So I'm planning on withdrawing some money from my bank account tomorrow and hopefully see it on Saturday or Friday depending on the circumstances. Also have you heard? There's a new Taylor Swift song that's also going on the Hunger Games soundtrack, and and it really does fit in with the whole Hunger Games theme. How one moment it's childhood and you don't have to face the cruelty of the world yet. Then the next [you turn twelve] you face the cruelty of the world, and also hope to not have your name called. Because obviously, who wants to fight to the death. As Peeta says in the Hunger Games, it takes away everything about you once you do murder someone.
Oh, no. It costs a lot more than your life. To murder innocent people? It costs everything you are.
- Peeta, pg 23, Mockingjay
So without further ado, the song Eyes Open by Taylor Swift.
The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score

So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around, oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around, oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now

I just saw the movie today! It was really good! It wasn't exactly like the book, but it was pretty close. (:
