Hunger Games

Charity, me, and Marthe with our Hunger Game shirts on (hard to see but they have the mocking jay symbol on them. Charity is obsessed with these books so I wore the shirt for her. She made them)

So Friday night TC and I went on a triple date to the Hunger Games. Confession: I've never read the books and honestly I did not really like the movie. I found it severely disturbing and I just did not like watching kids kill each other. It actually infuriated me that something like this could happen and no one has been able to STOP it!! The total disregard for human life shown by the Capitalists disgusted me!! TC said that you have to read all of the books and there is a good ending but I don't know whether I will. What am I not getting? Everyone I know is obsessed with this story and I really don't get it. It is just gross to me. No offense to all of you friends and family that think it is great! I know that all of you that love it are disturbed by it too but I just don't have a desire to watch something like that ever again. Also the romance did not pull me in at all. Maybe that has something to do with the face that Gail is WAY HOTTER than Pita!

Yeah, I don't get the whole Hunger Games craze either. A friend told me about the books when they first came out and I wasn't interested at all. I don't get it...; April 2, 2012 at 11:39 AM

How We Met

We met when both of us lived in the same apartment complex and were attending the same singles ward. We became acquainted as friends when one of Ashley's roomates was interested in one of TC's roommates and always wanted to hang out at their apartment. Ashley came along for moral support. Ashley has to admit that her initial impression of TC was not the greatest. She was wondering why he was trying to act like such a "tough guy" by shaving his head and going by TC. One day she asked him why he didn't grow his hair out to which he replied that he could not and she also learned that he goes by TC to distinguish himself from his father who is named Thomas Clark and his grandfather who is Thomas Clarence. TC relates that when he first met Ashley he thought she was cute and was contemplating asking her out or another girl in the ward. He did think Ashley was slightly immature because she was engaging in often frivolous activities such as throwing water balloons out her apartment window at people walking by and wrestling with guys in the apartment lounge. (She has grown up since then, TC says!) TC decided to give it a go and ask Ashley out after he came home from a trip visiting his sister, April, in Arizona. His roommates related that Ashley had expressed an interest in him. (Actually Ashley's roommate was trying to hook her up with TC and told his roommates Ashley wanted to go out with him. Ashley did not entirely object.) So TC called Ashley and asked her to go with a group to Pirates of the Caribbean. Their first official single date was to Wendy's (Way to go, TC, lol) TC and Ashley dated exclusively for about a year before becoming engaged in December of 2004 and were then married on April 23rd, 2005 and it has been bliss ever since!
