while for you.   

Ahh, you spoil all my fun hun. 
Just wait, you said I could keep "doing", so I'm gonna. 

Look how young the Fassy looks! God after a day eating too much fish and chocolate ( not together mind...) This is just what I need before bed, shame he's not with me to help me work off the calories....

Overies?  I think my ' secret cradle' just exploded! What film is that?  Fassy is the Dan Dada as my young cousins would say...

Did they have to 'bronze' his hair? He's actually kinda hot...and 'Grey-like'; he might just pull it off, but I'm still going to wait for the DVD *coughonlinedownloadcough* of the film.

I think I just puked in my mouth a little at the mention of fish and chocolate together.
After some research (okay, I cheated and stole what they do on Catfish to find this out  ) I found out that the film that gif came from was You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, I've not watched it, but I got a feeling I might d/l it tonight and the bonus is that Josh Brolin is in it as well. 
I'm like you hun waiting to watch FSoG online, cos I'm not paying a tenner to watch it in the cinema. 

Last post from me - I promise. 
But this is for anyone who doesn't know who Mr Soft is, I feel so old when I watch this that I know the song of by heart.

Ok, some help in translation please.  What does LB mean? was guessing Little Boner or Lady Boner but we don't have that appendage needed for a "boner" so am guessing i'm wrong?

Does geordie refer to a person from a city in the UK?

What does PMSL stand for too?

Thanks for being patient to answer what might be stupid questions 

Edit: i now know what PMSL! Thanks to Urban Dic. But LB still leaves me stumped.

LB does mean Lady Boner. 
Geordies is how people from Newcastle are referred to here in the UK. 

Thanks for clarifying!

Here, a gorgeous guy that you cant help but lust after, we say "He's so LP" or Laglag Panty, which literally translates to falling panty/ies    . It's almost like "his smile is a pantydropper". But here, just at the sight of the gorgeous guy, is enough to drop your panties for him.   

Yeah, lust and male objectification at its worst 


Wait, follow up stupid question. Why are they called Geordie and not Newie or Newcastlie?

I think I'm gonna use LP form now on - I like it. I was gonna post he that he makes my CT but I thought against it, doesn't matter now that I've posted it. 

The North-East is where Newcastle is (obviously or otherwise this theory would just be weird  )

Someone else on here might know more than me (which isn't a hard thing to do) about it and clue us all in. I've asked the hubby but he just says Google it - so he's really not a lot of help. 

Oooh, CT seems so much more descriptive! But think i'll stick to LP lest my mostly conservative, read prudish, countrymen die of a heart attack hearing such a term 

Yeah, will google it too...but don't be surprised if a few months from now i might ask the same question  seriously, getting old has affected my brain cells a bit 

Lol, there's where my lack filter gets me in trouble or comes in handy (depends which way you look at it) 
No probs hun, I've been with the hubby 7 years and I still have to ask him random questions like this every so often. 

Woman, I am forever impressed by the fact that your stomach is obviously lined with a few coats of steel 

Heheheeee...is this another dig at my 'fish and chocolate' post? No, I know, sometimes (in fact, lately, ALL THE TIME!) I kinda like my Edward OCC to the point of 'who?' Ya know? Unrecognisable for the SM incarnation...which begs the question why I bother to read Twifics at all....

No one really knows for sure why their called Geordies but one of theories is:
that the name was taken from George (Geordie) Stephenson, the mining and railway engineer who hailed from the north-east.

The North-East is where Newcastle is (obviously or otherwise this theory would just be weird  )

Someone else on here might know more than me (which isn't a hard thing to do) about it and clue us all in. I've asked the hubby but he just says Google it - so he's really not a lot of help. 

I have no idea either, I will also say that I'm sure if I were to ask a Geordie I'd still be none the wiser as I can't understand a word they say!  
Personally I like this explanation "...in the eighteenth century the townsfolk of Newcastle sided with George I against the Scottish Jacobite Rebels, thus being called ‘Geordies’; this is the view favoured by the University of Newcastle."
Better than all that stuff about 'coal miners' which I think is just traditionally Londoners way of sneering at anyone who lives North of Watford..

I read this real fast this morning and it was a good thing it was short or I never would have made it Somehow, eight years later and lots of wasted money for therapy - Angela was still an idiot.

I have lots of guilty pleasure reads - mostly WIP that everytime I open them, I think to myself, "Why am I still reading this?" But still from the story lines that have been overdone or the ones that make no sense I still can't help but click them open to see what happened.

My Manic and I by the.littlest.ingenue. -  Can you post a copy? I did look for it here and on FF can't find it - it was on my to be read list but never downloaded.
Thanks

I have no idea either, I will also say that I'm sure if I were to ask a Geordie I'd still be none the wiser as I can't understand a word they say!  

This is probably the only reason why me and the hubby work - we don't understand what we say to each other as I sound so like such a farmer and well he sounds like he does. 

So.... I'm gonna be completely pathetic and admit that I'm 21 years old and have never been on a date before. A guy I work with asked me out for coffee on Monday night and I'm really excited and super super nervous. You guys have any advice for the socially inept?

I'm sure you'll be fine hun - just be yourself. 
You know each other through work, so that's a start - I know it's boring but if you get stuck on something to talk about, you can always talk about that.
Good luck, you'll have to let us know if we have to buy a hat or not after your date.
