gale or peeta?

sadly, yes--i just reread the hunger games again. you would THINK i have enough going on, what with my schoolwork up to my ears and our impending move across the country for tommy's internship, but I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF! we went to see the movie on saturday night (last-minute, spur-of-the-moment, we-won't-be-able-to-do-this-after-the-baby kind of thing) and i thoroughly enjoyed it--enough that i couldn't stop thinking about it and had to pick up the books again. luckily, they only take me about three or four hours to finish, so i started the first one at 4:00 yesterday and just finished the last one a few minutes ago, AND went to my internship and taught class in the meantime.

but i thought i should just let everyone know which team i stand on. i know bethany's on team peeta--she's got josh hutcherson all over her room at home, thanks to the posters we bought her while we were in california. and i've got to agree with her--even though i'm not a josh hutcherson fan (sorry, bee). in my mind, peeta looks more like tommy, possibly because tommy IS peeta--everlastingly nice, unselfish, muscular. (his muscles were my roommates' favorite thing to tease me about when we were dating.) he even bakes. last night, he made our favorite chocolate chip banana bread, and i told him he WAS just like peeta. (he wasn't impressed.)

so even though i liked gale better the first time i read the first book, should katniss actually have ended up with someone like that? fiery, angry, really opinionated and wanting revenge? what an awful marriage that would make. no way--who wouldn't want to marry the nice, loyal guy who has ALWAYS loved you?

she made the right choice.

bee, take note--nice guys are the way to go. GO PEETA!
