April Fool's Day

I was downstairs the other day, sitting on the couch, reading a book, minding my own business. 

All of a sudden my sister walks up to me, stares at me for a few awkward seconds and then says:

Sarah: Guess what?

Me: ?

Sarah: Josh Hutcherson won't be playing Peeta in the next Hunger Game movies. He didn't sign the contracts. 

Me: .....

Sarah: *still continues to stare at me awkwardly*

Me: ......

Sarah: Did you hear what I said?

Me: ......

 Sarah: Erica?

Me:

Of course, it was only after the fact that I had begun to write a petition to keep Josh Hutcherson in the Hunger Games, wished all manner of terrible things upon the casting crew, and cried just enough to create a tributary to the Nile River that Sarah then said:

April Fool's!

Someone is not going to sleep easy tonight....

and it was...AMAZING.

My fellow friends and bloggers. 

As you may know, I have been awaiting the premier of the Hunger Games for quite some time. I have been fangirling like it's nobody business. And when the night of the 23rd arrived I was hardly able to contain my excitement. 

In order to properly celebrate the release of this epic film, I knew that I had to dress up. And dress up I did. Oh...we were legit...

Hannah, my little sister's best friend, accompanied me and Emily to the thrift store in attempt to find a "capitol" outfit. Emily found an amazing outfit for Katniss in the arena, and Hannah, well, you'll just have to check out the pictures to see.

I picked out an outfit for Sarah, braided her hair, and *BAM* she became Prim. I had Hannah curl her hair, then I put it up, spray painted it pink, and went hard to work on her makeup and *BAZINGA* we have Effie Trinket. Emily borrowed my boots and pants and surprisingly let me braid her hair. Complete with a bow and arrow *WHAM* Emily became Katniss in the arena. Sarah remembered I had the perfect dress to match Katniss's reaping outfit. I threw it on, quickly put my hair up in a braided ca-bobble and *WHOA* I was Katniss at the reaping. 

You guys, the movie was perfection. I rarely enjoy books being converted to movies, but I was not disappointed in the slightest. Sure, there were some things that I thought were missing (more PEETA!), and things that they could have done right (the giving of the Mockingjay pin), but in all sincerity, I.LOVED.THIS.MOVIE. And I will hear no crap from anyone on Peeta, a.k.a, Josh Hutcherson. His incredibly attractive jawline astounds me. I love him.

So..to all my fellow Hunger Game fans...

May the Odds be Ever in your Favor!

oh my gosh you guys...

The Hunger Games Movie comes out tomorrow....

TOMORROW

*breathe in and out Erica, slow, steady breaths*

holysmokesalmightyicannotwaitilovepeetaihopetheydothebookjusticeiamtotallydressingupaaahhh!

I just said that all really loud in one breath. Yes, that is how excited I am. 

Went to the thrift store to get my sister's Katniss outfits, and a couple of Capitol outfits too. Might I just say that they are totally legit. With a capital "egit".

This is going to be the highlight of my whole year. I am not joking.

For your entertainment (but mostly mine) I have provided fandom pictures below:

You guys. I think I might die.

so i'm kind of sort of freaking out...

I got Hunger Game tickets for an 8:00 showing on Thursday, March 22nd. Ya. You read that right. Connections, you know? FREAK OUT. 'Nuff said.

i love me some peeta mellark

So.....

I got home from work today and I found this:

Nothing, and I mean nothing is more exciting than coming home and finding mail, let alone a package full of goodies addressed to you. Okay, maybe Disneyland and Christmas are more exciting...but a package comes pretty dang close. And what was in this package may you ask? Oh, you know, just these...

Let us have a moment of silence for the awesomeness that these shirts are....*silence*...and thank you! Have I ever mentioned just how much I love me some Peeta Mellark? The boy with the bread? The Hunger Game series? And the fact that I can express my love for this fictional character ANYWHERE I go? It just blows me away. Oh by the way, have you seen Josh Hutcherson lately? The young man playing my fictional love Peeta? Check him out. No seriously, check that hotness out.

DANG. I'm not disappointed. At all. Hellllooo Mr.GQ.The only thing that would make life better would be casting Zac Efron as Finnick. Can you imagine the gorgeousness? *Sigh* But until then, I shall show my full and complete devotion for the boy with the bread.

p.s. don't think that I won't wear one of these two shirts everyday...just sayin'
