This past weekend was FAN-TASTIC despite all of the disorganization that occurred and certain people who like to give me headaches and anxiety attacks (you know who you are).
The weekend pretty much flew by beginning with going to see the premiere of "The Hunger Games" and ending with getting home at 1 a.m. (with the other cars trailing an hour behind us, it's not our fault they took the wrong turn!).
"The Hunger Games" was okay. I was disappointed. If you didn't read the books, you would be completely lost in the movie. I don't think they explained things well enough in the movie yet I enjoyed the commentary that was added (the parts where the commentator stepped in during the actual games) and the behind the scenes look at the Gamemakers. I did NOT like the actor who played Peeta what so ever. Peeta is also my favorite character in the books. The actor portrayed Peeta as weak and sappy. I agree he is weaker than Katniss but not to the point the actor played him. Every time Peeta was on screen I was completely discouraged. The relationship between the two was also weak.
Saturday morning, we finally left for NYC at 7:30 a.m., 45 mins after we were supposed to followed by at 6.5 hour trip with too many bathroom breaks for my liking. After arrival, we took the subway into NYC (first time ever! Don't worry, I've been to the city and now I'm a pro) and split off into groups to see different shows.
While other members saw "Seminar" with Alan Rickman, and "Newsical the Musical," my friend Louis and I sat ourselves down in the very front row to see "Wicked"thanks to the kindness of our friend John Adam who won front row tickets and gave them to us (I'm sure there will be a video up shortly of me crying after John gave me the ticket). Oh yes... it was recorded.

The next morning was filled with NYC adventures like visiting Ground Zero and the construction going on then it was off to "Memphis." I decided that Adam Pascal (Huey in the show) and I have decided that we are now getting married. <3
