( HUNGER GAMES: DAY 3 )

[Hunger Games]

ET TU, BRUTE? BROTE?

Is it Friday yet?

[Hunger Games]

How weird is it for the onset of increased paranoia to be so fun?

Well, this week's dragging on for-fucking-ever.

[Asher]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to next week. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard.

[...]

Also. I realized I'm an asshole. I didn't even ask. You need me to bring anything? And what's my share? It might take me a while, probably until the end of summer, but I'll cover it.

[Diego]

Asher said you're coming with us over break. Once we're in San Diego, you want to go to a show? [...] I'll go either way and it won't be your sort of music, but you'd appreciate it a hell of a lot more than Asher or Ravi would. I think. First drink's on me?

[...]

It's no big deal. Just figured it was simpler to ask now.

i found someone's book. graphic novel, i guess?? it's called man out of time. i can bring it back to you.

[...]

i read it. sorry. i hope you don't mind. it's really good, though!!

[...]

does anyone have a story i can draw? i'd like to try. maybe over break??

Hey Ulysses, what songs should we play at our funeral?

Mr. Elmasry is so nice! Did you know he builds model ships in bottles? I don’t know if he uses magic or does it by hand, I didn’t think to ask, but he has so many in his room! He must have been doing it for a long time. He even gave me one after he gave me one of his shirts to wear!

I don’t know if my shirt will ever recover, but I feel like this was a very memorable Ides of March.

Cricket. I cannot BELIEVE you. Is the bond of family not SACRED? I'm telling your mom.

COLE MOSS, I NEED YOU AND YOUR FUCKIN' MAD COSTUMING SKILLZ

( School owl for Jesse McBride )

Very important inquiry from home: "Charming and silver-tongued" (his words, not mine) spider would like to diversify his repitoire - currently predominantly featuring Shakespeare, with occasional forays into Shelley and Keats. Seeks advice on how to appeal to a younger and "less classically-minded" clientelle. Does not appreciate being told to "perhaps watch Arachnophobia, Roxanne."

Though I think that last part may have been aimed at me.

Better monologue/poetry suggestions would be much appreciated.


[Chris]

Hey there, bossman.

Quick question. Beater practice tomorrow - want to try something a little bit different?

You know how sometimes it's pretty damn fun to sit back and watch everyone else run around like headless chickens?

Hunger Games

And today we learned to never underestimate a Ribbonfin. Well played, Templeton, well played!
