O-M-FREAKIN-G!!!!!!

People! I just saw Hunger Games. And let me just say.... AMAZING!!!!

So I'm sure y'all are like..."C'mon son! It's probably not even that good!"

Well let me assure you.. It is. Let me take you on a brief journey of my experience with this Hunger Games phenomenon.

About two months ago, the law school was abuzz with people going on and on and on about this Hunger Games "thing." Now I am not usually easily pulled into "hype," so I just keep going about my daily business ignoring the Hunger Games chatter. Plus, my brief was just beginning and so I was focusing "hard" on getting that together. (For more information on the required 1L law school brief.)

A few weeks later... we were coming up on the due date of our brief and my friend J (also known as Juicy) had the NERVE to be reading a book... for pleasure... in the library... at the very first table!!! And what was it you might ask?! None other than Hunger Games!!!! The nerve of her to be reading a book for pleasure in the library in front of all of our faces DAYS before the brief was due.

(Sidenote: For those of you wondering why this is such a big deal... This brief is usual 40-55% of your total grade for the required 1L Legal Research & Writing class. People stress over the particulars of this assignment and most usually spend right up until the minute it is due working on perfecting it. No one has time to really do anything other than work on the brief. So much so that come brief due date... people are skipping entire classes and days of school just to work on. Soooo.... it's pretty much a big deal.)

Anywho... let's just say J's little stunt had people glaring at her in the library as they walked by. And Twitter and Facebook were aflutter with comments about her nerve!!!

Fast forward to earlier this week. Yet another Hunger Games discussion was going on and people were talking about how they were going to be at the midnight screening and all of this hoopla. I again was just waiting for this conversation to end. But today around 9pm, J texts me to see if I wanted to go see Hunger Games. Having nothing else to do on a Friday night... I obliged. Mind you... the entire time I was giving her a hard time and saying that "For all of this hype, this BETTER be the BEST movie I have ever seen in my life."

I got to the theater... bought a ticket and had to wait in these ridiculously long lines AFTER purchasing the tickets just to get a seat. So I continued to say how good this movie better be.

PEOPLE!!! By the time I left the theater... I was already asking her to borrow her Hunger Games book. They made a believer out of me! The movie was freaking amazing. When the characters were happy, I was happy. When they were scared, I was scared. Shoot, I was nervous the entire movie like I was apart of the Hunger Games!!!

I know I'm getting long, so I will end this by saying... go see Hunger Games! You won't be disappointed!

Until later!!!!
