    I've also heard that the second one is significantly better. Maybe I'll treat myself to a movie night and see if it gets any better. The synopsis on IMDb sounds much more interesting.
    Book ends in the same spot, but the book at least explains thing throughout the book so it doesn't seem so sudden, movie doesn't do anything. Second one is good as well, the arena is way better in the second one than the first, but I dislike the ending and the entire third one.

    Hmm, I might as well watch the running man then

Still, I'm super-happy these days and surrounded by lovely friends despite spending a good number of years hardly talking to anyone and wishing that I didn't even exist, so these things don't have to last forever. If I can get over them, you can too~! If you ever want someone to talk to, I'm always happy to listen.
    Thanks, I think I've sorted out most of the trauma and gotten over it. But who knows if something happens that re-emerges it or a big step to getting back out there starts to become bothersome. I'll always keep you on the back of my mind as someone I can talk to.

    absolutely. I could enjoy that film any day of the week. I found it to be very enjoyable. Oddly reminds me of smash TV for some reason
