Week Three: The Hunger Games

The only point I really hear debated about the Hunger Games is whether Katniss should be with Gale or with Peeta.

Most women I know (myself included) say "Peeta!  Definitely Peeta!  He treats her right and is completely devoted to her and blah blah blah."  It's interesting to look into this issue more critically.  It's easy to make the decision for someone else; Katniss is a fictional character, and no one's life is going to be critically altered by either decision.  But who would you choose?  And I don't just mean "Gale or Peeta?"  Think about the people in your life who can epitomize Gale or Peeta.  Which one do you choose: your first love and best friend, fierce and temperamental; or the one who has always been devoted to you, strong and reliable?  It's tougher to make a decision, isn't it?

From what I've seen, Peeta wins the polls.  But in real life, Gale's the one who wins.  Thoughts?

Random thought

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed.  I take a look at my dog and his carefree existence and wish I could have that.

But then I remember how much more fulfilling my life and relationships are.

Week Two: ALA Recap

A brief, illustrated synopsis of what I did at Anime Los Angeles this past weekend.
[Not including the time spent at the Volunteer window.  Which was most of it.]

Week One: So far so good.

I am grateful for the generosity of others, whether it's in time or material things <3

(Jenny gave me a haircut, and Lindsey gave me some clothes, in case you couldn't tell.)

[Super-quick-like, since I really should be doing work.  I imagine I won't have time to upload later in the week though, and I would hate to fail in my sketch-a-week resolution in the first week.]
