Live!Blogging: book two of the Hunger Games

So, I kind of lied. I didn't actually live blog Catching Fire. I didn't have that kind of foresight. I did, however, harass my roommate repeatedly via email over the period of time when I was reading it and she was not in my immediate vicinity. So it's practically like live blogging. This is why I need ("need") a Twitter--so I can harass everyone with every thought that stomps through my brain.

Spoilers (and mildly naughty language) abound. But if you haven't read any of the Hunger Games, none of this will make sense anyway.

totally saw the fake pregnancy coming. that dress transition was bad-ass, though. cinna-rific!

okay so they're in the water arena and while i was initially startled by it now i keep picturing it like a round of mariokart and that makes it way less intimidating.

wait, wait, wait. hold UP. finnick just brought peeta back from the dead. that is so not the point of the hunger games. if your ally is already dead, you don't bring him back to life, you just say, "oh, well, tally-ho, guess i'll just steal his stuff now" and move on. finnick definitely has some kind of agenda beyond winning the games himself.

also, katniss, pull it together. i know you're "pregnant" but you're acting bella-swan-pregnant, not badass-katniss-everdeen-pregnant. get a grip, woman!

okay katniss, you and your fake supersonic left ear have redeemed themselves in my eyes. i retract my bella swan comment. it was a low blow.

"plutarch heavensbee might have already been given orders to knock us off."

bella, bella, bella.

"finnick asks a lot of questions about the rodent...how high was it, how long did i watch it before i shot, and what was it doing? i don't remember it doing much of anything. snuffling around looking for insects or something."

THE WATER IS IN THE TREES, DUM-DUMS!!!!

CALLED IT. i would totally win the hunger games. except for the part where i have to kill people.

"she keeps saying 'tick tock.' is she referencing plutarch's watch?"
"you're too smart for this book."
"that's a yes."

And then, lucky for you guys (but probably not for herself), Melissa came home, thus ending my need to email her my every thought. I'm sure she'd appreciate any and all tokens of thanks.
