FoxFace

Here's a Hunger Games Fanfic I wrote. :) you'll need to have read at least the first Hunger Games to get it probably. :)
It's from the view of FoxFace, the female District 5 tribute. I didn't finish it. :D

FoxFace
I will not kill people. That is not who I am. I'm no good at it anyway, I am a small and weak girl. However, I am good at sneaking, stealing, and hiding. I am cunning. Not strong, stealthy. I do not think I will win these games. But I will try. All I want is to return home to my older brother, Rob, whom has short, orange hair like mine. He has my father's eyes though- green like a lake. Mine are ice-blue, rimmed in a line of deep, but not rich in color, blue. I am not impressive. I'm not strong, particularly beautiful, or charming. My poor stylist. I was dressed as, well I'm not sure what it was.  The crowd did not notice me. They only noticed the district twelve tributes. I watched the girl. I see in her a semblance of me, but with more stubbornness and secretly, more hurt. She is quiet. Quiet is a sign of hurt. She hides something, I can tell.

As I train in the tribute center, I continue to watch the girl. I've developed a bit of an obsession with her, I suppose. She does not think that she is beautiful. She does not know that she is strong. I watch her. She hides her skill; I believe that it is something with a bow and arrow. She will glance at the other tributes trying the bows and smile as if she knows something they don't. Which of course, she does.

I hurl into the porcelain potty with all my might. I repeat this process three times. How weak of me, I think, to be puking out of nerves before the games. Well, nerves and all the Capitol food. What if I die tomorrow? Who knows, maybe I will. The male tribute from my district walks in. He sees me there, leaning over the toilet. He makes a bit of a tsk tsk noise and helps me up. I know him. He's seventeen, barely six months older than me. I have the misfortune of still holding the title, "sixteen" though. He has chocolate brown hair that's long, but not too long (modeled after Percy Jackson/dude in 17 again/dude in warm bodies) and nice, sea colored blue eyes that always twinkle mischievously, but give off a comforting warmth. I'm embarrassed to be found in a moment of weakness, especially when he seems fine, and is helping me even! "Aren't you nervous?" I ask him after weakly thanking him for helping me. He laughs lightly, "Yes! In fact, I envy the fact that you were able to empty your stomach! Mine just spins in circles." Now it's my turn to laugh. "What strategies did Johanna give you?" Johanna is our mentor. I've always secretly admired her. She used trickery and female wiles, to some extent, to win the games. Pretending she was weak, then striking out with unbelievable force!? Genius! I wish I was like her- strong- strong enough to even carry an axe. "Not much." I reply. He nods in agreement, "Not too much help, is she?" "No..." He smiles again. Why is he smiling so much? Is he not afraid? "So, who are you betting on?" He inquires. "I don't have any money to bet." I reply. "Oh, I didn't mean literally. Just who do you think will win?" "Oh..." I chew my lip. The girl. The girl from District 12. I think she will win. But what will he think if I say that? District 12 never wins.... "The girl from District 12." If I'm going to die, I don't want to die a liar. "Ahh.. Wise choice. Personally, I'm betting on the boy from eleven." I smile. He made a much better choice than me. "But the girl," he continues, "she is very smart. And I think she's hiding her skill." Suddenly I'm jubilant. He observes! Like me! He has noticed the same thing! It's a treat to have my hypothesis validated. "I thought the same thing!"

My heart screams to be relieved of its utter agony. My hands shake and my fingers are numb. "12, 11, 10, 9..." The games. I'm in the games.

Snow day!!!!!

My cat Burney (photo creds to me!):



 I have a ton more but posting from my phone is driving me INSANE! I need to read that article I just posted...


Heyyyy

Anger- Get 😡 to 😄

Feb 15, 2015
I wrote an entire helpful blog post about anger, note I was angry when I wrote it. Then my phone died in the middle of the post and deleted the whole thing so

Diodncvkskdofoxjwjdixiwidjcidjfjdjdkxjhjusjcosjxjdjsjdjxhdjdiwpzofosjciskxjdjdjdj

Thank you for allowing me that. Anyway, we all get angry. Stop reading articles about anger and deal with it. Bye.

