TOPIC THE FIRST: Lorde's new song for Mockingjay Part 1, Yellow Flicker Beat. I will be completely honest here and say that it's not my favourite song of hers. I actually prefer 'Everyone Wants to Rule the World' which was also written for Mockingjay. However I will say that it channels Katniss perfectly, with the lyrics and with the type of song it is.
I'm a princess cut from marble,smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
And my necklace is a rope, I tie it and untie it
And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
I'm going in (ooh)
(The opening lyrics of the song. Awesome right? Lorde's lyrics are always the best because they actually mean something)

TOPIC THE THIRD (and final, thank god. I have no idea where this post is going): My best friend and I have FINALLY got tickets to see the one and only CASSANDRA CLARE AND HOLLY BLACK TALK ABOUT THEIR NEW BOOK MAGISTERIUM: THE IRON TRIALS. I'M FINALLY GONNA MEET CASSANDRA CLARE AFTER HAVING TO MISS THE LAST TWO OPPORTUNITIES I'M INCREDIBLY EXCITED IN CASE YOU CAN'T TELL.
I think I'll go away now. This post has been incredibly random. :-)
