Team Peeta was busy today! Went to see Avatar 3D and Joe's Crab Shack for dinner with friends.
Heidi - You are awesome (when you're not bashing my love of all things Twilight)! That PSA is hilarious!
GO TEAM PEETA!!!!!

Team Gale DROOLS
LOL LOL LOL LOL
(I feel like I'm 12 again-lol) :)~"
Ha! Suck it Gale lovers. Peep - SURE you hubby is making your shirt tonight *wink *wink

Team Peeta rocks!
Still reading Catching Fire. I hate President Snow and the Quell. Not sure how this is going to end.

And it doesn't matter whose birthday it may or may not be... Team Gale will always be superior.

OMG! I am getting so mad at this book! Mags and the fog! I'm sitting at work with a huge lump in my throat. :(

See Shannen - I knew you would like this one just as much as the first book (take that Peep!)

I want to read it already! My friend is going to send me the UK editions but I don't know when he'll get around to that.

Serious eye rolling going on here. I was just in my rating! Just, I tell you!


I caved in Bluemoon! I have no self control. I put Incarceron on hold at the library! I am next in line. Ugh!

Sure...sure. The more you talk the more suspicious this whole thing sounds. p.s. if it is true, there is no way my husband would ever agree to do anything like that for me -- so kudos for him even agreeing to to do it.

I was telling him about the book and he kept giving me a crazy look. Trying to describe the games and the people, it sounded really silly coming from me. I don't know why I even trying to explain books to him.

Well Peep...in his defense...naps rock!
p.s. if you think it is hard to describe Hunger Games, try describing the Twilight series (especially Breaking Dawn) to someone who hasn't read it. I described it to my step mother and the more I talked the more crazy I sounded.

True. Sticking together makes us sound less crazy...right???

Finished Catching Fire last night. I really don't understand this Team Gale stuff. Seriously. Each book has maybe five pages dedicated to him.
With that said, I truly hate: President Snow, The Capitol and the Quarter Quell. I truly love: Peeta, Haymitch, Cinna and a few others (don't want to give anything away).
As far as husbands go, my hubby has read and liked the Twilight series and the Sookie Stackhouse series. I can't get him to read the Fever series which I think he'll love (very Buffy-ish to me) but I think he is going to relent and read The Hunger Games for me. :)

Oh Sheila he won't read any of my books. He prefers Christian classics, things like old sermons.
He certainly doesn't prefer the books I do, especially a romance novel - he thinks they're silly. In his defense, my descriptions never help though. But he's my honey and I love him!

Heidi we never encourage the naps!! *frown*

I didn't post a spoiler, Brittany did. I'm trying to be so careful not to. Maybe we can start a new thread with a huge heading that there are spoilers?

I too like Peeta and Gale - granted Gale is not in the books all that much but I think it goes back to the whole Joey/Dawson thing. (Yes I am using Dawson's Creek comparisons - not that they are anything alike in plot). They have been friends forever and I am always going to root for them to get together. In the end of DC Joey chose Pacy and I was okay with that but only b/c I watched the college years. If in Mockingjay Collins convinces me then so be it. I get Peeta like Katniss but why? Cause he gave her bread and she saved his butt in the games? He didn't really know anything about her - Gale does.

Ha! I always picture Cinna as a gay guy - like Christian Siriano from Project Runway.

My fav HP character is Sirius, I'm not infatuated with him either. I just love the character!
