You say that you agree, but the rest of your response confuses me. How is voting for a candidate because of abortion or healthcare (which is healthcare) issues something that you consider to be emotional? This IS an economic issue. My 3/4 of a man's paycheck will become MUCH smaller if it also requires me to house,…

I would LOVE to see the photos of an 80s prom-themed wedding! I also never knew how to respond to theme. I'd just say "...umm,. I don't think we have one."

HAHAHA! I also told everyone blue. I didn't even pick one. My dress was two blues and everyone else's dress was a blue. Who cares?! It shouldn't be as hard to pick the fucking color as it was to find your future spouse!

Sorry - so many exclamation points...but I meant every single one.

Thank you! I have actually been semi-avoiding Jezebel for a week due to all of the haterade they've been spouting. It was super fun! If someone can ruin the joy of The Sound of Music, it certainly wasn't Carrie Underwood! I, for one, cannot WAIT for this to happen!

I ended up getting engaged on December 1 last year. This was because my husband was using a family ring, which he picked up when we saw his family for Thanksgiving. Could this be part of the reason? All I know is that it's true that TONS of people get engaged around Christmas (facebook is always blowing up).

Well, the actress who played Liesl in the movie hurt her ankle, and they just loaded her up on painkillers and sent her into the gazebo to sing I am 16 with her favorite Nazi... so maybe they'd do the same here?

It is free to walk or jog, you just have to live somewhere where it is safe to do so. A lot of people don't.

The Hntrss13 Games?

This is so terrifying. I can't get coherent thoughts together except how very afraid I am that Hobby Lobby will be victorious and we will all be at the mercy of whatever wackos own the overall corporations we work for. This opens up the door to so much, and it is really hard to believe it is all because of a few…

Totally agree. The best part of Peeta, to me, is that he IS a softer guy. I thought the first movie did a great job of showing him juxtaposed next to Cato, who is such a brute. Who wants to be or be with Cato?

I am really wondering about how they are going to introduce the District 13 stuff. That is sort of hard to understand, and taking the building blocks away almost entirely really doesn't seem to help. I guess that's what they'll spend some time on since they get two movies for the last book, but removing this si one of…

YES! Thank you so much for clarifying this for me. He IS like a Gamekeeper. The best part of the end (in my opinion) is that while you are lead to believe that Katniss lacks all forgiveness (and honestly, I believed it and wasn't actually all that surprised that she voted for the games with Capitol children), she…

That's true. It does always make me wonder how far separated we are from having our own real-life Hunger Games to watch, and unfortunately I always think the answer is not very far. Although, I do think most people thought the Subway tie is was in really bad taste/makes zero sense, so that gave me a little bit of hope…

That's a really good point. I was glad though, that she actually chooses (although if she had chosen neither, I could have been on board with that too) instead of killing off one of the characters. I know a lot of people hate the ending of the series, but I'm not one of them. It is so smart to have Gale's apparent…

I reread all the books last week, and I agree on the physical pleasure front. She also has moments where she lets go of both Gale and Peeta thinking that either they are about to die or she is. Mostly I think what they say in the last book is correct, she'll pick whoever she needs to survive. And if she stuck with…

That's true, but I think it just makes me feel worse. Ugh.

Stanley Tucci deserves an Oscar for supporting actor for this movie. He is SO good! I'm sad there probably won't be as much of him in the last movies, but I'm just holding onto the picture of him inserting himself into the marriage proposal. I laughed SO HARD! He is amazing and wonderful, and they do a great job of…

No, I liked the first movie a lot, too. I don't think I realized how much everyone else hated it until this past week. I liked the second movie better, but I also liked the second book better, so I don't think that's too much of a surprise.

If opposites really attract, Katniss needs someone softer then herself. She is hard enough, and Gale only makes her harder. I don't get into the whole love triangle too much, but there is no point where she is a better person with Gale than with Peeta.
