May the odds be ever, in your favor.

Last night was fun!

I met up with Katie, Michelle and Frank to see The Hunger Games last night! It was so much fun! They recently remodeled the AMC theater in our area, so now all the seats are recliners. They're super comfy, but they have less seats than the other theater I usually go to. It was fun, but I prefer the Regal's opening night better. They just seem to be more organized. 

We went to TGI Friday's, it was close to the theater and we could keep an eye on the lines. We had a good time chit chatting and eating. It was a rather late dinner, 9:30 but I'd rather be full during the movie. It was The HUNGER Games after all lol! The line was FULL of tweenies and young adults. I couldn't believe how many teenage kids there were! I know it's a popular and big movie, but on a school night?! It was hilarious, when we left everyone's parents were lined up outside to pick up their kids. Something I SO do not miss. Having my parents pick me up and drive me places. I'm sure they don't miss it either!

I thought the movie was good! It's definitely how I imagined it in my head, but if you didn't read the series you will totally miss out. I'm not completely sure how great the movie will be to people who haven't read the series. For me, I wish it was longer! Suzanne Collins hit on lots of strategies between the characters, something that you miss out on in the movie. I am totally Team Peeta! I'm secretly in love with him actually. Once you read it, you'll understand. That's real love, making life sacrifices. Although it wasn't ALL that I hoped for, it was so much BETTER than Twilight. I started watching the series, and now I feel obligated to finish it. To tell you the truth, I hate the acting in Twilight. I think it's too literal to the style in which the book was written. Stephanie Meyers makes such a  build up to the climax, and then BOOM it's gone in like two pages. Whatever.

I am seriously so obsessed with The Hunger Games, because I love her concept. I'm not sure if these teens reading it in school, realize what an impact she's trying to convey. It's about twisted politics, standing up and taking action. That YOU have the power to change your government. You have a right to stand up to injustices, and you have a right to be heard. One action, can ripple and effect greater than we realize. Even in the most difficult times, we still have hope. The only power greater than fear, is hope.
