Meh on the title

water lilies · 09-09-2010, 06:22 PM

Thanks for the new thread!

I changed the number.

Rukia · 09-09-2010, 06:51 PM

TFTNT, Sarah!

I love the title by the way!

So much better than mine. Thanks!

How did school go for you this week, Sarah?

Belle, I think we were talking about our favorite Katniss/Peeta moments from all three books...

water lilies · 09-09-2010, 07:15 PM

The Vampire Diaries started tonight.

Did you watch it yet, Sarah? What other shows are you guys excited about to see return?

Oh, yes, here are my favorite moments.

For Katniss, I pictured someone along the lines of a young Camilla Belle. I do like the looks of Kaya Scodelario and Caitlin Stasey, but I don't anything else about them.

I like Kaya's look as well, but I have never seen her act in anything. She definitely looks the part. Who is Caitlin Stasey? I have to go look her up. I've never heard of her.

Quote:

I do!

For the first book, I loved:
- the bread moment (when Peeta looked at Katniss from behind his mother, when he went out to toss the bread to her, everything!)
- the day after the bread moment (I loved that Katniss caught Peeta looking at her and how Peeta turned away whenever she catches him doing so)
- when they were holding hands in their fire costumes
- when Peeta confessed his love for Katniss during his live interview
- when Katniss finds Peeta camouflaged in the ground beneath her feet
- all of the cave moments (especially when Peeta recalls about how Katniss came to the first day of school dressed in a red plaid dress with her hair in braids and how Katniss stood up on a stool and sang for the whole class)
- when Katniss and Peeta were reunited after the Games for the live interview (I loved how Katniss ran to Peeta as soon as she him and how Peeta pushed the interviewer away and kept on kissing Katniss)
- when Katniss cuddled up close to Peeta for their live interview after the Games
- when Katniss and Peeta take a walk outside the train that's taking them home after the Games, and Peeta gives her flowers, and Katniss confesses that she was acting in love for their survival

For the second book, I loved: (Somehow, I can't recall the second book as well, sorry)
- when Peeta sleeps with Katniss, so she can sleep without nightmares
- the beach scene

For the third book, I loved:
- when Peeta asks to see Katniss in his hospital room and says a lot of cruel things to her but also recounting the bread moment (This was a sad moment for me).
- when Peeta joins the Katniss and the gang for supper in the cafeteria flanked by two guards (Another sad moment -- especially when Peeta starts asking about Katniss/Gale)
- when Peeta starts freaking out when they're doing their mission in Capitol, and Katniss kisses him
- the last lines of the last chapter
- the epilogue when they describe their children

What are your favorite Katniss/Peeta moments?

Spoiler:

I'm going to do my re-read of the first two books next, so I might find some moments we forgot about.

Rukia · 09-09-2010, 07:59 PM

Have you read the Vampire Diaries series, Belle?

How's the show? I think I've only watched one episode, I think. I can't watch a TV series religiously unfortunately. I just get too busy and then lose interest.

I hadn't heard of Caitlin Stasey at all until someone mentioned her in their dream cast.

She just kinda has the right look.

I read over my list of favorite Katniss/Peeta moments, and I apologize if some of them sounded weird. I was typing too fast, and I didn't check them over.

Gosh, I totally had a brain fart about the Catching Fire moments. I didn't remember those moments until you mentioned them. I love those ones you mentioned!

God, I realllly need to re-read the second book. My mind's a bit blank when it comes to that one.

I loved the Mockingjay moments you mentioned, too. Especially the part where

Spoiler:

. Somehow, I'd forgotten about it.

I've been so craving for anything/everything related to THG and Katniss/Peeta that I've actually been reading fanfiction.

water lilies · 09-10-2010, 05:12 AM

I haven't read the books and I'm not interested in them. I just watch the show.

The first few episodes I watched were kinda slow, but I'm glad I gave it a chance because it got really good in the middle of the season.

