Bad moods

You know those days where NOTHING is going right? People come up to you asking if you're okay, and you just want to shred them into a million pieces? when you just can't wait to go to bed and completely forget that reality even exists? Then there is that one person who just smiles at you, or holds the door open for you and your response is "AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA! THANKS!! HAHAHA!" (or something else smooth like that). Yeah.

Mockingjay. *Spoiler Alert*

********Spoiler Alert**********

Okay, I finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins the day after it came out, and now that most of the people I know are done with it and I have had my ranting time, I want to give my full opinion.

Before I began, I knew I loved Gale, Cinna and Katniss. In Chapter one of the book, Katniss reveals that sources told her Cinna died during capitol interrogation. I say no body, no proof, he's not dead. The reason I say this is because I have an intense love for Cinna and am happy to be in denial if it keeps him alive. As I continued reading, what seemed to have made a lot of people hate Gale, made me respect him more and more. a lot seem to hate him for a lot of the choices he made, but I think he only did what he knew had to be done. Katniss seemed to grow weaker and weaker and eventually her character became useless to me. I'm happy she didn't end up with Gale because he deserves so much better than her (I'm single!).

This brings me to Peeta. WHAT THE FRAK!!!!!!!!! He was apparently brainwashed by the Capitol into hating Katniss, led him to want to kill her, and in the later chapters seemed to be buddying up with Gale, who seemed to hate him in the first two books! He ended up with Katniss in the end and she had children for him WHICH WAS STUPID! Actually, the entire epilogue was stupid.

Finnik Odair. Loved him. He became one of my favorite characters along with Prim. Finnik was there for Katniss to talk to because he was a mental patient and they (the rebels) didn't let him really do anything. When he finally got the chance to do something after marrying his love, Annie, HE DIED. >:(. Not. Fair. Neither he nor Prim ever got the justice they deserved. Their deaths were treated as minor and I so didn't appreciate it.

Later, after all was said and done and they had President Snow captured, the rebellion wanted to create a Hunger Games for Capitol children. GENOCIDE!!! The Capitol children didn;t deserve that, and Katniss went along with it! No! No! No! No! NO! (Thankfully Katniss actually did something smart an killed Coin who was a power hungry _____ throughout the entire book.

In the end, Peeta went off with Katniss and they never saw Gale again, Cinna, Finnik and Prim all died, and Haymich returned to his alcoholism. Not what I expected and I hated the end.

****NOTE TO READER*****

I still love the series and I wrote this while wearing my mockingjay necklace. I'm just mad about the end.

Random complaint. sorry it's a little ranty.

Why are people so quick to dismiss ideas of other just because someone else failed at it? I mean--REALLY? I hate it when I talk to someone, and I give them an idea, then I ask them for their support. They answer by smiling and saying, 'thats a really good idea. You should do that' (not sarcastic). Then I say, 'Yes, but I need help. Will you do this with me?". Then they answer with something like, "Oh, people would never listen to me!" or, "I would just hold you down.". NO! If I ask for support, then I don't think it will be an issue! If I did, I wouldn't have asked!

This brings me to a point where you can agree or disagree. I think, that a lot of things that need changing, don't change because people don't think that they could make a difference. Personally, I don' think one person BY THEMSELVES can make any difference at all. However, if it was a GROUP of people, then there's something. Also, making a change is not going out with a couple of friends, yelling at people outside your local grocery store, then going and having a picnic with your buddies. I'm sorry, but I can't see that working no matter what. I think that making change is something that you work for. In my opinion, it is done at least semi-professionally. Not behind McDonalds. Sorry, but it annoys me when I see people behind someplace with their cheeseburgers holding a sign that no one can actually read.

I guess my point is, change isn't easy. So if you think something is really worth changing, it will take time and effort. But that doesn't mean give up. It just means be ready.

OMG IM DONE

With that school. I'm finally done. I'm spending my junior and senior year at a high school at a college, so I never have to go to that school again. No amount of exclamation points could ever measure the joy I'm feeling right now. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ♥ Voltaire

I was told to research two Philosophers from a list from my english class, and many of them we philosophers of math, science, and religion. I didn't take much interest and found myself growing incredibly bored with the assignment. The I began reading quotes from Voltaire, and I love is philosophy. He questions and sometimes mocks humans and society, which I do just about every day. Particularly after school. Here are some of my favorite quotes from: http://www.quotationspage.com/search.php3?Search=&Author=Voltaire&C=coles&C=lindsly&C=poorc&C=net&C=devils&C=contrib&page=3

I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death for your right to say it.

