If This (book) Were a Movie...

As you know, I love to read. A lot. So I was thinking about my favorite book and how if they were ever turned into a movie what characters I would play. Now, I love acting as well, so I would love to actually play these characters if in fact they were turned into movies. Some, however, were already turned into movies so I can't play them. 

Jess Delaney (TMDB) : In the this picture (left) is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS : The mother Daughter Book Club. From the first time I read this book, I knew that I should play Jess. I had something in common with all of the girls, but I felt like if this were ever turned into a movie, I would get the role of Jess. Not only am I just like her, I also kind of look like her and think I could play her well.  

Primrose & Katniss Everdeen (THG) : I know, I know. THIS IS ALREADY A MOVIE!! Whatever. I think that if it WASN'T already a movie, I could play Katniss's little sister, Prim pretty well. I think I could scream and fight away Gale like Prim. I put Katniss too because if I were older I would definitely audition for Katniss. I would love to play her. 

Carina Jurgensen (The Daughters) : Carina from The Daughters is kind of sassy and fun and the type to say what's on her mind. I would like to play her in a movie of "The Daughters" (the book in which irritated me greatly) because I think it would be fun because I'm not really like her. Even though I didn't like the book, Carina was my favorite character. She made the book kind of real. Hudson was fake, Lizzie was fake, everything else about the book was fake. (I didn't really like that book...)

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) : I know, again. HARRY POTTER HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE INTO LIKE, EIGHT MOVIES!! Yeah, I know this, but if given the chance to play anyone in Harry Potter I would play Hermione. I think it would be amazing to be part of the Harry Potter experience. 
 
Of course there are many more characters that if turned into a movie I would defiantly want to play. Who knows? Maybe someone will have read this and considered me for the role as Jess or Carina (The two books that haven't been turned into movies yet that I know of). There are more books I could have put, but I don't want to bore you anymore with my dreams of acting as book characters. Anyway, what's your favorite book and who would you play?(:

Comment your answers!!

By the way, Kim ended up winning Survivor, my predictions were correct!!

Some Survivor Predictions and Such

As you know, my FAVORITE show of all time is Survivor. Last season before the season finale I filled you in on my thoughts and predictions of winner. Today, this season "Survivor : One World" is coming to an end, so I thought I would do the same.

This season has been interesting...and by interesting I mean that we were behind in watching it for most of the season so I couldn't really watch it all spread out week by week and whatnot. Instead, impatient me got out of hand and just looked up who got voted out without actually watching the episodes. I did, however, watch the last like, four in the last week, but I already knew who got voted out. So, what just happened on this last episode of Survivor? I'll walk you though it (:

The last episode should have been called "Tarzan's Last Scramble" because it literally was a scramble for him to all of a sudden start playing the game. Really? I mean, they did spare him an extra few days after getting rid of Kat, who I watched her Ponderosa video (SHE CRIED THE ENTIRE TIME, or at least it seemed like it.). Anyway, he now starts to play the game and is busy explaining to both Alicia and Kim that he wants and can take them to the final three or convince the jury to vote for them. May I add, he told them separately too!! So now Kim is 'keeping her options open', when it is clear she can't vote out Chelsea but claims she 'will if it will get her farther in the game'. Alicia on the other hand is all like 'Yup, okay, I'm with ya, I'm Alicia hahaha'.

So at the reward challenge when Chelsea one she got to choose two people to go with her. She chose Sabrina as one of her choices, which no one was upset with because she doesn't really go on rewards and then she chose Kim. Who doesn't choose Kim? It was predictable. But of course Alicia has to get all upset that Chelsea didn't choose Tarzan or Christina and therefore declared Chelsea as the next to go and after Alicia won the immunity challenge she compared notes with Kim, and they discovered that Tarzan had been playing both of them. They voted out Tarzan and now five women are left in the final five. Kim, Chelsea, Sabrina, Alicia, and Christina. 

My Predictions for each player :

Kim :  If Kim doesn't win, then I would laugh. This game is Kim's game. She's been playing everyone! Even Alicia finally fell for it and is now listening to everything she says. I think that if Alicia, Sabrina, and Chelsea don't try and all of a sudden go 'Wait, we should vote out Kim' she will win the game.

