What's Your Hunger Games Name?

How about those names for the Hunger Games, eh? TOO COOL! Now you can have your own freakishly awesome name! :D Forget Anne, Paul, Jack, Suzan, Florence, let's see what interesting name you can come up with! :D 

1) Write down the second syllable of your middle name.

• If you do not have a middle name – what is wrong with you?  How did you know when your parents were mad at you?  Anyway, you should use the second syllable of your first name.
• If your middle name is only one syllable, you may use the second syllable of your last name.
• If none of your names have more than one syllable, your parents obviously read the children’s book Tikki-Tikki-Tembo, and you may use any syllable you like from Tikki-Tikki-Tembo-No-Sa-Rembo-Chari-Bari-Ruchi-Pip-Peri-Pembo’s name.

2) Write down the name of a plant.

3) If you are a female above the age of 30, write down the word “less.”  If you are a female under the age of 30, write down the word “met.”  If you are a man of any age, A) welcome! and B) write down the word “petra.”

4) Write down the first initial of the last name of your favorite English teacher from school.

5) Write down one simple action verb (i.e. “run,” “jump,” etc)

Now, get your results!!

Combine the answer from #1 with the answer from #3.  That is your first name.

Your middle initial is the answer to #4.

Your last name is your answer to #5 with your answer to #2 added to the end.

My Hunger Games name is . . .{drumroll, please} . . . Sephmet B. Waltzlilly  (ooo... I sorta like this)!

The Waffler! He will bash you in the head...

Lol I haven't watched the full video but this first part completely cracked me up! Watch the first few seconds and learn who THE WAFFLER IS!!! Fear him- he may bash you in the head with his Griddle of Justice!

OOOO found a longer version! :D

New York Giants HEADIN' TO THE SUPERBOWL!

Direct copy from this blog

The New York Giants are NFC Champions after outlasting the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17 in overtime. The Giants are now 5-0 in conference title games. Eli Manning survived a fierce 49ers pass rush, getting sacked six times. He completed 32 of 58 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns.

San Francisco, which led the league with a +28 turnover margin during the regular season, was done in by two crucial fumbles on punt returns by Kyle Williams.

Here's how the second half played out.

10:33 p.m.: Lawrence Tynes splits the uprights on a 31-yard field goal to send the New York Giants to Indianapolis for meeting with the New England Patriots.

10:32 p.m.: Three Bradshaw runs puts the ball on the 49ers' 6-yard line.

10:28 p.m.: Kyle Williams turns it over for the second time on a punt return. New York's Devin Thomas makes the recovery again. Giants already in field goal position at the 49ers' 24-yard line.

10:26 p.m.: And on the 86th play, Justin Smith sacks Eli Manning. Six sacks on the day for San Francisco.

10:25 p.m.: 3rd-and-3 coming up for Giants. 49ers defense has been on the field for 85 plays.

10:23 p.m. : San Francisco calls a timeout with the Giants at their 49 facing 2nd-and-9.

10:21 p.m.: Aaron Ross provides a 14-yard return of Andy Lee's 47-yard punt. Giants ball at their 36.

10:20 p.m.: Alex Smith finds Vernon Davis for 11 yards on 3rd down, but the 49ers need 12 for the first.

10:17 p.m.: Niners start at their 22 after a 48-yard punt by Weatherford and 4-yard return by Williams.

10:16 p.m.: Giants forced to punt after just four plays. Next score wins.

10:13 p.m.: Giants start at their 20 after a touchback.

10:10 p.m.: Giants win the toss. Remember, overtime rules are different in postseason. Unless the Giants score a touchdown on their first possession, the 49ers will get a chance for a possession. If the 49ers pull off an offsides kick, the Giants would not entitled to a possession anymore.

10:08 p.m.: We're going to overtime. Smith finds Delanie Walker for 29 yards down to the Giants' 29. (End of 4th quarter. Giants 17, 49ers 17)

10:07 p.m.: Looks like Hail Mary time. San Francisco calls timeout with four ticks left at their 38.

10:05 p.m.: The 49ers have two timeouts with 19 seconds left and are starting from their 36.

10:04 p.m.: On 3rd-and-4 from the San Francisco 46, Manning just misses Victor Cruz, who almost makes a catch that would remind every Giants fan of David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII.

10:02 p.m.: Eli Manning hits Ahmad Bradshaw down the sideline for a 30-yard gain on 2nd down.

10:00 p.m.: A 59-yard punt by Andy Lee gives New York the ball at their 18 with 1:29 left.

9:58 p.m.: Smith throws three consecutive inconpletions. The 49ers are 0-11 on 3rd down.

9:55 p.m.: Niners get the ball back at their own 29 after Manning can't connect with Victor Cruz deep down the middle on 3rd down. Weatherford drilled a 51-yard punt.

