Hunger Games

Just watched the Hunger Games. It was hmmm. Okay. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't super awesome either. The whole time I felt like something was missing, besides some of the plot, which is inevitable. I had to bring my brother and his friend along with my sisters, and the movie is PG-13 for a reason, they were giggling and talking the whole entire time whilst munching popcorn really loudly! So annoying.

The movie had a few really good moments, but it was very rushed. The characters didn't have enough time to develop, and Gale literally had maybe 10 min. screen time. Josh Hutcherson was actually a pretty good Peeta and Jennifer Lawerence was a pretty good Katniss, but the movie felt a bit empty. It was missing the small details that gave it life, life Katniss' love for the lamb stew, the girl without the tongue, the mutated dogs with the dead tributes, the bread from District 11, etc. That I believe would have made it a bit better. Also I didn't hear many songs in the movie, like the Taylor Swift one. I really liked the training scenes though, the girl who threw the knives was pretty awesome, and Peeta's camoflauge was so realistic-freaky!

Rejection Hurts

Just found out I got rejected from 3 schools today, I really wanted to go to them. But my SAT scores were eh and my GPA is eh in comparisons to their averages. So sad. I know I am definitely getting rejected from my last 2 schools because they are super selective. So depressed right now. Gosh, I wish I hadn't applied to 5 safetys, and had more targets. Too late for that now.

Legend of Korra

I am so totally stoked for it to come out, April 14th. I loved Avatar: The last Airbender. It was amazing. Not anime, but better than other cartoons. At times it was a bit oriented towards kids, but it had such a powerful, dark, and serious theme behind it, it needed the lightheartedness. My favorite things have to be the bending, it was so beautiful animated, so great it was based off real martial arts moves. I even went to see the live action movie. It sucked. The only good thing was the CGI bending, that was cool. The cast didn't fit at all, and the acting was eh.

I actually saw the 1st episode, something about it being leaked or what not. It was pretty good, a lot of action. Very excited for what is to come. I like that she (Korra) already knows 3 elements. Katara looks just like Gran Gran, and Tenzen's kids are so funny. They all dress like Aang did. Can't imagine Aang as an old dude. Love the polar bear dog, so cute. Can't wait to see pro tournament bending.

Celine Dion=My childhood!!

Man, just listening to some Celine Dion songs on YouTube. I grew up on her (along with Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears). I miss this kind of music. The easy listening kind of music. No frills and techno or synthesizer or auto tune. Just pure talent and a great song. Such a powerful voice. Some people say she doesn't have a warmth to her voice (and maybe that can be true sometimes), but her voice is amazing (you've got to admit that). I mean for all those talent shows everyone does "My heart will go on" or "I will always love you." I miss these beautiful love song ballads.

Not the bubblegum pop songs that are repetitive or shallow as a kiddy pool. No offense, she's an awesome person, but Taylor Swift songs get really tiring sometimes. Can't she write about anything else besides love and boys? Those songs are fine, but she says it's songs that girls can relate to, but girls go through more that that. I mean seriously, songs like "Baby" (Hullo, the name?) I admit it's catchy (in a horrible way), and Justin Bieber does have a good voice, but can't he sing better songs? All those talent/singing shows have judges who say that the contestants have to understand the meanings behind the songs and convey the feelings behind the songs, but if it's a super shallow song, what is there to convey?

Also just wanted to update: addicted to this show, Make it or Break it. It's so awesome (a total emotional roller coaster because of all the drama). It's a little too dramatic, and I hate Lauren (such a conniving girl), and they all have their flaws as well that can really irritate me, but it's addicting nether less. Watched the 1st season in like 3-4 days. Yes, I should be doing my HW, but I can't help it. People keep asking me it must be great being a second semester senior, but there really isn't much a difference to me. I don't party, cut class, or any of that stuff. I just procrastinate a bit more, but still get things done. And I try not to stress out as much, but I'm still working hard!! I mean if you slack now, what are you going to do in college? It's going to be 10x harder and different, so it's like running uphill, if you stop halfway you'll slip down. You have to keep running to reach the top. It's the law of physics, gravity will win in the end. I'm just going to keep steam rolling forward. Aiming for straight A+'s this quarter (fingers crossed, it will be a first for me because I suck at math, but If I can just maintain my grades now I'm set). Can't wait until spring break.

College Decisions (for Regular) are coming out soon!!!! Nervous. Sorry this jumped from the Awesomeness of Celine Dion to well, me. :) ^^

Also I hate skim milk. It is basically watery milk (gross). Anyone else agree? Sure it's healthier, but Yuck! I dislike the taste of milk in general, but skim milk is grosser.

Wild at Heart

Arashi's new pv came out for Wild at Heart, Arashi's newest single! It's for Matsujun's drama Lucky Seven, which I love. This music video is really good, the best one in a while. I love when they do this happy music because it suits them and lets them show their personality and their adorkableness! Sad or ballady songs are nice, but it doesn't really fit them and the videos tend to be boring (ex: Hatenai Sora). This one is catchy and makes you grin. I still wish they would make a video with a plot instead of just dancing ones, but this one it really good. I can't wait to watch the making of. Please enjoy!!

They are so cute. I love the suits and the Disco outfits. So cute!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEAL! Fangirling. Sorry, please ignore the fangirl and watch this awesome video.
