When I find things like this online, I suddenly feel very comfortable in my silly little world of “Only grown up in the physical sense”. Enjoy.
Losses = AwesomeSauce, Thanks to The Hunger Games
Well, this past week has been interesting on top of scary with a side of awesome.
It began with me losing my awesome job, which I love so much due to company budget cuts, which I now hate so much. I’ve never been laid off before, so it was a terrible/shocking feeling. I’d always thought that job was too good to be true, so I guess that’s why I haven’t been able to bring myself to mourn its loss for long. I can only hope there’s another one even half as cool somewhere on the horizon.
The bright side about all that, is while I’m looking for work, I have a lot of free time to write. I’ve been able to work with a special friend from my writer’s network on editing and developing my finished novel as well as bouncing ideas around as I continue writing my second novel. This has rocked, and it’s an opportunity of a lifetime. I’ve sworn to myself not to squander it, and I’m doing a good job at that so far. I’ve made leaps and bounds of progress, progress I never would have been able to do without the extra time I have now. So, thanks for that silver lining, universe! Now…to keep from going hungry while I’m waiting for Santa to bring me another job.
However, the part of all this that has been pure, unadulterated awesomesauce is the release of the trailer for The Hunger Games movie! I’ve been stalking like half the cast on Twitter and their own blogs and websites. I used to be able to actually communicate with my favorite characters from the film like Alexander Ludwig (Cato) and Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh), but they’re fast becoming hot commodities and even faster becoming largely unavailable to the public. They’ve been nice enough to post a link here and there, and between them and the fan sites, I’m keeping up on all things Hunger Games and so far. The film promises to be a hell of a ride! Whaaaat? Don’t believe me? Fine, be that way! See for yourself!
See?!? TOLD YA!! You’re gonna watch it again now, aren’t you? *wink*
