Yesterday was the day..

Hunger Games day.

I havnt talked about the Hunger Games much online..

because I didn't want people to feel bad about how I am more of a die hard fan..

But now i feel the time has come to share my Hunger Games heart with you all..

I read the books before I moved to England..

that would be over 2 years ago now.

I know.

Told you..

real fan over here..

I worked for a family in Laguna beach for over a year..

they had three teenage daughters..

the youngest being 12 when I started.

It was, to this day, the best job i've ever had..

I hung out on their private beach,

drove their golf cart and cars,

gossiped with the girls,

borrowed their clothes,

went to the movies,

ate fro-yo almost every day,

and read almost every book on the 12 year olds shelf.

We would go to barns and noble and just browse the teen section.

It's how I stumbled upon Twilight..

And then later..

The Hunger Games.

I am a sucker for tween fiction.

I cant stop myself.

Needless to say..

I LOVED the film.

Thank you hollywood for picking actors that can actually act..

::side eye Twilight casting director::

Stephen was hesitant to go after the fiasco that was his first Twilight movie experience..

(he still hasnt forgiven me for that)

But he loved the Hunger Games.

And thus concludes my public display of affection for the Hunger Games.

*on a totally unrelated note, there are some new pieces up in the shop..some limited edition. Take a gander.
