Here is the recently (as in today) released trairler for The Mortal Intruments - City of Bones Movie..

Does anyone want to talk about the latest installment of the Black Dagger Brotherhood?  

I finished last night and I'm DYING to discuss!  I have already yelled at Tor to hurry up and read so we can discuss but I'm hoping maybe there's someone out there who may be dying like me to talk to someone about it??

Also, to make it interactive, how much weight do you give other people's reviews.  Both Tor and I read reviews on Goodreads that made me (us) think this book was going to be not so good and it gave me ANGST!  But I'm happy to report that they were lying liars who LIED!

Do you let other people's reviews sway your excitement level for a book or story?

BTW, Goodreads was purchased by Amazon  last week I think... things that make you go hmmmmm

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week. The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy.

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum. If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name.

I have an idea for a 'Getting to know you' campfire.

I've recently moved back home from uni over Easter holidays, and after sorting my bedroom out I realised that it sends some strong messages of who I am as a person.

So:

Imagine you are a stranger in your own bedroom, what would your room say about who you are and what you like? (include photos - but don't go behind any cupboard doors)

mine'll be inside :)

I wasn't sure if I needed a Rec - what with it being interactive - let me know if I do and I'll find one :D

Ranger Approved.

Happy April Fool's Day ! ! ! 

Do you write fan fiction?

Give us a little peek!

Post something about your upcoming chapters here

excerpt / pictease / music / riddle / poem / banners

~ Don't forget to include a link to your story! ~

I was hoping helpful people here at ADF can help me identify a fic that I've read, lost, and now haunts me. 

I read it not too long ago and it was still a WIP. It's a Carlisle/Bella fic where Carlisle (and the rest of the Cullens) is a vampire and Bella is a witch. At last update I read, Bella was still a child, around primary school age, living first with her biological parents (mother was also a witch), then fostered by a lonely Charles Swan. It appears Bella can read thoughts as well as other unspecified magical abilities. She first found Carlisle through a mental link and they share a truly touching (and completely innocent) bond.

Is this ringing any bells? I hope someone recognize this. I really want to follow this story. The author was truly talented.

So, I'm a bit tired of reading fics where Bella has "legs that go for miles", being a short girl myself and dealing with self confidence issues I'd like to read about an average looking Bella. One who doesn't have perfect long legs for example.

Curvy Bella's and any other not model-looking-like Bella will be amazing to read too. 

So, bring you average looking Bella please <3

Easter treats all around:

Rob in a wetsuit.  Paddling around Malibu.

Will post more in comments, if I can get them to load.  Can't seem to take them from the websites today; had to get it off tumblr in lower res.

Do you have the nerve to go in public in a wetsuit?

ARE YOU EXCITED?! ARE YOU READY?! 

We didn't have one of those since forever ............

Truth or Truth

AKA

The Dirty Truth

Since we can't do a Truth or Dare, So we'll stick with Truth or Truth :)

The Rules:

Ask any camper any question you want, but it has to be just one question per time.

You can't ask a question but after you comment on the CF, mentioning your gender and your age.

I know that it'll mostly if not all will be (Female) but just do it. And since the women age sometimes is Top Secret; you can say (old enough)

Okay?

How to play:

You add a comment first, mentioning the above.

You choose a camper that already commented, then you ask them a question.

The question must be asked under the camper main comment, as in reply to their comment.

When a question is asked to you, you have to say the truth, and nothing but truth. OR I'LL HUNT YOU IN YOUR DREAMS! AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. LOL!

You can ask any camper even if someone already asked them, but only one question per comment and it has to be as a reply on the main comment, not a reply to the reply.

Got it, guys?

One thing that is really important:

The question has to be about SEX, and nothing but SEX :P

Let's get started :)

If you're a new camper and still dont get it, check this CF out :) or this :)
 

My sister in law and her boyfriend have decided to get married, Vegas style! The wedding's in May and I can't wait to get to see some of our family again.

The wedding planning was easy. She picked her package at the chapel and the crermony is handled by the chapel. We just had to pick our bridesmaid dresses, she her wedding dress (super country casual, which I love. Think eyelet lace and cowboy boots) and then where to eat afterwards.

