On my annual Hunger Games kick. Figured out one reason why it speaks to me so much.

I grew up in poverty, was also in poverty during my graduate education, surrounded by classmates and faculty that usually weren’t first generation college students like me. Raising a child with a developmental disorder on my own, far away from everyone.

I read up on how rich people can tell when another is in their class, so I could behave that way, so I might gain access to the networking connections needed for a solid career. I’d take clothes from donation bins and thrift stores and remade them, changing plastic buttons for wood or mother of pearl, adding linings in, hemming etc. Feeling all the while like I was one poor grade away from being homeless again, terrified of not being able to provide for my child.

Dressing and talking the way the upper classes do, always sensing that I was getting it wrong in some way that I hadn’t grasped. Always hiding my tween daughter from them.

Just like when Katniss and Peeta are dressed up for the Capital interviews. The author’s depiction of their trauma, confusion, and desperation was so clear. I’m so grateful that she wrote these books.

Playing Dark Souls!

This game was forbidden for many years on the basis of 'do not step on your sibling's turf,' but we've matured past that now, 🤞. (also they live in a different house now and can't stop me)

So far:

- spent an hour being killed by skeletons despite being Specifically Warned about not messing with the skeletons

- oh wow after the skeletons bones borough Undead Burgh seems so doable

-except this dark knight guy. He seems kinda tough

-yeah, no. I looked up how to get this dude. Kill it with Fire! From far away on the rooftops!

- racked up 4000 souls & 4 Humanity only to die in the first boss fight And Then Die Again, Stupidly, by Fire! 😡 Karma for the dark knight dude, I guess.

- Beat the Tauros boss on the third try!

Next up, dragons?
