KATIE FINALLY GOT HUNGER GAMES!

AND I FINISHED HUNGER GAMES! As in, the first one, of course. I have not yet started Catching Fire.

HUNGER GAMES SPOILERS

okay so here's what I thought of them. Overall, REALLY AMAZING. I mean, some of it was dragged out a bit, because Katniss is by herself, but usually that would only last for a few pages or so before something exciting happened. Collins definatly did a good job keeping it exciting and entertaining, even with only Katniss to focus on at some points. The whole time I read it, I kinda had an idea of what would happen. I thought, either Katniss wins or there is some kind of twist ending where more than one tribute comes out alive. Of course, I was right. I JUST KNEW IT! But either way, the whole book, I knew Katniss wasn't going to die...just because there are two more books, of course. But that didn't change the fact that I really enjoyed them and they were just so exciting and GAH I must start reading Catching Fire tonight!

Now then, with all books I always just HAVE to have a favorite character, especially with series, but to be honest I didn't really have a FAVORITE character that I immediatly attached to, which was one of the only problems I had and a bit of a disappointment. NOT HUGE, just a bit. I mean, in regards to the MAIN characters, Peeta and Katniss are cool and all, and it's not that I hate them or anything, I just don't love them. It's a mutual kind of thing. I mean, they're main characters, especially Katniss since she's the narrator, so you kinda have to like them a bit, and I felt like they had personalities and everything but...eh. I just don't love them. And then everyone else pretty much died before you could get used to them so...yeah. (I hope I'm making sense right now, I'm really tired and not really paying much attention to what I'm saying...) This is why I can't wait to continue the series, because I'm hoping to see some more build up on the other characters who weren't there in the Games, especially the people back in District 12 who we were only briefly introduced to like Gale and Prim. For now, just in Hunger Games, my favorite character is probably Cinna. I just love every time he shows up, he's quite awesome in my opinion. Then there's Haymitch...at first I disliked him a bit, but as the books continued and Katniss would always elaborate on him, thinking about what he would be saying right at the moment to her, I could just picture him sitting in front of his television or however he watched her as their mentor, shouting the same exact things she was thinking he was saying. So I suppose you could say, in a weird way because of that, I really ended up liking him too. (again, if that makes any sense....it's hard to explain. It makes sense in my head, okay?! I just like how he developed as a character, which made me like him a lot, I suppose is a better way to put it)

HUNGER GAMES SPOILERS OVER!

now then, in Harry Potter news....NEW MINISTRY OF MAGIC SONG OHMYGOSH I LOVED IT! that's really all I can say. SUPER AMAZING, as always I mean they ARE Ministry of Magic so everything they do is amazing. I can't wait until the album comes out, I will freak.

In other news....oh. No vlog again. Sorry guys. D: if any of you have seen my countless messages on facebook, referring to me having no electronics after six, it is for a reason which I can tell you guys later, I just prefer not to tell on here, free in the interwebbs. But I will rant and express my need to run away every other week and move in with each of you alternating, or SOMETHING just...urgh. It's frusterating. Especially because I miss you guys already. So if you want, I would love for you to call. I won't answer, no cellular device, but leave me a message and I'll listen to it in the morning when I have my phone again for school! It will totally make my day<33

But me and Megan and our friend Kelly whom is also in the skype chat now, just so those of you who haven't talked to her know, and possibly a few others are going to Wizarding World on Friday! (I hope I can go, at least. Most likely I will.) We'll be thinking of you all, and I'll bring my video camera so I can have a REALLY AWESOME vlog next week to make up for my lack of vlogging the last 2 weeks.

Miss you, love to you all! (Wish me luck on my geometry test tomorrow. *sigh*)

If I can't sneak a computer possibly on Saturday, I'll talk to you all on Sunday! <3333

OH AND I ALMOST FORGOT! THREE HUNDRED DAYS UNTIL LEAKYCON 2011!!!!!! EVERYONE JUMP AROUND, HAPPY DANCE!!!! 200's tomorrow, BRING IT ON!!!!!
