“Well don’t expect us to be too impressed.

Okay. I take it back. I don't like this fame thing anymore. Being somebody like Finnick was pretty cool at first. I mean, the guy's freaking adored by fans, who wouldn't like that? We're not going to talk about the other stuff. Nope. Refusing that talk right here. But now the crazies have come out to play, and I'm opting to go back in the closet. It's safer in there.

See, I was okay when The Hunger Games came out. I mean, I got a couple of stares and some approaches and stuff, but Finnick? Not in the first one. I didn't see it, don't want to see it, and it's not super connected to me other than it's the prequel to my grand debut. But people are over that movie now, and they've moved on. To talking about Catching Fire. Which Finnick is in. Which they're debating on the perfect casting for now. Particularly for him.

So this is a public service announcement: I don't want to see your dream cast for myself and Annie in a depressing graphic with our quotes and all of that...stuff. It's creepy that you have time for that. And it's creepier some of the other stuff, too but I don't want to talk about that because it goes back to the other thing.

Yup. That's right everybody. You better be careful around us Hunger Games types. We're prone to be super violent. Hell, get too close and I might start pegging you with sugar cubes. We're absolutely the ones you should be fearing right now.

You know, the Capitol tried to paint them all as traitors destroying Panem or whatever, too. Divide and conquer. If you don't trust the face of the rebellion and all that stuff you won't rise up against their evil. What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't take the word of a faceless nothing as truth and let it throw us all. Trust me. Finnick and I know all-too-well the power of secrets.

So yeah. Basically, shove off Rumor Mill.

This is probably a weird thing to request on my first trek into the land of reincarnate boards, but you know what? I've always liked taking a walk on the wild side of things. Never know how long you've got to enjoy the sugar cubes of life, right? But alas, my equally-crazy friends, I, Christian Shipton, am in need of a housemate.

I know, I know. This probably comes as a shock. How is somebody as awesome as this guy having trouble finding somebody to live with him? Have we fallen into a parallel universe where people have lost all sense of what's amazing? Are people intimidated by this guys ability to just be perfect in all ways imaginable? I know, my friends, I know. It's hard for me to fathom as well. But here I am, begging for somebody to take up residence with me so I can afford my rent after my housemate had to bail on me. I can't blame him; family emergencies do suck. But as you can see, it's left me in a bit of a bind.

Oh, and if you're looking to apply for the honor of living with me? May the odds be ever in your favor.

"Well, I can't leave Mags behind. She's one of the few people who actually likes me."
