I got a text message today that said "Stop whatever you're doing right now and go to the link I just sent you."
Begrudgingly I did so.
It took me here.
Where I immediately called over Mer Bear and Interns Laurel, Rachel, and Brooks. Because it was definitely Stop Whatever You're Doing worthy.

Five Random Things About Suzie
1. I drink so much orange soda, it's probably running through my veins. I've been known to go through a twelve pack of diet sunkist in a day.
2. I'm legitimately nocturnal (or a vampire). I will be so exhausted at two pm that I'm falling asleep standing up - it has happened before, at Six Flags no less - but as soon as the sun goes down I'm wide awake.
3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet, and it showed up on my doorstep the same day my (now ex) fiance broke up with me. And thank God for that. I wouldn't have wanted to waste that dress on him.
4. Social anxiety plagues me daily. I write a script and practice in front of the mirror when I have to make a phone call, but most people who interact with me have no idea how nervous I am (or perhaps they lie) because I've worked so hard to try to overcome it.
5. I'm actually worried that I will never love my children (when I do have them in the far off future) as much as I love my dogs. I just like animals better than people - they're sweet and innocent and soft and furry - is that so wrong?

I watched this from a twitter link earlier today, and OMG, like whoa. I started crying in the first few minutes.
Yeah, this was kind of awesome/heartbreaking.
Um...whoa. Simply amazing. Teared up. Wow.
I'm not one for book trailers, but yeah, I'll give this book a try. That was better than any kind of trailer I've seen before.
It's not a trailer. It's an audition tape for the movie. A professional video production company put it together for the actors.
Wow. Thanks for sharing this!
That was amazing, and I'm crying my eyes out.
Thanks for sharing!

So amazing! Now I'm afraid the actual movie won't live up to it.
Still crying as I write this...
Thanks for sharing.
That was brilliant. I teared up, too! Now forwarding this to a ton of people :)
Wow. Totally teared up.
Also, so violent! But so is the book, it's just... wow. If the movie ends up being like this...
I don't know. This is how the movie should be because that's how the Hunger Games are.
Rue. *sniffles*
Definitely cried my way through this! Wow wow wow.
I saw this earlier today. It is crazy good! *sniff* It gives me hope that THG movie can/will be done well.
This was great--except for the fact that Rue is supposed to be Black. :(
Whoa is right! I LOVED The Hunger Games and seeing this gives me hope that the movie at least has the possibility of not sucking. Though living up to this will be difficult.
