I went to see the Hunger Games this weekend. Twice. Yep, it was just that good. I loved every minute of it. I thought the actors, sets, and the choices to leave out certain things were all smart and perfect. And I thought after seeing the movie I would get over my whole "everything I say or do reminds me of the hunger games" issue, but no, it strengthened it. For example:

1. me: "I'm gonna make a sandwich."
Hunger Games reference: sandwich=bread // bread=boy with the bread // boy with the bread=Peeta Mellark

2. me: "I'm gonna blog."
Hunger Games reference: blogging=computer // computer=electronic // electronic=District 3

3. me: "Okay guys, want to hear a joke?"
Hunger Games reference: joke=funny // funny=Jennifer Lawrence // Jennifer Lawrence=Katniss

Yeah, it's slightly unhealthy. I even wore this look to school on Thursday to honor the midnight premier :)

Have you seen the hunger games yet? If so, what were your thoughts?

the hunger games tag

With the grand premier of the Hunger Games movie in just ONE WEEK(!!!!!!) I've decided to honor the occasion by creating a Hunger Games tag! EEK! Here are the rules:

1. You must be an insane, crazy, die-hard fan of the Hunger Games to be able to do this tag.

2. If I tag you, you must make up your own question and tag as many fans I you can think of ;) Yep, that's pretty much it. So, without further ado, here are the questions:

1. Your sister's/brother's/best friend's name gets called at the reaping. What is your immediate reaction?
I would do anything for my siblings, without a doubt I would volunteer myself. That is the complete and honest truth. Though, I have to admit, I'd be bawling my eyes out!

2. In the training center, there are several different stations to practice your skills, some of them being how to camouflage yourself, archery, sword training, climbing, spear throwing, hand-to-hand combat (wresting), and agility. Which one would you head for?
My strategy would probably be to spend an hour at each station every day. Or work on what I was worst at, which would probably be wrestling. But then again, I've never exactly "speared" anyone ;)

3. You're in the arena and the countdown has just started. When the cannon goes off, what's your strategy?
I hope I'm not alone in saying I'd get the heck out of there. I would definitely run as fast I could away from everybody else. With any luck I'd be able just to hide somewhere and let everyone else do the dirty work...

4. You are feeling like you're being watched. You glance over your shoulder and sure enough, the youngest tribute in the Games is watching you. What do you do?
It would depend on what this tribute was doing. If he/she had a weapon at the ready I would either run away as fast I could , or get down on my knees and beg and cry. If he/she was weaponless, then I'd probably attempt prove to them that I'm a total wimp and try to make a new friend :)

5. There are only four tributes left in the arena, including you. What do you do?
Find somewhere safe to hide!

6. Which supporting character are you most like and why?
Gaah! This is hard for me, but I'm going to have to say........... geez, I really don't know! Probably Madge, just because she's loyal and trustworthy.

7. Which supporting character is your favorite?
Cinna. By far Cinna. Definitely Cinna. 100 percent, without a doubt, no question, Cinna. Hey, did I mention Cinna? Because I absolutely love him. Not sure if you knew or not.... ;) Rue is a close second though (as in being-a-millimeter-away-close second).

That's it! I tag:

Megan Kristine
Lauren
Jocee
Abby
Hope
guinevere
Olivia
Abby Moreland
Jessica
MaryRachel

And YOU if you're a Hunger Games fan :) If you do this tag, please leave a link to it in a comment, I'd love to see your answers!

a few sketches

Hey guys! Sorry for being all MIA for the past few days, I just didn't really have anything to post about :P But I do now! I've been drawing faces lately, and I wanted to share two of them with you guys.
First...

We have my attempt at Taylor Swift. I kinda like how it turned out, but there are several things I want to change. For instance, make the eyes a bit more even :P

And now, ladies and gents, I bring you:

Katniss Everdeen. I don't know if I've told you, but I am obsessed with the Hunger Games series, and I've watched the trailer for the movie at least a thousand times now.

I finished the third book last week and was so disappointed it was over.

If you haven't read the last book yet, do not read the next paragraph. It contains major spoilers!

Anyway, back to the book. I was sobbing my eyes out when Prim died. I was literally crying like a baby. And Finnick. Omigosh I can hardly talk about it! And honestly, I'm glad that Katniss and Peeta ended up together, but I never really got over the fact that Peeta went kinda insane.

Yeah, my heart still aches whenever I think of Peeta. He'll never be the same in my eyes. And neither will Katniss. Because she just didn't turn out how I thought she would. A mutt. Or partly one anyway. Geez, I'm getting depressed just talking about it. Don't get me wrong, I still am in love with Katniss and Peeta, but it's just so sad.

They'll never be the same.

But seriously, these books are definitely some of my favorites!

Okay, got that out! Did you like the hunger games?
