district 1
Dear who ever this may concern,
Many people think being born into a district like district one is a blessing, and many of reasons it is. Yet, it is also a devilish hell if you're like I am, if you're different. I am eighteen years old now and ever since I was a young boy I knew I was different. Maybe it's since I simply don't like women, well not sexually that is. I have always been drawn towards other men due to their masculine and well defined bodies. However, ever since Julian and Mace became an item this whole sort of thing has been more open to people's eyes. What I believe is the cause of people's negative emotions towards me is that I prefer to write and learn far more than be a career. Don't get me wrong of course I am a career, not being one would be idiotic but I don't necessarily adore it. I would rather spend the days filling blank pages with creative and heart devastating words than dealing devastating blows to others of my species. In other districts, it is common sense not to enjoy any aspect of the games but not here. Here it's nothing but Hunger Games this and Hunger Games that; what happened to the days when people actually read and cried over the words of a brilliant author? Apparently those days are just about gone, but I am not willing to accept that. I will do everything I can with my mind and my pen to bring back the days of the books even if I have to die trying.
You see I was born into a very wealthy family in district one. My father is the head of a jewelry manufacturing company for the Capitol, so needless to say our wealth is quite large. My mother on the other hand use to live in the Capitol but moved to district one to marry my father. As much as I love them both they aren't exactly the best parents in all of Panem. It's obvious they care about me and my four other siblings but they never really show it. All they do is spend a lot of time in the Capitol while me and my siblings spend their money here and train for the games. In my opinion even though I am the second oldest of all of my siblings I spend my money the most intellectually. I use it to purchase books, pens, paper, food, and clothing. Only on occasion will someone find me buying anything for myself except some writing supplies and a nice new suit. I always feel as though I am the oldest of us since my eldest sibling, Kara, spends all her money on drugs and booze leaving me to have to care for our younger brothers and sister. Basically between cooking, cleaning, school, and career training I have hardly anytime to myself. Yet when I do have that small bit of time I can be found in the family study writing the hours away.
Going back to the whole career training sort of thing, well I started when I was about ten years old. The training was difficult of course but I always managed to hold my own against the other careers. In all honesty though, I consider myself the deadliest kind of career, one that knows how to use their brain. Typically careers only know how to kill and come up with plans to survive. All of those things are very helpful for the games of course, but I can take it all one step forward. Instead of just killing other tributes I can calculate how fast I may need to throw a knife or what exact point it needs to be at to hit a moving target. All of that may sound like what careers typically do but you would be surprised how many just use brute force and keen vision and hope their knife hits on par. I am going to guess that you already know my favorite weapon is the throwing knives since they are the most intellectually challenging in my opinion. However, I would prefer not to ever have to us my skills of knife throwing but instead use my skills of writing for my future.
As for the education that fuels my intellect started at the typical age of six. At first I was in the basic school with all the other children of district one. However, as several years progressed by I began really enjoying it and started to teach myself things out of school by reading books. My favorite subject in school by far was of course, English but more specifically writing. I would always receive the highest grades out of all the kids in my grade when it came down to writing. Eventually due to my success in school and my extra learning outside of it I had to become home schooled since I was on a pace far more advanced than the other kids. So ever since then I have been home schooled by a very smart and kind professor who primarily teaches me about writing. However, after being in school for so long and myself still learning outside of home schooling I already feel that I know whatever he is going to teach me.
Now I suppose I should enrich you all on a little more about me other than the basics. First off, in case you some how haven't been able to figure it out I am a very logical person. As long as I can remember I always look at various things within life and think that there must be logistical reasoning behind those things. For example I spent three entire years trying to formulate exactly why districts one, two, and four find the need to train for the games. Most people believe it is to increase their chances at winning the games but yet that can't be since they volunteer. After ruthless studies and dead ends I finally came up with the true reason behind it all. The truth is that they aren't that concerned about a better chance at surviving but instead they do it as a selfish greed and a void. What I mean by this is that they train so they can become stars if they ever do enter the games and it is also a way for them all to get rid of their excess violence and anger. Now I believe you can see just how logical minded I am towards just about everything.
I suppose another nice thing to know about myself would be that I am typically very sensitive. Many people in my district including my siblings believes it makes me weak and foolish. Yet I know it only makes me more human than all of them who don't seem to have any emotions other than hate and pride. I mean yes maybe I am a little over the top sensitive since I take the lightest critiques as heart breaking insults. And yes I do find myself with leaky eyes more than the average human but what can I do about it, it is simply how Ripred made me. Also being gay with this little problem makes life quite a bitch considering many people don't accept my life style and like to vocalize that to me. You know maybe I should just move on away from this subject before I work myself up again.
Now allow me to steer this in another direction away from my personality and out towards my actual physique. Well as for my face I have very large and vibrant lily pad green eyes. I also have rather large and quite plushy pink lips; I have always believed they are too big but I would rather keep them than go through surgery to thin them out. As more my nose and ears are opposite to my eyes and lips and are quite petite throwing all the proportions off. My siblings often joke about how I look like I have a baby face due to the entire mix up of smalls and larges. Why couldn't I be all big or all small, I will never know. As for my skin it is very light almost porcelain coloration and is covered in very feint freckles all over the surface. Then on top of all that I have a very long and smooth head of brown-red hair, so yes I believe I look like those little green men within the story books I use to read.
As for my stature I am not the tallest guy around but I sure as hell am not the shortest either. Currently I am about five foot eleven inches, give or take, and I weigh about one hundred and thirty pounds. I am not the broadest person around either since I have rather close shoulders and a below average waist size. Moving on from waist size, now I can enrich you on my attire. I always and I mean ALWAYS, wear a very nice coat, matching pants, dress shoes, and typically a white undershirt but sometimes light blue as well. As for why I dress this way well it's simple, if I want to be a great author I have to dress accordingly. Even on Reaping day and special formal occasions I wear a suit but typically it will be black on those few rare days. Well now you know what I look like, what I am like, and my history it is time for me to sign off, farewell.
