The Hunger Games etc.

First of all, j'ai lu les jeux de la faim et j'aime le roman beaucoup. However, I am a little bit iffy about all the attention that the movie is getting especially cuz most of the people who are so excited haven't even read the book. I have problems with those people who claim that the movie is better when they haven't even read the book. Just like my friend who doesn't want the book to ruin the movie so she's not reading the book till after the movie. What is wrong with you?!?!
This whole excitement about the movie reminds me of twilight. The books were really good and then the movies came out and they just ruined everything for me. Now I can't read the books without seeing the characters that they casted for the movie, that is not cool since I think those people failed miserably. So now I'm feeling in the middle about Hungery Games. On the one side, I really want to see how they interpreted the book and which parts they put in and which they left out. On the other side I have a really good image of what goes down in the book in my head and I don't want to ruin that. The Hungery Games is also not a low budged film like twilight was so there is hope that it will be super awesome.
In a week from today it's my birthday and my friend is going to take me to go see the Hunger Games the night before cuz we don't have school on Good Friday so I won't have to be home super early to get lots of sleep for school since there won't be any.
I asked for three books for my birthday (The Alchemyst [The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel], Catching Fire and Mockingjay) and 1/2 of birkenstocks. I made sure to make a birthday list that didn't involve a lot of expensive or unrealistic things like a giraffe or a plane ticket to France. Books is the only thing I want apart from birkenstocks but as those are expensive I only asked for half.
Also the other day I went over to my friends house and we sat on her couch and took all the Sarah Dessen books of the shelf to discuss. I'm so glad I have a friend who enjoys books as much as me cuz without that I don't know who I would talk to about the exciting events that occur amongst those beautiful pages.
Also, I greatly recommend that all of you out there read The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott cuz they are just super awesome. My 13 year old cousin was the one who got me started reading those and now I have all of them but the first one and the one that's supposed to be coming out soon.
Finally, this weekend I'm going to see my school!! There is an open house that starts tomorrow morning and goes for about 2 hours. I get to tour the campus that I'll be at and then the residence and what ever else. Tis going to be wonderful!! :)
All for one and one for all! This is t-bear signing off.