The bride's friends back home are throwing a bachelorette party for her, but she wants another one in Vegas. Her only specifics? There must be tons of alcohol involved. The other bridesmaid hasn't responded to any of my text messages, so this is where you come in!

Have any of you ever been to a bachelorette party in Las Vegas? I have no idea what to do or where to take her! Since the mother in law will be there, we'd like to steer clear of anything too naughty, so the Thunder From Down Under is probably out, lol.

So, ladies, your input is appreciated! I have a little over two months to plan this sucka!

I'm in the mood for fanfiction, which I haven't been in a while. but I'm in the mood for a little something in particular.

I am sick to the back teeth of fics where the vampires don't eat people, and Edward's obsessed with getting married. I want vampires who eat people! Who aren't necessarily bad people, but maybe they enjoy the company of humans, like how some people keep pet sheep or pigs - don't mean you won't eat lamb and bacon - you know?

I want something a little bit dark, a little bit dangerous, a little bit sexy. Bella/jasper, Bella/Edward, whatever. But good!

To make this interactive: Does anyone else feel this way? Or do you like your vampires redeemable? Sweet even? Or do you not like vampfic at all? What's your go to fic when you're really in the mood for something dark and sexy?

And a Rec: Beneath This Sky by Bedelia - I genuinely love everything Bedelia writes :) and this is no different, it's not quite in the same category as what I'm asking for, but I'd say it's dark and sexy, and mysterious to boot!

See what I did there, hmmmm?  

What you doing today everyone?

I'm enjoying a lazy Easter morning with my husband and youngest son 

and then we're off to Iowa City to spend the day with my oldest.  

On a different note, I'm contemplating a new tattoo (I have four).  I want

something like this to cover an old, faded tat on my ankle:

And I'm also contemplating something like this, only in white ink:

So, do you have any new tattoos?  Any old ones?  Have a pic of your dream tattoo? 

OR

Do you celebrate Easter?  What are you doing today?

[ See what else I found, inside :-) ]

(er, I was going to feed a tree but there are no ads??)

I see that we have alot of artistic people here in ADF. Being late to Ms.R's cf from yesterday I wanted to touch base with the other crafty beings and get/give some advice/help. Much like the book club we could make it a routine to support each other's indeavors.  Even do some bartering, a fav of mine.

I'm just learning about a business liscense, how to get supplies wholesale with said liscense. And what that means at tax time. Anyone with info on this side of crafts, including etsy/ebay/etc. sites I'd love to know more.

Some of you already know that I make jewelry. I also paint, needlepoint on paper, sew, and can diy around the house(everything from paint, garden, change lighting fixtures & plumbing, and my new job is painting my cement patio floor).

If anything, I do too much and can't stop a project. If I was a writer it would be one that everyone moans she never finishes her wip. Here's a photo of my latest jewelry. Come inside and show me yours.

 This is the case for the diamond in the rough. Yeah…you know the one I mean. He’s the guy that you already know; the one who you wouldn’t look at twice. Or maybe he’s your best friend’s brother. Or perhaps he is the roommate of the guy you’ve been crushing on forever. Or he could even be your very best friend; the one you love but don’t lust for, because there simply isn’t any spark.

Or is there?

Could the one you fall in love be someone who you knew all along?

So many girls comment that they go through one bad break up after another…they just can’t seem to be lucky when it comes to finding love. 

I used to be one of those girls too. Then I met this guy who was wearing a navy blue trench coat (with a zipped out fur lining) and a pom-pom knitted cap, during a college trip abroad. He was a nice guy, (despite the fact that he wore loafers with tassels and argyle socks) but he was definitely not my type. For starters, he was from Virginia and the only thing I knew about Virginia was Thomas Jefferson, John-Boy Walton, peanuts, and, well, ham. He was a lot of fun though, and he made me laugh. Still, there wasn’t any spark; none at all. Until…

He kissed me

This is a campfire about finding Mr. Right There Under Your Nose.

Have YOU been looking for Mr. Right in all the wrong places?
 

Come share your own stories…

Did you end up with a diamond in the rough?