God is a comedian playing to an audience afraid to laugh

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it

The public is a ferocious beast--one can either chain it up or flee from it.

Common sense is not so common

A witty saying proves nothing

Anything that is to stupid to be spoken is sung

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so as well

When it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion

To be boring is to say everything

There are more quotes that I love, but these are the main ones that really made my day. Which was good, because my day wasn't.

Scariest creature on land

I was in a debate with someone at school, and he was talking about how a bear is by far the scariest creature on land. I strongly opposed this. First of all, I don't see bears as scary at all. You want to give them their distance, but they're not scary. When the person asked me what the scariest creature on land was, I answered without a doubt, "Us."

I truly believe that we are the scariest. The boy said I was 'just being cynical', and while that may be true, I continued to make my point. I said, "Well, what if we put the bears in our shoes, and them in ours. All we know is that we are pushed out of our homes by these critters, and then they demolish it. The put in big, noisy and smelly things. Our food is gone, and every now and again, they kill one of us and mount the head on the wall as a trophy. If we kill one of them when they come to our home, that one of us is hunted and killed. I would be pretty dang scared."

Anyway, if you're reading this, I want to know. What do you think the scariest creature is and why?

Hmm...Let's take a closer look at life

Now, mind you, what you are about to read is a teenager's outlook on life. You can agree, or you can keep reading out of sheer curiosity. Doesn't make a difference to me. So, that being said, LET'S GET ON WITH THE SHOW.

Okay, I'm going to lay out a timeline.

Ages 1-3: You learn to walk, talk, and wear diapers.

Ages 3-5: Preschool, let the learning process begin.

Ages 5-12: Welcome to elementary school. Most of us lean the cruel lesson of those bigger than us: those stronger than us. (unless you're me and that learning process got blocked. Resulted in a few black eyes.)

Ages 12-14: Middle school, the huge popularity contest begins. If you're not in the popular crowd, let the teasing begin!

Ages 14-18: High school. The big ol' sludge ball of fun. People start drugs, driving, sex, partying and much much more. And these people are our future?!

Ages 18-26: College(most of us anyways). The golden years.

Ages 24-65: WORK. You join the world with the other worker bees, cracking jokes, drinking coffee, and falling asleep earlier than your teenager.

Ages 65-R.I.P- Retirement, you walk, talk and wear diapers until you die.

THATS LIFE

And yet people look at me funny when I spout out the list of things I want to do. The truth is, we get one life. Rather than join the sheep who follow the others, baa-ing and grazing where the others do, I want to be something like a tiger(NOT a cougar). I want to make something of myself. I want to be one of the people who leads people down the path of adventure. I don't ever want to have to say, "Man, I wish I had chosen to do that", because the second I do that is part of my life wasted away. So let us all live life to the fullest, and with minimal regrets.

Post #1 My randomness welcomes you

Yo! This is Ashi. In case you've never heard of me before (I'm kinda assuming you haven't) this is the--dun dun da DA--INTRODUCTION POST!!!!

Hello! I'm Ashi-tomo, or just Ashi for short. I'm just that average person who decided to start a blog. A lot of people suggested it, sooooo HERE IT IS!! Whoop.

Okay, here's a little about me. If you're reading this far(without just skimming) I want you to pat yourself on the back. I am a super random girl who want to share her ideas and views of life, books, movies and anything else I feel like throwing in here. I tend to be pessimistic except for when I'm being optimistic (Gold star if you just thought 'well DUH'). I'm open to comments, as long as they remain respectful, because I'm cool until you're on my bad side, in which case I can be pretty dang scary. BUT, I want all readers out there on m good side. So... :) smiley face.

First thing I want to get out there: I hate Twilight, especially Edward Cullen. The only thing I hate more than Edward Cullen would probably be Robert Patterson( Being a teen girl, that is somewhat unusual). It may be because I read Twilight wanting a good vampire book, and got GUSH MUSH LOVEY-DOVEY GOOSH FLOOSH action GUSH GUSH GUSH. Gag me please. The Edward character creeped me out. The main character, Bella, woke up to Edward being in her room because "He liked to watch her sleep". I dunno, but that(to me) screams STALKER. And I don't see stalking as sexy. Bella also describes him as "sparkly". What does she do at school? Other girls say things like, "My boyfriend is nice," or, "My boyfriend is funny," and here come vampy's girlfriend, "Well my boyfriend is SPARKLY!!"

Ok, so, I'll try to add more soon, so thanks for reading!