9:51 p.m.: Two-minute warning: Giants face a 3rd-and-15 at their 21. 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis sacks Manning for an 11-yard loss on first down.

9:49 p.m.: Manning bring the Giants offense on with 3:04 left with the ball on the New York 26.

9:48 p.m.: Giants sack Smith on 3rd down and call a timeout with 3:12 left.

9:45 p.m.: San Francisco quickly denies New York, forcing a punt. 49ers start on their own 35 with 4:01 on the clock.

9:40 p.m.: San Francisco rumbles down the field on the strength of 17-yard run by Alex Smith and a 18-yard run by Kendall Hunter. The 49ers came up two yards short of a first down at the 7-yard line and settled for a David Akers field goal.(49ers, 17, Giants 17).

9:33 p.m.: Williams tries to make up for his turnover with a 40-yard kickoff return that give San Francisco the ball at their own 45.

9:30 p.m.: On 3rd-and-15, Manning fires a strike to Mario Manningham for a 17-yard touchdown. (Giants 17, 49ers 14)

Note: Williams was returning kicks in place of the injured Ted Ginn Jr.

9:22 p.m.: Giants get a huge break as Niners returner Kyle Williams lets the punt skip off his knee and Giants receiver Devin Thomas recovered. Officials originally ruled the ball went untouched, but Tom Coughlin successfully challenged the play. New York ball at the San Francisco 29.

9:20 p.m.: Tarell Brown has head/thigh injuries. His return questionable.

9:19 p.m.: Another weak effort as the Giants fail to convert on 3rd down for the seventh consecutive time.

9:16 p.m.: Giants begin their fifth drive of the second half at their own 20 after a 49ers' drive stalls at the New York 46-yard line. The Giants' longest drive of the third quarter was a 5-play, 22-yard effort.

9:08 p.m.: Third quarter ends with the Niners having 1st-and-10 and their own 45.

9:06 p.m.: With a minute left in the third quarter, 49ers starting cornerback Tarell Brown takes a huge hit from teammate Dashon Goldson while breaking up an Eli Manning pass intended for Hakeen Nicks. Brown was helped off the field after being down for several minutes.

8:55 p.m.: After forcing a three-and-out of the Giants, the 49ers takeover at their 22. Niners defensive tackle Ray McDonald registered the team's third sack of Eli Manning to bring the punt team on.

8:46 p.m.: Alex Smith delivers a beautiful ball to Vernon Davis for a 28-yard touchdown down the left sideline. Davis manages to celebrate without drawing a penalty. (49ers 14, Giants 10)

8:43 p.m.: Giants earn some breathing room by moving the ball out to their 29, but a 24-yard punt return by Kyle Williams set the 49ers up at their 46.

8:40 p.m.: After an exchange of punts, the Giants take over on their own 7-yard line.

8:27 p.m.: The rain is no longer coming down, but the Giants are no longer moving the ball to start the third quarter. New York goes three-and-out after gaining 9 yards on first down and punt. Niners take over at their 32 with 13:25 to go.

8:07 p.m.: Another Manning-Cruz hookup gives Tynes a 31-yard chance with 6 seconds to go ... and he converts. Two ticks left in the half. Giants 10, 49ers 7 (HALFTIME)

8:05 p.m.: Cruz extends to beat Rogers for a 17-yard game to the SF 21. Giants definitely in Tynes range now with 20 seconds left in the half.

8:04 p.m.: Manning to Cruz gets Giants to SF 38 before a Cruz drop. Giants probably need at least another 10 yard for a viable FG attempt for Tynes.

8:01 p.m.: Lee drills a 57-yarder that Blackmon returns 13. Still a pretty good fild flipper.

7:52 p.m.: Rain is letting up a bit. Nice punt by Giants' Steve Weatherford, 43 yards no return after the Giants stalled in their end. Note: Baas returned to the O-line for New York.

7:45 p.m.: Nothing hurt there on the fake fourth-down attempt. May as well give all-pro P Andy Lee, who set a single-season record with a 44-yard net average in 2011, more room to work. However he didn't get much on that one ... yet Will Blackmon's faux fair catch ends up pushing the Giants back to the 19. Lee's punt only covers 24 yards.

American Idol Re-cap and One Man Singing Groups!

First off, in the mood of song, let's start today with some good ol' A Cappella! :D

Second- AMERICAN IDOL!!! WOO to the HOO! For those who are following- don't forget that American Idol comes on this Sunday after the big football game! On Wednesday night, Steven Tyler kicked off the season with a bit of awkwardness, but thanks to Jennifer Lopez he was saved! So it was all good. 

Heejun! Hooollllyyyywwoooddd I'm coming! 

