Real or Not Real?

Real.

I think those might be my new favorite words.

I just finished the Hunger Games Trilogy in a week, which is a world record for me.

Seriously you're looking (so to speak...) at one of the slowest readers ever.

 

I won't ruin it for those who haven't read them, but they are great books.

The titles are very fitting, along with the images.

Easy reads.

But amazing.

Suzanne Collins, my hats off to you.

Also to the people who made the movie.

I hadn't read the books at the time, so when I read the first one, I felt I was reading it for a 2nd time already. This cast is pretty great, I just hope they can live up to their characters in the next 2 movies.

I am proud of the directors for not screwing up the book and actually doing it justice.

I also wanna give credit to the people who cast these actors, they clearly knew what they were doing. 

In other news I am headed to California in 5 days and I cannot wait!
Also I get to see my family in 4 days!

Maybe it is mood swings, but I have been wanting to be and talk with my family ALLLL the time lately! I love y'all!

Expect HUUUUUUUUUUGE hugs in Friday.

Albert, expect them at work tomorrow.

Geez that was a lot of exclamation marks....

4 months from tomorrow I get married!

Sam called me Mrs. Bonds tonight.

I squealed with joy.

Matt B said he is going to start calling me that too.

I like it. 

 

Spelling "Bonds" in cursive is hard work,

good thing work gives me lots of time to practice. 

This week is going to be busy:

Writing a twelve page paper (half way done)

Passing of the Proclamation to the Family memorization

Take the Family Foundations Final

Science project

Clean the apartment

Pack

Switch apartments

California with GARETT =D 

I think I can do it. 

After all, I get to go to California for a week, that is enough to survive any week.

Read, read, read

Drink milk

Kiss Garett

Life is good

When You Forget Where You Are

Things can get pretty intense.

After seeing the movie "The Hunger Games" on a double date with my fiancee Garett (hehe) and my parents, I realized I MUST read the books ASAP. 

Not gonna lie, I was nervous to see the movie....kids killing each other...hmmm....tempting....

(You know you are cool (and old) when you are down for double dating with your rents. Honestly I kinda loved it! If we lived down in Centerville I think we would go on double dates with them more often.)

And so I downed the first book in 2 days.

 (surprisingly, since I am the slowest reader in the world, guess work has fixed that problem for me)

And now I am onto the 2nd one.

But I forgot how addicting they are...

So I kept saying "I will stop after this chapter" 

(5 chapters later...hey that's impressively short right?)

But the thing is, every chapter ending is a cliffhanger, and not one kind that can be ignored.

These cliffhangers are more like, when you remember to put down the book you are gasping for air, and your heart is racing, until you remember the story is NOT real.

But I guess that is how you know it is a good book. 

When you have to remember the difference between book and reality.

Anyway, go read um, if you have read um, read um again.

I am off to bed, though this book on floor next to my bed is quietly calling my name.

9 hours.

9 hours and I will pick up "Catching Fire" and return to District 12 and freak out and panic with the rest of the people. 

Oh morning, please hurry!

Sweet Dreams world!

Be nice to phone research people,

they hate their job more than you do

I promise!