Chelsea : I actually think Chelsea could win if she makes the right decisions. If it were her, Alicia, and Christina in the finals she would win. If she is with Sabrina and Kim she doesn't stand much of a chance. I'm rooting for Chelsea and Kim, but because Kim has this whole game played out I'd like to see Chelsea win.

Sabrina : I know that if Kim and Sabrina are in the final three together Sabrina will win. The jury doesn't have much of a reason to be mad at her, but they do Kim. Maybe FINALLY they will realize that although Chelsea and Kim voted them out, they played great games and Sabrina didn't do much. However, if at the final three Sabrina could talk about Kim's betrayal enough to where the jury doesn't vote Kim.

Alicia : If Alicia wins, blah. Alicia is just plain rude and the fact that she thinks she's all on Kim's side is a joke to me. I see that Kim wants to go to the end with someone who won't win (cough, cough Alicia), but she's had Sabrina and Chelsea with her the whole time and now Alicia thinks she has a shot at winning. Even if Alicia went to the end by herself she wouldn't win. If you could only vote for Alicia, she wouldn't win. She just wouldn't.

Christina : Clueless, Christina. Christina is just there now. She's just there. She doesn't serve much of a purpose there, but odds are she will probably go to the end because no one will vote for her. She hasn't really even played the game. I think Christina will go to the end because of this and probably will go with Alicia too because no one will vote for her either.

Final Three Possibilities : Kim, Chelsea Sabrina Kim Alicia Christina Chelsea Alicia Christina Kim Chelsea Alicia Kim Chelsea Christina Kim Sabrina Alicia Kim Christina Sabrina Alicia Sabrina Christina Chelsea Alicia Sabrina Chelsea Sabrina Christina

Who do you want to win? Comment your predictions too!!(:

I'll blog the outcome soon!!

Happy Mother's Day(:

The Proctor Games and books!!

The Proctor Games Cake
Hi!! Okay, I know I haven't blogged in like, forever, but the point is I'm blogging now so be happy!! In the past few months I've been doing things with my writing career-type-thingy (I know, I call myself an 'author' and I can't even sound at all professional). I'm writing SEVERAL books write now so I'm kind of busy. 

I'm also busy obsessing over The Hunger Games. Today Meghann, Juliet, and I all wore our 'Peeta shirts' (if you haven't read THG yet Peeta Mellark is probably the most AMAZING person, I mean book character, ever. He is a tribute in the 74th annual Hunger Games and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah look at me get WAY off topic.) You can also see on the side over there is a cake that was made for me and my friends for our first annual 'Proctor Games', amazing right? My mom made it and my Aunt Sarah decorated it and made it look all amazing like that!! I'm so thankful for it!! If you couldn't tell we're a little obsessed with this book series/movie? 
(right to left, back to front) Meghann, Julia, Me, Juliet

In honor of those "Hunger Games" we had our own, "Proctor Games", my party my last name, get it? Okay, so anyway we had a reaping, chariot rides, interviews in which some of the silliest questions were asked and a fight to the, uh, battle to see who can pretty much hide the longest in the arena. I didn't win...I came in second, but if you read the books you pretty much know your fate at this point. Juliet (aka my bestest friend) ended up winning, we all knew she would win, but you know, you can try to fight. Anyway, Meghann was out first for fighting with my brother (who wasn't even playing...) for a water bottle at the Cornucopia and Julia "died" second because Juliet, our fellow career, slashed her head off with a play sword after Meghann was gone and while they were trying to find me, but I was sneaky. Lastly, Juliet ended up finding me and I had my big, long dramatic death scene and she won. It was so much fun. I can't wait for the second annual games. Haha.

Chariot Rides!!
  Anyway, what else have I been doing besides being a Hunger Games crazed person and creating really fun inside jokes with my friends (OMIGOD OMIGOD YOU GUYS!!)? I've been watching my FAVORITE TV show "Survivor" (which by the way, tomorrow I'll have a blog post about my predictions of the finale). I've also been reading, well, actually I've been slacking at reading. I mean, after you read 'The Hunger Games' you can't really read much of anything. I've also been writing and stuff but I haven't gotten into anything. Soooo what have you been doing? And be sure to see my blog tomorrow on Survivor : One World Finale Predictions!! I think I'm rooting for Chelsea and Kim!! You''ll see the post tomorrow!!(:

Happy Mother's Day weekend!!(:
