Curious Cat

(written Saturday, but Tumblr was being whack so I’m only posting now)

So I’ve pretty much been MIA for the past 2 days (except for Mikee’s house and condo Friday night with Tors, Mon, Cym, and Tam to watch Scott Pilgrim, and my shopping spree this afternoon). The reason being that I’ve been reading the Hunger Games series nonstop.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Stop reading here, if you don’t want the book to be ruined for you.

Random reactions:  At the end of the 2nd book, Catching Fire, I was left with a huge feeling of disappointment, only because the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, started acting all Twilight-y. Bella-like, along the lines of “he’s gone now so I might as well be dead. Everything’s my fault, I hate myself, I hate everyone…” blah blah. Things took a turn for the better in the third book, I suppose, because she realized that although many have died, the world was transforming into a potentially better place on the whole.

I can’t believe she ended up with Peeta, though. I can’t believe Gale turned out to be the shallower character of the two. It was just so romantic an idea, that after all the years Katniss and Gale spent together as best friends, that they’d end up together become home was each other. Blahh.

This repost below is something that inspired me, somewhat, but confused me a lot, too :| The advice is not exactly easy to follow, but I love his wit:
