My Obsession

 

April 2009,

I first read "The Hunger Games."

We were on our way home from Gulf Shores

and I finished it by the time we got home,

even in the midst of our car breaking down.

It was amazing and I was desperate

to get my hands on the next book.

September 2009,

"Catching Fire" was released.

I finished it the day it came out,

enthralled by Suzanne Collins

masterpiece.

August 2010,

"Mockingjay" was released

and once again,

was finished in a day.

June 2011,

I decided to re-read the series.

Each day, I finished one.

In re-reading them,

I rediscovered how

fantastic 

of a writer

Suzanne Collins is.

March 23, 2012,

"The Hunger Games"

will be released

as a film.

Guess who will be at the 

midnight showing?

 

Here is some more examples of my (and my family's) obsession:

December 2011,

my dad made shrinky-dink mockingjays

 Christmas 2011,

I got a Mockingjay necklace.

Whenever I hear someone say

"The Hunger Games,"

I start listening.

Whenever I see someone 

reading the series,

I get really excited for them.

I also desire to re-read them.

I really enjoy WinterSpringPro's video 

BRITNEY SPEARS - I WANNA GO "Hunger Games" (MUSIC VIDEO PARODY)

and have it stuck in my head a lot.

Here it is:

Enjoy!

Secret Santa

Our floor is doing 

Secret Santa.

Tuesday is something found day.

Wednesday is dollar day.

Thursday is note/drawing.

Friday is Anything Awesome day.

I would like to share my picture with you before I give it away.

I thought it was creative.

Happy Birthday Blacky

Blacky,

Twelve years ago

today,

you were born.

You were chosen to be our dog

and I loved you.

I still do.

It has been a journey,

but you still have your place in our hearts.

I hope that you know that you will always be cared for.

I love you Blacky.

Happy Birthday!

Paige.

Bowser

Dear Bowser,

You were such a precious puppy.

My heart is heavy today.

I can't believe that you are gone,

that I won't get to see you

as you happily run to me,

tug on your rope,

and cuddle in my lap.

I won't get to see you grow,

get your first haircut,

loose your first tooth,

take a walk in the woods.

I only was able to hold you for

two and a half days,

but you stole my heart 

the second I met you.

Goodbye is so hard to say.

I loved you Bowser.

I hope you knew that.

My heart aches for you.

You were to young to die.

I will never forget you.

Love,

Paige

Wikki Stix

Today,

There was a contest

to create something

out of wikki stix.

There are

THREE

size categories:

1 package

2-5 packages

6+ packages

Can you guess how many packages I used to create this?

***Hint: Each package had 8 stix***

 If you guessed 22 packages, you are right!

Now, hopefully I win an iPod or Campus Store Gift Certificate!

Mail!

Today,

I received my

first real

piece of

Mail!

Every day,

I walk past my 

lonely mail box.

Once and a while,

I get something from 

Calvin or,

even worse,

there is a package slip

or letter,

and I pull it out to find

it is for my roommate.

Today,

I got my

very own

piece of mail.

It was awesome!

Thank you Mom!

 

Love you!
