I was part of the "12 tickets" sold per second..

I did not read the books.

I was most definitely a follower in the

desire to see "Hunger Games"

in its first weekend.

I believed all the hype.

Did I like it?

I loved it.

I have to connect with the movies I see.

There has to be some part that I can relate to.

The truth is I wanted to be Katniss Everdeen.

Doesn't everyone?

*She reminded me that Sisterhood sometimes

 requires strength and sacrifice,

which can cause pain and death.

*Loyalty can be hard, especially with family and friends. 

*Katniss always took responsibility for her actions.

She owned her situation? and knew when to work as a team

to save her life.

*We obviously noted throughout the movie

 that hard times, and surviving horrible odds can

build our character.

*Actions define us.. We don't need super powers but

should struggle within

 to always do the right thing

 for ourselves and for those we love.

I suppose they could have made this film much more violent.

 I am grateful that the relationships stood out to me more than anything.

 I wasn't disappointed.

Loved the quote:

"MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR"

PERHAPS that can happen by:

1.Knowing our strengths

2.Find a need, and offer the healing ointment.

3.Master the basics

4.Be yourself.

Yes, I liked the Hunger Games.

AND probably I'll be adding

 some gold eyeliner to

my make-up bag.

 I told you I was a

follower.