Fine............. Ways to cope with anger:
1. Use energy. Exercise  or do something like focus on writing a story or something like this. Email me it and I'll put it here!
2. Spend time with someone who makes you laugh or, if they aren't available at the moment, watch a funny video or something.
3. Breathe. Go somewhere quiet and focus on the things around you- smells, sights, etc.
4. If it is a person you are angry with, write an entire email or letter to them about the reasons you're angry. Reread and revise said letter. Delete it. Let this be a symbol of release. Note, I got that from an app. Not my idea ;)
5. I hate it when people say "let it go" "forget about it" because that's just dumb. They're saying it because it isn't them that's mad. So please don't give that advice. On the other hand, I guess it works for some people. Maybe do give that advice? Alright now I'm confused.
So yeah.
Bye.

Do do dooo dooo da dooo diddle dee

Well, let's all admit I'm terrible with blogs. I never post and never post anything interesting. :'D So............................................................................................................................................................................ Yeah I got nothin'. Well, I'll talk about me. So, I've moved up in Ice-skating to Junior Skating Academy. :-) It's really hard because it's late Fridays and Thursdays. It's a 40 minute practice, a 45 minute lesson, and a 30 minute work out that destroys me. It's really fun though. :) I'm still obsessed with YA dystopian novels :'D. I know you're all waiting for the day I don't say that. :) I'm really into Minecraft right now, since I downloaded the computer version. I'm bored. The only thing on is a Hallmark channel movie.... *sigh* Hallmark movies: "I'm in love! I'm getting married! Oh no!!!! Something went wrong! I can't get married! This is HORRIBLE!!!! Oh wait, never mind... Everythings fine! I'm in love and I'm getting married AGAIN! Yay!.... And they all lived unrealistically happily ever after..." I'm also hungry.................... Hmmmmm.... This is a horrible blog post... Well, I'm gonna write some Legend (a dystopian YA series) fan fiction. Bye! :)

Hey!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeello!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's up? How's fall break? How's everyone? ;) So... Me lately... Nothing to tell... It's been... Normal. :D Week going as usual... :) The weather has been so NASTY lately! I'm still obsessed with The Hunger Games, Legend, and Divergent. :) Oh! I'm literally wearing the pin (Katniss' Mockingjay pin) right now! :-) I think I'm going to the Fall Festival on Saturday with +LaureAnnD@comcast.net  & +Gracie Agee  :) I had fun at ice-skating on Wednesday with +LaureAnnD@comcast.net. We learned a "scratch spin" which is a one foot spin where you cross your legs over. :) It was really hard. :-) SO.... I'm just in the mood to talk about books. :-) If you aren't interested in The Hunger Games, Divergent, Legend Trilogy, or The Maze Runner, the next part of this post might not be super interesting for you. :)

Sooooooo.... Let's talk about Gally's eyebrows. ;) +Emma Dallas does a perfect impression of them. Gally is the bad guy/half bad guy in The Maze Runner. Here's a pic: (I guarantee you will laugh)



Ohhh... That never gets old! :'D
Can we talk about Team Gale vs. Team Peeta? (I'm a Team Peeta ALL THE WAY)?
So... Obviously there's the argument that Peeta is a wimp... But, based on what the Dauntless have taught us, shouldn't we think about what true cowardliness is? A true coward would not be ready to die in the blink of an eye (that rhymed!) for the girl they love. And... Let's just mention that Peeta killed a dude under water. Under. Water. And... If you read Mockingjay... There is a certain very important person that is dead because of Gale. BECAUSE OF GALE. Just saying... ;)

And... Let's talk about Legend! Well, none of you have read it... So, I guess not. :-) GO JUNE IPARIS! (Sorry just had to say that!)

Ummmm...... Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.................................................................... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....................................

Well I went ice-skating with @emmaclaired@gmail.com & @drnflipit@gmail.com & their little bro. :D (They're my cousins) ;) And that was SUPER FUN!

Well, gonna go now! :D

Dude... I wrote this a long time ago. :)
