Hey there y'all, sup dudes?

Right, now that I've gotten my California and American South out of my system...

HI.

So I have filmed a reaction video to the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, but it is about 19 minutes of footage to go through and edit, that I really don't feel like because family is here. I will post it later this week.

Courtney I'm so sorry I didn't call you back, there was a moment of panic where we'd mistakenly thought we'd left my aunt and her boyfriend at the airport for two hours, so I forgot to call.

Kat, Courtney and I have a punishment for you, but I'm not going to announce it, because I don't remember exactly what she and I decided on.

I read the first book of the Hunger Games this week, I am buying the second tomorrow, and my other friend is letting me borrow the third. The first book was absolutely amazing and I really wish that I'd managed to pick it up before hand.

See, the thing is that I tend not to like fantasy/sci-fi/post apocalypse books in general, they don't ever seem to interest me the right way. The fact that my favorite books over various periods in my life being Fantasy brings about the point that you're either a hit or a miss with those types of books. The best ones mesh together normal life with something so extraordinary or thought provoking that it is good. So I really wish that I'd read this series before the third book came out.

You know, it's really interesting to go into a grocery store with people from England. My aunt (not her boyfriend, who basically only eats cheese pizza) absolutely lit up anytime that she saw food that she liked. And they kept pointing out the differences in marketing (England is marketed like everyone is an old person, while we market to children), and coloring of some specific brands. I asked my aunt if she thought it was funny how they always visited for thanksgiving, and she tells me she plans it that way on purpose because she loves American food.

Also really interesting piece of knowledge their house is old enough that it has an outdoor toilet (as well as the indoor one). It also sounds absolutely tiny in a ridiculous way. The only city I would ever consider living in is Seattle. But otherwise I could never do it because I like having big open houses. Suburbia drives me mad in some ways, but overall it's my best fit.

Oh, and this week for a French field trip we went to the Aliance Francaise and made french food and watched a french movie. I learned how to make truffles, and not that you would be included in this, but people that I was putting on the chopping block for Christmas gifts due to costs of shipping are now probably going to get truffles from me.

I could probably spew on for ages about this week, but I think I'm done for now.

T. T. F. N. Tah Tah For Now! =)
