Hunger Games!!!

Loved it. Kinda

Yep, I saw the Hunger Games. It was quite good, but not OMG-I-FREAKING-LOVE-IT good. Just, you know, good. (Yep, the postcard is random, but I got it whilst waiting for my friends in front of the cinema. I think it's cool. I just love quotes. Quotes are cool. I so want to build a quote wall, but I need to find a load of pain non-treated card postcards (pretty specific, hun?) so, it you know where I could find some them tell me. And yes, I'm going more into holding things, but I just can't draw lately. And yes, this is becoming once a week, and I should really get into the main part of the blog, becasue this is more end stuff. I'm so sorry if this is boring.)
So I saw the Hunger Games movie. We actually went on the day it came out (then what took you so long to blog. A: GCSE's. Gosh, I have so much homework Y:... A: Moving on). I actually went to the dentist first and got in a bit of a fight with her. Not going over why, but it was a draw.
So I saw the movie at 5: something. It was really good. Not as good as I hoped it would be, but it's true(-ish) to the book, and it shows some things they'd need for the sequel and my favorite bit was with Seneca Crane, towards the end. I know, probably not the best, but it was so good. I'm totally not going to put any spoilers here. It fits in the story, both in the book and movie, and the roses made me go Alice in Wonderland (not related), but kinda. For people who didn't work it out (ie, me) he's the guy with the awesome beard. I just love his beard. It's cool, I could write a blog about the beard, well probably not.
Also the way they treat Rue is just so perfect. I cried a few tears, just gentle, caused by both by the flowers and also what happened after. It was just so beautifully done, and kept to the story, but was still unique.
But, tbh, it wasn't amazing. It seemed a bit slow in places, especially at the start (or was that just me?) and ALL of my favorite lines were missing, and scenes, and they made the ending... THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!!! Well, it was, kinda, but no, it wasn't. I don't know. Your opinions. ?
But that was my second date. Poor guy never finished the book, so he missed all the awesomeness and eugh... They missed the mutations near the end (well, ok they were there, but not the omg-so shocking, just normal muts) and the part that made me cry in the hospital with Peeta (come on, you can't really tell, well, you can. Sorry) and Stay Alive. They missed Stay Alive!!! I loved Stay Alive. Perfect Katniss though. Loved her. Jennifer Lawrence did such an amazing job, and she's still young, but totally felt like Katniss to me.
And... Ok, too much relationship moi blogs. I'll stop.
Dr Who. Sometime soon. I hope. I need to.
Oh, and I love eyes open by Taylor Swift. Disappointed that none of the songs from district 12 or beyond made it in, but whatever. It's like Almost Alice with the Alice and Wonderland movie right?

The 21st Centaury is when everything changes

That’s the famous quote from BBC’s Torchwood. And you know what, they’re right. But not because of the aliens, or the end of the world. The 21st Century is when a man can become world famous almost over night, with just a few clicks. We’ve all seen the power of the internet. It brings us talking dogs, our favourite songs, instant movies. It lets us talk to someone hundreds of miles away. But recently, people have begun to truly harness the power of the internet. This Christmas just past, a practical unknown got to number 4 on the official Christmas day charts. Alex Day, aka Nerimon, has gathered over the past 6 years has around 500,000 subscribers on YouTube. He made chart history by encouraging them to by his single “Forever Yours” and became the first unsigned artist in the top 40.
In London and other major cities in the UK, riots were organised on Twitter and Facebook, leading to losses of £100 million in London alone. These surely would have not been possible a mere 10 years ago, back when no one had ever even heard of Facebook or YouTube, when Twitter wouldn’t even exist for another four years. Yet now many of us can no longer imagine life without any of these devises.
Of course, like anything, the internet can be used for good and bad, as shown above. The 2011 Arab Spring was defiantly fuelled by the power of social networking sites. People who were too scared to raise their voice before found the freedom to do so by the internet. We can now bring leaders to their knees with the right video, the right status, the right tweet. By the end of this year, we shall truly being to understand the true power of what we’re going through.

The 21st Century is when everything changes

no eyeliner, Hunger games, books and a little of my life

... So instead I used nail varnish and pen.

So the infinity symbol I'm just in love with. Because it's clever and meaningful and simple. The butterfly is because I was thinking last night if I ever get a tattoo I might need one with a little colour. And I've just drawn so many butterflies this week because of art and I think they're awesome. Plus, apparently their in fashion.
I realise this is becoming a few random pictures that aren't really related, but my life's becoming interesting. And there's nothing on TV. I finish the Hunger Games though, and I'm so desperate to read the sequel (Catching Fire) but I have to borrow it off my friend who a) lent it to my other friend (I don't care, I can wait) and b) has this weird thing about not bending the spines of books. Now that annoys me. Books are meant to be read and enjoyed, and a side effect of doing that is the fact they get creased spines and a little bit messy (well, in my case, quite a bit messy) but that's a sign it's being read and enjoyed. The last time I burrowed a book from her I got so scared a tiny crease will appear so I never read it. But I did manage to find it in a charist shop (Cat among the Pigeons by Julia Golding, the old covers were so beautiful).
Anyway, I loved the hunger games as a book, and I'm super hyped over the movie. 23rd march cna't come fast enough. I've seen the trailer so many times (there's a lot of italic so's this blog) and I have done that thing where you go and look up any blog related to it. Very hunger games obsessed, because it's such a good book, and yeah! Oh, and don't you just love Safe and Sound? It's not Taylor's normal style, but it's more folk/country so more to her roots, which I lvoe. Plus it's kinda depressing and most of my favorite songs are depressing. I'm nto going to say anything about it in case of spoilers, except, well, I struggled to imagine Effie in the book, she ended up looking a lot like Rita Skita to me, just dressed Lady GaGa-ish/ bitchy fashion show way, and admittedly, Elizabeth Banks is not how I imagined her, just to get a proper vimage of her is so helpful and I really hope she'll do a good job. I've seen her in a few movies, and she seemed ok, (I know, aren't I annoying, not talking at all about Peeta (how do you say his name?) or Katniss or Gale or Rue but anyway, I think they're all going to be brilliantly cast.) I'll tell you one thing, I really love the name Katniss now. What do you think?
Oh, and I've been watching way too much what the buck (seen him? No? Go look him up on YouTube now) and, oh, you know I wrote a blog about that guy last week. We're a coulpe now).