Or…perhaps you’ve been re-thinking your feelings about the guy who sits in the cubicle across from yours? Or…your brother’s best friend’s cousin who wears black pants with brown shoes and still lives with his mother.

Friends turned lovers…it’s not only in fan fiction!

Or…if ya just wanna come in and B&M about love gone wrong, or unrequited love (What is wrong with that man anyway? Oh right…you’re lovely and he’ an idiot.) That’s fine too. Tell Auntie J all about it!
 

WEEK 1 OF AIR FORCE BASIC MILITARY TRAINING:

MTI: What the piss trainee?!? Hurry up!!!

ME: (trying to lock wall locker but can’t get the lock through the hole)

MTI: Stop moving slow!!

ME: (Fumbles more with the lock)

MTI: Holy crap M, we’re waiting on you!!!


WEEK 2 OF BMT:

(during drill practice)

MTI: Holy crap M, get in step! Maintain your DCID!

WEEK 3 OF BMT:

MTI: (while checking beds) This hospital corner is disgusting. Who did this bed?

( random trainee raises hand)

MTI: Get on your face.

WEEK 4 OF BMT:

MTI:. This is the frickin 4th week of training and what are you doing? Not listening to student leaders, not getting details done on time…talking during TAPS. This is unacceptable. None of you deserve to be here right now. Ya’ll better get it together. I’m not afraid to recycle this whole flight.

WEEK 5 OF BMT:

TECHNICAL SGT.: Hey you, M. You been studying?

ME: (sitting at the position of attention) Yes sir.

TS: What is the rank insignia of a Master Sgt.?

ME: Sir, trainee M reports as ordered. Sir, the rank insignia of a master sgt…..

TS: Hurry up and don’t hesitate. I don’t have all day.
Me: …is a chevron of 6 stripes, one of which is inverted.

TS: You sure?

Me:… I believe so sir.

TS: None of that “I believe so” crap. It’s either yes or no.

Me: Yes sir.

TS: Outstanding. Carry on. (walks away.)

Me:  0_0

WEEK 6 OF BMT:

Cadre/MTI: ya’ll got 15 minutes to eat your MRE, get all the trash together, and get back in formation. Make it happen.

All of us:

0_0


WEEK 7 OF BMT:

(After we get our duty dorm inspection result)

All of us: Yeah, we’re not getting honor grad…

WEEK 8 OF BMT, first half of the week:

Trainee A: If B doesn’t shut up I’m going to knock her a^& out.

Trainee B : if you don’t shut YOUR mouth I’m going to knock YOUR A%* out.

SECOND HALF OF WEEK:

Trainee A: (to trainee B) OMG, I’m going to miss you!!!

 Trainee B: OMG I’m going to miss you too!!!



SO yeah…quite an experience. BEAST (week 6) was awesome, but at the same time a dusty, attitude-riddled hellhole, and today was graduation. We were band flight so we played during Retreat and the ceremony today. I’ll try to post some pics inside once I get the chance.

I feel….different but the same. Does that make sense? I learned a lot about myself, what I’m capable of, but most of all how to be social again (which is a really huge thing for me...the last couple of years have made me shy away from the rest of the world…I know this sounds cheesy, but for the first time in long time, I can honestly say that I’m happy. ?) I’ll try and describe some experiences in the next week.

So tell me, in the last 2 months, what have I missed?

p.s: My replies to you all might be a couple of days late. I won’t get my computer back until sometime next week (my parents brought mine for me and I’m using it now, but I can’t take it back with me on base. They’ll have to mail it to my tech school).

So…talk ;)


 
 

I'm obsessed with DIY. (especially the DIY and Crafts tab on Pinterest, oh yes)

Give me homemade anything!

Hobbycraft (a shop in England - don't know if it's international) is a bad place for me, every aisle is pure temptation for a craft addict like me.

Now I know there are some crafty ladies here.

I want you to show me your craftiness.

Give me handmade clothes, shoes, toys. Innovative decorating. Upcycling.

Do you bake cakes, show me them too!

Do you make money from your craftiness? Show me!!

Do you have any tips and tricks you've learned through your crafts?

I've had a crafty week, so I need people to share in my obsessions lol.

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours ;)
