Two in a day!

Yeah, two in a day. I feel like an obsessed blogger. Which I'm not. If my friend were here, she'd say, "The lady doth protest too much." XD But yeah. 

THE HUNGER GAMES WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Even though I knew what was going to happen, and I was waiting for it, this movie still shocked me. 
Rue's death, that made me cry. And I am not kidding here. I full out started sobbing. Luckily, I wasn't the only one.
Prim being selected and then Katniss volunteering, that made my eyes fill. Not enough to have them spill, but so close. 
I loved how they portrayed Effie and Haymitch, they got those characters to a T. The actor Effie looked frosted almost, but she still had an indignant and Effie type feel. And then Haymitch's actor, don't get me started. He was sarcastic, cocky, a little less drunk than I imagined, and he was Haymitch. Stunning. 
I loved Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, he captured the caring and friendly character well. He seemed like an uncle rather than a stylist. 
Katniss and Peeta's actors were great, they really captured the characters well, and they made the love story seem so real. 
I've also got to give credits to the actor who played Gale, because he had just the right air of "in the friend zone"(check youtube, it's by your favorite martian). And yet when you got glimpses of him during the movie, you didn't just see the pain he felt that the girl he loved was in an arena where she might die, you saw the pain of him losing the girl he loved to another. And the jealousy too. That just broke my heart. Plus, Gale's actor, he was sexy. Not sessy, just sexy. Very very sexy. ;) 
And it was the ending that really impacted me, when they locked Seneca Crane in with a bowl of nightlock berries, I was biting my nails. It was the perfect rendering for that situation, he failed and he had to accept it in the way that the games had failed, by eating the berries that Katniss and Peeta threatened to. The nightlock was just sitting there in a glittering glass bowl and it held so much symbolism. Overall, I think this ranks in my top five movies. And possibly my favorite movie I've seen in my entire life.

Speaking of my life, I think I'm bloody paranoid. Remember in my previous post when I was in history class. Well, towards the end of that class I got asked a curious question and got a very telling glance. 
Backstory: I'm going to Arizona as part of a trip. It's the first stage, so that I might be able to go to Mongolia this summer. And I'm so excited for both!
Back to the present: So towards the end of class, one of the other boys that's going on the trip came and asked me if I was going. I said yes, and he said awesome. I was wondering why he even asked until I looked across the room at one of his friends, who was looking at me. That look spoke volumes. Massive, catastrophic volumes. I can't deal with this! A long distance boyfriend, a crush on a best friend, and now(possibly) a crush on me! I could be paranoid, but I don't know. I really don't. Why is life so confusing? 
 One thing is for certain though, things will change after spring break. Oh yes...they will. Whether it will be for better or for worse, I don't even know.
