Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Story time before the actual review! Yay! :}

So I went and saw a double feature of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire last Thursday, and at the end, when my friends and I were just standing around waiting for the lights to come on, I heard the beginning notes of Atlas by Coldplay, which is on the Catching Fire soundtrack. And I fangirled and danced a bit and sang quietly to myself right there in the middle of the almost empty theater.

This was so me.

So I was all "OMG I MUST BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK AND LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL I HATE IT". Well, not really...but that was the general idea.

I finally got around to looking up the actual soundtrack on Youtube and this is the best album ever to be released in the history of everything.

In my opinion. *cough* Anywaaaaaaays...

ISN'T THIS THE BEST THING EVER?

So. The soundtrack. I'm gonna talk about it. Yeah.

I am definitely buying this, so I guess that says something in itself. 

Even songs by people I generally don't listen to (read: Mikky Ekko and Christina Aguilera) were songs I loved.  There were a lot of bands I hadn't heard of that I fell in love with, so that's good. Or bad, considering the amount of money I spend on music already...

And this is my final opinion on this soundtrack:

Precious....yessss this is my precious yess...we will buys the precious, yesss we willl....

Until next post!

Randomness: The Importance of Lovely Backgrounds

I changed my blog a bit, got a new background, and such.

I love backgrounds.
I don't know why.
This is my desktop:

This is my  lockscreen:

What about you? Background nut like me? Or just whatever came with the computer?

It's the Circle of Inspiration (aka never ending plot holes...)

    Disclaimer: This post is full of fandom gifs. Proceed with caution.

So. Inspiration, aka that feeling where you go from this:

 To this:

I don't know about you guys, but I generally leap up from wherever I am and find my laptop and starting writing. And I'm very excited, so I start picturing what this beautiful thing I'm creating is gonna be like when it's famous and I'm super rich and everyone knows my name. And I have a couple of movies out depicting my life story.

I've been working on this for a little while when I reach a plot whole and I don't know what to do. At all. So I sit at my computer and look like this: 

And this:

Also this:

But then I have this really good idea for a scene that's like 10 chapters later, so I leave the plot hole for now and start writing the Scene.

I look at the clock and crap it's 3 am already so I close down my laptop and go to sleep looking like this:

Flash forward and it's the next morning. I get up, get dressed (possibly), eat breakfast, and pull out the laptop to work on the next Great American Novel and I'm stoked for this, 'cause it's a great idea. Really.

I stare at the screen for a few minutes, hoping that inspiration will come. It doesn't. I look like this:

And as much as I may want it to, I just can't write anything. I don't even understand what I wrote! So I close out the document and leave it to collect virtual dust in the farthest corners of my computer. And then a while later I'm looking for something on my computer and see that story, and I open it up because it was actually a pretty cool idea (either that or I completely forgot about it and just wanna know what this weird document is).  And this is my face:

And then the cycle begins all over again...

I actually haven't done that with what I'm working on right now (yet o.O)...but other attempts at writing? I have 1000+ Word documents on my old computer to prove it to you. So, what about you guys? Tell me in the comments!

Later nerds. :)

What is this thing anyways?

Good question.
This is my blog to ramble about stuff. More specifically, reading and writing stuff.
I read...a lot. So, I thought I'd make a blog or something to post reviews and such.
I also write, so this is also to post updates, keep myself accountable, and rant and squeal about my characters.

Lesson 1 about me: I will take any opportunity to use GIFs of the Cumberbatch.

I'll post at least once a week, maybe more, depending on how inspired I'm feeling, and if I have time.
Adios, peeps. (see, this is what happens when I attempt to be cool. Fail.)
