"So, I see your hobbies include...art, photography, dancing, singing, and...axe throwing...?"

I completed The Hunger Games Series this past Christmas break. I LOVED it. My boy and I went to see the first of the trilogy at the midnight showing and loved that as well. I want to see it again, as well as re-read the books. 

I watched a few interviews with the cast and discovered that Josh Hutcherson, Peeta in the movies, knew he wanted to act when he was just a kid. For those of you who don't know, I've wanted to act since 5th grade. In light of that...I began my search. Looking for information on casting for the next movies; Catching Fire and Mockingjay. I thought about the stories and what character I would like to be. I've always been okay with being an "extra" or a "small part" but I like having an idea of what I'm shooting for so that I can do a little extra to show my efforts.

I knew as soon as I began thinking about auditioning that I'd love to play the part of Johanna Mason. She's a past Victor of The Hunger Games from District 7 who is blunt, deceitful, and won her Games by tricking the other Tributes into thinking that she was weak and not a threat to them in the least...they, then, killed each other off and when there were only a few left she showed how vicious she truly was.
In reading the books I automatically had a connection with Johanna. I decided that, much like how Katniss had to "wow" the judges with her bow and arrow, I should be able to "wow" the casting directors with how I could transform from Me and almost become Johanna herself.  It is time to do some major character research and begin training. Being from D:7 Johanna was an amazing shot when it came to throwing axes and hatches. (Seven was the district that was over Lumber.) My boy is helping me through the entire thing. Even if it doesn't all work out...I'm excited to try. He's helping me eat healthier and work out so that I might start working on throwing hatchets. We're also working together on a monologue/ short script so that I may record that and send it into Lions Gate with a headshot and resume.

This is me following...pursuing...chasing after my dreams. All I can do is try harder than my hardest...

"May the odds be ever in [my] favor..." hehe
