And of course the main characters from the 1st book, you can look at them HERE. From my last blog post. 


So reading the Books and knowing it is set in North America I had to draw up a map of where I thought the 13 Districts were. So this is what I think and why I put them there. 

District 1 is one of the wealthier districts of Panem and is known for luxury items so why not put it in one of  luxury part of the united states, southern California and Las Vegas.

We find out a lot about District 2 in Mockingjay. It is close to the Capital and is in a mountainous area. 

District 3's main industry is electronics so put it where they could have factories. 

District 4 are fishers. So if course the gulf of Mexico. 

District 5. We know nothing about District 5. So I just put it where ever. 

District 6. Again we know nothing. So it is where I want it. 
And I was also thinking the Capitol would want to put the districts that don't produce the really important things in a place further away from them and in harsh not ideal places. 

District 7 is known for lumber, so I thought where are there a lot of trees and I thought of Washington State. 

District 8 is known for textiles and with that cotton. So I put it where you could grow cotton. 

District 9. Nothing. So just put where on one was. 

District 10 Livestock. What better place then Montana, North and South Dakota? 

District 11 provides food for pretty much everyone, well mostly the Capitol, so they had to be huge and cover all the places where you could grow fruits, grains and veggies. 

District 12 we know is in the Application Mountains and is known for coal mining, so I put it in Virginia area. 

District 13. We know you have to go "through" 12 to get to 13 so naturally it is above 12 in the New England area.  

The Capitol it is in the Rockies. That is really all that is said about it. So the Capitol is in Colorado. 



Ok if you have not read Mockingjay you should probably stop here. I am going to introduce some new characters.

I know I am super obsessed. But now that the books are done and this post is done...you won't hear too much from me about it. Well until they come out with the movies. 


So let me know what you think. Who did you picture? 


And some thoughts on Mockingjay. I was a bit disappointed. I mean it was a great thrilling story, but it was too much from Katniss's point of view and she was knocked out way to much to understand what was going on. I was mad at the deaths of Finnick and Prim. WHY, WHY, WHY? The ending was too sudden, there was not enough of a sense of healing. Peeta..sigh...what can I say about the whole Peeta story line? It was crazy and a good twist, but he needed to twist back more...fight harder, something. I so wanted to hear them exchange more, I wanted to hear the line "Stay with me" "Always" line at the end, I wanted Peeta to see the propo where Katniss talked about the bread. I wanted more of the "boy with the bread".  It just ended so sudden...and with Katniss being dormant and catatonic again...I was not a huge fan of that. 
So I mostly liked it, tons of action and great story, but it fell flat.

Life goes by so fast...

I don't know what has happened to time, but it is all of the sudden a speed daemon. I was just doing the pageant right? Well from then until now a lot has happened....I went on a road trip to San Diego, got pulled over and a speeding ticket, lost my favorite pair of sunglasses boating, and also couldn't sit for a week because of that same boating trip, I went to education week (my boss is one of the most amazing woman ever), my car broke down (still don't have Suzi, life has been hard without her, musical cars in no fun), I got a jury duty letter in the mail, went on some dates, saw 3 movies with 3 different guys (Despicable Me in 3D, I had to focus very hard so I didn't get motion sick, Knight and Day, and The Other Guys), made the duded that threw me from the wave runner boating, that resulted in me loosing my sunglasses buy me new ones, had very CASA related duties, died in a movie, and was a 'chick friend' in another, decided I am going on a strict spending diet now...no now....NOW I am....went to the midnight party for Mockingjay, and kicked at the trivia and had a nice discussion about the casting and bought 2 books, (now I am really going on a no spending diet) and finished reading it (yes it came out yesterday), more on that later when a few more people have actually finished reading it...So that is what I have been up to for the last 3 weeks. Crazy, Life please slow down and while you are taking requests please give me a Peeta.

That is all.

I want...

Yesterday we had a very different RS (Relief Society) Lesson at church. It was good, insightful, fun and all that. It was about preparing for the Golden Years. Pretty weird for a singles ward. But it was a really good lesson. I got me thinking about all the things I want to do in my life. I have also been preparing for the Miss AF pageant...and the Monologue I am doing gives voice to some of my fears.... there is a line in it that says..."The problem with marriage is that men want to give you the world, but it has to be the world they want to give you, and what of all the other worlds outside the window? I know I can't do everything but it is important to try!" And I believe that. I want to do so many things. I want to travel...all over! 


India is next on my list of places to go....

I also want to go to Cambodia, Romania, The Czech Republic, Russia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Brazil, Japan...All over. 


I want to take dance lessons, ballet. 

I want to learn to read music. 
I want to take voice lessons. 
I want to learn to play the cello. 



I want to learn American Sign Language...and become fluent. 

I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. And drive it cross-country. 


I want to take a painting class. 
I want to take a pottery class. 
I want to learn to can.
I want to take cooking classes. 
I want to learn how to golf. 
I want to learn to ride a horse. 


I want to learn to fence. 

I want to learn to Box. I don't want to fight anyone, but I want to train and learn how to and have all the equipment. 
 


I want to take a Karate class. 




I want to do all of these things. I want to find a loving man that wants to do all of these things with me. I want a man that loves life as much as I do. That wants to explore and learn and experience. 

Most of all I want to fall madly deeply in love.

Things that always make me happy

Yesterday I had a pretty crappy day...I ended up crying from stress and frustration. I needed some happy...the things I turn to when I am happy are...

Hugs


Like this.....

Or from a guy like this....

Something else that ALWAYS makes me happy....

Food. 


Like soup

Or




Pasta...angle hair. 

And some kind of sugary treat....Last night I went for one of these....



A starbucks Caramel Apple Cider...

But this really makes me happy too....



A molten chocolate cake... salivating. 


But the thing that makes me the most happy is when people care. When people actually care that I am feeling bad and want to make me feel better. Or when people see that I am having a hard day or am upset and help me with whatever I am doing or console me. That my friends is what makes me the most happy when I am having a bad day...

And yesterday I had a few people do that, my wonderful little sister...and my good friend. She call me right when I was at my breaking point and she gave me a good friend hug, she fed me and took me to get starbuck. That is happiness. That is what I needed. And I am very thankful to her! I am so blessed to have wonderful friends.

We need more people who care in this world. I think the world would be a truly wonderful place if people actually acknowledged that you were having a bad day and helped you out...I mean you don't need that every once and a while? We all have bad days. We need to be more caring, understanding and thoughtful.