Ooh, I watched that Dating in the Dark reality show you mentioned. I spent all Monday night watching reality shows on ABC. That and Bachelor Pad.

Do you have CF, or is it with your siblings?

Spoiler:

Is the fanfiction any good?

I absolutely loove your icon.

I should get myself one!

I've heard that the books and the show are pretty different. Maybe I'll check out a couple of episodes someday.

Did you like it?

I think it's incredibly interesting and amusing. It's cute when the couple end up together when you least expect it.

I like that it's a new group of people each week, so it doesn't matter if I miss an episode or two.

How's Bachelor Pad?

Quote:

It's with them.

I was thinking of buying myself the whole set, and then sending them my copy of the third book (somehow, they're choosing to wait for a copy from the library which has like 400 holds!

). But now, I'm thinking to send them my third book, and having them send me the first and second books.

I reallly want to re-read CF! I'd forgotten so many good Katniss/Peeta moments! And I want to re-read THG because it's my favorite.

Quote:

I've only read a couple. They're good. I've been reading the rated M ones.

Thanks. I've been wanting a Katniss/Peeta icon with Kaya and Alex, but that's the only one I've found. I'm not sure if it's exactly up for grabs... but I really wanted one. I credited the maker though.

You should so get one! Which actors would you like to have on your Katniss/Peeta icon?

The show vs the books for The Vampire Diaries is that the show is quite different from the books. I have read all the books but personally think they are alright. LJS isn't a favourite writer and find her writing a bit weak. Some of parts of the books are alright but the show is so much better. Think its cause its not as cheesy and its modern. Plus the characters/relationships are fanastic and the storylines are fanastic. Even most of the characters outside of the trio are different than their book counterparts

First week of school is about to be done cause am on an hour break before my last class of the day. Its been good, most of the classes have mainly been intro to the courses but have been taking some notes and thats been good cause miss doing that

had a bit of writing samples to do for my Writing class but thats normal. Next week is when its going to get tougher cause got an outline due at the beginning of October for my History class. Gotta write a 5 page paper on a topic in History. So within the next 2 weeks, will be researching the ideas that I have cause have like half a dozen and its all within the Middle Ages even if my period is Roman/Greek. Do love Middle Ages as well

Belle

Had class until 8pm and didn't get home until 9pm. So am going to download it when I get home and hopefully watch it tonight. Same with how I want to check Nikta {sp} out for Shane West and it looks good

One Love · 09-11-2010, 03:25 AM

I have only seen a few episodes of that show but iy wasn't really interesting for me. I'm kind of getting tired of the vampire thing. There's too much of it.

I'm excited about Bones returning. It's my favourite show

crash landing · 09-11-2010, 03:44 AM

I've always been into Vampires

so I don't play attention to this trend. I watch/read it cause I like it

water lilies · 09-11-2010, 11:22 AM

I've only ever watched one or two episodes of Bones.

Did you have time to watch it yet? I thought the premiere was so good! I also watched Nikita. I liked it enough to watch the 2nd episode next week. What did you think?

I also watched the pilot for 'No Ordinary Family'. That one was just okay.

How's Bachelor Pad?

I liked it! It was entertaining and pretty funny. Bachelor Pad was surprisingly addicting, yet ridiculous and kinda embarrassing at the same time.

In other words, it's the perfect summer show. I don't watch The Bachelor, so I have no idea who's who in that show though.

I bought the box-set as well! I gave my other copies to someone, and got the set with Mockingjay.

Of course those fics sound more interesting.

Hm, I'd get one with Kaya and Alex/Hunter Parrish (or whatever icon looks good). I see that you've changed yours already!

crash landing · 09-11-2010, 11:56 AM

Just not in the mood yet for the new one

water lilies · 09-11-2010, 12:04 PM

Aw, well you should just relax. Your first weekend off from school.

crash landing · 09-11-2010, 12:06 PM