My favorite person out of that night (Wednesday) was the girl who was 16 and had tried out the previous year but only her brother got to go on. This year she came back without him...they remembered her...but mostly him. This poor girl had to bring her brother in and let him sing and watch him get the golden ticket. He totally dominated her try out! I felt so sorry for her. She, of course, got that golden ticket but it felt like a side comment. The judges were doing flips for her brother and just loved him and then were like "oh yeah you get a ticket too." If she makes it any farther, she's getting my vote!

Okay, now for Thursday night! :D My favorite person was that first guy xD He was so... blah...out of it...had no confidence in himself. Then he came out and SANG LIKE CRAZY!!! I was NOT expecting that voice and he sounded so amazing!!! I really hope he gets past those Hollywood rounds. I really want to be able to vote for him. He was just too cute (that's what I like to call, TUTE!). 

So how about you all? Who were your favorites? Who were your least favorites? Who's your favorite judge? I <3 RANDY JACKSON!!! Jennifer Lopez is totally adorable and Steven Tyler freaks me out a little but I think he's hysterical. 

Have a wonderful day! :D 

Rachel Coker and Steven Tyler!

Hello Hello!
If you follow our blog then you might be slightly aware of my semi obsession with the blog Go Teen Writers. Well today's post on that blog had to do with Rachel Coker. She's a 15 year old girl, now 16, who is in the process of publishing her first book. It's coming out in MARCH! :D I am now obsessed with her blog! I read that she was trying to get her blog out to more people so I'm lending a hand and sharing her awesomeness with you all :) If you enjoy reading, writing and humor then I suggest reading up on her wonderful blog AND checking out that book of hers. It's called Interrupted.

Now for Steven Tyler. I looovveee American Idol! I know some people might not, but I do. Season 11 started last night and who saw that ridiculously wicked hat that Steven had on?! WAS IT AWESOME OR WHAT?! WHO'S WITH ME? Just a warning to all of our wonderful followers: I'm going to be blogging about American Idol at least once a week for the next few months. You've been warned :) And yes, I was that person who used everyone's cell phones to vote for Scotty McCreery last year.

Wendy's- THAT'S RIGHT!

I <3 Lists! All sorts of them all the way from Things to Do in Walmart When You're Bored to Church Signs. I love compiling them. So I am now offering to do lists for anyone who wants them! :D If you have an idea or a request for me to compile a list of something wacky or serious please leave a comment! :D

FRIDAY THE 13TH DUH DUH DUH!!! eeahhhh!!!!!

Hello hello! I'm not a very superstitious person but Friday the 13th has always been fun for me! It's like a bonus Halloween or something! So, what's the history behind this day? What makes it soooo creepy?! I dunno, but if you fear it, you're a friggatriskaidekaphobia. Yeah, that's right, I totally just called you that. In Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th (martes trece) is considered a day of bad luck. This year of 2012 has two more Fri-13's to come! 


Oh and how on earth did I forget! THE MOVIE! Yup there are actually 12 films in the Friday the 13th franchise. They're due for a 13th!

Thoughts on this Tragic Work In Progress?

Hello everyone, RandomThinker 1 here,

I love writing books and I participated and won the NaNoWriMo challenge last year. For those of you who are following, no I'm not done with that book. I'm taking a break from it because one day I got ANOTHER idea and I fell so madly in love with it that I had to run with it and see where it went. So, my NaNo book is on hold.

Now for the book that stole me away. I love love love the idea of this book and I was wondering if anybody else would find it interesting. The basis for my Work in Progress is a Band that actually does exist (it shall remain nameless). They lost their drummer a few years back, but continue to produce albums. They were really torn up when their drummer died. It got me thinking, what would it be like to have a best friend, that crazy person in the group that was the peace maker, the one that everyone loved, what would it be like to suddenly lose that person? Have them ripped away from your life so unexpectedly? ...then I got thinking even more...what would it have been like if he'd left a wife behind? For added drama I thought: what would it be like if nobody, not even the band, knew she existed? What would THAT woman's life be like?

Okay, so that's the major concept of the book, now for the main character, Clair. This poor girl. She's grown up with zero friends and her single mother died when she was young and she had to live with her grandfather and he died too. She meets this crazy guy who makes her happy and they get married. One year later, he dies. Now she has no friends, no family and she's pretty depressed. I know what you're thinking... why would anyone want to WRITE let alone read such sad stuff?!?!!? Well... in my book, my character grows. She goes from this sad, lonely, depressed, on the verge of suicide, person to a strong, woman. She gains friends in her life, true friends, people that care for her. In her darkest hour, she calls out to a Higher Power, and her empty heart is filled with Peace, throwing a new perspective on her life.

I guess my question is... does anybody want to see where this goes or is it a lame idea?!
