I was watching a movie last night and I was really getting into it and falling in love with the characters. Then it happened. The two main characters that were falling in love looked deep into each others eyes and looked happy and hopeful. Their lives were going to be wonderful. BUT!! It was only part way through the movie. You could see they were so entirely happy that they morphed into lambs about to be slaughtered. I just was not in the mood for that poop. I can always spot the character that is the sacrificial lamb. Doomed to die and make me feel awful. So I decided the character was going to live by the very act of turning the movie off. Problem solved. I am still not over how the Hunger Games Trilogy ended, so I think it was time for me to take charge. Boom. Happy ending.
